  • Page 17: Chapter 4 Installation

    Installation Thanks to its compact design, the VideoJet is ideally suited for installation in very confined spaces, such as in cable trenches or camera housings. Attention! The unit is designed for operation indoors. Choose a site for instal- lation which ensures that the server is exposed to neither extreme temperatures nor extreme moisture or humidity.

  • Page 18: Connections

    Installation Connections Camera/monitor Depending on the device model used, you can connect a video source ( ) or a monitor VideoJet VideoJet ) to the IPCom. All cameras and VideoJet VideoJet video sources generating a standard PAL or NTSC signal and all monitors suitable for standard PAL or NTSC video signals can be used for this purpose.

Push the terminal block onto the plug-in base again. 1 Alarm input + 2 Alarm input ground 3 Control output 4 Control output Audio connection The VideoJet provides two audio channels with the designations HANDSET and AUDIO-IN or AUDIO-OUT.
  • Page 20 Installation Data terminal You can connect a data terminal to the VideoJet for commission- ing and local control. The data terminal consists of a computer with a terminal program. Use a standard serial cable for the connection. Connect the RS232 interface CONTROL TERMINAL to a free serial interface of the computer.

  • Page 21: Switching On / Switching Off

    Installation Switching on / Switching off Mains connection The scope of supply of the VideoJet includes a plug-in power pack. Attention! Use only the plug-in power supply unit supplied for operation of the VideoJet . Take appropriate measures or install the appropriate equipment to prevent surge voltages, interference voltage peaks or power failures in the mains supply from reaching the server.

  • Page 22: Commissioning With Terminal Program

    Installation Commissioning with terminal program Data terminal You can connect a data terminal to the VideoJet for putting the unit into operation and for the local control. The data terminal con- sists of a computer with a terminal program. For the connection use a serial standard cable.

    Configuration with web browser General procedure for configuration The configuration pages allow you to conveniently configure the VideoJet . When you call up one of the configuration pages, you will see the current settings. You can change the settings by enter- ing new values or by selecting a predefined value from a list box.

  • Page 29: Identification

    Configuration with web browser Identification Unit identification The transmitter data Unit name and Unit ID serve to identify a device from a distance, for example in the event of an alarm call. Unit name: Enter a name for the VideoJet here. With appropriate configura- tion, the name will be displayed in the video window.
  • Page 30 Configuration with web browser Password level: The access to a VideoJet is generally protected with a password in order to prevent unauthorised use of the device. The transmitters operate with two authorisation levels, Service and User. In the authorisation level Service, you can change all the configu- ration settings after entering the corresponding password.

  • Page 31: Display Settings

    Configuration with web browser Display settings Camera name Camera: Enter the desired camera name here. The camera name serves to simplify identification of a camera location from a distance, for example in the event of an alarm call. Enter a designation here which allows easy and unambiguous identification.
  • Page 32 Configuration with web browser Alarm mode stamping: Select On to permanently display the alarm source (e.g. video signal) in the video image for information. Select Off to never display the alarm source or On alarm if the alarm source is only to be displayed in the event of an alarm. On alarm hold: Select Hold on if the alarm message is to continue to be displayed even after the end of the alarm status or until it is confirmed.

  • Page 33: Video Settings

    Configuration with web browser Video settings Video quality Picture quality: (transmitter only) You can set the quality of the video reproduction. A compromise has to be found here between optimum image sharpness and a quick reproduction of movements in the image. If you attach importance to a high image refresh rate, the quality of the image (sharpness) deteriorates with increasing movement in the field of view of the camera (unsharp, distortions).
  • Page 34 Configuration with web browser Resolution: (transmitter only) You can choose between high (CIF) and low (QCIF) video resolu- tion. The Common Intermediate Format (CIF) supports a local reso- lution of 288 lines × 352 pixels. This is the resolution used in the standard setting.
  • Page 35 VideoJet cannot transmit image data in JPEG format. With an appropriate setting of the receiver, only the VCS logo will be displayed in the video window in this case. JPEG settings You can store video images in JPEG format at certain intervals on an FTP server.
  • Page 36 Configuration with web browser Login name: (transmitter only) Enter your login name for den FTP server here. Password: (transmitter only) Enter the password for the access to the FTP server here. Path on server: (transmitter only) Enter the exact path here under which the images are to be stored on the FTP server.

    Configuration with web browser Audio settings These parameters are only valid for devices with installed audio option ( VideoJet VideoJet Audio input You have the choice of operating either a telephone handset or a loudspeaker and a microphone on the audio interface. Select the configuration you wish to use.
  • Page 38 Configuration with web browser Audio level Here you can set the sensitivity of the input and output for audio signals. Match the configuration settings to the interfaced devices in order to avoid overmodulation and the consequent distortions. Information on this can be found in the documentation on the devices used.

  • Page 39: Alarm Settings

    Configuration with web browser Alarm settings On this page you can configure the behaviour of the VideoJet in the event of an alarm and the alarm triggering events. Alarm Sources You can select and activate the sources for alarms. In the event of an alarm, the symbol corresponding to the alarm source is dis- played white in the video image.
  • Page 40 Configuration with web browser Motion Detection (transmitter only) You can select the image areas to be monitored by the video sen- sor. The video image is divided into 242 square cells. You can acti- vate or deactivate every one of these cells. For example, if you want to exclude certain areas in the field of vision of the camera from the monitoring because there's continuous motion in that area (trees in the wind), deactivate the corresponding cells.
  • Page 41 Configuration with web browser Alarm input 1: The external sensor connected to the alarm input is monitored. If the sensor is tripped, an alarm is triggered. Select On to activate the alarm triggering via the external sensor. Otherwise select Off. You can specify for the alarm input whether the alarm is triggered by the voltage level active high or active low.

  • Page 42: Relay Configuration

    Configuration with web browser Relay configuration You can configure the switching behaviour of the relay output. You can assign the relay the function of an NC contact (closed at zero current) or an NO contact (open at zero current). Furthermore you can specify whether the output reaction is to be bistable or monostable.
  • Page 43 Configuration with web browser If a floodlight activated by an alarm is to remain switched on at the end of the alarm, select Bistable. If a siren triggered by an alarm is to sound for a period of 10 seconds, select Monostable 10s. Relay follows: If necessary, select a particular event which is to trigger the relay.
