DV-IP Server Installing the DV-IP Server This procedure shows the sixteen camera input version. Step 1 Connecting Video The DV-IP Server supports up to 8, 12 or 16 connected Video Inputs (dependant on model) via the 75Ω BNC connectors. Connect cameras to the video inputs, starting from input 1. All variants have two rows of connectors providing video input and loop-through support.
DV-IP Server Step 2 Monitor The DV-IP Server supports a main monitor via BNC ‘A’ and a spot monitor via BNC ‘B’. Step 3 Connecting Audio The DV-IP Server supports two channels of bi-directional audio, accessible through NetVu ObserVer. Connect the audio equipment to the phono sockets AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT. The audio channel defaults to record camera 1.
DV-IP Server Step 4 Connecting to the Network The DV-IP Server supports a 10/100Mbps auto-detecting network port. Use a CAT5 cable to connect the unit to the network. By default the unit is configured for DHCP i.e. the unit is automatically allocated an IP address from a network DHCP server. DHCP works by assigning an IP address at initial connection to the network. It is possible however that this IP address can change without notification i.e. following power failure.
DV-IP Server Step 5 Relays The DV-IP Server supports up to four 24V 200mA relays. Relay Connector Pins Connection 1 / 6 Relay 1 signal 2 / 7 Relay 2 signal 3 / 8 Relay 3 signal 4 / 9 Relay 4 signal Step 6 Alarms The DV-IP Server supports 20 normally open/closed tamper proof alarm inputs, or one Global keyswitch input with camera specific inputs configurable as entry/exit alarms. The alarms support tamper proof detection using 1k in line and 5K end of line resistance.
DV-IP Server End Of Line Circuitry The following describes the EOL tamper alarms circuitry needed when EOL has been configured. There should be two resistive values within the tamper alarm circuitry. These must be located inside the alarm device (furthest point from the unit). The alarm state could be Normally Open or Normally Closed, however the tamper states are the same for both settings. Open, the resistive value is 6.8K ohms (1K + 5.6K).
Serial ports have two main uses: 1. Note: Connecting twisted pair telemetry for PTZ cameras. 2. Providing text data recorded with the video e.g. Point of Sale. Telemetry cameras should be connected to Serial 3 and 4. Text data can be retrieved from any serial port. RS232 DV-IP Server Step 7 Connecting Serial Ports RS485 Note: Refer to Appendix A for further guidance on Serial Port pin allocation for Telemetry cameras.
