INSTALLING, CONFIGURING AND ACTIVATING THE VIP-GATEWAY AND G-BOX
The installation and activation of the VideoAlert system has been designed to be “plug and play”, requiring no special
training or tools and no knowledge of TCP/IP or networking for typical installations. The primary installation steps de-
picted below are covered in detail on the following pages:
Install and wire all cameras and power supplies
(not included).
1
Install the VIP-Gateway and G-BOX, following the wiring instructions on page 7.
Optional:
•
If you plan on triggering the transmission of events from a security system, or other device, wire the Gate-
way trigger inputs as shown on page 6.
•
If you wish to provide local video from the cameras to be viewed on a local monitor or be distributed
throughout the premises using a video distribution modulator, refer to video output latching instructions on
page 6.
2
Configure the VIP-Gateway on the VideoAlert server.
The Gateway must be configured on-line by simply going to the www.VideoAlert.net, and entering the MAC ad-
dress number printed on the sticker on the bottom of the Gateway. If the customer plans to use the system only
for remote viewing of the cameras, there are no further configuration steps required. If using optional features,
these are all configured on-line:
Optional:
•
If triggering video events, referring to page 11, be sure to program the VideoAlert server IP address under
the Security tab. Also, on page 10, under the Channel tab, change the trigger style from normally open to
normally closed, if necessary.
•
If using the local video output from the cameras to be viewed on a local monitor or to be distributed
throughout the premises using a video distribution modulator, set the sequencer time on the Advanced
Settings, Main screen as described on page 9.
3
Activate the new VIP-Gateway account on the VideoAlert server
.
Once the account is configured, it must be activated (personalized) for the customer. The system has been de-
signed to allow the subscriber to have complete control of their account in regard to users, passwords, email ad-
dresses and other personal information. This self administration is described on pages 12 through 15 and also in
the User Guide, OI313 which should be given to the subscriber.
