electrical equipment that needs to be installed inside the enclosure, such as video-
servers. You are provided with a copy of the power supply specifications within the
unit documentation. In case you want to use the power supply to power other
equipment such as a video server, make sure to understand the technical details and
to be qualified to perform the work. A Fluidmesh unit has a power consumption of 10
W maximum. Any electrical equipment that you connect to the internal power supply
needs to draw less than 40W (aggregate in case you install more than one piece of
equipment).
In order to guarantee that no water enters the enclosure, make sure that the power
cable that you are using though the watertight glands has a proper diameter. The
enclosure is equipped with two types of watertight glands that guarantee water
tightness. Data cables (Ethernet or coaxial cables) diameters must be between 0.16
and 0.31 inches (4.1-7.9 mm) and the AC power cable must be between 0.16 and
0.31 inches (4.1-7.9 mm).
4.3 Connecting and Configuring IP cameras
The unit has two Ethernet ports that can be used to connect directly up to 2 IP
cameras. Connect the cameras using an Ethernet
crossover
cable. Make sure to use
a cable manufactured for outdoor usage.
Make sure that every Fluidmesh unit with cameras directly attached are configured in
camera/relay mode
.
In order to work properly within a Fluidmesh network, the IP cameras attached to
the Ethernet interfaces need to be configured with the following network settings.
Camera attached to the first Ethernet interface:
IP Address:
1.
a.b.c
Netmask:
255.0.0.0
Default Gateway:
1.0.0.1
Camera attached to the second Ethernet interface:
IP Address:
2.
a.b.c
Netmask:
255.0.0.0
Default Gateway:
2.0.0.1
Where
a
,
b
and
c
are the unique values that form the primary serial number of the
Fluidmesh where the camera is attached.
Multicast Streaming
In case you want to use the IP cameras in multicast mode, you must configure the
multicast settings of the camera in the following way.
IP camera attached to the first Ethernet Interface:
Multicast Group:
224.
