Network-based digital video recording offers increased
efficiency at a reduced cost. Camera images captured at
multiple facilities can be recorded at a central location. Or
you can set up the IP Security Digital Recorder so recorded
clips link automatically to your other database records. Digital
video recording also eliminates the administrative cost of
handling tapes and cleaning VCR heads.
The network-based nature of the system also allows both
the IP Security Digital Recorder and its video sources to be
connected to your existing LAN cabling, with no need to pull
expensive coax to support the connection.
IP Security CCTV Connector
Use this bandwidth-efficient digital video transmitter to
connect just about any standard analog CCTV camera to your
corporate network or the Internet.
Through this economical connection, you can tap into live
streaming video from previously installed closed-circuit
cameras, such as those used for security purposes. Because
the IP Security CCTV Connector uses your existing LAN/WAN
infrastructure for transmission and has an integrated DHCP
server, you can reduce the costs of connecting equipment
within an enterprise-wide system.
And this is no ordinary recorder that’s only able to capture
one camera shot at a time. The IP Security Digital Recorder
can record up to 16 camera feeds simultaneously and at frame
rates up to 30 fps (frames per second)—rates that are
unattainable with ordinary VCR/multiplexor combos.
Specifically, the software can record 30 fps of digital video
frames on a single stream basis and up to 4 fps with multiple
video streams.
It’s able to do this by using the network as its video
multiplexor, and this process is aided by sophisticated codec
technology that compresses the data for recording. You also
get efficient video-transmission capabilities for reduced
bandwidth consumption and extended recording time.
The IP Security Digital Recorder software enables you to
also view images while they’re being recorded by a remote
camera (or any other video device, for that matter). So it’s
essentially a recorder that‘s also a real-time observation
platform. You can play back all recorded views in a 4 x 4
(16-image), split-screen format, or play back any individual
stream.
And finding the images you‘ve recorded is easy—no more
fiddling with an analog multiplexor and a VCR to track down
a camera shot. The viewer software provided with the IP
Security Digital Recorder offers reduced search time, making
it simple to retrieve recorded video clips to play back over
your LAN, WAN, or Virtual Private Network (VPN). The
powerful search engine locates images by time, date, and
location. Using a calendar-based time and date search engine,
you can view recorded video from any location, instantly
locating and viewing the minute an event took place.
With the software‘s powerful, user-friendly GUI, you can
easily navigate within the application with standard mouse
and keyboard techniques. The software also includes an
ODBC-compliant driver for setting up recording schedules
and logging events, alarms, and location ID. Snapshots can
be stored on an event basis.
TCP/IP addressable, the IP Security CCTV Connector allows
simultaneous access by two receivers. These receivers can
be two viewing stations, two IP Security Digital Recorders,
or one viewing station and one IP Security Digital Recorder.
The LAN interface is autosensing 10/100BASE-T. For
composite video input, there’s a 75-ohm BNC analog video
interface. The CCTV Connector also has control ports (an RS-
232 DB9 passthrough port and an RS-422/485 RJ-11 connector)
for accessing the CCTV Connector remotely. A CCTV video loop
function enables you to add additional CCTV Connectors to
your setup or to output to other CCTV devices.
With the included GUI-based software utility (which is
identical to that shipped with the IP Security Camera), you can
limit the amount of bandwidth used by the IP Security CCTV
Connector. This is done using the software’s throttling
function. You’re also given two display modes. You can switch
on the fly between standard color video display or mono-
chrome display for up to 30% more video throughput.
What’s more, the device’s proprietary codec algorithms
result in faster frames per second and lower bandwidth usage.
This level of digital video compression frees bandwidth space
for other network applications and allows you to install more
cameras on your network.
IP Security Digital Recorder
Compared to traditional time-lapse recording, digital video
recording can be a time and money saver while providing you
with greater flexibility and the means to automate the
recording process. The IP Security Digital Recorder, however,
takes digital video recording a step further—it’s a network-
based digital video recorder!
Why rely on an expensive centralized storage system to
store digital video when you can make use of the distributed
storage capacity of your network? This software-based
®
recorder enables you to convert any Pentium II class PC on
your network to a digital video recorder. Video can be played
back as a standard .avi file on any authorized Windows
computer anywhere in the world.

You’re also given setup controls for selecting your video
device and setting your recording frame rate. For example,
you can use slower frame rates for smaller video files.
To run the recorder software, you’ll need a PC system with
TECH SPECS

IP Security View
You may have an application in which you require

need our IP Security View software, which provides single
users with sophisticated view-only functions of local and
remote camera feeds.

How does this software differ from that shipped with the
IP Security Camera? The camera’s included software allows
you to view a single image captured by a single camera. The
IP Security View software, however, enables you to view up
to 16 TCP/IP video streams within a single computer screen.
These streams—displayed in a 4 x 4, split-screen format
on your computer—originate from connections made via your
LAN/WAN or the Internet to up to 16 IP Security Cameras or
IP Security CCTV Connectors (or a combination of the two).
The software features a user-friendly GUI that can be
navigated with ordinary mouse and keyboard techniques.
Adding the LC1000A cameras or LC1003A units to the IP
Security View database can be done quickly and involves
entering an IP address and assigning a port address. You can
even change your video settings from color to black and white
to increase frame refresh rates and modify bandwidth used to
improve video speed.

Why Buy From Black Box? Exceptional Value.
Exceptional Tech Support. Period.
According to a survey by Data Communications
magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say
Recognize any of these situations?
• You wait more than 30 minutes to get through
to a vendor’s tech support.
that getting the technical support they need is extremely
important when choosing a vendor. But even though
network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support
contract, the technical support and service they receive falls
far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t worth
what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the
best support. You can even consult our Technical Support
Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just
the right component for your application.
• The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you
the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and the
tech refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s
tech support line is closed.
Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
