1. Introduction

1.1. Network camera

The network camera is the one with the feature of transmitting video motion pictures and audio data via a network in real-time. It converts the analog video signals and audio signals into digital data and compresses them for on-line transmission.

Since the web server is built in it and has a network interface, it does not require additional hardware, software or programming (beyond inserting the initial IP address) to view live video transmissions. To insert the IP address and connect the network cable is ready for remote monitoring.

You can now monitor real-time video and audio by accessing to the network camera via the internet browser whenever and wherever the network access is available.

1.2. BNC

BNC is a one channel network camera that transmits motion pictures in high resolution with one-way audio in real-time via the network. BNC supports various network environments such as high-speed Internet, xDSL, LAN or WAN.

BNC compresses video in MPEG4, which is 4 to 5 times more than still image compression algorithms such as JPEG or Wavelet. This makes real-time monitoring available through low bandwidth networks such as xDSL, DHCP and Cable network.

BNC provides the perfect interactive audio transmission capability using ADPCM Codec.

(7)

1.3. Main Features

BNC is designed to meet various user’s needs and usages, such as IT related applications, remote monitoring with an easiness to use interface.

Highly Efficient MPEG4 Video Compression

BNC support 4 to 5 times more efficient transmission compared to similar products based on the existing still image compression methods (JPEG and Wavelet). Under the same conditions, if the size of motion pictures and audio by still image compression method is 7.0 - 8.0 Kbytes, BNC based on MPEG4 compresses images up to 1.5 – 2.0 Kbytes (320 x 240) per frame to transmit 15 - 20 frames per second via 256Kbps bandwidth and 30 frames per second in 512K bps bandwidth or better. However, the image sizes can be increased depending on the objects viewed and the amount of motion.

Audio transmission

In addition to the real-time motion picture and audio transmission, BNC provides the audio transmission function. It allows users to simultaneously hear audio and watch images of a remote location where BNC is installed, providing more precise information of the situation.

Interface to External Equipment

BNC supports sensor and various interfaces with other security equipment for your customized monitoring system.

Various Network Environments

BNC supports networks of various bandwidths such as LAN, WAN, Internet and xDSL, etc. using static IP as well as Dynamic IP addressing for each BNC unit.

Local Recording and Playback

If external storage like USB is installed, BNC provides the total security solutions via network. BNC stores live video into storage device. Users can search and playback files at any time and anywhere the network access is available. The features of local recording and playback are as below.

⑤ In the meantime of rebooting, change network cable into dynamic IP line.

⑥ If it is successful to connect to dynamic IP peer side, ‘Ready LED’ is lit.

(In some case, it takes several minutes to access the dynamic IP peer side according to the line condition.)

⑦ To support easier way to access BNC on dynamic IP, you have to register BNC unit to the directory server. Refer to section 5.2.8, for more information.

You can use IP Setup wizard for dynamic IP setup.

NOTE: You may need to restart ADSL or cable modem, if you cannot connect dynamic IP peer side for a long time. In the meantime to try to connect dynamic IP and to change to static IP, use the IP setup wizard.

* DNS Settings

When required, IP addresses for a primary and secondary Domain Name Server can be set. These are required to use e-mail alarm notification with its domain value.

* Web Server Port Settings

You can change initial web service port of 80 when the port is not available. If you change web server port, users are requested to add port number with server IP in the browser URL input box like this:

http://Server IP:8001 (8001 is port number)

Be careful when you do this, and write the port number you changed down for the future use.

(40)

* Streaming Port Settings

The streaming port is like a gate through which live video data is going. The factory default value is 7011. The streaming port is used when you connect to BNC by client software. You have to use streaming port with server IP like this:

(Server IP):7021 (7021 is streaming port number)

Streaming port can have its value of modulo of 10 plus 1 like 7011, 7021, 7031, etc.

Be careful when you change this value and write it down for the future use.

IP Setup wizard gives you current web server port and streaming port.

*

*** Ethernet Settings

Modem can have different link type. User can set the flexible set up in each modem type. The recommended set value is “Auto”.

(41)

*

*** IP Filter

If you register IP Address in the Allowed & Denied lists, you can control the specific IP Address’ access to server.

If you register an IP Address in Allowed IP list, it means that you accept its access to the server. But if it is registered in Denied IP list, you can’t access to the server with it.

(42)

5.2.7. Registration (to directory server)

Generally, if you are using Internet service such as ADSL or DHCP cable modem, the IP is variable whenever you try to access to the Internet. (It is called dynamic IP) That is why users of BNC on dynamic IP system would have to set IP into BNC differently every time accessing to BNC. Directory server bridges the dynamic IP of BNC and its ID registered by the user. (Directory server must have a static IP.)

You can access to BNC with dynamic IP via directory server. In order to do it, you must register your BNC on the directory server. The registered BNC notifies the directory server of the IP it is given whenever the access to ISP takes place. You must be informed of the ID of BNC and the directory server's IP to access to BNC with dynamic IP.

(43)

Server IP

Directory Server IP address Logon ID

ID of BNC registered to the directory server.

Logon Password

Password of above ‘Logon ID’

Public Open?

Let your site open publicly through directory server. Your site is listed up in ‘public- open registered site’ page of directory server.

Registration on Static IP

This will enable you to use the customized domain URL service even in static IP system via the directory server.

Connect example:

Directory server IP: ddns.brans.com with domain name www.brans.com BNC ID: BNC

You can access BNC like this way http://www.brans.com/BNC

(44)

5.2.8. D/O control

BNC has 1 digital output (DO or Relay) terminal. Using DO, BNC is able to achieve switching feature such as warning flair, door open & close, etc.

To control DO (on/off), choose the terminal to select title, duration period, wished icon and application blank.

If the duration period is 0, main viewer’s ON or OFF status will be continued from switching action.

On the other hand if the duration period is more than 0, it is ON for the certain period of time then OFF automatically.

To execute DO control, user has to have authority for “PTZ control possibility” to log in.

Warning: The maximum input voltage for DO is 24V (1A).

Please refer to this important note. Otherwise, it causes fatal damage of unit.

Additionally, manufacturer does not have the responsibility for this maintenance.

(45)

5.2.9. Configuration Import/Export

User can make a back up file for the current set value by exporting the selected settings.

If you import the back up file, you can apply the setting value of the file to another server. This procedure makes time for setting each server one by one to be shortened.

You browse and select the back up file and import it to another server system.

This section is for your selection.

You can select some among all settings and export it after selecting at one time by creating a new back up file.
