Installation
To easily fit into various environments, the Video Server automatically detects the attached interfaces and
configures itself to the best condition. Therefore users need not care whether the connected cameras are
either NTSC or PAL, how to select the network between Ethernet and modem, and whether the Ethernet
speed is 10Mbps or 100 Mbps. If the connected motorized camera is on the support list, users only need
to plug and play without complicated configurations.
The Video Server supports Ethernet and modem interfaces according to the user's existing network.
Ethernet can provide higher bandwidth to achieve the best performance while dial-up network with
modem is more common in current Internet applications. Refer to the related installation section for your
network environment. If both interfaces are available, Ethernet is recommended and will be chosen as the
first priority if Ethernet cable and modem are concurrently attached. Managing to install in the other
interface will automatically clear the previous network settings to start new installation.
In the following content, "user" refers to those who can access the Video Server and "Administrator"
refers to the supervisor who has the root password to configure the Video Server in addition to general
access. Administrator should carefully read this manual, especially during installation.
