HARDWARE INSTALLATION Refer to Appendix A – Connecting PelcoNet NET104A To Different Components for diagrams that show various connections. CONNECTING VIDEO SOURCES OR DISPLAYS Up to four video sources can be connected to the NET104A. 1. To connect cameras, plug a standard coaxial cable into a BNC connector (start with video 1) on the rear of the NET104A and the other end into the camera. You can use any video source (for example, a VCR) with a composite PAL or NTSC output.
CONNECTING DATA TERMINALS The NET104A has a serial interface that can be configured on the Interface Settings configuration page for terminal control or transparent data: RS-232 or RS-485, etc. Use As Control Terminal Port For local control and configuration of the unit, you can connect a data terminal (for example, a PC running a standard terminal program) to the serial interface labeled COM on the NET104A. The 9-pin D-sub connector can be connected to a PC’s COM port.
Use As Transparent Data Port The serial interface offers a transparent serial data channel between the receiver and the transmitter. A typical application for transparent data is remote control of peripheral equipment (for example, a dome system with PTZ functions). You also can use this channel to control remotely any external device with a serial interface. The serial data is transferred in parallel to the video and audio data.
CONNECTING EXTERNAL SENSORS The unit has four alarm inputs that let you connect external signaling devices, like door contacts or motion detectors. If configured accordingly, an alarm trigger can, for example, set up an automatic connection between NET104A and the remote station. You can connect switches or contacts directly without a separate power supply. Connection INPUT 5 is a master alarm. This connection lets you activate or bar (for example, by means of a key-operated switch) all the alarm triggers.
CONTROLLING PERIPHERAL DEVICES The NET104A has four relay outputs for switching external devices (for example, lights or sirens). The relays can be operated interactively, during an active connection, or automatically to coincide with certain events. Settings for the relay must be configured (see the Configuration section). Typical applications of the relay outputs are activating electric door openers or switching of lights and other electrical devices. Do not exceed the maximum rating of 24V and 0.8A.

When set to off, you must assign it yourself. Base Port 25000 Enter a setting to designate which TCP/IP ports PelcoNet uses for transmission, video, audio, and control. For example, the default setting of 25000 means PelcoNet will use TCP ports 25000-25001 and UDP ports 25002-25011 (12 ports total) for all video and control data.
Video Settings Configuration Page The Video Settings configuration page lets you modify all video-related parameters. Some items apply only to transmitters while others require a receiver. The screen capture below belongs to a transmitter. Refer to Table D for default settings and descriptions. Figure 28.
The following table details the configuration items. Table D. Video Settings Configuration Item Default Setting Description Video quality super fast You can set the quality of the video. On restricted bandwidth channels, you need a compromise between optimum image sharpness and quick reproduction of movements in the image. With increasing bandwidth, the effect of this setting diminishes, as best quality and fast motion can be maintained simultaneously.
Table D. Video Settings (Continued) Configuration Item Default Setting Description Video Priority ActiveX This field controls whether performance of the device is optimized for MJPEG or ActiveX (H.261/H.263). If you select MJPEG mode, a sequence of still images (for example, a fresh image every second) is displayed in the browser. This setting does not require any plug-ins or ActiveX installation and may be advisable for severely limited channels (for example, the Internet).
Table D. Video Settings (Continued) Name stamping off Name Stamping is a combination of unit name and camera name (18 characters maximum). This identifier can be stamped on the video image. Choose top for upper left corner or bottom for lower left corner to display the name information inside the video image. Choose off if you do not want the names displayed.
Audio Settings Configuration Page Audio configuration settings apply only to the NET104A transmitter and to the NET101R-A receiver. You can set the input and output levels (from 0-100%) on this configuration page. You can use the Coding Mode menu item to set the sending side’s coding mode. The audio decoder automatically follows the transmitter’s selected audio coding. If the receiver cannot decode the selected mode, an automatic fall-back to the next available audio mode occurs. Figure 29.
The table below details available configuration items. Table E. Audio Settings Configuration Item Default Setting Description Input level 64% Enter the sensitivity of the audio input. You need to adapt the input sensitivity to the level of the audio source to avoid overdriving the signal, causing distortion. Experiment for the best setting. Output level 32% Enter the sensitivity of the audio output. Adapt the output level to the requirements of connected audio equipment.
Alarm Settings Configuration Page The PelcoNet NET104A Transmission System is not only a multimedia gateway but also a security device and, therefore, has many features related to security applications. The Alarm Settings configuration page lets you configure your unit for video surveillance applications. This page basically applies to transmitters only. However, receivers do provide the same features.
The set of video surveillance features is explained below. Table F. Alarm Settings Configuration Item Default Setting Description Video alarm off If you select on, the signal from the video source (the camera in most cases) is monitored constantly for interruption. If no signal is received, the NET104A triggers the alarm. Motion alarm off The system has a video motion detection feature. The video scene is monitored constantly for relevant motion. To set motion detection, do the following: 1.
Table F. Alarm Settings (Continued) Configuration Item Default Setting Description 7. Use the Local sensitivity slide bar to set detection sensitivity. You need to adapt sensitivity to the respective environment and the acceptable false alarm rate: for a lower false alarm rate select a lower sensitivity and vice versa. Experiment to find the best setting. Use of the motion detection feature is recommended only indoors and under controlled lighting conditions. 8.
Table F. Alarm Settings (Continued) Alarm input pin 1-4 off If external sensors or simple contacts or switches will be used with the system, you need to select the alarm input. Click on to activate alarm triggering via an external sensor for the selected pin. Otherwise, click off. You also can specify whether the alarm is triggered by the voltage level active high (normally open) or active low (normally closed).
Table F. Alarm Settings (Continued) Configuration Item Default Setting Description Connect no The alarm functions would have little effect without automatically triggering corresponding actions. Select yes for automatic connection to the given IP address. The idea is to provide a remote monitoring station with live video in case of an alarm. This feature can be useful even for many applications not related to alarm conditions.
Table F. Alarm Settings (Continued) Receiver email address empty If applicable, enter the e-mail address where you want an e-mail sent in the event of an alarm. Idle state open You can configure the switching behavior of each built-in relay output at idle: open (N.O. at zero current) or closed (N.C. at zero current). Operating mode Bistable Select an operating mode for each relay. • When you select the default Bistable mode, the relay will stay in the idle or active state for an indefinite period.

APPENDIX B – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) 1.
7. Can I control other manufacturers’ equipment from the browser? Not at this time. 8. Can I record video with PelcoNet? Yes. PelcoNet can record video to the hard drive of the viewing PC. The video is recorded in AVI format, which allows playback through either the browser or Windows Media Player. 9. Everything is wired correctly but I do not have any control from the browser. What else could be wrong? The transparent data port settings must be set to match the equipment to which PelcoNet is connected.
15. How do I program PelcoNet with HyperTerminal? Using a null modem cable, connect a COM port on your PC to the COM port on NET104A. Open HyperTerminal and set the port to use to 19200, 8, N, 1, and No Flow Control. Type ?, and follow the help menu. 16. How much bandwidth does PelcoNet use? PelcoNet’s bandwidth is adjustable. You can set it from 10 Kbps up to 1 Mbps. Pelco recommends a minimum of 250 Kbps for live video at medium image quality.
