Before You Use
It is important to carefully examine the contents with the Chapter Package Contents
after opening the package. If there is anything missing, contact your reseller. Read the
Chapter Physical Description before assembling and operating the device and
peripherals. Understanding the physical description can prevent damage caused by
abnormal usage and reduce most problems during installation.
Basically Video Server is a network device and should be easy to use for those who
already have basic network knowledge. If there is a system error and it does not recover
easily due to erroneous configuration, read the System recovery section in Appendix
Troubleshooting to restore factory default settings and perform installation again.
Video Server has been designed for various environments and can be used to build
various applications for general security or demonstration purposes. For standard
applications, find the appropriate section in the Chapter How to Use for your application
and follow the steps to setup the system. To make best use of Video Server, read Chapter
Advanced Functions to get creative ideas and review Chapter System Configuration for
detailed explanations of system configurations. To those professional developers, the
Appendix URL Commands of Video Server will be a very helpful reference to develop a
Web-based application.
Surveillance devices may be prohibited by law in your country. Though Video Server is
not only a high performance surveillance system but also a networked video server,
ensure that the operations of such devices are legal before installing this unit for
surveillance.
Those paragraphs preceding with must be fully understood and cautioned.
Ignoring the warnings may result in serious hazards.

Features and Benefits
Video Server is a high-performance networking video multiplexer. With powerful VLIW
DSP core and fully optimized algorithm, it can compress and transmit the high quality
real-time video through standard TCP/IP inter-network. In addition to meet the basic
needs of video feed, many advanced features are added to help building applications of
surveillance or web attraction. The state-of-art design well compromises among stable,
robust, simple-to-use and flexibility.
☆ Real-time motion-JPEG compression
Four video inputs can be efficiently compressed into packets of JPEG images without
delay. Optimal compression engine makes the equivalently excellent image with much
smaller size. There is no more sacrifice in remote monitoring and storage. Five levels of
compression ratio and three sizes of image resolutions are easy to meet your
requirement.
☆ Robust system operation
Industrial real-time operating system prevents from malicious hackers and virus that
threat Windows or Linux systems. The on-board watchdog eternally monitors the system
operations for dead-proof.
☆ Easy Web access via standard browser
You don’t have to install any software to access Video Server. The embedded Web server
makes users can access Video Server anywhere over Internet with any popular Web
browser. As long as you are connected to network, you can cast your eyes on your
precious property.
☆ Password protection of system access
Password level protection is provided by the system to prevent from malicious intruders
from network. Once the password of administrator is entered, any user will need
password authentication to access Video Server. Each user can have individual access
right to view video or control external devices.
☆ Built-in motion detection
No more external sensors are required. Each video channel can be setup to detect any
motion with customized settings. By tuning the object size and sensitivity, it is more
reliable to fit into your environment. With this built-in facility, you can easily setup a
-5-
security system in your home or office.
☆ Weekly schedule for automatic surveillance
The user-defined time period will repeat weekly to check any security settings and
accordingly sending notification or drive external devices. It is easy to install in SOHO,
retail shop and home as a security system.
☆ Flexible I/O control for external devices
There are four opto-isolated sensor inputs and two relay outputs to control external
devices. System integrators can easily replace the current analog systems to build an
advanced security system.
☆ Bundled powerful surveillance software
To extend the capabilities of Video Server, a powerful surveillance program is included in
the package and totally free to use. Users can easily utilize the existing PC to be a digital
video recorder. Schedule or one-click recording keep every important moment in your
local hard disk; reliable motion detection and instant warning make you sharp for every
conditions. Quick and simple search and playback let you easily find the moment you
want to inspect more carefully and output to AVI files for another copy.
☆ Remote system upgrade
To achieve the promise we made to support our valuable customers in life-time, the most
up-to-date firmware is always put on our web site to add new functions or solve known
bugs. A free upgrade wizard is included to facilitate the job.
☆ Developer’s technical support
The high-performance Video Server can be integrated into many applications under
perfect control of budget. The complete programming interface and standard JPEG
format can ease and speed developers’ task. More creative ideas can be found on our
Web site.

Physical Description
Front Panel
Status LED’s Each time Video Server starts up, it will perform
power-on-self-test, abbreviated as POST, to
examine every hardware module. As soon as the
administrator plugs in the power connector both
LED’s under the power LED will flash one by one
until the diagnosis is done. If the result is good,
both status LED’s will turn off for a while and
then follows the pattern below. If any module
fails, refer to the Appendix A for the error pattern
and follow the trouble-shooting procedures. If the system still cannot operate normally,
please contact your reseller for technical service.

BNC video inputs “IN” & outputs “OUT”
Video Server allows up to four cameras attached at the same time. To ensure video
modulation type being detected correctly, cameras should be attached sequentially from
“VIDEO1” to “VIDEO4” and powered on before Video Server is powered on. There are
also four loop-through connectors of video outputs for conjunction with other capturing
devices like time-lapsed VCR. In such case, read the next paragraph for correct settings.
DIP switches “1” to “4”
There are four DIP switches numbered from “1” to “4” in the front panel regarding of
each video input. They are used to enable the 75-ohm resistance of video impedance.
They should be kept ON if there is only one camera connected to each video input. If
users want to connect another device such as VCR or multiplexer to the video output, the
switch should be turned up to disable the impedance.
Auxiliary buttons “CLEAR” & “RESET”
There are two buttons located at the center of the front panel, one is labeled “CLEAR”
and the other is labeled “RESET”. Refer to the Appendix Troubleshooting for the detailed
usage of system recovery.

Rear Panel
Ethernet 10/100 socket
Connect to an Ethernet network with a UTP category 5 cable of length shorter than 100
meters according to the standard. Once the Ethernet cable is connected without error,
Video Server will utilize the Ethernet interface prior to the modem attached to COM2.
COM1 port
This RS232 serial port is dedicated to controlling the PTZ cameras attached to COM1
unless the administrator pre-configures COM1 as an RS485 interface that is accessed
through two pins in the general I/O terminal block.
COM2 port
This RS232 serial port can connect with a modem or the included null modem cable to
utilize dial-up network when Ethernet is not available. If Video Server operates with an
Ethernet interface, the administrator may use this port to control another PTZ cameras
attached to this serial port.
General I/O terminal block
Video Server provides a very flexible general I/O interface to combine with the user’s
security devices such as sensors, alarms, lighting or door locks. Two green connectors
are included in the package to connect the external devices. The general I/O terminal
block has twenty pins for device control. These pins can be divided into three categories
based on their functions, including power source, RS485 and digital inputs and outputs.
