4 Operation the TeleObserver TO1200

The operation of the TeleObserver takes place by re mote control via the Central Station. A direct operation of the TeleObserver is not neces sary.

4.1 Power Supply

Connect the delivered power supply unit to the DC connector and then to the power supply system. As

soon as the TeleObserver is connected, the blue power-LED lights up and the device is ready for

use.The power supply unit allows an AC voltage of 100 - 240V; 50/60Hz.

The TO1200 GSM and TO1200 GPRS/CDMA can be directly operated by means of 12V car power. A

suitable connector cable is available as accessory. For the operation with 24V car power a standard

commercial 24V to 12V DC converter is additionally needed.

4.2 Connection of the Video Cameras

All commercial available video, surveillance and industrial cameras with analog standard video output

signal (CVBS) can be connected to the TeleObserver. For this purpose use the video

inputs IN 1…4. In the TeleObserver, Camera 1 is by default the one whose images are immediately

shown after a connection is established.

Recommendation: If you connect less than 4 cameras, we recommend to start with video input IN1.

4.3 Connection of the Antenna (GPRS/CDMA Devices)

Any standard GSM antenna with a FME plug can be connected to the TeleObserver. Connect the

FME plug with the antenna connector of the TeleObserver and align the antenna with the nearest

transmitting station. For a good transmission quality it is better to place the antenna outdoors. Test the

quality of the transmission with a mobile radio device with a field force display.

Connect the modem in question to the TeleObserver with a serial cable (see also section 4.13).


16

4.9 GPRS Connection (only TO1200 GPRS/CDMA)

4.9.1 GPRS Connection via DR.TOX Registry Server

In most cases the TeleObserver and the Central Station works with dynamical IP-addresses. A registry

server will be used to administrate these IP-addresses. With each log in to the GPRS network the

devices send their current IP-addresses to the DR.TOX registry server. If a connection is to be estab-

lished, the transmitting device gets the IP-address of the receiving device from the DR.TOX registry

server. The DResearch company operates an own DR.TOX registry server which can be used for

GPRS connections.

For detailed information about the DResearch registry server please contact our sales team (E-Mail:

[email protected]).

Input of the Registry Server Address

The IP-address of the registry server must be saved in the TeleObserver and in the CMS.

See also section 6.12. Connection Configuration in the TeleObserver

The TeleObserver can establish an alarm connection or a timer connection to the Central Station.

Choose in the dialogs "Alarm parameter " and "Timer " the protocol type "TOX" if the registry server

should be used. Enter in the field "Number/Address" the station name of the Central Station.

Connection Configuration in the CMS

When using the registry server, choose in the host settings, field "Protocol/device ", the entry TCP/IP

TOX and enter in the field "Serial number " the serial number of the TeleObserver. In the lower dialog

area, field "Own station name " enter a unique name for the Central Station.

See also section 7.1.4.

4.9.2 Direct GPRS Connection

To establish a direct GPRS connection between the TeleObserver and the Central Station both

devices must have a fixed and public IP-address.

It may happen that your network provider receives a nd buffers IP connections without the host being really available. It may take several minutes until the device detects this behavior.


17

Connection Configuration in the TeleObserver

To establish a GPRS connection from the TeleObserver to the Central Station the IP-address of the

Central Station may be entered in two different dialogs, depending on the wished connection type. For

an alarm connection, enter the IP-address in the dialog "Alarm Parameter ", field "Number/Address" .

For a timer connection enter the IP-address in the dialog "Timer ", field

"Telephone number/Address ". In both dialogs select in the field "Protocol " the type TCP.

Connection Configuration in the CMS

The IP-address of the TeleObserver will be set in the CMS module SystemManagement , dialog

Hosts .

4.10 Connection of Audio Devices (TO1200 GSM, TO120 0 ISDN)

Different audio devices, like a headset (special accessory) or a vehicle hands-free speaking system,

can be connected to the audio connector of the TeleObserver.

4.10.1 Indications for the Audio function of the TO 1200 GSM

The use of the audio connector requires the SIM card of the TeleObserver TO1200 GSM to have a

voice number as well.

Only one TeleObserver number can be called; either the data number to transmit video data, or the voice number, to transmit speech.


18

4.11 Multifunctional Interface (Control)

With the control interface you can use the following TeleObserver features:

� two actuators Universal potential-free actuators (converters), to be used, for instance, to activate remote systems. The actuators can be activated while a connection is currently running, by clicking on the symbols in the tree in the CMS module "Vision ".

� six detector inputs Detectors 1 - 5 can be remotely configured as normally closed or normally open. Detector 6 is configured as normally open. It can be used to connect the TeleObserver to an ac-tive/inactive – switch.

The systems and detectors can be connected to the TeleObserver by means of the "plug set for detec-

tor/actuator connection". The detectors are activated in the CMS, module "SystemManagement" (see

section 7.2.12).

4.11.1 Functional Connector Pin Out of Detector Inp uts

� Detector 1-5: "Alarm detector"

� Camera assignment: freely selectable cameras 1-4

4.13 Connection of an External Modem

An external modem can be connected to the TeleObserver using the serial interface "COM 1" (8). In

the model TO1200 DX the serial interface "COM 2" (12) serves the same purpose.

The external modem has to use the AT command set. All modem settings (transfer protocol, parame-

ters) are to be stored as standard values.

For questions concerning the installation and line-up of your modem, please read the modem manual.

Procedure:

� Connect the serial interface (12) of the TeleObserver with that of the external modem by means of a modem connecting cable.

� Connect the external modem to the telephone network.

� Switch on the external modem.

� Connect the TeleObserver to the power supply.

5 Operating Modes of the TeleObserver

5.1 Video Transmission

The data transfer can be triggered by any of the following actions:

� a video transmission was started by the Central Monitoring Software

� the transmission was started by the alarm of the TeleObserver

The device is activated and sends data to the Central Station, which stores them.

A time shift can occur between the image recording and the display on the Central Monitoring

Software due, for instance, to interference during the transmission or to the duration of the connection

setup.

5.2 Stand-by Mode

The Central Monitoring Software is in stand-by mode and waits for incoming calls from the

TeleObserver.

5.3 Alarm Situation

Whenever the pre-alarm archive is being used, the TeleObserver records continuously into a ring

archive. It is possible to configure the size of the archive as well as the video parameters. If an exter-

nal alarm is signalled by one of the connected and activated sensors then the relevant area (configur-

able) of the ring archive will be blocked.

At the same time, the modem will call the predefined numbers one after the other until a connection to

the Central Station is established. The TeleObserver will continue to record until the connection to the

Central Station is achieved.

The TeleObserver can temporarily store data for some minutes, depending on the defined alarm bit

rate. After the connection is established, the current situation will be shown. The stored pre-

alarm/alarm pictures can be separately retrieved through the software module "ImageFinder". The

images from the pre-alarm/alarm memory can be retrieved as many times as needed. The alarm

memory will be deleted by any of the following actions:

� Deleting in the ImageFinder

� Switching of detector 5 (if configured)

� Disconnecting the TeleObserver


21

5.4 Audio Transmission

With the audio function of the TeleObserver it is possible to listen to all conversations and noises in
