Minimizing EMI and RFI
When wires run for a significant distance in an electromagnetic field, electromagnetic interference (EMI)
can occur .Strong EMI (e.g. lightning or radio transmitters) can destroy the units and can pose an electrical
hazard by conducting power through lines and into the system. Poor quality or worn wiring can result in
radio frequency interference (RFI). To minimize the effects of EMI and RFI, consult your reseller.
Site Preparation
There are several requirements that should be properly addressed prior to installation at the site. The
following specifications are requirements for proper installation and operation of the unit:
Ambient Environment Conditions: Avoid positioning the unit near heaters or heating system
outputs. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Use proper maintenance to ensure that the unit is free
from dust, dirt, smoke, particles, chemicals, smoke, water or water condensation, and exposure to
EMI.
Accessibility: The location used should allow easy access to unit connections and cables.
Safety: Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety hazards,
such as from tripping, wire fraying, overheating, etc. Ensure that nothing rests on the unit’s cables
or power cords.
Ample Air Circulation: Leave enough space around the unit to allow free air circulation.
Cabling Considerations: Units should be placed in locations that are optimal for the type
of video cabling used between the unit and the cameras and external devices. Using a
cable longer than the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal video signal may result in
degradation of color and video parameters.
Physical Security:The unit provides threat detection for physical security systems. In order to
ensure that the unit cannot be disabled or tampered with, the system should be installed with
security measures regarding physical access by trusted and un-trusted parties.
Network Security:The unit transmits over IP to security personnel for video surveillance. Proper
network security measures should be in place to assure networks remain operating and free from
malicious interference. The unit is intended for installation on the backbone of a trusted network.
Electrostatic Safeguards:The unit as well as other equipment connected to it (relay outputs,
alarm inputs, racks, carpeting, etc.) shall be properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge.
The physical installation of the unit is the first phase of making the unit operational in a security plan. The
goal is to physically place the unit, connect it to other devices in the system, and to establish network
connectivity. When finished with the physical installation, refer to the HTML Edition Units User’s Guide to
complete the second phase of installation, which is the setup and configuration of the unit.

Introduction

2. Introduction
The trk-101 is a self-contained video analytic encoder that monitors the video input from a camera. The
unit provides alarms when it automatically detects specific events, such as region entrance, fence
trespassing, tripwire crossover, which trigger an automatic notification. You can define the events and
location in the video of the image that can be detected with user-customizable rules and positioning
criteria.
Figure 1: trk-101 Unit
In addition to its analytic capabilities, the unit also serves as a standard video encoder that digitizes the
input video to a standards-compliant, compressed IP video stream. It simultaneously provides video output
in two formats: analog video and compressed digital video over IP. On-screen overlays indicate where the
detection has occurred on the video output.

safety should always be observed.
3.2.3 Using the DNA Utility to Connect the Unit to the Network
By default, the unit is shipped with the factory default IP address 192.168.123.10.
The DVTEL Network Assistant (DNA) utility is used to discover the unit on the network and to configure it.
DNA provides a central location for listing all the DVTEL models accessible over the network. Once listed,
each camera or encoder can be right-clicked to access and change the network settings. If the network
settings are changed for some reason, a new search will relist the units. The units may then be configured
via the web interface.
If DVTEL Latitude is being used, configure the unit with a static IP address rather than with DHCP. This
ensures that the IP address will not automatically change in the future and interfere with configurations
and communication.
DNA has a simple user interface and does not require any installation. The software is provided as a single,
standalone executable that runs on any PC.
Caution:
Before connecting the unit to the network, set the unit IP address according to your
specific network requirements to avoid address conflicts. Refer to the instructions in this
section on how to change the unit’s IP addresses.
If your network uses firewalls, you must configure them to support communication among the units and
computers running the Internet browser used to connect to the trk-101 web interface. After connecting the
unit to the network, check that the unit can be found on the network as is described below.
To connect a unit to the network
1. Connect a PC/laptop directly to the unit using a network cable connected to the Ethernet port
located on the front panel of the unit. See Figure 3: trk-101 Power Connection Panel (page 2)
2. Change the IP address according to your specific requirements. See the following section.
3. Disconnect the unit from your PC/laptop.
4. Connect the unit to the system network as follows:
Connect the network cable to the Ethernet port located on the front panel of the unit. See
Figure 3: trk-101 Power Connection Panel (page 2).
