Introduction
Dear customer,
Thank you for choosing the C-MOR video server.

The video server C-MOR is used for the surveillance of objects. The video signals recorded

MOR. The software installed on the hardware enables simultaneous recordings of max. six
connected video signals. Data saving underlies country-specific guidelines. You are able to
access installed cameras and servers (secured by password and encryption) over your web
browser from all over the world.

our hotline. Please find more information on www.c-mor.us (or please see contact data in the
appendix of this manual).
Before putting into operation
The use of surveillance systems may be prohibited or regulated by law in certain countries. C-
MOR has not only been developed for high performance use over the internet but can also be
part of a flexible surveillance facility.

out within regulatory framework. Before the installation, please make sure that the package
content is complete. In order to avoid damage by incorrect connection or wrong configuration,

1 Installation
The installation process of C-MOR is very easy. The complete setup consists of just three
steps - C-MOR is then ready for recording.
Software requirements of your PC:
An Internet browser supporting the following web technologies:
JavaScript
HTTP 1.1
Cookies
Most of today's browsers like Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 are suitable for
the administration and the use of C-MOR. The majority of operating systems include Java VM
(Virtual Machine). In case your operating system does not support Java VM, for viewing live streams of
the camera it will be necessary to install a Java runtime environment (e.g. Java Runtime Environment,
JRE by Sun).
For the playback of video recordings, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 codices are required. Most software
DVD- players like WinDVD or PowerDVD support these codices but it may be necessary to install the
codec separately. Windows is already equipped with these codices by the means of the Media Player.
Current versions of Linux derivatives also offer suitable movie players with correspondent codices. We
recommend the VLC Player for Macintosh Operating Systems.
Most suitable for the display of the C-MOR web interface is the web browser Mozilla Firefox.
1.1 Package Contents
Carefully unpack the C-MOR package and ensure that you have the following items:
- 1x C-MOR-Box
- 1x 2 m network cable
- 1x power cable for C-MOR
- 4x stand support

1.2 Setup of Camera
Connect camera and C-MOR over router or switch to the network. Make sure that the network
components transmit all IP protocols. If necessary, settings of the firewall have to be adjusted. Please
follow the instructions of the graphic below.

C-MOR 6P
User Manual Page 6
1.3 Setup of C-MOR
Make sure that the device is set up on a safe and even surface where it is not exposed to intensive
humidity or extreme variations in temperature. C-MOR must not be exposed to direct sunlight. For
safety reasons C-MOR should be set up where only authorized personnel has access. Your recordings
are only safe if C-MOR is protected from demolition and theft!
Connect C-MOR to the power supply using the power cable and to the network using the
network cable (2 m).
The interface marked with the sticker “ONLY FOR AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL” is not suitable for
network operating but only for maintenance use. Please do not use that connection!
1.4 Setup of Existing Network
Connect LAN1 of C-MOR with your network. C-MOR will be ready for operation as soon as you have
specified an IP address of your network area as described under Administration/Change
of IP Address.

Besides HTTP connections that are transferred over the Internet without encryption C-MOR also
offers encrypted access over HTTPS.

https://c-mor.your-domain.us. or https://IP-address (e.g. 192.168.1.2)

C-MOR 6P
User Manual Page 10
Apart from the standard ports 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS, C-MOR can also be used over the
alternative port 9000 (for HTTP) and port 9443 (for HTTPS). These alternative ports are used when
C-MOR is accessed over a firewall and the respective ports on the firewall are already in use by other
applications.
The WWW surface is divided into 6 web sides that are built on each other and individual pages for the
corresponding camera:
2.1 Start Page
The start page consists of the menu in the upper section of the page, the help menu on the left,
6 camera live views and the reference to the camera functions.
On the start page you will find an overview of all functions for the operation and administration of
C-MOR. As soon as a camera within the net is activated and starts recording, an up-to-date snapshot by
the camera will be displayed.

By clicking “save as” the browser will either offer to save the selected recording to a requested storage
location on your computer or to play the recording.
Please note: C-MOR is trying to control the browser so that there is always the choice between saving or
opening –meaning that recordings can either be saved or played.
In case the corresponding selection screen does not appear there is a customized setting in the browser
itself on what will be executed concerning the data. In such a case please check the manual of the
browser in order to find out how to deactivate the function (if desired).
Each recording that has been recorded due to motion detection also offers single frames of the event.
Please click on in order to get to the page where you can view the complete series of single
frames and download them as a ZIP archive.

browser function select “open file”. After clicking the option the application connected to video data will
open automatically and directly play the recordings.
