1 Overview
Planck Vision Systems' dual-vision thermal network cameras (TNC Series) can simultaneously record visible and
thermal images while collecting characteristic temperature information from the scene. These cameras are
designed for asset monitoring in indoor and outdoor environments, provided area security and other smart
functions. Through an IP network, the TNC Series transmits collected data to PC clients or web browsers (Chrome)
for real time surveillance and alarm condition monitoring. A JSON restful API Is available to facilitate secondary
development and integration of Planck Vision Systems cameras with third-party platforms. The TNC series supports
RTSP, RTP, TCP, FTP and other general protocols, such as ONVIF and MODBUS to make integration easy.
2 Camera Specifications
Table 2-1 provides a list of features that are common to all cameras in the TNC Series. Planck Vision systems’
TNC20 cameras are an economical choice for a wide range of applications. TNC100 is a mid-resolution camera
designed for indoor and outdoor applications. The TNC200 performance cameras are built to customers
specifications.

5 Initial Setup
 Step 1: After connecting camera power and the network ports between the camera and the computer,
please make sure that the camera IP address and the PC's IP address are on the same network segment.
 Step 2: Open the Chrome browser, enter the device IP address in the address bar, and press [Enter] key.
When logging on with the browser interface for the first time, use the camera's default IP address
(192.168.1.19 by default).
 Step 3: When connecting to the camera for the first time, enter the default username: 888888 and
password: 888888 and click "OK" (Figure 5-1).
 Step 4: The main page of the web interface is shown in Figure 5-2. This interface can be used to configure
the camera settings, preview video streams, and view all logged events.

6 Communication Protocols
The Planck Vision Systems TNC Series cameras support RTSP, RTP, TCP, FTP and other general protocols, such as
MODBUS and ONVIF data transfer. RTSP and ONVIF protocols are commonly used for cameras connected to
Network Video Recorders (NVR). Selected illustrations for testing these protocols are provided in the following
sections.
6.1 RTSP instructions
The RTSP protocol can be tested with the VLC media player. The rtsp addresses of the camera are:
Visible main-stream: rtsp://admin:123456@192.168.2.19:554/0/main
Visible sub-stream: rtsp://admin:123456@192.168.2.19:554/0/sub
Thermal main-stream: rtsp://admin:123456@192.168.2.19:554/1/main
Thermal sub-stream: rtsp://admin:123456@192.168.2.19:554/1/sub
Note: the user/password fields should be modified if the Onvif/RTSP user management credentials have been
changed.
The following steps may be used to test the RTSP protocol using the VLC media player:
1. Install the VLC media player.
2. After installation is complete, open the media player and refer to Figure 6-1.
3. Click "Media"-"Open network streaming"-"Enter the network URL (that is, the above rtsp address)"-click
"Play", wait for about 30 seconds. A real-time video stream will appear.

6.2 ONVIF instructions
The open source ONVIF Device Manager tool (version: odm-v2.2.250) can be used to test the ONVIF protocol. The
following steps are taken for this test:
1. Install and run the Onvif device manager (odm-v2.2.250)
2. The camera should automatically appear in the Device list (Figure 6-2)
3. Enter the login username (admin) and password (123456) of your camera and click "Log in"
4. Select your "IP-Camera" then click "Live video" under NVT, corresponding to the visible (V_SRC_000) or
the thermal (V_SRC_001) video stream (Figure 6-3).
