Ethernet Environment
Hardware installation
Before installing multiple Video Server’s at the well-chosen locations, the administrator
should memorize the serial numbers on the packages respectively for future use.
Cable connection
Shut down all the peripheral devices prior to connection. The video BNC, Ethernet cable
and power adapter are essential for basic viewing function. If the attached cameras
belong to the same motorized model, they can be concatenated to single COM port and
will be differed by camera ID set on the cameras. Refer to the related configuration
section for detailed description.
Power on
Make sure all cables are correctly and firmly connected. Before turning on Video Server,
remember to run Installation Wizard on PC or notebook in the same network first. As
long as the “Reset the IP address at next boot” option in network Web page is
enabled, the Installation Wizard is needed to install Video Server. Turn on cameras,
sensors, alarm devices, and then attach power adaptor of Video Server to the electric
power socket. After the POST (power-on self test) is complete and the result is
successful, Video Server is ready for software configuration as described in this manual.
At this stage, network speed and video modulation type are automatically detected.
