directly into your router using an Ethernet cable, or you can use the PLC modules as shown
in the diagram. Connect the AC power adapter to the camera, as well.
INTRODUCTION ///
The
XG1000 Gateway
is a small dedicated computer. It allows you to access and control
cameras and other devices in your home, and make this information available to you wherever
you are. You can access the XG1000 from any PC (must be running Windows XP or 2000) with
an internet connection anywhere in the world. You can even use the XG1000 from your cell phone.
You only need to use a PC to set up your XG1000. From then on, no PC is required for the
XG1000 to function.
During setup, you will use your PC to access the Gateway control pages through a web browser
interface. Once it is set up, you can access your cameras and other devices through a remote
service account web site. For security reasons, both the Gateway and Remote Account are protected
with ID’s and Passwords.
Once the Gateway is installed, most of the interaction with the system will be done through
the remote service. You will use a standard internet browser to access this web site. This can be
on the same PC that you used to set the system up, or any other PC that has an internet connection.
No special software is required other than a browser plug-in to view live video, which installs
automatically the first time you use it.
The system uses IP cameras. These are devices that communicate through normal internet cabling.
If you do not wish to run new Ethernet wiring in your home, you can use Power Line Communication
modules (PLC’s) to use the existing power outlets in your home, instead.
In addition to the cameras, you can also use sensor modules in your home to monitor temperature,
detect a door or window opening, wet conditions and motion. These are battery powered devices
that communicate wirelessly with the Gateway. You can even turn lights and appliances on and off,
by purchasing optional power controllers.
WITH YOUR REMOTE ACCOUNT YOU CAN:
■
View Live Video
■
Check Device Status
■
Arm and Disarm Devices
■
Set Up Rules to Perform Actions Based on
Events or Time of Day
■
Record Snapshots and Video Clips
■
Review Archived Events
If you have a JAVA enabled cell phone, you can access most
of the Gateway functions remotely through the phone.
You need to download an application to your phone
to do this. Other cell phones can receive text notifications,
but cannot view live video or control devices.
