HD
Cameras
Installation and testing of the Camera can be performed with the built-in 7520 Series web interface applica-
tion.
10.1 System Requirements
In order to test the Camera you need the following items:
•
laptop or desktop computer (for recommended computer requirements see section 10.2 of this
chapter)
•
100/1000BASE-T network card installed in your computer
•
Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 8 if the web browser is used or higher
•
100/1000BASE-T network switch
•
Ethernet CAT5e cable
10.2 Recommended Computer Requirements
The following are recommended requirements to run and operate a Camera:
•
CPU: Intel i7-860S 2.53 GHz or better
•
Operating system: Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), 64 Bit or Windows 7 Pro, 64 Bit
•
Memory: 4GB DDR3@1066MHz or better
• Hard Drive: 7200 rpm - minimum speed with sufficient free space
•
Video card: NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800 GTX+ with 512 MB RAM or better, or high-end ATI Rad-
eon™ HD series
10.3 Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The 7520
HD
Camera is compliant with IEEE 802.3af standard. Power to the Camera is supplied through the
network. Two types of PoE implementations are specified by the standard:
•
Endspan PoE - power is applied directly by the switch to the Camera. This method requires the
deployment of a PoE-enabled switch.
•
Midspan PoE - power is supplied by an injector placed between an existing non-PoE switch and
the Camera.
PoE injector can be ordered from CohuHD. Please refer to the CohuHD website in the 7520
HD
Series speci-
fications section for ordering information. The PoE injector selected for use with 7520
HD
should meet the
following requirement:
•
be compatible with IEEE 802.3af standard
Figures 9 and 10 show interconnection diagrams for 7520
HD
:
•
Figure 4 shows a setup of the Camera with PoE-enabled switch.
•
Figure 5 shows a typical set up interconnection diagram for the Camera using the PoE injector with
non-PoE switch.
These diagrams give some idea of a typical installation. Each installation site will have its own unique re-
quirements.
