Precautions

Operating or storage location

Operating or storing the unit in the following locations
may cause damage to the unit:
• Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature:

C to 40

C [32

F to 104

F])

• Exposed in direct sunlight for a long time, or close to

heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)

• Close to sources of strong magnetism
• Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic

radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters

• Locations subject to strong vibration or shock

Ventilation

To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation
around the unit.

Transportation

When transporting the unit, repack it as originally
packed at the factory or in materials equal in quality.

Cleaning

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of

the unit. Stubborn stains can be removed using a soft
cloth dampened with a small quantity of detergent
solution, then wipe dry.

• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene

or thinners as they may damage the surface finishes.

On moisture condensation

If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm
location, or if ambient temperature suddenly rises,
moisture may form on the outer surface of the unit and/
or inside of the unit. This is known as condensation. If
condensation occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the
condensation clears before operating the unit. Operating
the unit while condensation is present may damage the
unit.

On parts life expectancy

The life expectancy of the AC adapter and the
electrolytic capacitor is about 5 years under normal
operating temperatures and normal usage (8 hours per
day; 25 days per month). If usage exceeds the above
normal usage frequency, the life expectancy may be
reduced correspondingly.

Overview

Features

Operate up to 112 cameras

by using the IP

connection

You can operate up to 112 cameras by using a
commercially available switching hub. The cameras can
be operated by up to five IP remote controllers
connected to the network*

By using the supplied setup software, you can set the IP
addresses of the 112 cameras and five IP remote
controllers from your PC.

*1 Supported cameras: BRC-H900/Z330 with the

optional BRBK-IP10 IP control card inserted, BRC-
Z700 with the optional BRBK-IP7Z IP control card
inserted, SRG-300H, SRG-120DH. (As of January
2014)

*2 The network should be independent from other

systems and networks. When controlling a camera
that is on a network of a different segment via a
router, that network also should be independent.
Using on a line with a packet loss or delay may cause
a malfunction. Do not connect to the network that
uses a public network, such as the internet.
Do not have more than 112 cameras, 5 IP remote
controllers, one PC for setting, connected with the IP
connection.
The router is compatible with the IP remote
controller with the firmware version 2.1 or higher,
and BRBK-IP10/IP7Z optional card with the
firmware version 2.1 or higher.

Compatible with VISCA RS-232C/RS-422

You can select the one communication method from the
IP, RS-232C, or RS-422 connection.
The unit can control up to seven cameras when the
VISCA RS-232C/RS-422 connection is selected.

*3 Supported cameras: BRC-H900, BRC-Z700,

BRC-Z330, SRG-300H, SRG-120DH (SRG-120DH
is not compatible with the RS-422 connection). (As
of January 2014)

Note

You cannot use the multiple communication methods
simultaneously.
