1.Overview of CamCon Camera Server

1.1 About CamCon Camera Server(CCS)

CamCon Camera Server is the next generation of digital, modular, and

networked remote surveillance system. Besides providing functions

such as real time monitoring, video recording, snap shooting and video

playback, CCS also enables the expansion of external storage devices

via network connection, making dynamic increase of the storage

capacity extremely easy.

• Digital

Digitalizing remote surveillance systems is the trend of the market

since it provides lots of benefits to the end users. With digitalized

image files, users can now process, store, analyze and utilize enormous

amount of information in the ways which were not possible before.

• Networked

Because of the networked nature of the server, all major tasks,

including monitoring the cameras, administering the server, and

storing image files, can now be performed via the ubiquitous web

browser. In addition, the CCS can be setup to use ADSL and DDNS

services, and allow the administrator to monitor and administer the

server remotely via the Internet.

• Modular

Remote surveillance system’s functions can be modularized to three

major parts: image capturing, data storing, and monitoring. The

combination of a CamCon Camera Server with a remote storage device,

and a remote monitoring center provides a solution that makes the

most effective use of hardware.

• CamCon Camera Server FCS-5004: A 4-Channel Surveillance

Server with management functions.

• CamCon Camera Server FCS-5008: A 8-Channel Surveillance

Server with management functions.

7

Note: Unless specified for some reason, the CamCon Camera Server

mentioned below applies to CamCon Camera Server FCS-5004.

Please regard FCS-5008 as a combination of two FCS-5004 plus one

CamCon Manager FCS-9002 software. Please refer to the features of

FCS-5004 and CamCon Manager FCS-9002.

Note:

• The “VGA Port” and the “PS/2 port” connectors are used only to

maintain the server.

• Starting from the top, the “Video Input Connectors” are for camera 1 to

camera 4.

• “RS-232 Port” is only used to connect PTZ cameras. Please refer to

Appendix D for further information.

• There are two standards for television communication -- NTSC

(National Television Standards Committee) and PAL (Phase Alternate

Line). Therefore, if the cameras connected to the system have been

replaced, please reboot the system.

1. Installing CamCon Camera Server

2.1 Default Network Configuration of the Server

By default, the CCS is set up to obtain its IP address and other TCP/IP

network protocol settings from a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is

found on the network, the CamCon Camera Server will use the following

default settings instead:

IP Address: 192.168.0.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Please login in the server with the default administrator account using

the following information:

User name: administrator

Password: admin

If you want to reset the administrator password and network

configuration to the factory default settings, use a sharp object to press

the configuration reset switch located in the front of the server for 5

seconds. You will hear beeps when the reset has been completed.

2.2 Installing the CamCon Camera Server

Connect cameras to the CamCon Camera Server first, and then follow the

instructions to install your server. If you are not familiar with network

settings, consult your Internet service provider (ISP) or network

administrator to get the details of the network configuration.

• Connecting the server to a LAN with DHCP server

i. Please connect the server to the LAN with the enclosed CAT-5

Ethernet cable.

ii. Connect the power cord and turn on the server.

iii. Please run the CamCon Administrator utility in the enclosed

CD-ROM.

13

iv. Click on the “Refresh” button located at the bottom of the window.

v. If there are several CamCon Camera Servers in the LAN, choose the

correct device and double click it.

vi. When you connect to the CamCon Camera Server successfully, the

web page will automatically prompt you for the user name and the

password. Please enter the default user name and password:

User name: administrator

Password: admin

• Connecting the server to a LAN by the assigned static IP address

Please connect the CamCon Camera Server to the Hub or Router in the LAN

with the accompanying CAT-5 Ethernet cable.

i. Connect the power cord and turn on the server.

ii. Run the CamCon Administrator utility located in the enclosed

CD-ROM.

14

iii. Click on the “Refresh” button, and select the server you wish to

configure.

iv. Click on the “Configure” button to configure the server.

v. Enter the user name and password. (The default password is

“admin”).

15

vi. Select “Use Fixed IP Address” and enter the TCP/IP networking

setting.

vii. Click on the “OK” button and restart the server.

the setup page, choose the “Network Settings” and select the “Use

broadband connection to the Internet (PPPoE)”, and then enter the

correct user name and password to connect to the ADSL.

iv. Check the “Enable Dynamic DNS Service” box, and enter the user

name, password, and host name. Select “dynamic IP address”.

v. Click on the “OK” button and wait a few seconds for the CamCon

Camera Server to apply the new network configuration.

vi. Shut down the server and use a network cable to connect the

CamCon Camera Server and the ADSL modem.

vii. Restore your personal computer’s network settings and restart the

CamCon Camera Server.
