System Connections
NCAM-370 systems can be connected in either 1-to-1 ashion where a server is connected a PC client or a decoder
system or 1-to-multiple ashion where a server can be simultaneously connected to many PC and many decoder
systems.


 Topology
Generally, the NCAM-370 and the PC & decoder are connected in 1-to-1 mode or 1-to-multiple connection is also
supported.
 1:1 Connection (Unidirectional Transmission).
Mostly used con iguration is 1 to 1 connection. A NCAM-370 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 data are trans erred in either direction.
 1:N Connection (Unidirectional Transmission).
In this con iguration, a site can be monitored at many remote center locations. Although up to 64 PCs or
decoders can be connected to on NCAM-370, in the real network environment, network bandwidth can limit
the maximum connections.
Functionally, the CMS (Central Monitoring System) so tware can replace the decoder.

 Multicast Mode
Within the network that supports multicasting, a large number o decoders can be used to receive video e ectively
rom a NCAM-370 using a single streaming o video and audio.
 Relaying
In this arrangement, video and audio can be retransmitted rom a center to another center. The
arrangement is use ul when the network bandwidth to the site is limited while there is more than one center
wanting to monitor the site.
 CMS(Central Monitoring System)
CMS (Central Monitoring System) is a Windows based remote monitoring program to access multiple IP-
severs or real-time monitoring or control o the encoders and connected cameras. Please re er to CMS

Remote Video Monitoring
There are two ways to view video between the site and center system. In order or a proper operation, an IP address
must be set accordingly and please re er to True Manager in C apter 3 or Remote Setting in C apter 4 or a
urther details.

 Video Monitoring wit Decoder System
Once the IP address is set in the remote IP address section o the decoder, the decoder system will connect to the
NCAM-370 and start receiving the video images. Normally, a monitor connected to the decoder will display video
images.
 Video Monitoring using Internet Explorer
I an encoder’s IP address is entered on the Internet Explorer, the system will ask or con irmation to install Active-X
control. Once authorized, the Internet Explorer will start to display video images rom the encoder as shown below.
