QUICK START GUIDE
HARRIER IP CAMERA INTERFACE BOARD
Introduction
This guide is designed to get you quickly up and running with the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board
(AS-CIB-IP-SOC-001-A or AS-CIB-IP-SOC-002-A) together with the Harrier Ethernet Connection Board
(AS-CIB-IP-IFETH-001-A or AS-CIB-IP-IFPOE-001-A). The Harrier IP camera interface solution can be
purchased as a pre-assembled camera module with the Harrier 10x/36x/40x/55x AF-Zoom Camera, the
Sony FCB-EV series cameras and the Tamron MP3010M-EV camera (e.g. AS-CIB-IP-001-3010-A, figure 1).
This document should be read in conjunction with the datasheets of the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board
and the Harrier Ethernet Connection Board.

Page 2: Evaluation Kit Contents
IP CIB Evaluation Kit Contents The Evaluation Kit for Harrier IP (AS-CIB-IP-001-EVAL-A) contains all the parts needed to evaluate the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board. Note that the evaluation kit does not include a Harrier IP Camera Interface Board or camera, these need to be ordered separately. Please check that you have all the parts listed below: Multi-region 12V power supply (please fit the adapter suitable for your region) •... - Page 3 IP CIB Setting up the Boards If you have purchased a pre-assembled camera you can skip this step. 1. Connect the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board (SoC board J2) to the Harrier PoE/Ethernet Connection Board (J1) using a 24-way 0.5mm pitch double ended (same side contacts) FFC cable. Ensure that the cable is connected the right way round.
- Page 4 IP CIB DHCP Server Software If the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board is set up to get an IP address from a DHCP server, and you want to set up a point-to-point connection between the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board and a PC, you will need to run a DHCP server on the PC.
- Page 5 IP CIB Quick Start - Harrier IP powered via regular power supply (IP-001/2) 1. Download the ONVIF Device Manager from https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/ 2. Connect the correct power socket adapter to the multi-region power supply. 3. Connect the JST connector on the power adapter cable to J3 on the Harrier Ethernet Connection Board.
- Page 6 IP CIB Quick Start - Power over Ethernet (PoE) used to power your Harrier IP (IP-003/4) 1. Download the ONVIF Device Manager from https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/ 2. You will need a CAT5e/6 cable and a PoE enabled Ethernet port. 3. Connect the Molex connector on the Ethernet interface adapter cable to J2 on the Harrier PoE Connection Board.
- Page 7 IP CIB Discovering the IP Address of the Camera Finding out the camera’s IP address requires the ONVIF Device Manager application. By default, the camera is configured to request an IP address from a DHCP server so unless the configuration has been changed, the IP address will be automatically assigned by the DHCP server. On the very first power-up the Harrier IP board will also have an additional fixed IP address of 192.168.189.100.

Page 9: Assigning A Fixed Ip Address
IP CIB Assigning a Fixed IP Address A fixed IP address can be set on the Harrier IP Website (Network Settings page) served by the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board. • In your web browser, enter: http://<IP Address> to access the Harrier IP Website. •... - Page 10 IP CIB Viewing Video Streams To view streaming video from the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board you will need a media player such as VLC media player or GStreamer. Streams can also be viewed in the ONVIF Device Manager. There are three default stream profiles available: quality_h264 •...
- Page 11 IP CIB Managing Camera Streams Figure 16. ONVIF Device Manager main menu and Profiles window The three default video stream profiles are accessible in the ONVIF Device Manager (ODM) Profiles menu. From here you can select the video stream profile that you wish to use/display in ODM. Each profile stores a set of encoder settings for the video stream.
- Page 12 IP CIB New user video profiles can also be created. To do this in ODM, select the Profile menu and click on Create. Give your user video profile a suitable name. ODM will automatically generate a unique token for the stream name (token_xxxx) that will be used in the URI.
- Page 13 IP CIB Select Edit (see figure 18). Tick the Video Encoder Configuration box, and click on the ‘…’ button (figure 19). Figure 19. Selecting a base video profile for the user video profile The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board offers seven base video profiles that are used to save the encoder settings.

Page 14: Controlling The Camera
IP CIB Controlling the Camera The ONVIF standard defines and supports control for various camera settings and client applications should use the ONVIF Imaging service to control these camera settings (please consult the ONVIF documentation for more information, see section ‘Getting Started with the ONVIF API’ below). However, block cameras typically have many other settings/features that can be controlled using VISCA commands sent over the camera serial interface (see figure 3). - Page 15 IP CIB Figure 21. Harrier IP Maintenance web page Using the Harrier IP Serial Ports The Harrier IP has two serial ports that may be used by the client application via the ONVIF DeviceIO service. Function GetSerialPorts() is used to query the list of available ports. Function SendReceiveSerialCommand() is used to send and receive data to the port.

Page 16: Setting Up A Wi-Fi Connection
IP CIB Setting up a Wi-Fi connection If your Harrier IP Camera Interface Board supports Wi-Fi it will have a wireless module fitted and it will have a serial number that starts with 724. The title of the Harrier IP Website will also indicate that the board has Wireless/Wi-Fi support. - Page 17 IP CIB By default, the Harrier IP wireless connection is set to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server so the wireless network you connect to must be running a DCHP server. To change this, you need to access the Network Settings web page, select the wireless interface, change the setting to ‘Fixed IP address’, set a fixed IP address value and then click on Submit.
- Page 18 IP CIB Getting Started with the ONVIF API The Harrier IP implements the ONVIF Profile S standard (www.onvif.org). The main services and their functions are listed below. Media service: allows control of the H.264 encoder settings and the on-screen display (OSD) •...
