Chapter 3 Installation

3.1 Mount the BS-200 The BS-200 provides screw holes on both the top and bottom surfaces of the unit for mounting the stand assembly. You can mount your BS-200 on a desktop, a wall, or ceiling by adjusting the linked way of stand assembly.

3.2 Connector to Network Connect an Ethernet cable (twisted pair CAT5 terminated cable with a standard RJ-45 connector) to your BS-200 and attach it to the network.

6

3.3 Connect to Power Supply Attach the external Power Adapter to the unit and connect it to your local power socket.

NOTE: Ensure you power supply adapter specification. The Output DC

12V 1A is for BS-200 Network Camera. The Input AC Voltage must match to your power system, e.g. 110V/220V.

3.4 Assign IP Address Before using BS-200, users must set the IP address in advance. There are two different ways to set IP address into BS-200. NOTE Before IP Assignment: Make sure the BS-200 is powered on and connected to the network

correctly.

Obtain a unique IP address from your network administrator.

Each BS-200 has unique Ethernet address (MAC address), which is recorded as 12 digits serial number labeled at the bottom side of BS-200

Following examples use PC with IP address 192.168.0.1, and going to setup BS-200 server to IP address 192.168.0.200 whose MAC address is 000429000150. DO NOT USE those addresses featured as examples in this document, always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address.

The IP address assigned to BS-200 shall be the same IP domain (presented as same subnet mask) as PC IP address. In our case, PC IP address is 192.168.0.1 and BS-200 is 192.168.0.200, so the subnet mask shall be 255.255.255.0. If PC subnet mask is 255.255.255.128 or higher, then the domain can’t cover 192.168.0.200, so the setting won’t take effective.

7

For speedily installing and easily setting the IP Address, the BOSER provides an IP Installer Wizard for you. Please install the application and see the user’s manual for detailed description and usage.

1. In Windows, open DOS window. Enter DOS by <Start Program MS-DOS Prompt>.

Appendix A Upgrading the Software

BOSER Network Camera is contained in Flash Memory, a silicon chip allowed to be erased and re-written. It provides an easy way to update the software without change any parts; just simply load the newest software from network.

The following procedures are to update the software:

A.1 Check Software Version Enter URL “http://IP Address>/ver” in your web browser, which will show you the software version.

Example: enter “http://192.168.0.200/ver” in IE3 URL location, you will see the software version – “Software Version=1.00 Revision 0905.1641”, which indicates the currently software version is 1.11. NOTE: You can also get the software version in configurations page on

Chapter 5.3 Server Configuration.

A.2 Obtain The Software (flash.bin) The latest version of the BOSER Network Camera software is free of charge from BOSER Technology Co., Ltd. or your local distributor.

A.3 Upgrade Procedure Via FTP 1. Download the newest software and unzip it into your local

Driver, for example “c:\temp”. Then, confirm the “flash.bin” file exists in this directory.

2. Remove all event setting and reset the BOSER Network Camera. You have two ways to remove the event lists. One is to choose” Event ID” and to use “Remove” icon on “Event” page. The other is to click the “Load Default” icon in configurations page to reset all settings; however, it will not only delete event lists, but also all other settings. Then click the “Reboot System” to restart the Network Camera or enter CGI command URL “http://<IP Address>/control?reboot=1” in your web browser.

30

Caution: You must remove all event settings and reboot the network camera before doing the following procedures; otherwise, some occasional internal conflicts may endanger the Flash devices.

3. Start the FTP session and log in to the BOSER Network Camera. For example, in our case for Windows 98: Enter DOS by “Start Program MS-DOS Prompt” Change to the directory where the latest flash.bin exist Start FTP session by enter “ftp<IP Address>” Enter “root” as USERNAME, “pass” as PASSWORD, if no user in User List record. In case any user list exists, you will have to use your administrator’s USERNAME and PASSWORD to login

4. Set FTP to binary mode using the command “bin”. In FTP session window, enter “bin”

5. Upload the software into BOSER Network Camera by FPT “put” command. In FTP session window, enter “put flash.bin” In FTP session window, enter “bye” to quit FTP session

6. FTP session may freeze for around 1 minute to transfer and automatically upgrade the software. During that time, ping the BOSER Network Camera until get constant reply, which means system had completed upgrading and rebooting, then open browser to verify the software version been updated.

NOTE: If FTP session quits immediately after issued by command, you should continue pinging BOSER Network Camera instantly. If BOSER Network Camera replies to the ping command right after pinging, it means BOSER ICS may not enter the self-programming stage to verify the software version. If not updated, then you should reboot BOSER Network Camera and back to step 3 to try again.

Keep BOSER Network Camera in an idle state, which stops all video requests from other station.

B.2 Download Complete Web Pages For backup purpose, we should download the complete built-in contents before updating. The pages layout is described as below: 3.0.0/WWW: Main video pages including static HTML and JAVA applet 3.0.0/WWW/Images: All graphical files 3.0.0/WWW/Admin: Administration pages when user clicks

“Configuration” in main video page 3.0.0/Sys: Video bitmap font file (Time Stamp and Text Bitmap) 3.0.0/Public: Internal message files

For convenience, some FTP utilities (e.g. Cute FTP, WSFTP) may be useful to download the complete page.

34

NOTE: When user login, root directory is 3.0.0/. Do not change any file in 3.0.0/Sys, and 3.0.0/Public, because these files are only used internally

B.3 Upload Custom Web Pages You can use FTP utilities to upload the updated/added contents to their original directory. For example, if you wish to replace the BOSER banner logo with custom made “oem.jpg”. First, prepare your won “oem.jpg”, and then upload to 3.0.0/WWW/images. Finally, change the logo file name to oem.jpg in “Configuration Network Camera” page. NOTE: Any file upload to BOSER Network Camera should be set to

“binary” mode in FTP utility; otherwise, the file may be corrupted in BOSER Network Camera.

B.4 Verify Updated Contents After uploading the custom pages, open browser to verify the correctness of contents. If not correct, modify the pages and return to previous step to upload again.

B.5 Save The Changes To Flash Telnet to BOSER Network Camera and enter command “Up –w” to write the complete web pages into flash. The detailed procedures are list as below: Open DOS window Enter “telnet <IP Address>” Enter “root” and “pass” as username and password Enter “Up –w” to start the web content update program. The command is

case sensitive. Don’t enter the wrong case or you’ll get the command not find error message. After processing about 30 seconds, the BOSER Network Camera will restart automatically and complete the web content updating. Now you can open the browser to see the new web content

NOTE: The limitation of overall size of content pages is around 700K Bytes. Any file added/updated plus original downloaded file (~550K Bytes) should not exceed this size; otherwise, some files will be truncated or corrupted. If the corruption of any page happens, you will have to reload the original binary in order to recover the corruption.

For example, the BOSER Network Camera IP address is 192.168.0.200, then: C:\temp>telnet 192.168.0.200

Appendix C Emergency Factory Default

In certain circumstance, to restore the server to initial factory default state may be necessary, normally processed through web page (Miscellaneous Operation). If the user can’t get into web page (e.g. Missing of Username and Password information), then he could use Emergency Factory Default to restore the factory default.

Procedures as below: 1. Turn the power off

2. Short the GPIO Terminal block pin 9 and pin 14 with small wire or switch

3. Turn the power on. When the Status LED starts to blink (orange), open the wire or switch that set GPIO Input 4 back to open immediately

4. Server will restore the factory default and restart

NOTE: When status LED starts to blink during power up, if not to set GPIO Input 4 back to open within 3 seconds, server will continue the boot sequence and doesn’t retrieve the factory default.

Appendix D Trouble Shooting

Symptoms Possible Causes Remedial Actions

The IP address is already used by another device

1. Disconnect your BOSER Network Camera from the network

2. Run the PING utility (as describedin PING Your IP Address, on Chapter 3.5 Assign IP Address by ARP) and follow the appropriate recommendations

NOTE: The assigned IP number can be assumed valid if the PING utility returns “request timed out” – in which case you should set the IP address again, power on the BOSER Network Camera and then try accessing the unit again

The BOSER Network Camera can not be accessed from a Web browser

The IP address is located within a different subnet

Run the PING utility (as described in PING Your IP Address, on Chapter 3.5 Assign IP Address by ARP). If the utility returns “no response” or similar, the diagnosis is probably correct. Then, you should proceed as follows: 1. Click “Start”, “Settings”, “Control

Panel” and “Network”

2. Specify the TCP/IP adapter and click on Properties. Then, click “IPAddress” in Properties

3. Check that the first 3 numbers within the IP address of your BOSER Network Camera matches the first 3 ones of your

Workstation. If not, your BOSER Network Camera may be on a different subnet and the IP address cannot be set from this workstation. You must set the IP address for the BOSER Network Camera from a workstation on thesame subnet

In Windows 95, the ARP table was empty when you tried to set the IP address

In Windows 95, the ARP command can’t be used if your have an empty ARP table

Type “arp –a” to view the ARP table. If it is empty, you must ping an existing unit on your network before you can download the IP address on the BOSER Network Camera

The BOSER Network Camera can not be accessed from a Web browser

A programming script locks the unit

Restore the unit to the factory default settings

Appendix E Lenses Replacement

The BOSER Network Camera supports any standard C/CS lens, including full DC-Iris lens. You can replace the built-in lens with any lens you like. Since the BOSER Network Camera is supplied with a CS-mount, any stand C or CS lens typically used in the surveillance industry can be used. Follow the instruct ions below to fit any C or CS type lens: 1. Use Normal Lenses

CS-mount lens mode is the standard type. When using C-mount lens, please use the CS-C conversion Ring.

2. Use the Zoom Lens (adjustment of the back focus)

The camera is set at the standard back focus position when shipped from factory. Depending on types of zoom lenses, however slight adjustment may be necessary. Adjust the lens back-focus by turning the focusing knob in either direction.

Place an object at any fixed distance and set the focus ring of the zoom lens to be used with

Set the zoom lens to fully TELE position and obtain the best focus position by turning the focus ring of the zoom

Then set the zoom lens to fully WIDE position and obtain the best focus position by turning the focusing knob

Repeat the procedures 2 and 3 until focus remains in constant among the zooming ranges

3. Use an Auto Iris Lens

When auto iris is used, connect the plug of the lens (for iris terminal) to the IRIS terminal at the side of camera

NOTE: If you use a DC-Iris lens, be sure to change the AES (Auto Electronic Shutter) to off mode. To do this change, please open the BOSER Network Camera Home Page and go to the Configuration page. Select the CCD module setting function to change the AES mode.
