SECTION 10 - Applications and Advanced Use

There are several connection methods available as detailed below, each more suited to certain

applications and configurations.

Connecting One Camera to One Computer (Point-to-Point - Wired)

This is applicable to the EPVA. A data connection is established directly between the camera and

the network device inside or attached to the computer.

The computer must have either a spare network socket or a USB to network adaptor. If the

computer is already networked, a second adaptor or card may be fitted instead of swapping wires

and settings.

A suitable streaming video player must also be installed on the computer. e2v have supplied a

player by Ateme on the CD, but other players are available. See FAQ 10 for a discussion of the

merits of the various alternative players such as Apple Quicktime and VLC.

To make a point-to-point connection, the computer must be set to the same network subnet as the

camera. By default, the camera is set to IP address 10.133.1.20, so the computer must be

assigned an IP address in the range 10.133.1.x. Typically, this would be 10.133.1.2. These

settings have been chosen to avoid any conflicts with the wireless system and should avoid most

other network systems in use.

Note that normally the IP address is set to ‘Obtain IP address automatically’ but this will not work,

as there is no automatic address allocation in point-to-point systems. If for any reason a specific

computer address is needed, change the camera address instead as detailed in FAQ 24.
