Hardware Connections Between Vcs Units; Establishing The Connection - VCS VideoJet 8000 User Manual

Operation

Hardware connections between VCS units

A VideoJet 8000 with a camera connected to it can be used as a transmitter and
an MPEG-2 hardware decoder from VCS (such as the VIP 1000) with a
connected monitor as a receiver using an Ethernet network connection. This way
it is possible to cover large distances without installation or cabling challenges.
Installation
VideoJet units are designed to connect to one another automatically with the
corresponding configuration. This only requires that they be part of a closed
network. Proceed as follows to install the units:
– Connect the units to the closed network using Ethernet cables.
– Connect them to the mains supply.
Note
Check that the units are configured correctly for your network and that the
parameter Video receiver IP address or Alarm IP Address for the
VideoJet 8000 is set to the IP address of the receiver (see pages 46
and 98).

Establishing the connection

There are three options for establishing a connection between a VideoJet 8000
transmitter and a VCS receiver on a closed network:
in the event of an alarm,
using a terminal program or
a Web browser
Connect on alarm
The VideoJet 8000 can be configured to connect automatically to a receiver when
an alarm is triggered (see page 97). After a short time, the live video image from
the transmitter will be shown on the connected monitor.
This option can also be used to connect a VideoJet 8000 and a VCS receiver
using a switch connected to the alarm input. In this case, no computer is needed
to establish the connection.
