Before You Use
Surveillance devices may be prohibited by law in your country. Though NetworKam is not only a high
performance surveillance system but also a networked video server, ensure that the operation of such
devices are legal before installing this unit for surveillance.
It is important to carefully check the contents with the "Package Contents" section after opening the
package. Understanding the physical description can prevent damage caused by abnormal usage and
reduce most problems during installation.
Basically NetworKam is a network device and should be easy to use for those who already have basic
network knowledge. If there is a system error and it does not recover easily due to erroneous
configuration, check the section "Auxiliary buttons" to restore factory default settings and run installation
again.
NetworKam has been designed for various environments and can be used to build various applications for
general security or demonstration purposes. For standard applications, read "System configuration" to
understand all functions. To make the best usage of NetworKam, review "Advanced functions" to get
creative ideas. To those professional developers, "URL Commands of NetworKam" will be a very helpful
reference.
Those paragraphs preceding by should be fully understood and cautioned. Ignoring the warnings
may result in serious hazards.

Physical Description
Rear Panel
Ethernet 10/100 socket
Connect to Ethernet network with a UTP category 5 cable that cannot exceed 100 meters. Once the
Ethernet cable is connected without error, NetworKam will utilize Ethernet interface regardless of modem
connection.
COM port
This RS232 serial port can connect with a modem or included null modem cable to utilize dial-up
network when Ethernet is not available. If NetworKam operates with Ethernet interface, administrators
may use this port to control custom Pan-Tilt device.

General I/O terminal block
1 ÅDI+ INPUT (Max.50mA,12VDC)
2 ÅDI- INPUT
3 ÅSW_COMMON OUTPUT (short with NC at initial state)
4 ÅSW_NOPEN OUTPUT (Max. 1A, 24VDC or 0.5A, 125VAC)
5 ÅRS485 B (inverting)
6 ÅRS485 A (non-inverting)
NetworKam provides a very flexible general I/O interface to combine with the user’s security devices
such as sensors, alarms, lighting or door locks. The general I/O terminal block has six pins for device
control. These pins can be divided into two categories based on their functions, including RS485 and
digital inputs and outputs.
If the device connected to COM has an RS485 interface, wire two control lines to pin 5 and pin 6. After
switching to RS485 on the configuration page, the PT control commands will be directed through pin 5
and pin 6. If the distance from the controlled device is too far to allow accurate function, an external
power source may be used to pull high the RS485 signal.
NetworKam provides one digital input and one relay switch. Pin 1 and pin 2 can be connected to external
sensor and the state of voltage will be monitored according to the programmed scripts in configuration.
The relay switch can be used to turn on or off external devices.
