System Connections
IP camera can be connected in either 1 to 1 connection where one camera is connected to one PC client or a
decoder system or 1 to many connections where one system can be connected to several PCs and decoder
systems. (video server can work as a video decoder which takes the data from a video server or IP camera,
decodes and outputs analogvideo.)
Topology
Generally, IP camera and PC or a decoder is connected in 1-to-1 mode or 1-to many conguration.
l1:1 Connection .
One camera is installed at a site where video images are transmitted. A PC or a decoder is installed at a
central location to receive and view the video images on an analog monitor. Audio and serial data are
transferred ineither direction.
l1:N Connection .

8/55
In this conguration, a site can be monitored from many remote central locations. Maximum connections
would be limited by network bandwidth connection. Functionally, the VMS (Video Management System)
software provided can replacethe decoder.
Multicast Mode
If the network supports multicasting, a large number of decoders can be used to receive video eectivelyfrom
a camera using a single streaming of video and audio. However, multicast mode is possible only when
network environment supports multicast.
Relay
Video and audio data can be retransmitted from a center to another center. The arrangement is useful when
the network bandwidthtothe site is limited whilethereare more than one center want tomonitor the site.
VMS ( Video Management System)
VMS (Video Management System) is a Window-based remotemonitoring program in order tomonitor or
control video, audio, and events in real timefrom several IPcamerasor video servers. Please referto the
VMS User Manual for more in detail.

2. Installation
Connecting Network (LAN)
lConnect the power adaptor toIPcamera
lConnect network cable to ethernet port
lTo display video through composite port, afterconnecting each port to a monitor, set preview option “ON”
on the web-viewer page.
Connecting Audio
Audioisfull-duplex. Itis possibleto set the mode asTx-only, Rx-onlyorTx-Rx.
lConnect audio input and output ports to audio devicesaccordingly.
lThe Audio signal required is line level, so audio equipment with an amp, mixer or other amplier should
be used.
Connecting Serial Ports
RS-485 of IP camera can be connected to external equipment such as PT receiver etc. PC client can send PT
commandsto the external equipment via the serial port.
When a decoder system instead of PC clientis connected toIPcamera, the serial port and that of the decoder
system works in pass-through mode.That is, data from one port is delivered tothe other port,viceversa
Connecting Sensor andAlarm
Connect sensor and alarm devices to corresponding terminals accordingly.
Connecting Power
After conrming the power source, connect power adaptor and connect the 12VDC connector to the IP
camera.

Check if it Works
Once the power is supplied to the IP camera, it will start booting. The IP camera will boot up to an operating
mode after approximately 40-60 seconds. The green LED on the Ethernet port will ash indicating the IP
cameraisready.
Software provided on the disc called True Manager allows you to check the IP address and other network
details of the IP camera. Please refer to the True Manager manual for instructions on how to nd the IP
address of the IP camera and if required changingit.

3. System Operation
Remote Video Monitoring
There are two ways to monitor video when the center system and IP camera are connected. In order for a
proper operation, an IP address must be set accordingly. Please refer to True Manager Manual enclosed
with product forfurther details.
Default ID : admin Default Password : 1234
.
Video Monitoring using Internet Explorer
Open Internet Explorer and enter camera’s IP address. The system will ask for conrmation to install Active-X
control. Once authorized, theInternet Explorer will start to display video images from camera as shown below.
Default IP Address : http://192.168.10.100
