1Overview
Planck Vision Systems' dual-vision thermal network camera (TNC Series) can simultaneously record visible and
thermal images while collecting characteristic temperature information from the scene. It can be used in indoor
and outdoor environments for asset monitoring, intelligent security, and other applications. 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. SDK development kits are available to facilitate secondary development and
integration of Planck Vision Systems cameras with third-party platforms. The TNC series supports RTSP, RTP, TCP,
UDP, ONVIF and other general protocols, such as MODBUS to upload data to the client platform.
2Camera Specifications
Table 3-1 provides a list of features that are common to all cameras in the TNC Series. Planck Vision systems’
TNC10 cameras are an economical choice for a wide range of applications. The TNC200 cameras are built to

5Initial 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 (192.168.1.19 by default) and the PC's IP address are in 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.
•Step 3: When connecting to the camera for the first time, enter the default user name: 888888 and
password: 888888 and click "OK" (Figure 5-1).
•Step 4: The first time the Web Interface is used, the video preview may not work. To remedy, download
and install the required video file from the link provided in the header bar of the web interface.
•Step 5: 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.

6Communication Protocols
The Planck Vision Systems TNC Series supports RTSP, RTP, TCP, UDP, ONVIF and other general protocols, such as
MODBUS data transfer. RTSP and ONVIF protocols are commonly used for cameras connected to Network Video
Recorders (NVR). Select illustrations for testing these protocols are provided in the following sections.
6.1 RTSP instructions
The RTSP protocol can be tested with VLC media player. (Note: When using the vlc-3.0.12-win64.exe, you will
experience a delay in the video stream caused by the player. The video will not be delayed when connecting to an
NVR system.) The rtsp address of the camera is:
TNC10 streams
Visible main stream: rtsp://192.168.1.19:354/0/888888:888888/main
Visible sub stream: rtsp://192.168.1.19:354/0/888888:888888/sub
Thermal main stream: rtsp://192.168.1.19:354/1/888888:888888/main
Thermal sub stream: rtsp://192.168.1.19:354/1/888888:888888/sub
TNC200 streams
Visible main stream: rtsp://192.168.1.19:554/0/888888:888888/main
Visible sub stream: rtsp://192.168.1.19:554/0/888888:888888/sub
Thermal main stream: rtsp://192.168.1.19:554/1/888888:888888/main
Thermal sub stream: rtsp://192.168.1.19:554/1/888888:888888/sub
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 user name (admin) and password (******) 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).
