BIDIRECTIONAL ENCLOSURES (MIC/SPEAKER)

You can use the RG59 for audio. Loss will depend on what kind of camera, or should I say what kind of microphone, and support electronics that go with it. If it has a built in preamplifier then you should be good to go. If it does not have a preamplifier then you can hook it up, and test it. If it works then you are good to go, if it does not then you will have to add a preamplifier from the wire to what ever you are hooking the audio up to, which I assume will be the DVR.

If you are an installer then it would be worth it to get a crimping tool for compression fittings. You can get an RG59 RCA compression fitting to put on the wire then it will plug right in to an RCA input. You can crimp/twist/compress an BNC connector then you can use an adapter such as this:

4-Channel Stereo Microphone Mixer

You can use this as a preamplifier to plug a microphone in to your DVR (do not use the other channels). Use one for each mic.

http://glyn.com/data/glyn/media/doc/AVERLOGIC_product_overview.pdf

AL240 Video Decoder Description

The AL240 is silicon efficient, cost effective high video quality NTSC/PAL SECAM video decoder with high quality Y/C separation process. The AL240 decodes NTSC/PAL/SECAM composite video or S-video and convert it into YCbCr 4:2:2, 8-bit digital video output. Employing adaptive filter technology, the AL240 is able to provide a clear Y/C separated signals while maintaining excellent frequency response. The result is sharp, high detail video that eliminates unwanted dot crawl and false color effects. Fully programmable video characteristic controls, such as hue, contrast, brightness, saturation, are supported. The AL240 decoder incorporates an advanced vertical blanking interval (VBI) data processor to do data slicing, parsing and decoding teletext, closed caption, and other formats. Two wires of hardware channel switching inputs allow decoder to do an instant alternation of analog CVBS inputs from one to the other. Up to 4 serial bus addresses can be selected via two configuration pins that allow multiple AL240 chips on the design without extra logic.

# 7130 chip DVR Card Hardwares Requirements

7130 chipset video capture cards, adopting a new generation of chips Philip 7130 9bit video conversion technology, the image quality of soft pressure to achieve the highest level of card, the effect and most forcibly pressed cards almost see differences. But the cards on the cpu higher, as the cpu prices fell further, the use of the 7130 chip Video Capture Card greater advantage of the following requirements on the capacity of the configuration is as follows :

Minimum :

Cpu : Celeron d 2.66g or above
Motherboard : Intel chip family (via, sis chip will be compatible with the problem, it is not recommended to use), the best use dvr dedicated motherboard, realizing after blackouts
Calls automatically rebooting, and put a few cards can be saved.
Memory : flash or more
Graphics : GeForce2 32m or above (pci-e graphics cards currently support only ati chipset)
Power : rated power 300w or above (DC output : 3.3v, 27a)
System : WIN2000, winxp (Note WIN2000, contain more than 120g of drives, install the patch drives)
The system right cpu, power supply and high demand, customers will not lower than the above configuration installed debugging.

Note :

1 24 channels, we must use more than 2.8g of cpu, or network-cpu resources will be too high because of the problem.
2 Power must use two DC output : 3.3v, 27a (orange), otherwise there will be visual artifacts, gray screens is not a normal phenomenon.
3 Monitoring system can peruse desktop operation to put the proposal c NOTE running (for example, c : c : \ qx2006 application software)
4 must be set to True Color 32bits, otherwise there will be intervals negatives of such abnormal results
5 If ver4.1 printed on the card, install the new board driver

Recommendations :

One, which uses a special plate dvr, blackouts can be achieved after the restart calls, more stable performance.
2, the 350W power supply with the best of the Great Wall Power
Three, do not use low-cost non-brand-name memory, normally with only a 512Mbit memory will be sufficient. Distribution of a 1g, it is possible boot error.
4, using special motherboards, 8-way or 16-way can be used in its own integrated graphics.
5, cpu price difference was not significant, as Affiliated with Celeron d or more.
6, the best use IPC chassis, the price is not high, it is decent, fans should not province.

Video Capture Card for use with the common solution, please refer.

1. Use solid core co-axial cable only, not stranded cable. The solid core must have a copper core with copper shield.

2. Avoid high voltage cable. A good rule to follow is: for every 100 volts there should be a separation of 1ft between the video cable and power cable.

3. While cabling, avoid areas like electrical equipment or transmitter rooms etc., where EMI interference is expected. This can create all types of interference to the video picture. Co-axial cable is very easily prone to EMI.

4. Minimize cable breaks - Every extra connection in the cable can deteriorate the quality of the video signal. If unavoidable, make sure the insulation is good; otherwise over time the exposed cable can touch the ground causing ground loop currents. It may be difficult or expensive to fix such problems in the future.

5. Avoid sharp bends, which affects the cable impedance causing picture reflection and distortion. This is especially true while getting all the cable into the CCTV monitor rack.

6. Poor BNC connections are the major cause of poor picture quality. Also BNC connectors should be replaced every couple of years and should be part of the system maintenance program.

7. Use metal conduits for high security applications.

8. Use heavy-duty cable for outdoor applications providing better protection against the elements.

IP Addressing

Every device connected to the network that uses the TCP/IP protocol has a unique IP address.

IP Address = Internet Protocol Address.

In the current version 4.0, the IP address is made up of four sets of numbers separated by dots. Example: 131.103.243.192. Each number set is one byte or 8 bits long. In other words the IP address is 4 bytes or 32 bits long.
Since each number set is 8 bits long, it covers a number range of 0 to 255.

Therefore the max number of an IP address is 255.255.255.255

Parts of an IP address

The IP address has two parts. One part is the network address, while the second part gives the device address within the network. The IP address can be compared to the mailing address

Network address = Zip Code
Device address = Street or PO Box address.

The identification of the network and device address within the IP address depends upon the classification of the network.

Class A:
The first number set is used to specify the network address, while remaining three number sets specify the device. Address Range: 001.xxx.xxx.xxx to 127.xxx.xxx.xxx

Example: 81.234.101.56
All the numbers in this class are already assigned. Government or large commercial organizations have been assigned this range.

Class B:
First two number sets indicate the network address, while the balance two indicate the device. Address Range: 128.001.xxx.xxx to 191.254.xxx.xxx

Example: 144.56.234.101
This class is assigned to universities, commercial organizations and Internet Service Providers (ISP).

Class C:
In this case the first 3 number sets specify the network address, while the remaining number set indicates the device address. Address Range: 192.000.001.xxx to 223.255.254.xxx

Example: 228.7.8.201
The maximum number of devices that can be attached to a single network address is 254; it is therefore suitable for smaller networks.

Shortage of IP address

The numbers of networks and devices have exploded in the recent past. This means that the availability of IP addresses is getting exhausted. Some

Options:

Temporary IP Address;

One solution to overcome the IP address shortage is to provide temporary address to devices as and when the device connects to the Internet. After the device disconnects, the same address can be given to another device, this how ISP’s operate.

Reduce Need for IP Address:

The Router, which is the starting point of the network, has a fixed IP address. All the devices connected to this network use this IP address. The router has the address list of the devices network card (NIC) and uses this address to communicate within the network.

IP version 6.0

To overcome the IP address shortage, a new version 6.0 is being proposed. It has 6 number sets separated by dots. The size of the address will be 128 bits. With the introduction of version 6.0, there would 5 classes A, B, C, D and E.

Resolution

Resolution is a key specification of any CCTV equipment. It is the quality of definition and clarity of a picture. It is defined in number of lines for an analog signal and number of pixels for a digital signal.

More lines or pixels = higher resolution = better picture quality.

Camera resolution depends upon the number of pixels in the CCD chip. If a camera manufacturer can put in more pixels in the same size CCD chip, that camera will have a better resolution. In other words the resolution is directly proportional to the number of pixels in the CCD chip. Any CCTV device has two types of resolution, vertical and horizontal:

Vertical Resolution

Vertical resolution = number of horizontal lines or pixels. The vertical resolution cannot be greater the number of TV scanning lines, which is 625 lines for PAL and 525 lines for NTSC. Because some of the lines are lost in the interlacing of fields, the maximum vertical resolution possible as per the Kell factor is 0.75 of the number of horizontal scanning lines. Using this, the maximum vertical resolution possible is
For PAL 625 X .75 = 470 lines
For NTSC 525 X .75 = 393 lines

Vertical resolution is not a critical issue as most camera manufacturers achieve this figure.

Horizontal Resolution

Horizontal resolution = number of vertical lines. Theoretically horizontal resolution can be increased infinitely, but the following two factors limit this

• It may
