14 Video and Cameras
N2KView version 2.5 introduces a video component that may be used to monitor
cameras connected to the N2KView computer using the ship’s Ethernet network.
The NMEA2000 bus is not used to transfer the camera video streams or to
control the cameras.
Video Monitoring requires the optional Video Module to be licensed.
Having the video display embedded within N2KView has the advantage that the
user can see the video and the gauges simultaneously, and all the N2KView
Alert monitoring is active, with the active alerts always visible at the bottom of the
screen.
The following IP cameras have been tested with N2KView.
• AXIS 212 PTZ
• AXIS 215 PTZ
• AXIS P3301
• AXIS Q7401
• AXIS M3113 PTZ
• any other AXIS camera supporting the VAPIX™ protocol.
In addition, analog cameras may be connected to an Axis video server, which is
then connected to the N2KView computer using Ethernet.
• AXIS 241S: This is a Single Channel Encoder (Used to convert analog camera
(NTSC, PAL) to Internet Protocol (IP))
• AXIS 240Q: This is a Four Channel Encoder.
• AXIS 241Q: This is a Four Channel Encoder.
Finally, a USB camera may be connected directly to the computer, although this
has limitations. (1)The USB camera must be located close to the computer due
to the limitation on the cable length. (2)The image from the USB camera will only
be available on one screen, and may not be transmitted to another computer.
