6.4 Installing Cameras
N2KView is designed to display data from IP cameras produced by AXIS
Communications. The cameras are connected to the computer running N2KView
via Ethernet. While all Axis cameras are supported, the following cameras have
been thoroughly tested by Maretron.
- Axis 212 PTZ Network Camera. This is a wall-mounted camera with software pan
Tilt and Zoom.
- Axis 215 PTZ Network Camera. This is a sophisticated camera with hardware
Pan Tilt and Zoom. It requires a 12V power supply which is supplied with the
camera.
- Axis P3301 Fixed Dome Network Camera
- Axis Single Video Server 241S
- Axis Quad Video Server 241Q
- Axis Q7401 Video Encoder
- Axis Quad Video Server 240Q
- Axis M3113 Network Camera
- Axis M3114 Network Camera
- If any other Axis Network Camera or Video Server is used, N2KView will not
know which picture sizes are valid for the camera, and you will need to enter the
value manually.
- USB Camera (limited functionality)
The video servers allow the connection of analog cameras to the video server
using co-axial cable, which then serves the video to N2KView via Ethernet. The
cameras require a separate 12V power supply.
Connection of IP cameras requires knowledge of computer networks to allocate
an address to the cameras. The camera is identified by N2KView by this address
(see 8.5 for more information). In simple networks, this address (the IP address)
can be permanently set inside the camera; in more complex networks a server
can dynamically allocate the IP address to the camera, and the camera
addressed though it’s name.. The software and installation manual supplied by
Axis Communications must be used to set up the camera’s address.
