I. Introduction
 What is i-Rec Cam104?
The world smallest 4-channel camera style Network DVR
i-Rec Cam104 is a 4-channel camera style DVR. It is an all-in-one system with a Web server of
embedded Linux, a networking device, a CCD module and a HDD (6GB standard and
changeable). i-Rec Cam 104 only needs designated power supply and network connection in
order to operate.
DVR with a built-in HDD
i-Rec Cam104 records images into its own HDD at the maximum speed of 30 frames per second,
protecting them in the safest way. Since i-Rec Cam 104 is equipped with a file system, which is
applied for worldwide patent, it always prevents recorded data from being damaged or lost in
course of sudden power failure.
Powerful image compression
i-Rec Cam104 utilizes Wavelet that is a still image compressing algorithm and more efficient than
JPEG by 30% - 300%. In addition to this, i-Rec Cam104 is equipped with 32bit RISC CPU to
make it more efficient in image processing. Therefore the size of the compressed image is smaller
than any other DVR. i-Rec Cam104 compresses 30 frames per second and transmits 30 frames
per seconds.
Simple installation and various functions
Functional firmware of i-Rec Cam104 is saved in flash memory chip of 8MB. For this reason, its
firmware can be upgraded remotely through Internet or Intranet. i-Rec Cam104 is designed to
have a HD-15 port(RS-232 & RS-485) to connect external devices such as sensor, pan/tilt
mechanism, zoom lens, etc. All the external devices can be controlled remotely. i-Rec Cam104
also controls 4 external CCD cameras, even existing analogue CCTV cameras by connecting
them to video input ports.

2) Descriptions on DIP Switches
 OUT/IN
To configure the function of the first BNC cable port at the rear of i-Rec Cam104.
If you set the switch at position ‘OUT’, the first port can be used to transmit video signal from
i-Rec Cam104’s inner CCD module to outer displayer such as TV or computer monitor. Setting
the first DIP switch at ‘OUT’ and the second DIP switch at ‘OFF’, you can connect an outer
displayer directly to the first port with BNC cable. In this case, you cannot use external camera as
video source for Ch1 at the browser of ‘i-Rec CamViewer II’. However you can monitor a
channel on outer displayer with motion pictures sent from i-Rec Cam104’s inner CCD module. It
means that i-Rec Cam104 could not receive video signal from an external camera, connected to
the first BNC cable port, though.
If you set the switch at position ‘IN’, the first port can be used to receive video signal from
external CCD camera. Setting the first DIP switch at ‘IN’ and the second DIP switch at ‘ON’, you
can connect an external CCD camera to the first port with BNC cable. In this case, you may select
and monitor 4-channel among 5 video sources. You can choose a source out of two at
‘Configuration’ program in ‘i-Rec CamViewer II’. If you choose ‘internal’ at ‘Channel’, you can
monitor Ch1 that shows video signals from an inner CCD of i-Rec Cam104. And if you choose
‘external’ at ‘Channel’, you can monitor Ch1 that shows video signals from an external CCD
camera.
 ON/OFF
To designate video signal termination. This is for expanded usage. If you want to connect external
CCD camera to CCTV monitoring system as well as i-Rec Cam104, you can use T-type coaxial
cable jack. In this case, you should decide which one is terminal of video signal. i-Rec Cam104 is
not affected if the CCTV system is designated as terminal. However, CCTV system does be
affected if the i-Rec Cam104 is designated as terminal. CCTV monitor will show vague image if
it is not designated as terminal.
If you want to connect 4 external cameras to coaxial cable ports of i-Rec Cam104 and CCTV
system at the same time, you use T-type coaxial cable jack to i-Rec Cam104’s coaxial cable port.
In this case, you should place 4 switches of 1, 2, 3, and 4 at the position of ‘OFF’. T-type jack has
3 ports to connect coaxial cables from i-Rec Cam104, an external CCD camera, and CCTV
system.
