Cameras

We use ACTI D51 compatible POE IP Cameras. They are powered by a POE switch, which connects them to the control box Ethernet port as well.

For configuration the cameras have a web interface. The factory ones need to be configured to match the one you have with you. The IP address of the control box is 1.1.1.9

The IP of the cameras needs to be configured to 1.1.1.1 for the first, 1.1.1.2 for the 2nd and 1.1.1.3 for the third. In the control box config (/etc/em.conf), set the correct number of cameras. If the camera quantity is set incorrectly, your user interface will show the wrong number of screens, and will flash periodically in an attempt to recover the nonexistant cameras.

The codec and resolution stuff should match your current camera. We do have screenshots of it somewhere but you have the camera to copy paste from too. The control box itself configures the camera framerate over a REST api.

You might want to connect a camera to your router or switch and view that from your laptop before you go. You'll have to set your laptop's LAN IP to 1.1.1.8 or similar and netmask to 255.255.255.0 . A gateway IP setting is not needed as your 1.1.1 network won't have internet.
