    MK20HD PLUS / MK20W CEILING MOUNT INSTALLATION The procedure given here is for the kind of installation where the unit is suspended from an overhead surface, but the same steps are followed for an upright stand-alone installation. If the ceiling panel is not strong enough to bear the unit’s weight, use the kind of mount bracket that is supported by anchor bolts between the concrete ceiling and ceiling panel. The unit supports the ceiling mount bracket which is used solely for combination cameras. Use this bracket to install the unit. For installing the ceiling mount bracket, the ceiling must be drilled. It is also recommended that you provide an inspection space or opening for access purposes in the area near where the equipment is installed in order to facilitate installation and the wiring connections work.

    MK20HD PLUS / MK20W IP CAMERA MATRIX SETUP SOFTWARE When using the MK20HD Plus and MK20W in LAN mode, it’s important to first set up your camera controller and cameras in the IP Camera Matrix Setup Manager. This can be downloaded from the Asystems website (www.asystems-sys.com) on the MK20RC Plus page. A download link can be found in the Resources tab. Installation First and foremost, the POE/LAN connector on your MK20HD Plus or MK20W needs to be connected to your LAN hub. After downloading the IP Camera Matrix Setup Manager Software archive from the Asystems website, simply extract the files to your desired folder. Installation is not required but the software should be copied into a dedicated directory. The software can be launched by double-clicking the IPCameraMatrix.exe application file. Operation When starting the software, users will be asked to enter an account name and password. The default values for these are “admin” and “admin.” Once logged in, go to the User submenu to change the account name and/or enter a new password. Controller Setup When setting up your system, your first step should be to scan for controllers. 1. Click the “1” in the Controllers column to open the “Scan” menu. 2. By default, the Scan function will search the IP Range from 192.168.1.1 to 254, but if your LAN uses a different a host bit (specifically the third number in the IP address), be sure to change accordingly. 3. Click “Scan” to begin scanning your local area network (LAN). Scanning the network may take a moment but will identify any MK20RC Plus controllers within your LAN. 4. Select your MK20RC Plus to assign it to Controller 1 in the software. Up to 3 controllers can be setup within the software at any time. 5. You can then move onto cameras or follow the steps above to assign up to 2 more controllers. English...
  • Page 19 MK20HD PLUS / MK20W Camera Setup By default, 5 camera fields will be displayed on screen within the software. This can be expanded by clicking the triangle to the left of the Camera column. 1. Like with the Controller, click a number field under “Cameras” to open the Scan menu. 2. Once your network is scanned, all currently connected and compatible cameras will be displayed. You can select a camera to be assigned to your selected Camera number. Once a camera is assigned it will turn red. Repeat with additional cameras. NOTE: Within the software, cameras are numbered 1 through 25. This is not the case for the MK20RC Plus as the cameras are separated into 5 banks of 5 cameras. That being the case, you can use the little table below to understand how cameras assigned in the software are assigned in the MK20RC Plus. IP Camera Matrix Setup Software MK20RC Plus Cameras 1 - 5 Bank 1 Cameras 6 - 10 Bank 2 Cameras 11 - 15 Bank 3 Cameras 16 - 20 Bank 4 Cameras 21 - 25 Bank 5 All cameras are then assigned as cameras 1 to 5 within their respective banks. Load and Send There’s one more step that needs to be done before your Asystems MK20HD Plus or MK20W are ready to operate with your cameras. After the Controllers and Cameras have been scanned and assigned accordingly, click the “Send” button to upload your settings to the camera and controllers themselves. After this is finished, the MK20RC Plus will be able to link to any of the connected MK20HD Plus and MK20W cameras. The IP Camera Matrix Setup Manager software is not necessary beyond this point,...
