Introduction
Congratulations! You have chosen the MemoCam modular
security solution. MemoCam replaces the classic combination
of Time Lapse VCR, PIR detector and camera equipment with a
fully integrated system, packaged in a standard PIR detector
case.
MemoCam is a modular solution that allows for economical
system expansion and optimized use of existing equipment.
With MemoCam, you can expand from a single unit to
multiple sites and cameras.
MemoCam is a configurable system solution for PIR and Video
detection, CCTV monitoring, snapshot recording, and alarm
triggering.
MemoCam stores all images in a Multimedia Card. To analyze
the recorded events on a PC, the Multimedia Card is removed
from the MemoCam unit and images are downloaded using a
Multimedia Card reader and the MemoCam software.
One or more stand-alone units can be placed at different
locations. The units are configured using the Multimedia Card.
The MemoCam is activated using the remote control unit.

The MemoCam unit has the following features:
Automatic setup using the Multimedia Card.
User defined image quality, frame rate, and recording time
per event, delay between frames, and more.
Fixed or cyclic recording modes.
Pre-alarm recording.
Image integrity protection.
Arm/Disarm Scheduler.
Video motion detection (MemoCam Plus, DVR).
Multi camera support (MemoCam Plus, DVR).

represents the type of built-in serial communication port
featured by the model. MemoCam Plus/S2 and features an
RS-232 port. MemoCam Plus/S4 features an RS-485 port. A
series of MemoCam Plus/S4 units can all be connected to a
host.
MemoCam DVR/S* — like the MemoCam DVR but
provides the additional feature of a built-in serial port for
serial communication. “*” denotes “2” or “4”. The digit
represents the type of built-in serial communication port
featured by the model. MemoCam DVR/S2 features an
RS-232 port. MemoCam DVR/S4 features an RS-485 port.

Connecting External Cameras
Connecting to external cameras enables you to leverage the
surveillance features of the MemoCam solution for more than
one camera. External cameras allow for multiple angle
snapshots.
The MemoCam DVR and MemoCam DVR/S* models do not
contain internal cameras and are each designed to be used
with at least one external camera. One video input cable
comes pre-connected for this purpose.
The MemoCam Plus and MemoCam Plus/S* models also
support up to two external cameras. Figure 7 shows a
MemoCam Plus or MemoCam Plus/S* connected to two
external cameras.

The DCAM 500 is a Video Domain camera that features a PIR
and a camera, ideal for taking snapshots from the same
position as the detection mechanism. Figure 8 shows the
MemoCam deployed in conjunction with a DCAM 500 camera.
Figure 8. Using the DCAM 500 as an External Camera
Communicating with a Host
The MemoCam Plus/S* and the MemoCam DVR/S* models
feature a serial communication port for connection to a host.
Figure 9 shows four MemoCam DVR/S* units communicating
with a host PC to connect and control a network of twelve
external cameras.
