Privacy masks
Privacy masks can be configured through the web interface of the BC840-MC to conceal
sensitive areas, such as point-of-sale keypads in retail or ATM applications as well as windows
or other exposed areas appearing in city centre surveillance situations.
Web interface
Configuration, management, and live viewing are simplified by the access-controlled web
interface. Full in-band control is available through Device Manager and the HTTP API. The
BC840-MC is field-upgradeable.
FTP push
Upon an event, the BC840-MC can push a JPG image to one or two FTP servers. The event
can be triggered externally by VMD, the Image Monitor, or Tamper Detect. The BC840-MC can
also periodically upload images to the remote server(s).
Video Motion Detection (VMD)
The BC840-MC is fitted with a motion detector, which raises an event when a certain amount
of motion is detected in a predefined area in the image. The motion detector runs real-time on
the live images. The detection itself is based on ‘averaged pixel change’. The region of interest
(ROI) is obtained by masking the parts of the image of less or no interest, such as trees or a
fountain which would otherwise trigger false events. The mask can be drawn freely over the
image.
Audio and I/O channels
By combining streaming video with duplex audio and I/O contacts over IP, the BC840-MC
provides all the interfaces necessary for any IP CCTV application. The balanced audio inputs/
outputs are suitable for all industrial audio systems.
Fiber and EoC options
The BC840-MC is available with an optional, pluggable SFP slot. This offers unparalleled
flexibility in connectivity. With fiber SFPs you can connect over multimode or single-mode
optical fiber cable and cover distances from 100 m to 120 km or more. To connect over
(existing) coax, you can use TKH Security's ECO-plug for Ethernet over Coax.
Analogue output
With its analogue output, the hybrid BC840-MC solution can provide local video for a public
view monitor or local DVR.
Power source choices
The BC840-MC camera can be powered by 24 Vac, 12 Vdc / 24 Vdc, or over the network with
802.3af-compliant PoE sources.
Reliability
Dependability and high reliability are key factors in this camera's design cycle. TKH
Security BC840-MC cameras are assembled with meticulous care and thorough testing at our
ISO 9001
