5 Operation
NetCam has no switches or other control elements. Once the system is installed, as
has been described in the preceding chapter, the unit is operational. Especially send-
ing units are mostly installed at distant locations, which are either called from the re-
ceiver side or may initiate a call in an alarm situation. Alternatively the NetCam
systems can be controlled via one of the RS232 interfaces using a keypad or a PC
with a suitable control program.
5.1 Front Panel Display
Four light-emitting diodes (LED) on the front side of the unit indicate to the user the
current status of the respective NetCam1 or NetCam6 unit (not for NetCamPlus):
• A correctly installed adapter and the according power supply are indicated by a
red diode.
• An existing ISDN connection is displayed by one or two green illuminated LED’s
‘B1’ or ‘B2’ depending on whether one or two B-channels are being used.
• The yellow light ‘Detect’ signals motion detected in the video scene, whereupon
pre-configured emergency numbers can be dialed automatically.
When the Siemens M1 GSM-modem is connected the yellow LED indicates suc-
cessful login into the GSM network.
The following chart summarizes the meaning of each individual LED:
B1 Connection via ISDN channel B1
B2 Connection via ISDN channel B2
Detect Motion detected (if motion detection is activated)
GSM network login (for Siemens M1)
