No The camera has no power supply The camera is not turned on The video cable is not connected or is defective The control cable is not attached or defective After connection of a camera the Convision S1 must be rebooted Convision S1 Manual What types of cameras can be connected to the Convision S1 What kind of video cable do need to connect the cameras How long can the video cable be What is the focal length of the camera Convision CC1 In what temperature range does the camera function Convision CC1 Although a camera is attached there is no picture How to connect a Convision CC2 camera Security What happens in the event of a power failure Convision S1 Manual Any cameras which have a FBAS PAL output the connector to the Convision S1 is a BNC plug You should use a high quality coaxial cable with low damping 75 Ohm If the power supply of the camera runs via the video cable it should not be longer than 50m If the cable is longer the power supply should be provided separately directly to the camera If the cable is longer than 100m the quality of the video signal may be reduced The maximum length supplied by us is 300m 6mm standard approx 40 opening angle Between 20 C and 50 C The camera has no power supply The video cable is not attached or is defective The control unit can be created via 8 pin mini DIN coupling The image goes through a
3. 12 5 2 Structure of an IP Address The IP address is a binary code with a length of 4 bytes To make this easier to understand the individual bytes are separated by full stops and written as decimal figures Take a look at the following example A computer might have the following IP address 11000000 10101000 01100100 00000010 In decimal notation this address is 192 168 100 2 Convision S1 Manual 63 Every IP address is comprised of a network identification network ID and a host identification host ID This structure is similar to a telephone number which is also divided into an area code and a phone number The difference between phone numbers and IP addresses is that IP addresses will always be the same length The IP addresses are divided into network classes depending on the length of the host ID and network ID The main network classes used A B and C are given in the following figure Network classes D and E are reserved for special purposes The figure illustrates that the smaller network ID the bigger the host ID This means that the number of possible network IDs varies per network class and the number of possible host IDs vary per network 7 Bits 24 Class A 0 NETW HOST 14 16 Class B 11 0 NETW HOST 21 8 Bits Class C 111110 NETW HOST For example network class B contains 16 384 subnets each with 65 534 hosts whilst network class C contains 2 097 154 subnets with 254 hos
