1.3 System Connections
Cywatch HD Megapixel IP cameras can be connected in either 1-to-1 fashion where one Cywatch
HD Megapixel IP camera is connected one decoder or 1-to-many fashion where one Cywatch HD
Megapixel IP camera connected to many PC and decoders. (Cywatch video server can work as a
decoder system which takes the data from a video server or IP camera, decodes and outputs analog
video.)
To p o l o g y
Generally, the Cywatch HD Megapixel IP camera and the PC & decoder are connected in 1-to-1
mode or 1-to-many connection is also supported.
1:1 Connection (Unidirection)
Mostly used configuration is 1 to 1 connection. A Cywatch HD Megapixel IP camera is installed at a
site where 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.

1:N Connection (Unidirection)
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 Cywatch HD Megapixel IP camera, 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 a Cywatch HD Megapixel IP camera using a single streaming of video and
audio.
Relaying
In this arrangement, video and audio can be retransmitted from a center to another center. The
arrangement is useful when the network bandwidth to the site is limited while there are more than
one center wanting to monitor the site.

2System Operation
2.1 Remote Video Monitoring
There are two ways to view the video once connections are made between local the site and center
system. In order for a proper operation, an IP address must be set accordingly and please refer to
‘Cyexplorer User’s Guide’ or ‘Remote Configuration in Chapter 3’ for a further details.
Video Monitoring with Decoder System
Once the IP address of Cywatch HD Megapixel IP camera is set in the remote IP address section of
the decoder, the decoder system will connect to the Cywatch HD Megapixel IP camera and start
receiving the video images. Normally, a monitor connected to the decoder will display video images.
Video Monitoring using Internet Explorer
If a system’s IP address is 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 IP camera as shown below.

DDNS
Select the DDNS(Dynamic DNS) server to use. One of the two IP cameras can be selected.
- TrueDNS : use TrueDNS service. Systems can be registered on the website for TrueDNS
service: http://ns1.truecam.net. System will get a domain name of xxx.truecam.net style.
Refer user guide document for True DNS service.
- DynDNS : use DynDNS service. Refer www.dyndns.org for details.
Flow Control Mode
When several clients connect to an IP camera, bandwidths of networks clients may differ
and some clients may not receive encoded stream fully. To handle such situation, three flow
control modes which can be chosen according to users’ preference are provided.
