SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
NUUO Metadata plugins enable users to build integrated solutions with 3rd
party devices, currently including Access Control, License Plate
Recognition and Point of Sale Solutions. Please contact your local
distributor or sales service for the latest list of integrated solutions from
various suppliers.
Access Control
NUUO Main Console accepts feeds from Access Control servers via
Ethernet. You may configure several doors or entrances under each
Access Control Source. Filtered info will be displayed on chosen
channels, for example ID numbers or names of personnel upon each
entry or exit.
License Plate Recognition
NUUO Main Console also accepts feeds from License Plate Recognition
Systems via Ethernet. Several lanes may be configured under each LPR
Source. Filtered info will be displayed on chosen channels, including
license plate numbers or other additional information.
Point of Sale
NUUO POS provides a platform to display financial transaction data upon
video surveillance channels. The architecture is as below; POS
transaction data flows to NVR by Ethernet. Each Cash Register with an
external receipt printer is connected by DB9 cable. The transaction
information delivered in R232 format can be converted to Ethernet
through SCB-C31A POS data capture convertor. Alternatively, Cash
Registers that support TCP/IP or COM port output can connect directly to
the system without the SCB-C31A box.

SCB-C31A POS data capture convertor
To connect Cash Register, Printer, and SCB-C31A POS data capture
convertor together, please follow below steps:
Step 1: Please refer the user manual to setup Cash Register and printer.
Step 2: Using a “Y-shape” DB-9 cable, one DB-9 female connect to
POS system and one DB-9 male connect to the receipt printer
Y-shape (provided by Printer vendor).
Step 3: Using another DB-9 female connect to SCB-C31A POS Data
Capture R232/Ethernet convertor with Null modem.
Note: There are two kinds of serial cable: Straight pass-through
and Null-Modem. The connection between SCB C31A POS
Data capture box and Y-cable must be null modem (in
package).
Step 4: Check the system switch of the SCB-C31A POS is switch to OFF,
OFF position.
