SD Card Slot: Insert a SD card if you want to do the event recording in the
video server.
1. Connect the video and audio outputs of analog camera to the video server. If the
analog camera is a PTZ device, connect the RS-485 for the remote PTZ control.
2. Connect the cables of Digital I/O, Video output andAudio output if you want to use
these functionalities.
3. Connect the wireless antenna for Wireless model.
4. Connect Ethernet cable for network connection.
5. Connect power adapter to turn on the video server.
6. Set up the network configurations according to the network environment. For further
explanation, please refer to Network Configuration chapter.
7. After finish the configuration for the very first time, if you want to use wireless network,
plug out the Ethernet cable.
I/O Connections
I/O terminal connector – used in application, for e.g., motion detection, event triggering,
alarm notifications. It provides the interface to:
4 sets of Digital Input (Alarm In + GND) – The digital inputs for connecting devices
that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, such as PIRs, door/window
contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the status changes
and the input becomes active.
4 sets of Relay Output (N.O. + COM or N.C. + COM) –The output to Relay switch
of the alarm device such as LEDs, Sirens, etc.

Digital Input (Alarm Input)
GND (Ground): Initial status is LOW.
Alarm: Max. 50mA, 12VDC.
Relay output
COM: Common pin.
N.O. (Normally Open): Max. 1A/ 24VDC or 0.5A / 125VAC.
N.C. (Normally Close): Max. 1A / 24VDC or 0.5A / 125VAC.

C. IP Assignment
Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your
video server in order to avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
MAC Address: Each network video server has a unique Ethernet address (MAC
address) shown on the sticker of the device.
One final note, although the IP Search is able to find and configure any network
device on the LAN except those that are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the
host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the Web-based user interface of
the network video server, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more
information about subnets, please consult your network administrator.
There are 3 kinds of IP configuration:
Fixed IP (Public IP or Virtual IP)
DHCP (Dynamic IP)
Dial-up (PPPoE)
IP Search is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP
address and network settings of the network camera in Local Network (LAN). It even
provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple devices simultaneously.
Moreover, IP Search can save the network settings for all devices as a backup and
restore them when necessary.
The software can be installed from the attached software CD.
1. Once IP Search has been successfully installed on the computer, double click the
“IP Search” icon on the desktop.
