Installation Drawing & Architecture Diagram


1. Basic installation

2. Basic installation with remote access on the local network

The Camera Station connects with a number of network cameras or video servers and is remotely accessed from the same local network using the Camera Station Client or Web interface. This scenario could be used when the Camera Station is located in a closed environment or away from where playback, viewing and administration are wanted. A typical environment could be a RO where Camera Station is located in the Sales Room and the Camera Station Client or Web interface is used in the Back office for viewing, playback and administration. The Camera Station Web interface will be able to view and playback events. The Camera Station Client will be able to view, playback and administrate. It is possible to use up to 10 remote Camera Station Clients for viewing, playback and administration. For playback and administration, the Camera Station Client or Web interface connects to the Camera Station, but for live viewing Camera Station Client or Web interface connects directly to the cameras.

3. Installation with local network spread over a geographical area

In this installation, the local network is spread over a geographical area and the Internet is used to transfer the network traffic through a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The Camera Station is located in a sales room while the complete system is managed using the Camera Station Client or Web interface in another building or another part of the town, for instance. A typical scenario could be a dealer having multiple ROs that has network cameras or video servers at the ROs while the management of the system is at a separate office (head office).

5. Remote access over the Internet using Camera Station Client or Web interface

This installation is similar to the basic installation with the added exception that remote access using the Camera Station Client or Web interface is possible from anywhere on the Internet. The Firewall/Router between the local network and the Internet must be set up to allow network traffic from the Internet to access the Camera Station and to the separate cameras. Otherwise, the Camera Station Client or Web interface will not have access to the Camera Station for administration, playback and viewing. Normally, remote access to the cameras are set up by 'port mapping' in the Firewall/Router. A typical example could be a RO where the owner or a contracted security company remotely checks on the RO.
