Chapter 2 Basic Setup 2 This Chapter provides details of installing and configuring the IVS-100. System Requirements • To use the LAN interface, a standard 10/100BaseT hub or switch and network cable is required.
Installation 1. Attach video signal source to the IVS-100 To use Video Server, it is required to supply video signal to this device. Typical, user may utilize standard camera, doom camera, bullet camera, PT camera, Speed doom camera, or others as the video source. Connect the BNC terminal of camera securely to IVS-100’s video input and make sure to power on the external camera first. IVS-100 Installation 2.
5. Check the LEDs When powering on machine, the status LED will turn green. It means the system is booting up successfully. Furthermore, if you have a proper network connection, and access to the IVS-100, the 10/100M LAN LED will flash orange 6. Connect the RS485 interface When users would like to apply a camera with Pan / Tilt function, they usually need to connect their communication port (for camera control) through RS485.
Setup Initial setup can be performed either from the web browser or using the supplied Windows-based camera utilities. This program can locate the IVS-100 even if its IP address is invalid for your network. You can then configure the IVS-100 with appropriate TCP/IP settings for your LAN. Subsequent administration can be performed with your Web browser, as explained in Chapter 3 - Web-based Administration.
• After modifications, you may now connect IVS-100 via web browser.
Chapter 3 Advanced Viewing Setup 3 This Chapter provides information about the optional settings and features for viewing video via the IVS-100. This Chapter is for Administrators only. Introduction After finishing the network setup, the IVS-100 can immediately be used by all users on your LAN.
Camera setting 3. Make the required adjustments, as explained below, and save your changes. Video Settings Resolution Select the desired video resolution. The default resolution is set to 320*240. Available resolution: ‧176x144‧320x240‧352x288 ‧ 640x480 Image Quality Select the desired image quality. The default Image Quality is set to Standard.
Controlling User Access to the Video Stream By default, only system administrators can connect to the IVS-100 and view live Video. If desired, you may apply the access privileges to known users, by requiring each user to login to the IVS-100 with their individual username and password. To Enable this feature: 1. Connect to the Web-based interface of the IVS-100. (Please check related chapters for details.) 2. In machine Administration menu, select User. 3.
Making Video available from the Internet If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and Broadband modem, you can make the IVS-100 available via the Internet. IVS-100 Setup The IVS-100 configuration does NOT have be changed, unless: • You wish to change the port number from the default value (1024). • You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the IVS-100. Second HTTP Port Configuration Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection. DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN using a domain name, rather than an IP address. To use DDNS: 1. Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider. You can then apply for, and be allocated, a Domain Name. 2. Enter and save the correct DDNS settings on the DDNS Setting screen in the Network setting menu. 3.
L Hint The "Port" for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry above is the "Second Port" number specified on the Network screen of the IVS-100. Viewing via the Internet Clients (viewers) will need a broadband connection; dial-up connections are NOT recommended. Using your Web Browser If using your Web browser, you need to know the address of IVS-100 (either the Internet IP address or the Domain name) and the correct communication port number.
You can then select IVS-100 in IVS-100s list on the main screen, and click OK to establish a connection and view live video. Please check respective chapter for further details of viewing Video using either the Windows Viewing/Recording utility or Web Browser.
