INTRODUCTION
The IS system is a video security communication system especially designed for applications in facilities such as offi ce buildings,
factories, schools, hospitals, and prisons. This product is an application to be installed in a PC to use it as a PC master station in the
IS system. The PC master station can be used almost as the same as other IP master stations adding some unique functions.
PRECAUTIONS
General precautions
1. For wiring, specify CAT5e straight cable.
2. Due to the environmental sound around the unit, it may hinder
smooth communication, but this is not a malfunction.
3. The outline of video images displayed by video door station may
differ from that of the actual person(s) or background, but this is
not a malfunction.
4. Aiphone assumes no responsibility for corruption of saved
information (such as changes to or deletion of saved information).
Please be aware of this in advance.
5. Warm-color lighting shining on the door station may change the
tint of the picture on the monitor.
Notes on using this product
Lip-sync is not performed for audio and video in the PC master •
station.
Depending on the network environment and computer, it may not be
•
useable.
There are times when audio and video may be delayed in the PC
•
master station due to encoding, decoding, or the network.
Depending on the network environment or the computer's
•
performance, operations may not be carried out normally, such as
interrupted audio or video, and delayed frame rate decrease.
When operating PC master station in succession, the operation may
•
become invalid.
The times for the system and the PC master station are not
•
synchronized.
We recommend a 100BASE-TX wired LAN network.

Notes on communication
When communicating via the PC master station, use a commercially •
available headset or commercially available handset to prevent
feedback. When using a headset or handset, the call tone does not
sound from the computer's speaker. Confi rm the call by the headset
(or handset) or the screen display.
During communication, if you speak before the other person
•
has fi nished talking, your voice may not come through clearly.
Communication will proceed smoothly if you wait until the other
person has fi nished before speaking.
If there are loud noises (such as children crying, music playing, or
•
strong winds) around the computer or the door station, the sound
may break up and be diffi cult to hear.
A hands-free (VOX) system has been implemented for
•
communication. Even if you use a headset or handset with the PC
master station, you cannot carry out simultaneous conversations.
(Communication is not full duplex.)
The talk and call tone volumes vary depending on the PC master
•
station settings, computer settings, and headset or handset volume.
Pay careful attention to the volume when monitoring or talking.
