SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Hardware Installation
Before installing the VISTAPRO software, you must first connect the 4 Port PCI card and optional Alarm I/O
Board
(ACC-ALM)
into your PC. The 4 Port PCI card has 4 Video inputs, allowing you to connect up to 4 cameras
to
your system.
The connections and board lay out are shown below.
4 Port PCI Card Diagram
Camera 1-4:
RCA/BNC video inputs for connecting up to 4 cameras.
Power Out 1-4:
Can be used as a p
ower source for cameras (
as
an alternative to an external adapter –
the
power
connectors are not
included with this system
, and can be purchased seperately as ACC-1200
)
Power Supply:
Connects to the supplied power cable, allowing for cameras to receive power directly from
the computer’s Main Board
when using Power Out 1~4 and ACC-1200
.
GPIO Port:
Connects to the Alarm Block module
(ACC-ALM)
if being used.
NOTE #1:
In order to connect a
12V
camera to the DC Power Out inputs, you
will
need
the accessory
Mini
Plug
Connector
(ACC-1200)
. This connector is necessary because the power inputs on the
PCI Card
are smaller than conventional power inputs.
Only 12V DC Cameras are supported.
NOTE #2:
The power supply feature of the PCI card allows for a neater set up by eliminating
the need for further wires & adapters. However, this feature is not essential since the
cameras can also receive power from an external power supply.
