3. System Connections
NCAM-531BIR IP Cameras can be connected in either 1 to 1 connection where one NCAM-531BIR is
connected one PC client or a decoder system or 1 to many connections where one NCAM-531BIR can be
connected several PCs and decoder systems.
Topo ogy
Generally, NCAM-531BIR and PC or a decoder is connected in 1-to-1 mode or 1-to many configuration.
 1:1 Connection .
One NCAM-531BIR 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 in either direction.

or
or
or
 1:N Connection .
In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote central locations. Although up to 64 PCs
or decoders can be connected to one NCAM-531BIR, in the real network environment, network
bandwidth can limit the maximum connections. Functionally, the central monitoring system (CMS)
software provided can replace the decoder.
Mu ticast Mode
If the network supports multicasting, a large number of decoders can be used to receive video effectively
from a NCAM-531BIR using a single streaming of video and audio. However, multicast mode is possible
only when network environment supports multicast.
Re ay
Video and audio data can be retransmitted from a center to another center. The arrangement is useful
when the network bandwidth to the site is limited while there are more than one center want to monitor
the site.

the system
Connecting Network
1. Plug network cable to Ethernet port (RJ-45 network port).
Connecting Video
1. To display video through the composite video output, connect to a monitor using BNC coaxial
cable
2. Set Enab e Preview option “ON” on the Video tab of web page.
(Please refer to the Video Configuration part)
 In case that video transmission distance is long, video data may not be transmitted due to a
reduction in the video signal. In order to prevent it, install a repeater in the middle.
Connecting Audio
Audio is full-duplex. It is possible to set the mode as Tx-only, Rx-only or Tx-Rx.
1. Connect audio input and output ports to audio devices accordingly.
2. The Audio signal required is line level, so an audio equipment with an amp, mixer or other amplifier
should be used.
Connecting Sensor and A arm
 Connect sensor and alarm devices to corresponding terminals accordingly.

A time zone is a region of the earth that has uniform standard time, usually referred to as the oca
time. By convention, time zones compute their local time as an offset from UTC (Coordinated
Universal Time). In casual use, GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) can be considered equivalent to UTC.
Local time is UTC plus the current time zone offset for the considered location
The Network Time Protoco (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems
over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. It is designed particularly to resist the effects
of variable latency by using a jitter buffer.
