to power other equipment such as a video server, make sure to understand the
technical details and to be qualified to perform the work. The Videomesh
TM
has a
power consumption up to 10W. Any electrical equipment that you attach to the
internal transformer needs to draw less than 25W (aggregate in case you install
more than one piece of equipment).
In order to guarantee that no water enter 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).
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 Videomesh with cameras directly attached are configured
in
camera/relay mode
.
In order to work properly within a Videomesh 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 Videomesh 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.
