Introduction 1 Introduction This manual describes the function, installation and operation of the VCS multimedia modems NetCam1 NetCam1E NetCam6 NetCamPlus. The term ’NetCam’ is used throughout the course of this manual as far as relating to functions or characteristics, which are commonly shared by all products.

3.3.4 Alarm Inputs NetCam1 and NetCamPlus are equipped with one alarm input each, while NetCam6 has seven alarm inputs total. External alarm sensors can be connected to these in- puts. External alarm sensors, e.g. infrared motion detectors, may trigger the NetCam system, which will subsequently dial a preconfigured alarm telephone number and es- tablish a connection with a receiver, e.g.

Hardware Installation Connecting a push button to NetCam1 or NetCam6: Connection of an alarm button is accomplished by connecting pin 1 to pin 3 and at- taching pin 2 to one and pin 4 to the other terminal of the contact. Usage of a bounce- free button is recommended.
NetCam6 has seven control outputs total. Connection is provided at the socket la- belled ‘Alarm’ or at the screw terminals labelled ‘OUT’ for NetCam1 and NetCam6, or ’Alarm I/O’ for NetCamPlus. The above diagrams section 3.3.4 on page 21 depict the pin assignment of the respective connectors.
For NetCam1 and NetCam6 the audio output signal is available at the connector la- belled ‘Alarm’ (see the figure in section 3.3.4 on page 21) at pin 7 (signal) and pin 4 (GND).
B-channels = 128 kbit/s), which is recommended for best picture quality. 3.3.8 Serial Interfaces NetCam1 and NetCam6 each do provide two serial interfaces according to the RS232C standard. In addition, one of the ports may alternatively be operated in RS485 mode, providing differential levels for greater distances and multi-point capa- bility.

’Modem’-Interface The interface port labelled ‘Modem’ for NetCam1 and NetCam6 units as well as the single serial port featured by NetCamPlus units is mainly intended for connection to a local modem for data transmission over analog telephone lines as well as wireless networks such as GSM (using a GSM modem).

The RS485 mode may also be used to connect several peripheral devices in a bus- fashion. The following diagrams depict the pin assignment of the connectors for NetCam1 and NetCam6, as well as for NetCamPlus. Pin assignment of the ’Modem’ connector in RS485-mode (not NetCamPlus): ‘Modem’...
Refer to section 2.3 on page 12 for examples. Connecting a pan & tilt camera, a microphone and a speaker to a NetCam1 unit: All available interfaces of a NetCam1 unit are being used in the above diagram. De- pending on the type of application one or more peripheral components can be re- moved.

Connecting 6 cameras, a local monitor, audio I/O, 6 external alarm sensors as well as 6 actuators to a NetCam6 sending unit: The same remarks as for the previous NetCam1 diagram also apply to the diagram above. Also here many peripheral components are depicted which are not required for each application.
5.1 Front Panel Display Four light-emitting diodes (LED) on the front side of the unit indicate to the user the current status of the respective NetCam1 or NetCam6 unit (not for NetCamPlus): • A correctly installed adapter and the according power supply are indicated by a red diode.

Alarm Inputs are used to connect external sensors or contacts. Depending on the NetCam type only a single input (NetCam1 or NetCamPlus) is or seven inputs are (NetCam6) available. Each alarm input can be configured to trigger an alarm when an external voltage is supplied (high active) or external voltage fails to be present (low active).
The same holds for a NetCam1 re- ceiver, if the ’PAL’ default setting is not wanted. All output settings are ignored when a NetCam1 sender is connected.
