CamVu HyperD

Introduction

1.03

Dedicated Micros HyperD IP camera combines the latest wide dynamic range (WDR) sensor with excellent

low light and low noise performance. This is coupled with Dedicated Micros award winning NetVu

Connected architecture, allowing seamless operation and deep integration with a wide range of DVRs and

other devices, as well as simplied integration into large-scale systems.

The unique Dedicated Micros soft codec technology allows the CamVu HyperD camera to transmit

simultaneous MPEG-4 and JPEG images to the associated DVR for image capture. This exibility allows

users to record high quality images for evidence and watch streamed video at the same time.

Ideal for installations where high contrast images are present such as reception/entrance areas or public

transport environments plus scenarios where accurate colour rendering is needed such as gaming or

banking applications. The CamVu HyperD camera can be housed internally or externally (via an external

camera housing) to cover a wide eld of view. Its web conguration pages allow the installer to adjust the

cameras features over the network without the need to return to the site. The CamVu HyperD camera is the

ideal choice for capturing high quality, low noise images.

CamVu HyperD

Rear Connections

The CamVu HyperD features push t connectors which house connections for 12VDC power and the relay

output. There are also connections for an audio input (via 3.5mm stereo jack socket) and an RJ45 socket

for connection to a suitable network point. Serial communications with camera is via the D type plug. This

can be congured for RS232, RS485 or RS422 protocols. The BNC connection is used in conjunction with a

local monitor to focus the camera during installation.

• Serial port via D-Type for RS232 (3 wire), RS485 (2 wire) and RS422 (4 wire)

• Audio input and output via 3.5mm stereo jack

• BNC output congurable for PAL or NTSC - active for 10 minutes after assist setting up the lens

and nding the unit’s IP address.

• Two way push t connector for 12VDC

• LEDs for power and network access

• RJ45 network port (with POE option)

Overview of the CamVu HyperD

Step 1 - Mounting the Camera

Securely mount the camera to its bracket or housing via the 1/4-20 UNC threaded hole in its base. The

camera may be mounted inverted as the images can be electronically ‘tipped’ (see Conguring

the Unit->Camera)

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging internal components, the screw must not project more than 15mm

inside the unit.

Step 2 - Connecting to the Network

Note: If the device utilises POE (Power Over Ethernet), this step should be postponed until all other

devices are connected.

The CamVu HyperD supports one RJ45 network port. Use a properly screened Ethernet cable to connect

the unit to the network.

By default the unit is congured for DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol). DHCP works on assigning

an IP address at initial connection to the network. It is however possible for this IP address to change

without notication (i.e. in the case of power failure). Therefore it is recommended that the CamVu HyperD is

allocated a xed IP or DNS address to remove the possibility of address change.

Note: Refer to the section ‘Conguring the unit’ for information on nding and setting the IP address

5.13

Step 3 - Connecting Video

The CamVu HyperD has a 75Ω BNC connector congurable for PAL or NTSC which can be used to focus

the lens during installation. The video feed is also sent via the network connection.

Step 4 - Connecting Alarms

The CamVu HyperD supports two EOL (End Of Line) alarm inputs, these are located on the push t

connector. The End Of Line (EOL) functionality is part of the Advanced Alarms supported on NetVu

Connected products and included features required for Central Monitoring and is compatible with the British

Standard BS8418.

CamVu HyperD

Step 5 - Connecting Audio

The CamVu HyperD support a single channel of bi-directional audio, accessible through NetVu ObserVer.

Connect the audio equipment to the 3.5mm stereo socket. The tip of the jack shall be used for audio input.

The following modes of operation are supported:

• Challenge – one way audio, DVR to camera, optionally recorded.

• Listen – one way audio from the camera to the DVR, optionally recorded.

• Help Point – two way audio, optionally recorded.

5.151

Step 6 - Connecting Power

Note: If the device utilises POE, this step would not be necessary. Connect the Network connector at

this stage.

The CamVu HyperD is supplied by a two way 3.81mm pitch screw terminal push t connector, separate to

the alarm connector.

Conguring the Unit

Accessing the menus on a PC web browser

Locating the Unit IP address

The unit is congured using on-board webpages. This can be done remotely once the unit has been installed

in its chosen location.

The IP address of the unit is required to access these pages. When the camera is connected to a DHCP

network for the rst time, its IP address is unlikely to be known without referring to the settings of the

network switch or router it is connected to.

The easiest way to open the webpages for the rst time and identify the assigned IP address (via the Status

page) is by connecting to the Camera using its DNS address.

The default DNS address for each camera is factory set to be its serial number. Therefore the address can

be found from the serial label on the unit or via the packaging the camera came in,

The DNS address can be typed directly into the address bar of a web browser.

Note: If subsequently the camera is assigned a xed IP address, its DNS address can no longer

be used

Note: The DNS address can be changed subsequently to something more memorable or meaningful

than its serial number by editing the System name option in the System conguration page.

Note: The IP address of the unit is displayed on the analogue video output of the camera for 10

minutes after start up. After this time the analogue video output will automatically switch off.

11

CamVu HyperD

Accessing the Conguration Web Pages

The unit is congured using the on-board web pages. To access these:

1. Launch a web browser, preferably on a PC on the same subnet as the unit.

2. Type the IP address of the unit into the address bar.

3. When prompted, enter a username and password. The default settings are: username:dm

password: web.

4. The Main Menu page will be displayed.

6.13

The conguration menus are accessible via the link on the left hand side of the page.

Note: Changes made to the settings on the webpages are saved to the camera when the web page is

refreshed. This can be done by clicking on the web page name in the links on the left-hand side

of the page. Clicking cancel before the web page is refreshed will cancel any changes that have

been made on the web page without saving them to the camera.
