Viewing images across the network using a web browser
It is possible to use Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.X and above) and
Netscape Navigator (version 4.7X) to view images from a BX2. Follow the previous
instructions to display the BX2 web page, but click on the ‘Web viewer’ icon
instead of the ‘PC viewer application’ icon. It will be necessary to enter a
username and password at this point, the default username and password is
user
and
password
.
Note:
The web viewer does not have all the features of the Network Viewing
Software, but it is useful if it is not possible to download the software, or if you
want to view the images from an offsite location i.e. via the web.
Viewing images across the network using an Apple Mac or Linux
There is support for viewing images using an Apple Mac or Linux based operating
system using Netscape Navigator 4.7X web browser.
Connecting 485-bus devices
BX2 uses the 485-bus networking system to allow multiple BX2s, remote
keyboards, alarm modules, video switchers, and other accessories to be connected
together. The total length of the 485-bus network can be up to 1500m (4900ft).
Connecting alarms and relays
BX2 has on-board alarm connections, labelled ‘AUX ALARMS’ on the rear of the
unit. Each alarm input can be assigned to any camera in the ‘Alarms and Presets’
menu page. Pins 1-20 are used as alarm contacts, Pins 21 to 25 are used as
ground connections.
Note:
By default, pin 17 is used as a global alarm input, this can be changed in
the ‘Alarm Setup’ menu page.
Alternatively, an optional alarm module (DM/CI01) can be used to connect alarms
to the BX2. The advantage of using alarm modules is that the alarm connectors
do not have to be routed back to the BX2. Multiple alarm modules can be used
on the 485-bus with alarms connected to each module.
BX2 has on-board relay connections, labelled ‘AUX RELAYS’ on the rear of the
unit. Each relay output is assigned to the corresponding camera input, i.e.
The connection between pins 1 and 20 is assigned to camera 1, pins 2 and 21
is camera 2 etc. Any activity on the camera will close the corresponding relay.
Alternatively, an optional relay module (DM/CI02/16) can be used.
