1. Introduction
1.1 Gentral:
Video modem «OKO», «OKO-M» is a compact device designed to digitize color of B/W photos
and video information obtained from 1-4 CCTV cameras and real time transmission using the following
channels:
-Municipal public phone network over any distances;
-With 3-wire cable up to 100 m;
-With 4-wire twisted-pair cable up to 1200 m (Baud Rate 115 K) up to 10 km with slower rate
(Baud Rate down to 9600) using set of adaptors RS232 –RS485;
-With GSM, GPS or radio channel and an external modem supporting СОМ port (RS232) and
the required communication channel;
-With leased (physical) 2-wire line using a pair of external modems operating over the physical
lines.
Reception is effected on PC through COM port or, when using public phone network, through a
common fax-modem. Information is displayed on the PC display by means of supplied software;
simultaneously one can view 8 selected fragments, record wholly or partially a photo and video
information on PC hard disk.
Video modem «OKO-M» has a built-in 56 K fax-modem 56 К, whereas video modem «OKO» has
only a COM port for direct connection to PC or through an external modem.
In off-line video modem does not require persistent operator’s connection. When either the built-in
motion detector or the external sensor comes into action, the video modem takes a snapshot and/or
records video clip to the buffer, followed by autodial to the user’s preset phone number.
The program supports simultaneous application up to 16 video modems, i.e. establishing several
connections (if required number of COM ports or modems connected with PC and coming to PC
phone or other lines are available).
