This section explains the hardware requirements and mounting instructions.
2.1 Requirements
Before you start the installation make sure you have all of the required infrastructure, tools and software.
2.1.1 Hardware
Note:
A singleCAT5 or higher cable can be used to wire a single HD77 camera. This cable includes 2 twisted
pairs for the 4-wire combus and 2 twisted pairs for the Ethernet lines. When using this option the cable
length is limited to 50 meters. When using this option the cable length is limited to 50 meters.
Note:
An alternate wiring scheme is to wire the HD77 with two separate cables. 1 Ethernet cable and 1– 4-
wire combus.
In order to take full advantage of all that the Insight Solution has to offer ensure that the mounting location has
the following infrastructure:
• 4-wire combus cable that connects to the EVOHD
• Ethernet line that connects to a router or Ethernet switch
• a router with enough ports to connect all of the cameras (1 port for each camera) plus 1 port if you are
using an IP150, 1 port for your computer, and 1port for the incoming internet connection
If the router does not have enough ports you will also need a switch.
The router will need to be configured for port forwarding for the HD77. Each HD77 in the system will
have a different IP address and each one will need port forwarding to two ports of its IP address. One
from the external IP address:port (any port above port #1024) to the internal <IP address>:80 and
one for <IP address>:443.
The installer will also need to have the following job specific tools and equipment:
• a laptop with Windows 7
• a connection from your laptop to the system either by:
• 307USB cable
OR
• IP150 Internet module to connect to the EVOHD serial port
