1 ABOUT IPCORDER

1 About IPCorder

IPCorder is a system designed for centralised management and monitoring of security devices (predominantly

video cameras and sensors) operating on the basis of IP protocol. It offers the following features:

•IPCorder offers uniﬁed web interface designed for managing all devices and the system itself, which saves

the user the need to deal with the differences in access to the various kinds of devices by hiding them.

•IPCorder allows automatic detection and conﬁguration of new devices, as well as their automatic

integration into the system.

•IPCorder supports organization of multiple outputs from different sources (cameras, sensors) into groups

and their simultaneous viewing.

•IPCorder allows conﬁguration of the system so that it behaves accordingly to reﬂect the time of the day,

or the day of the week. (It is thus possible to conﬁgure the system to, for example, record the video signal

from cameras in higher resolution than during the day, if it detects motion during night-time and send an

additional e-mail, if this occurs on a weekend.)

•IPCorder coordinates the activity of the cameras and sensors and allows their interaction within the

system. It is able to carry out number of user-deﬁned tasks (such as sending an e-mail when an alarm is

triggered, turning a camera when a door is opened, etc.) based on the event statistics, which the system

continuously records, and status changes that occur. There are two possible ways of conﬁguring the

system responses to the events. A simple interface, which allows the user to deﬁne them in a few clicks,

or the script language incorporated in the interface, which, as the more experienced users will ﬁnd, is a

rather powerful tool for setting up the system behaviour.

•IPCorder centralizes the data storage (videos, sensor readings) and offers an intuitive interface for looking

up and exporting the recordings, as well as the possibility to access the data through an FTP protocol.

•IPCorder is accessible remotely (typically through the Internet). Apart from the manual conﬁguration of

the translation of addresses by a router/modem, the system allows the management of an automatic

translation from internal addresses to external ones using the UPnP technology. This setting provides

the possibility of dynamic management of the system and higher security, since the cameras’ output is

accessible remotely only as long as the user is logged into the IPCorder’s web interface. The access to

the output from the cameras and sensors can, of course, be protected by passwords.

1.1 System Description

The very core of IPCorder system is a hardware device, with which the user communicates through the web

interface of his/her computer. Therefore there is no special software necessary; a regular web browser is all

that is needed.

The system is designed as a centralized digital security console. Its aim is thus to centralize the management

of digital security devices (cameras, sensors) and their output data.

The majority of devices can be detected and conﬁgured automatically (if the device supports this option). A list

of supported devices, is given by the installed version of ﬁrmware (which deﬁnes which drivers will be installed

into the system) and can be downloaded from http://www.ipcorder.com, section Downloads. Table 1 shows

the number of devices that can be connected to different versions of IPCorder.

Table 1: Number of devices which can be connected to different models of IPCorder

The system acts as a communication hub that coordinates interaction and synchronization of the devices’

actions, which would otherwise be unaware of each other. It is, for example, capable of switching on the

recording of the camera output when an alarm is triggered (about which the camera device simply would not

know without the presence of some kind of system), or switch on/off the light if a particular event occurs. Apart

from the basic reactions (such as recording the video after motion is detected), which can be set up directly

in the device settings interface, the connection of event and reactions conﬁgured by user-deﬁned rules. The

chapter 4.3 Rules is dedicated to their deﬁning.

Also the way the data are collected from the devices is centralized. It is possible to choose under what

circumstances should the video signal be recorded and for how long. The recordings are stored in the central

data storage with a database, which in turn allows subsequent searching and viewing of the recordings. Data

from the sensors can be exported as tables in html format. Videos or pictures from cameras can be saved to

ﬁle by just one click. Access to saved data is dealt with in the chapter Recordings.

The live data from sensors are displayed in a uniﬁed way, no matter what source device the data originates from.

In contrast to traditional methods that required new browser window or an independent programme for each

device, the IPCorder is able to display multiple outputs from various devices at once. The user ﬁrst selects a set

of devices (referred to as View), whose outputs he/she wants to display, and then is able to simultaneously view

them. Views can be saved and edited so it is not necessary to select the devices again every time. Displaying

of live data from the devices is described in the chapter 4.1 Live View.

1.2 System Requirements

IPCorder is compatible with operating systems Microsoft Windows 2000, 2003, XP, Vista,7; Mac OS X 10.4,

10.5 and 10,6 and Linux 2.6.

Managing the system through the web interface is possible in (for PC) Mozilla Firefox, versions 3 (3.5 and 3.6

recommended), Internet Explorer, version 7.0 and 8.0 (32-bit version only), or (for Mac) Safari 4.

For displaying the videos and pictures from the cameras in the browser we recommend installation of Java SE

5.0 or higher, latest Java 6 version recommended available on (http://www.java.com/).

For viewing of the recordings or of the live data in MPEG4 or H.264 codecs, the Java web applet requires

installation of plugin native libraries onto the client computer. These libraries are installed automatically and

take up only approximately 2MB of hard drive space.

1 ABOUT IPCORDER

1.2 System Requirements

Required speciﬁcations of the computer the video is to be viewed on depend on the number of devices used. It

is necessary to allow approximately 500MHz of the processor cycle and 50MB RAM for viewing of one camera

in 1Mpx resolution. Minimal recommended conﬁguration is 2GHz processor and 1GB RAM. It is also necessary

to count with large amounts of data that need to be transferred while downloading the video from the camera

to the computer. In case of downloading a bigger number of cameras at once, it is necessary that the IPCorder

is connected to the 1GB port of the network switch.

For automatic date and time synchronization (recommended) it is necessary that the IPCorder be connected to

a network with an access to NTP server.

The IPCorder supports SATA and SATA2 3.5” format hard drives. It is possible to combine the two types.

2 FUNCTIONS OVERVIEW AND MANAGEMENT

2 Functions Overview and Management

2.1 First Login

While booting into the Normal Mode, a login page (Picture 1) is displayed. The default password for the admin

user (the main administrator) is set to “admin”.

Figure 1: Login screen

After logging in for the ﬁrst time, we recommend you ﬁrst change the Administrator Account password in the

section Management – Preferences – Change Password. In default settings the interface language is set to

English, if you need to change this setting you can do so in Management – Preferences – User Preferences.

Further on, it is necessary to conﬁgure the basic network parameters (chapter 2.2), set the correct time and

date (chapter 2.4) and, if necessary, also to allow remote access to the device (chapter 2.7). All these attributes

can be set up in the menu Management – Conﬁguration. Please follow the instructions given in the chapter

2 Functions Overview and Management. We also recommend you to update the ﬁrmware (chapter 4.5) with

the last stable version available, which might include important security and other patches, as well as new

functions. The new function Conﬁguration guide which you can ﬁnd in chapter ?? will help you with initial setup

of your new IPCorder.

2.2 Network

Access this section in the menu Management – Conﬁguration – Network.

In the ﬁrst part – Network Settings – you can conﬁgure parameters which deﬁne how and where the IPCorder

will be available in the local network (ﬁgure 2).

2 FUNCTIONS OVERVIEW AND MANAGEMENT

2.2 Network

Figure 2: Network settings

•Automatic conﬁguration (DHCP) – If this option is selected, IPCorder will attempt to conﬁgure the network

settings automatically with the information the device receives from the DHCP server. The values inserted

in the input boxes, such as the IP Address, Net Mask, Gateway or the DNS server, will be ignored.

•Static IP Address – If this option is selected, it is necessary to manually insert the parameters of the IP

Address, Net Mask, Gateway and eventually also of the DNS server.

•IP Address – Is the address at which the device is available within the local network.

•Net Mask – Is the mask of the local network (or a segment of it) to which the device belongs (for example

255.255.255.0).

•Gateway – Is an IP Address at which a Gateway or a Router is available for forwarding communication

from the local network to the Internet and other external networks.

•DNS server – Is an IP Address of the Domain Name Server, which the device should use for translation

of the DNS names to IP Addresses.

In the Domain Settings you can conﬁgure under what DNS name should the IPCorder appear within the

network:

•Host Name – The DNS name chosen for the IPCorder within the domain (for example in

mybox.example.net it is mybox). If there is none, you can use “localhost.” However, if you plan to

have IPCorder sending e-mails (see the section E-Mail), it is necessary that the SMTP server be able

to recognize the device under such a name.

2 FUNCTIONS OVERVIEW AND MANAGEMENT

2.3 E-mail

•Domain – The domain into which the device belongs (for example in mybox.example.net it is example.net).

If there is no domain, you can put in “localdomain.” It is again necessary that the SMTP server recognizes

the domain.

The second part – Other Settings

•Enable UPnP presentation – Option of presenting the IPCorder as an UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)

device. This setting will switch on/off IPCorder’s UPnP function. If this checkbox is ticked, the device will

be visible in Network Places of MS Windows (presuming that the Windows are conﬁgured correctly).

•Enable URL based login – If this option is checked you can login to the system using speciﬁc login URL,

however this aproach is considered insecure because both username and password are part of the URL

and can be easily compromised.

Conﬁrm the changes by clicking the Apply Changes button.

If you are not sure about any of the items, please contact your local network administrator or your Internet

access provider.

Note: Conﬁguration of the basic network parameters can be carried out even in the Rescue Mode, on the page

Network Settings. This might be especially helpful when you are experiencing problems with restarting the

device into the Normal Mode.

2.3 E-mail

The IPCorder offers the option to inform the user about basic system events by sending e-mails. See the

options in the menu Management – Conﬁguration – E-Mail (Figure 3).

For sending e-mails, it is necessary to conﬁgure correct parameters about the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer

Protocol) server. If you are not sure about any of the items, please contact your local network administrator or

your e-mail account provider.

SMTP Server Settings:

•SMTP Server – Is a server servicing the outcoming e-mails from IPCorder.

•Use SMTP Authentication – Here you can conﬁgure whether the SMTP server you are using requires

authentication.

•User name and Password (SMTP) – Insert the user login and password necessary for accessing the

SMTP server.

•Email messages – here ﬁll in the e-mail address the IPCorder should use for informing about switching

into the Rescue Mode (if this option is selected bellow) or eventually other system status changes.

•Send an E-mail when rescue mode activated – Select this option if you want the IPCorder to send an

e-mail to the administrator when it reboots into the Rescue Mode.

Conﬁrm the changes by clicking the Apply Changes button. Rules are used for deﬁning under what

circumstances the status e-mails should be sent (see the chapter 4.3 Rules).
