Introduction 4

Introduction

This guide explains how to set up the hardware components of SerVision’s UVG400 security system. The UVG400
belongs to SerVision’s line of embedded Video Gateway units. These units provide state-of-the-art security
functionality, including live video streaming, video recording and playback, motio n detection, sensor management,
real-time event notification, and device activation. All of these features can be accessed remotely via PC, PDA, or
cellular telephone.

The UVG400 can stream video and other security data to users via cabled Ethernet connection or wirelessly via
WiFi or cellular networks. This versatility makes it ideal for securing locations in which cabled connections are not
available: garages, stables, parking lots, construction areas, etc.

Once the UVG400 has been installed as explained in this guide, it must be configured. Configuration is performed
by connecting to the UVG400 unit using a PC that is on the same network as the unit (or connected to the unit
directly using a LAN cross cable) and opening the unit’s configuration utility in a browser. For additional
information about configuring your UVG400, please refer to the Embedded Video Gateway System Guide.

Client software is used for accessing the UVG400 unit remotely in order to view video and events and control the
system in various ways. SerVision offers client software for PCs and for certain cellular telephone and PDA
models. Full instructions for the use of the client applications are available in separate manuals, which can be
downloaded at http://www.servision.net

Additional Equipment 6

Additional Equipment

Up to four video cameras can be connected to the UVG400. You must acquire the cameras you require; they are not
included in the UVG400 package. For information about camera compatibility and about connecting the cameras to
the unit, see Connecting Cameras, page 10, or consult your vendor.

In addition to the cameras, you may wish to incorporate some or all of the optional equipment listed below into your
security system. For additional information about these items and the cables required to connect them, please refer
to the installation instructions for each type of device.

NOTE: This equipment is not included in the UVG400 package.

• Cellular modem with USB adaptor (see Connecting the UVG400 to an External Network, page 21)

Note: Not all cellular modems are supported. Please contact your UVG400 supplier or SerVision technical
support for a list of supported cellular modems.

• USB extension cord for connecting the cellular modem to the unit; the modem functions best if it is installed

as high up as possible and in an exposed location (see Connecting the UVG400 to an External Network,
page 21)

Note: The extension cord should not be longer than about 1.5 meters.

• WiFi card with USB adaptor (see Connecting the UVG400 to an External Network, page 21)

Note: Not all WiFi cards are supported. Please contact your UVG400 supplier or SerVision technical support
for a list of supported WiFi cards.

• Up to four dry-contact sensors (see Connecting Sensors, page 11)

Note: Up to four dry-contact sensors can be connected directly to the UVG400 unit. If you use either an
ADAM module or an IA relay board, as described below, you can connect an additional 16 dry-contact
sensors via the unit’s RS232/485 connector.

• ADAM Data Acquisition Module and ADAM isolated RS232->RS422/RS485 converter, for connecting up to

16 dry-contact sensors (see Con necti n g Sensors, page 11)

• Intelligent Appliance IA-3126-2 relay board, for connecting up to 16 dry-contact sensors (see Connecting

Sensors and Activators Using an IA Relay Board, page 16) and 16 activators to the UVG400 unit

• Up to two dry-contact activators (alarms or other devices that are turned on or off in response to the activation

of a sensor; see Connecting Acti v at ors, page 16)
Note: Up to two activators can be connected directly to the UVG400 unit. If you use an IA relay board, as

described above, you can connect an additional 16 activators via the unit’s RS232/485 connector.

• Up to two microphones (see Connecting Microphones, page 18)

• Speaker or headphones (the unit already contains a built-in speaker; see Connecting a Speaker or Headphones,

page 18)

• CCTV monitor for closed-circuit video display (see Connecting a CCTV Monitor, page 19)

• Push-button switch to change the display in a connected CCTV monitor (see Connecting a Switch, page 20)

• Toggle (on-off) switch to change the active outline (see Connecting Sensors, page 11)

Installing the UVG400 System 7

Installing the UVG400 System

These are the steps that you will typically follow in order to install the UVG400 system:

1. Place the UVG400 unit in its desired location; see Selecting a Location for the Unit, page 7.

2. Install the video cameras in their desired locations.

3. Install the sensors in their desired locations (optional).

Note: Four sensors can be connected directly to the unit; another 16 must be connected through an ADAM
module or an IA relay board; see Connecting Sensors, page 11.

4. Install a toggle switch to change the active outline (optional); see Connecting Sensors, page 11.

5. Install the activators in their desired locations (optional).

Note: Two activators can be connected directly to the unit; another 16 can be connected through an IA relay
board; see Connecting Activators, page 16.

6. Install a CCTV monitor in its desired location (optional).

Note: If you want to use a mouse to control the monitor display, place the monitor close to the UVG400 unit,
because the mouse is plugged into the unit, not into the monitor.

7. Install a push-button switch in its desired location (optional); the push-button switch can be used to change the
display on the CCTV monitor, if a monitor is connected to the unit; see Connecting Sensors, page 11.

8. Connect the cameras and other devices to the UVG400 and to a power supply, as required; see Connecting
Devices to the UVG400, page 10.

9. Place the cellular modem in an appropriate location in the vehicle and connect it to the unit using a USB
extension cord (optional); see Connecting the UVG400 to an External Network, page 21.

10. Connect the WiFi adaptor to the unit (optional); see Connecting the UVG400 to an External Network, page 21.

11. Connect the unit to a LAN using an Ethernet cable (optional); see Connecting the UVG400 to an External
Network, page 21.

12. Install any devices that will be connected to the UVG400's internal network in their desired locations. Connect
them to a power source and to the unit (optional); see Connecting Devices to the UVG400’s Internal Network,
page 21.

13. Connect the UVG400 unit to a power source; see Connecting the UVG400 to a Power Source, page 23.

Selecting a Location for the Unit

The UVG400 unit should be placed on a flat surface such as a table or shelf. (It is not designed for mounting
directly on a wall.) Ensure the unit has at least a few centimeters (1–2 inches) of space above it and on all sides for
ventilation.

When choosing a location for the UVG400, bear in mind that the unit must be connected to a power outlet and a
LAN or a PC, and that other devices (cameras, sensors, etc.) must be connected to it. Choose a location in which
these connections are feasible.
