ISEE-EOP-MOD200
The NAPCO iSeeVideo VideoAlert.net system allows remote video internet
monitoring of residential and light commercial properties. Its unique
subscription-based account system provides the opportunity to realize
recurring revenue from typical CCTV video installations.
The iSeeVideo ISEE-VCMPT is a digital IP camera that provides remote
viewing with Pan-Tilt control over the internet using any PC, from anywhere in
the world. Using MPEG4 compression, it provides video images with a
maximum of 640 x 480 lines of resolution that can be viewed through the
iSeeVideo VideoAlert server at up to 30 frames per second. The Camera
provides (at no additional service charge) dynamic IP support through the
NAPCO iSeeVideo DNS server - every 16 seconds the Camera checks in
with its DNS server to insure that the DHCP IP address is always kept current.
The ISEE-EOP-MOD200 is an optional Ethernet-Over-Power module that
allows the transmission of video signals over the existing power lines of a
home or business. The simple Plug-n-Play installation allows the iSeeVideo
devices to connect to the G-BOX or Customer’s router by simply connecting
the devices to their respective EOP modules and then into the electrical
outlets. The modules create a powerline network ideal for the transmission of
video signals at up to 200 megabits per second. The EOP modules are fully
capable of transmitting data across the phases of typical residential
multiphase power systems.
The G-BOX (Patented) is an optional Internet Video accessory that allows
optimum performance on cable broadband service installations by
establishing a point to point connection between the camera and the PC. The
G-BOX is designed to be placed between the broadband modem and router,
and also functions as a router for cases where the customer's PC is the only
device connected to the broadband modem. The G-BOX will also function as
a switch if devices are plugged into the LAN ports. provides 4 auto-sensing
LAN ports for connection to the ISEE-VCMPT and to the customer's PC,
router or other equipment. The G-BOX functions as both a DHCP client
and server, to fit seamlessly into all typical DHCP environments. The G-
BOX also functions as a switch in cases where additional port expansion
is required.
The NAPCO VideoAlert.net server maintains VideoAlert accounts and allows
subscribers to view their ISEE-VCMPT from any personal computer or web
enabled cell phone. It is compatible with computers running the Microsoft
Windows®, Apple®and Linux®operating systems and is also compatible with
any WAP enabled cell phone or mobile video device. The server also
automatically notifies the subscriber by email upon receipt of triggered video
events and archives them for viewing at a later time. Each subscriber account
provides 50Mb of storage, allowing the archiving of about (75) 10 second
video clips (adjustable 5 sec pre-alarm and 5 sec post-alarm). The server is
designed to allow the customer to have complete control of their account in
regard to passwords, email addresses and other personal information.

Cable Modem Service Installation
The use of the optional G-BOX in Cable Broadband service applications is highly recommended to provide optimum
frame rate and resolution performance. Follow the installation and connection steps below:
NOTE: If no G-BOX is available, the Cable installation may be wired in same configuration as DSL Modem, below.
1 Power down Cable Modem and Router
2 Wire G-BOX in standard configuration as shown
(G-BOX WAN to Modem WAN)
3 Wait 15 minutes and power up Cable Modem.
4 Wait 1 minute and power up G-BOX, then Cus-
tomer’s Router.
5 Test local PC for Internet connectivity (open inter-
net browser and browse internet).
6 Go to www.VideoAlert.net and click NEW ACTIVATION to activate account.
 Some ISP providers lock onto the MAC address of the first device after the modem. Powering down the
modem for 15 minutes will force the ISP to recognize the new MAC address of the G-BOX upon power up.
DSL Broadband Modem Installation
1 Power down DSL Modem and Router.
2 Wire as shown
3 Wait 15 minutes and power up Modem.
4 Wait 1 minute and power up VIP Devices and
then Customer’s Router.
5 Go to www.VideoAlert.net and click NEW ACTIVATION to activate account.
ISP Type cannot be identified
In some commercial applications, it may not be possible to identify the type of ISP, or identify the modem or routers that may
be in front of the internet connection provided by the subscriber. In these cases, wire as shown below.
1 Connect the VIP devices directly into the network connection as shown (typically an network RJ45 jack connected to a
router) This corresponding port on the router must provide access to the internet.
2 Power up the VIP Device.
3 Go to www.VideoAlert.net and click NEW ACTIVATION to activate account.
 This configuration will work for most commercial installations. If there is no Internet connectivity, there may be an enter-
prise class router and firewall between the network jack and the outside internet connection. This connection can be com-
pleted by asking the IT professional to open this port to the outside world.
NOTE: If additional ports are required, the G-BOX may be used as a switch
1 Power down all devices to be connected to the G-
BOX
2 Connect the devices to the G-BOX LAN ports as
shown.
3 Power up all devices, wait one minute, power
down and then up again to ensure proper switch
operation.
