will be a risk of permanent eye damage. Precautions should be taken to prevent exposure to
optical radiation when the unit is removed from its enclosure or when the fiber is disconnected
from the unit. The optical radiation is invisible to the eye.
Use of controls or adjustments or procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
The installer is responsible for ensuring that the label depicted below (background: yellow;
border and text: black) is present in the restricted locations where this equipment is installed.
EMC
Warning: Operation of this equipment in a residential environment could cause radio
interference.
This device has been tested and found to meet the CE regulations relating to EMC and
complies with the limits for a Class A device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
interference to radio communications in any installation. The equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy; improper use or special circumstances may cause
interference to other equipment or a performance decrease due to interference radiated by
other equipment. In such cases, the user will have to take appropriate measures to reduce
such interactions between this and other equipment.
Note that the warning above does not apply to TKH Security products which comply with the
limits for a Class B device. For product-specific details, refer to the EU Declaration of
Conformity.
Any interruption of the shielding inside or outside the equipment could make the equipment
more prone to fail EMC requirements.
Safety and compliance
10

To ensure EMC compliance of the equipment, use shielded cables for all signal cables including
Ethernet, such as CAT5E SF/UTP or better, as defined in ISO IEC 11801. For power cables,
unshielded three wire cable (2p + PE) is acceptable Ensure that all electrically connected
components are carefully earthed and protected against surges (high voltage transients
caused by switching or lightning).
ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. Proper
precautions should be taken against ESD when opening the equipment.
Care and maintenance
The unit will normally need no maintenance. To keep it operating reliably:
● Prevent dust from collecting on the unit.
● Do not expose the equipment to moisture.
RoHS
Global concerns over the health and environmental risks associated with the
use of certain environmentally-sensitive materials in electronic products have
led the European Union (EU) to enact the Directive on the Restriction of the
use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) (2011/65/EU). TKH Security
offers products that comply with the EU’s RoHS Directive.
Product disposal
The unit contains valuable materials which qualify for recycling. In the
interest of protecting the natural environment, properly recycling the unit at
the end of its service life is imperative.
When processing the printed circuit board, dismantling the lithium battery
calls for special attention. This kind of battery, a button cell type, contains so
little lithium, that it will never be classified as reactive hazardous waste. It is
safe for normal disposal, as required for batteries by your local authority.

3.3 Description
The S620 E combines H.264 video encoding with MPEG-4 or MJPEG. It offers an open solution
for IP video CCTV applications. The video server features dual-streaming H.264 with dual-
streaming MPEG-4 or MJPEG, low bandwidth, low latency, edge recording, and interoperability
with most other systems.
Quad streaming
The S620 E is capable of streaming 2x H.264 at full frame rate. It can also stream 2x MPEG-4
or MJPEG simultaneously. Each stream is optimised for its purpose: high-quality H.264 for live
viewing, low-bandwidth MPEG-4 for storage, or easy-to-decode MJPEG for web applications
and remote devices.
Picture enhancement
Almost every analogue camera offers an interlaced signal (PAL or NTSC). On digital computer
monitors, this causes severe artefacts, such as comb edges on moving objects. To remove
these artefacts the video signal has to be deinterlaced. This can be done in the monitor, but
also at the beginning – at the encoder side. The S620 E is fitted with a motion adaptive
deinterlacer (M.A.D.). TKH Security's M.A.D removes the interlacing artefacts on the moving
objects only to preserve the vertical resolution of the image. In addition, the deinterlaced
image is much easier to encode, saving bits for streaming and storage.
Edge recording
The S620 E offers edge recording when the connection with the NVR is lost. The recorded
images are available as AVI and can easily be downloaded from the device. The recordings are
stored on a single µSDHC card with a maximum capacity of 32 GB.
ONVIF and Open Streaming Architecture (OSA)
The S620 E supports both the international ONVIF standard and TKH Security OSA for remote
control, configuration, video switching, and streaming. The S620 E has been approved for
ONVIF Profile S for streaming, PTZ, and I/O. OSA is a comprehensive HTTP RTSP based API,
which gives access (next to ONVIF) to all controls and makes full integration easy.
Image quality monitor and tampering alarm
When the image from the camera becomes too poor, an image quality alert is raised. The
built-in Image Quality Monitor continuously monitors the camera image on contrast, exposure,
sharpness, and noise. In addition, the built-in Tamper Detector monitors changes in the
camera’s position or field of view. The instant a camera’s position is changed a tamper detect
alert is raised.
Audio, data, and I/O contacts
By combining audio, programmable I/O contacts, and data with streaming video, the S620 E
provides all the interfaces necessary for any IP CCTV application. On the encoder module, you
will find two bidirectional audio channels (lip-synchronised), two digital inputs and outputs,
and two serial data ports (RS-232 and RS-422/482). The RS-422/485 data port is combined
with a built-in PTZ controller supporting a number of PTZ protocols.
Fiber and EoC options
The S620 E is available with an optional, pluggable SFP slot. This offers unparalleled flexibility
in connectivity. With fiber SFPs you can connect over multimode or single-mode optical fiber
cable and cover distances from 100 m to 120 km or more. To connect over (existing) coax,
you can use TKH Security's ECO-plug for Ethernet over Coax.

FTP push
Upon an event, the S620 E can push a JPG image to one or two FTP servers. The event can be
triggered externally by VMD, the Image Monitor, or Tamper Detect. The S620 E can also
periodically upload images to the remote server(s).
Web interface
Configuration, management, and live viewing are simplified by the access-controlled web
interface. Full in-band control is available through Device Manager and the HTTP API. The
S620 E is field-upgradeable.

4 Install the unit
This chapter describes how to install your S620 E unit and connect power, network, and signal
cables.
In This Chapter
4.1 Power the unit...................................................................................................... 16
4.2 Connect cables..................................................................................................... 16
4.3 Startup................................................................................................................17
4.4 Connector pin assignments.....................................................................................17
4.5 Update device definitions....................................................................................... 18
4.1 Power the unit
To power a rack-mount unit
1 Insert the S620 E into an MC 10 or MC 11 power supply cabinet.
2 Plug the cabinet power cord into a grounded mains socket.
To power a stand-alone unit
A stand-alone (/SA) S620 E requires an external power supply adapter (12 Vdc).
1 Connect the power adapter to the power connector on the metal SA housing.
2 Plug the power adapter into a grounded mains socket.
4.2 Connect cables
Use the appropriate connectors on the S620 E front panel to connect the network and signal
cables.
To connect the S620 E to your 100/10Mbit IP/Ethernet network
● Plug the network cable into the RJ-45 Ethernet socket on the front panel.
Important: Use appropriate cabling (Cat 5 or Cat 6) for network links.
To connect a video source
● Connect the coaxial cable from your video source (a camera, for example) to the video
input BNC connector on the front panel.
To connect audio, data, and/or contact closure sources/destinations
● Plug the cables carrying audio, data, and/or contact closure signals into the corresponding
RJ-45 sockets on the S620 E front panel.
16

Important: Through-connecting the signal ground lines of RS-data interfaces is mandatory,
as is proper grounding. See also the section on pin assignments later in this chapter.
4.3 Startup
After startup, the DC LED will light and the network indicator lights go through an on/off
sequence.
The power DC LED should always be lit. The link and No Video lights eventually glow upon
establishing of a good network link and the absence of an input video signal, respectively.
The sync LED displays as described in the Front Panel section.
Important: Before you can make any signal connection, you must assign at least a valid IP
address (the unit's identity for the network) and a subnet mask to the unit. The Connect the
unit chapter explains how to do this.
4.4 Connector pin assignments
Modular socket pin assignments
The modular socket pin assignments are such that similar sockets of different modules may be
connected back to back with reversed cable (RS-232 interfaces excepted). See the figure
below for the socket pin numbering convention used. For 2-wire RS-485 links, I/O is through
pins 1 and 2 of socket 3.
Pin assignments of the three modular sockets. For 2-wire RS-485 use pins 1 and 2 of socket 3.

Note: Polarity indications for RS-422/485 are based on a convention used by BT, which may
conflict with other implementations. Pelco systems, for example, use an implementation for
which you have to connect TKH Security (+) to Pelco (-) and vice versa.

can download EMX updates and MX Plug-in updates at www.tkhsecurity.com/support-files.
Install the EMX update first if you are performing both update types.
Note: There is no need to install these updates if you do not use MX applications.
●EMX updates
Install the EMX update. The Embedded MX network driver will be updated with the latest
changes.
●MX Plug-in updates
The updater will update the shared copy of device definitions used by Ethernet-based MX
applications. An existing installation of the SNM Configuration and Service Tool will also be
updated.

5 Connect the unit
With your S620 E installed, the next step is to establish an IP connection and set up video and
(if applicable) other signal links. This chapter describes how you can change the factory-set IP
address and subnet mask of the S620 E to make them compatible with the network segment
in which the unit will be used. It also discusses how to configure signal streaming.
In This Chapter
5.1 Establish a network connection............................................................................... 19
5.2 Establish video and other signal connections.............................................................21
5.1 Establish a network connection
The webpages of the S620 E provide a convenient way of accessing its settings. You can log
on to the web interface of the S620 E from a PC which is on the same subnet as the unit.
Follow the steps below to open communication with the S620 E and configure its network
settings.
Step 1: Set the network adapter of the PC to the factory-set subnet of the S620 E
and then connect the two devices to the network.
Step 2: Access the unit from a web browser or other tool installed on the PC.
Step 3: Set the IP address and subnet mask of the S620 E to the subnet that it is
going to be used in and reboot the unit.
To address the unit from the same PC again, configure the network adapter of the PC once
more to assign the PC to the same subnet as the unit.
The factory-set IP address of the S620 E is in the 10.x.x.x range. You will find it printed on a
sticker on the unit.
S620 E product sticker
Note: This is the address the unit reverts to if you issue a "Reset to factory settings; incl.
network settings" command and reboot the unit (see chapter Device Management).
19

Step 1: Set the PC to the factory-set subnet of the unit
To configure the network adapter on the PC
1 In Control Panel, open Network and Sharing Center.
2 Select the connection to be configured, and then click Properties.
3 On the items list, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
4 Click Properties.
5 In the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties dialog box, click Use the
following IP address.
6 Enter an IP address which assigns your PC to the same subnet as the S620 E - that is,
within the 10.x.x.x range. Use 255.0.0.0 as a subnet mask.
Important: To prevent conflicts, be sure to choose a unique IP address. No two
devices on a network can have the same IP address.
7 To apply the new settings, click OK.
Setting the IP settings of the PC to the factory-set IP settings of the unit
At this point, connect your PC to the S620 E. You can connect them directly using a crossover
cable, or connect both to a switch.
Step 2: Access the unit
Using a standard web browser you can now log on to the web server of the S620 E.
Step 3: Change the network settings of the unit
The Network page enables you to make the network addressing of the unit compatible with
the network it will be added to. You can set a fixed IP address or have the IP address assigned
by a DHCP server. In the latter case, open the Advanced Settings and enable DHCP. Do not
forget to save and reboot the unit after changing the settings.
