details.
Factory Reset
This switch will only be used on the rare occasions that you want to return all the settings to the original
factory settings.
CAUTION: When performing a Factory Reset, you will lose any settings you have saved.
Disconnect the power adapter from the transmitter. →Poke a straightened paperclip into the factory
reset switch hole. →Connect the power while holding the reset switch →Release the switch when
the Network and Power LEDs blink together. →The transmitter resets to factory defaults and restarts
after completing the factory reset.

User’s Manual
6
You can perform a factory reset while the transmitter is turned on by poking a straightened paperclip
into the factory reset switch hole and releasing the reset switch. A factory reset also can be performed
remotely by running the INIT program. The transmitter restarts after completing the factory reset.
Refer to the INIT User’s Manual for details on remote factory resetting.
2.3 Rear Panel
No. Designation Details
1 Network Port
Connect a Cat5 cable with an RJ-45 jack. Refer to the INIT User’s Manual
for details on network connection setup.
When using a PoE switch, the transmitter can be supplied with power over
Ethernet. (Refer to the PoE switch manufacturer’s manual for details.)
2 Audio Out
Connect to an amplifier (Line-out). The transmitter does not have amplified
audio output, so you will need a speaker with an amplifier.
3 Audio In
Connect to an audio source. (Line-in or Microphone)
4 Video In Connect coaxial cables from the video sources (NTSC or PAL).
5 Video Out Connect to a monitor (NTSC or PAL).
6 RS485 Port
Connect to a PTZ camera. Connect TX+/RX+ and TX-/RX- of the PTZ camera
to the + and – (respectively) of the transmitter. Refer to the PTZ camera
manufacturer’s manual for configuring the RS485 connection. When the
transmitter receives RS485 data via a video receiver, other RS485 communication
devices can be connected. Refer to the video receiver’s User’s Manual for
details for receiving RS485 data via a video receiver.
7 Alarm Output
Connect an alarm-out device to the NO (Normally Open) and C(Common)
connectors. NO is a relay output which sinks 0.3A @ 125 VAC and 1A @
30 VDC.
8 GND
Connect to the ground side of the alarm inputs.
9 Alarm Input
Connect alarm-in devices. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to
the AI (Alarm-In) and GND (Ground) connectors. The voltage range is from
0V to 3.3V. When the electrical switch is wired, the threshold voltage for
NC (Normally Closed) is above 2.4V and for NO (Normally Open) is below
0.3V, and it should be stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected.
10 Power In
Connect two wires from the power adapter (12 VDC or 24 VAC). You do not
need to distinguish power polarity when connecting the wires. The transmitter
starts booting as soon as power is applied.

Four-Channel Video Transmitter

NOTES:
To make connections on the Alarm Connector Strip, press and hold the button and insert the wire in
the hole below the button. After releasing the button, tug gently on the wire to make certain it is
connected. To disconnect a wire, press and hold the button above the wire and pull out the wire.
Camera and audio surveillance may be prohibited by laws that vary by region. Check the laws in
your area before using this product for surveillance purposes.
CAUTIONS:
The transmitter restarts after the power adaptor is disconnected from the transmitter when
switching the power source from 12 VDC or 24 VAC to PoE.
The network connector is not designed to be connected directly with cable or wire intended
for outdoor use.
Do NOT stack transmitters or put anything on top of the transmitter. Stacking transmitters
or placing items on top of them restricts ventilation which can cause improper operation or
the risk of fire.
WARNING: ROUTE POWER CORDS SO THAT THEY ARE NOT A TRIPPING HAZARD. MAKE
CERTAIN THE POWER CORD WILL NOT BE PINCHED OR ABRADED BY FURNITURE. DO NOT
INSTALL POWER CORDS UNDER RUGS OR CARPET. THE POWER CORD HAS A GROUNDING
PIN. IF YOUR POWER OUTLET DOES NOT HAVE A GROUNDING PIN RECEPTACLE, DO NOT
MODIFY THE PLUG. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE CIRCUIT BY PLUGGING TOO MANY DEVICES
INTO ONE CIRCUIT.

automatically assigned to the transmitter. The transmitter
periodically will be issued a new IP address automatically.
DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the DNS server. If you set up the DNS server, the domain
name of the server can be used instead of the IP address during the DVRNS, time or SMTP server
setup. Ask your Internet service provider for the IP Address of the DNS Server.
NOTES:
Ask your network provider for details about the network connection type and connection information
for the transmitter.
If the transmitter is configured for a DHCP or ADSL network, it is best to use the DVRNS function
because the transmitter’s IP address might change frequently. Ask your Internet service provider for
information about the IP Address of the DNS Server.
DVRNS
Check the DVR Name Service box to use the DVR Name
Service function.
DVRNS Server: Enter the IP address or domain name
of the DVRNS server.
Port: Set up the port number of the DVRNS server.

User’s Manual
12
Help Desk: Choosing the OK button registers the transmitter on the DVRNS server. Proper DVRNS
settings will display the help desk information of the DVRNS server.
NOTES:
The DVRNS (DVR Name Service) function allows the transmitter to use dynamic IP addresses for
remote connection. When using this function, you can access the transmitter remotely by using the
transmitter’s name instead of its IP address. For the DVRNS function to work properly, the
transmitter should be registered on the DVRNS server, and the DVRNS server settings in the INIT
program for the transmitter should match the settings registered on the DVRNS server. Any
changes on the DVRNS server might cause improper operation.
When LAN settings have been changed, set up the DVRNS settings after saving your LAN changes
by clicking the OK button.
You will need to get the IP address or domain name of the DVRNS server from your network administrator.
You can use the domain name instead of IP address if you set up the DNS server during the IP Address
setup.
When using a NAT (Network Address Translation) device, refer to the NAT manufacturer’s instructions
for the proper network settings.
The transmitter’s name you entered in the DVR Name field should be checked by clicking the Check
button, otherwise the DVRNS changes will not be saved. When entering no name or a name already
registered on the DVRNS server, an error message displays.
Port
Set up Admin, Watch, Record, Audio and WebGuard port
numbers for connections to the transmitter by using the
remote programs or web browser.
Check the Use HTTPS box to enhance the security of
WebGuard pages by using the HTTPS protocol when
running the WebGuard program.
NOTE: Do NOT use the same port number for more than
one function, or else, the transmitter cannot be connected
with the remote programs.
CAUTION: When changing the port settings, you must change the port settings on remote
programs too.

Four-Channel Video Transmitter
13
Bandwidth Control
You can control the network bandwidth by limiting the
network bandwidth depending on the network traffic.
Check the Network bandwidth limit box and set the
desired maximum bandwidth.
NOTE: When limiting the network bandwidth, the frame
rate might decrease to lower than the frame rate set
during the 3.4 Video – Live Monitoring setup.
Security
IP Filtering: Check the box to use the IP filtering
function. You can allow or block connections to the
transmitter by designating IP addresses.
−Add: Click the button to add IP addresses to the Allow
List or Deny List to allow or block connection to the
transmitter. Selecting the Host option allows you to add
one IP address at a time. Selecting the Group option
allows you to add continuous IP address numbers in one
action by designating a range of IP addresses to add.
−Remove, Remove All: Click the button to remove the
selected IP address or all IP addresses from Allow List
or Deny List.
SSL: Check the box to use the SSL function. You can enhance the security of data transmitted to
remote systems by using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol. When using the SSL function,
the transmitter cannot be connected with a remote program or a network keyboard which does not
support the SSL function.
NOTES:
If you want to use the time synchronization, DVRNS and Email sending functions, the connection of
the IP addresses of the time server, DVRNS server and the SMTP server must be allowed when you
set up the IP filtering function. Any connection to the transmitter from the IP address in Deny List
will NOT be allowed.
Using the SSL function might cause system congestion in the remote system depending on the security
level.
