5. System Connections
IPC-100 systems can be connected in either 1-to-1 fashion where one IPC-100 is
connected one PC client or decoder system or 1-to-many fashio n where one IPC-100
connected to many PC and decoder systems. (IPE-3100 video server can work as a
decoder system which takes the data from a video server or IP camera, decodes and
outputs analog video.)
Topology
Generally, the IPC-100 and the PC & decoder are conne cted in 1-to-1 mode or 1-tomany connection is also supported.

video images can be transmitted and a PC or a decoder is installed at a center location
to receive and view the video images on analog monitor. Audio and serial data are
transferred in either direction.

In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote center locations.
Although up to 64 PCs or decoders can be connected to on IPC-100, in the real network
environment, network bandwidth can limit the maximum connections.
Functionally, the central monitoring system software can replace the decoder.
Multicast Mode
Within the network that supports multicasting, a large number of decoders can be used
to receive video effectively from an IPC-100 using a single streaming of video and audio.

In this arrangement, video and audio can be retransmitted from a center to another

2. Installation
1. Connecting Network (LAN)
Connect LAN and there is a Video output to check video quality.
2. Connecting Audio
Audio is bi-directional in any configuration. If necessary, it can be configured to be in
transmit-only, receive -only or bi-directional mode.
-8-
IPC-100 User Manual
- Connect audio input and output ports to audio devices accordingly.
- Audio signal is in line level, therefore, microphone or speaker with amplification
function should be used.
3. Connecting Serial Ports
The serial port (RS-485) in IPC-100 can be connected to external equ ipment such as
PTZ receiver etc. Then, PC client can send PTZ commands to the external equipment
via serial port. When a decoder system instead of PC client is connect ed to IPC-100,
the serial port of IPC-100 and that of the decoder system works in pass-through mode.
That is, data at one port are delivered to the other port, vice versa.
4. Connecting Sensor and Alarm
Connect sensor and alarm devices to corresponding terminals accordingly.
5. Connecting Power
After confirming the power source, connect power adaptor and connect the 12VDC
connector to the system. Soon the system will boot up to an operating mode.
6. Check if It Works
As soon as the power is supplied to the system, it will boot and, after about 30 seconds,
the system will be ready for operation.
3. System Operation
1. Remote Video Monitoring
There are two ways to view the video once connections are made between the site and
center system. In order for a proper operation, an IP address must be set accordingly
and please refer to IP Manager in Chapter 4 or Remote Setting in Chapter 5 for a
further details.
Default ID : admin Password : 1234

IPC-100 User Manual
Video Monitoring with Decoder Sy stem
Once the IPC-100 IP address is set in the remote IP address section of the decoder, the
decoder system will connect to the IPC-100 and start receiving the video images.
Normally, a monitor connected to the decoder will display video images.
Video Monitoring using Internet Explorer
If an encoder’s IP address in entered on the Internet Explorer, the system will ask for
confirmation to install Active-X control. Once authorized, the Internet Explorer will start
to display video images from the encoder as shown below.
http://192.168.10.100
2. Initialization of IP Address
If a system IP address is lost, the system can be reset to a known IP address using the
reset button in the back side of the system:
c While system is in operation, press the reset button more than 5 seconds.
d The system will reboot automatically
e Once the system has been rebooted, IP address will be set to the following.
- IP mode: Fixed IP
-10-
- IP address: 192.168.10.100
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

IPC-100 User Manual
The IPC-100 series has one sensor port and alarm port. Actual numbers of
sensor, alarm ports and beep may vary depending on models.
When a decoder system instead of a PC client is co nnected to a IPC-100, one system
becomes a Local system and the other a Remote system (Generally a system which is
being used by the user is called as Local system). Then, actions for events can be
configured for events from remote system as well as for local system. For example, it is
possible to turn on an alarm device in local(center) decoder system when a sensor
device in remote(site) IP camera is triggered. Local section configures the actions for
events from local (self) system, and configuration activates local devices and Remote
sections configures the actions for events from remote (peer) system.
. The following table lists the possible actions for events.
Sensor In One sensor in port
Alarm out Triggers alarm (relay) port.
Sensor
Configure the actions when the sensor is activated. Multiple actions can be set
for a single event.
On Video Loss
Configure the actions when video input signal is lost. Multiple actions can be
set for a single event.
On Motion
Action Description

FTP Upload AVI file to a specified FTP server
Configure the actions when motion is detected. Multiple actions can be set for a
single event.
-23-
IPC-100 User Manual
On Disconnect
Configure the actions when the link (connection) with peer system is
disconnected. Multiple actions can be set for a single event.
Alarm activation duration
Set the duration of alarm activation in case of an event. If it is set to continuous,
it will be in active state until an operator reset it manually.
E-mail Notification
Specify the information to send E-mail as the action of an event. The address of
mail (SMTP) server needs to be specified on Server Address field and Port
specifies the port for SMTP operation (Port 25 is the default port in SMTP
operation. If different port is configured in the SMTP server, this port needs to
be changed accordingly). When the server requires authentication, ID and
password of an E-mail account need to be entered also. Destination address
needs to be entered on Destination Address field. More than one address can
be entered by delimiting comma(,) or semi-colon(;). Destination address can
take up to 63 characters. Video clip of AVI file format at the moment of the
event can be attached by setting Video Clip Attaching.
FTP Upload
Specify the information for uploading video file as the action of an event. The
address of an FTP server to receive video files is specified on Server Address
field, and Port specifies the port for FTP operation (Port 21 is the default port in
FTP operation. If different port is configured in the FTP server, this port needs
to be changed accordingly.). ID and password for accessing the FTP server
also need to be specified.
Event Recording
Specify how a video clip is to be generated for E-mail sending or FTP uploading.
Pre-event Time specifies the duration of recording before an event happens.
Post-event Time specifies the duration after the event is cleared.
