Introduction
This manual describes the function, installation and operation of the VCS multimedia
modems
NetCam1
NetCam1E
NetCam6
NetCamPlus.
The term ’NetCam’ is used throughout the course of this manual as far as relating to
functions or characteristics, which are commonly shared by all products.
NetCam represents a transmission system for video, audio, data and control signals
between a monitoring terminal and one or more transmission units. The medium used
for transmission of the coded data includes the public ISDN telephone network (via
the built-in terminal adapter), the analog telephone network (using external modems),
and wireless networks such as GSM. Latest compression algorithms for video and au-
dio signals in combination with VLSI technology facilitate a swift transmission of high
quality video and audio from the sender to a receiving unit. Compliance to the world-
wide H.320 standard guarantees communication with any picturephone or videocon-
ferencing unit.
NetCam1 comes in two variants: transmitter and receiver. The transmitter features
one video channel, e.g. to connect a video camera, and one alarm input and relay out-
put, respectively. The NetCam1E receiver decodes incoming data for display on a
standard monitor.
NetCam6 comprises a combination of sender and receiver. The system features six
video channels, a monitor output and seven alarm inputs and relay outputs.
NetCamPlus comprises a combination of a CCD-camera and a NetCam1 transmitter
in a compact self-contained unit and represents a so-called ISDN-camera.
All NetCam video/ audio/ data transmission systems are compact, stand-alone units
which, in addition to the already mentioned interfaces, contain full-duplex audio inter-
faces, two serial interfaces (a single serial interface for NetCamPlus) and feature an
internal ISDN terminal adapter.
NetCam features full-duplex (transparent) RS232 ports which enable transparent
transmission of user data over the same ISDN line that also carries video and audio
data. This data channel can be used for control of external peripheral devices such
as cross bars, pan/tilt-camera heads, zoom lenses, video recorder, entry control
