Ping test: PING is the most conventional network debugging tool; it is used for testing if the connected IP camera or
other network equipment’s Ethernet port is working normally and the IP address is correct.
In digital IP surveillance applications, if the IP camera’s IP address is not known; the device cannot be used. An IP
address scan can quickly search for the connected IP camera or other network device’s IP address.
The PoE voltage test can test for PoE voltage when a POE switch is supplying POE power to an IP camera.
Cable test: Tests LAN cable sequence of wires.
Supports RS232/RS485, The Baud Rate is adjustable from 600
～
115200bps.
PTZ protocol analysis: Control protocol commands are displayed to check RS485 transmission.
PTZ control: Pan, tilt & zoom, focus adjustment, IRIS Open/Close and set preset positions.
DC12V 2A output power for cameras.
PoE power output supplies power for PoE cameras.
DC5V 2A power output for USB charging (No USB data exchange, voltage only)
Audio input and output tests. Outputs an audio signal.
7.4V 48.1Wh Battery. Remaining battery charge indicator.
2.3 Function
2.3.1 Touch screen and OSD menu
The IP BUDDY+ combines touch screen control and physical buttons. This combination makes the tester very user
friendly. The test meter allows you to move the function icons from the tester’s main menu to the APPS tool folder or
move them back to customize the main menu.
2.3.2 IP camera test
The device is designed for ONVIF IP camera testing. It can display the image from an IP camera and change the IP address.
The 7 inch 1024x600 screen display allows the user to view the image with a sufficient screen size.
With the ONVIF tool, you can display the image from an IP camera and use the PTZ functions. Currently the IP camera
tester supports more than 30 brands’ IP cameras, such as most SecurityTronix, ACTi
,
Dahua, Hikvision, Samsung,
Honeywell and many more.
2.3.3 Analog camera test
Displays an analog camera image on the 7 inch 1024x600 LCD screen display. Supports PAL & NTSC formats. The LCD
screen's back light brightness, video image brightness, contrast and color saturation are all adjustable.
2.3.4 Video level meter
The IP BUDDY+ can perform NTSC and PAL video amplitude signal measurements for PEAK to PEAK and SYNC levels.
Video signal PEAK to PEAK level: For NTSC format, the video signal level is 140±15IRE
For PAL format, the video signal level is 1000±200mV
If the level is too low, it will cause the image to lose quality and limit the distance it will travel over cable. If
the level is too high, it will lead to wash out of the image.
