How to Install
To easily fit into various environments, 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.
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 Video Server and "administrator"
refers to the supervisor who has the root password to configure Video Server in addition to
general access. Administrators should carefully read this manual, especially during installation.
