Visual Proof installation instructions

 

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Ethernet connection to the internet

 

There are 6 steps to install and test the VP system in a client’s location:

 

 

INSTALLATION KIT

Each Visual Proof system should be shipped with the following equipment:

 

For cabling:

 

To install the controller:

 

INSPECT THE SITE BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION:

 

CAMERA LOCATION:

 

CONTROLLER LOCATION

In practice, a good place for the controller is near to the client’s computer that is taking the inputs from the door sensors. 

 

 

After all of this has been prepared, then you can start the installation itself.

 

CABLING

Running cable is a straightforward process.  You only need to remember that you have to run the video cable AND the power cable.  The easiest way is to tape the ends of the two together and run them as a single cable.   Do not use a cable tie to join the two cables.  It will snag as you run the cable.  The various components are connected as indicated below.

 

Every configuration is a little different.  If you are connecting to an existing camera...We have provided a splitter which connects to their Video Recorder at Typically Camera #1 (if pointing at their front door entrance).  This splitter connects the existing security camera to our Visual Proof Controller (Port #1)

 

 

 

INSTALL THE CONTROLLER

In a perfect world, you will have several AC outlets and a network connection at your disposal.  In reality, you will probably need the power strip and the hub.  You may want to check with the IT department or Internet Service Provider (ISP) to confirm that using a hub will not disrupt the network.

 

 

Position the controller so that it has about 2 inches of space around the sides for ventilation.   Remember that you do not need a monitor or keyboard for this controller so any convenient shelf space will do, as long as you can reach a source of AC power and a network connection.

 

Plug in the video cable to the top BNC connector on the back of the controller. 

 

NETWORK CONNECTIONS 

GRAPHIC OR PICTURE OF HUB INSTALL

 

If you do not have a network connection available, you can share one with another PC that does have the connection. 

 

Take the existing network cable from the back of the client’s PC and connect it to the hub.  Connect a network cable from the hub to the client’s PC.  Connect a second network cable from the hub to the controller.  Plug the hub’s power supply into the power strip or AC outlet.  MAKE SURE THE CLIENT’S PC CAN STILL ACCESS THE NETWORK. 

 

SYSTEM TEST

Hardware:

Plug in the hub and make sure it has a power-on LED.  Plug in the Muxboard and make sure it has a power-on LED. Connect the power cable to the controller and plug it into the power strip.  You do not have to push the power button on the controller.  The power LED and the Red, Blue, orange disk drive LED on the controller should light.  If it does not, check the power cables to the power strip and make sure the power strip is plugged in and turned on.  

Look at the hub and confirm that it is working.  (update this when we have the hub on hand) 

 

The object is to find the Visual Proof controller on the network. 

 

The easiest way is to connect a laptop to the network at the hub with a network cable.  The next-best way is to use the client’s PC that is plugged into the hub.  

 

To find the VisualProof controller, to click on My Network Places,

 

 then Search, then enter “Visualproof” (no spaces) and Enter.
