DESCRIPTION
The IPG-1 Camera Guard monitors the communication path of IP camera data signals.
This supervisory system will identify the loss of any video data signal due to removal of the
camera, loss of power to the camera, a camera cable disconnect, or a defective camera output.
The IPG-1 continuously displays the "Data on" condition of one IP camera with an L.E.D.
indicator for the camera channel and relay contact output for external alarms. Use it to monitor
your IP cameras and shut down un-attended gas pumps if the IP camera is tampered with.
A normally Open or Normally Closed Alarm contact is provided to send an alarm or
activate equipment when loss of data occurs. This contact is field programmable for Normally
Open or Normally Closed contact operation. Connect this unit to a local alarm panel to alert
monitor personnel that a camera is being tampered with or send a message to a remote site by
connecting the alarm output to external dialing equipment. It can be used to shut down
equipment such as gas pumps when the IP video fails.
The IPG-1 will identify tampering or failure of cameras when it occurs, reducing the
liability associated with extended and undetected loss of area security when cameras are
rendered inoperative without notification. The IPG-1 increases the level of security provided by
the IP video camera.
The IPG-1 Camera Guard can be connected anywhere between the camera and the
Monitor equipment in the IP video data path. You can connect it near the IP camera to activate a
local alarm or at the monitor location to alert guard personal and automatically shut down
equipment. The "High Impedance Loop through Input" will not affect the data or picture quality of
the video signal even if the power fails. The unit detects the loss of data communication between
the IP camera and the monitor location for any reason such as power loss at the camera or
camera failure, broken, shorted or disconnected wire cables and tampering of any kind.
Use this unit in any IP video installation that requires guaranteed continuous video
monitoring. Use the IPG-1 to monitor the camera in sensitive areas like loading docks or any
area subject to the unauthorized movement of product or stock. Or use it to determine if you
have an intermittent failure problem in any IP video system. The IPG-1 has an easy mounting
flange that will mount to any surface with just two screws and is supplied with a 24 VDC power
cube.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The rugged one piece mounting structure allows you to mount the unit firmly in place with
two screws. Select a place to mount the unit away from harsh or wet environments indoors is
recommended. The IPG-4 should be located near the monitor equipment or anywhere along the
path of the IP video signal. Select a position that gives you the best access to cable the system
and reduce the labor in installation.
HOW TO CABLE THE IPG-1
Attach the cable coming from the camera to one of the IP Video 8P8C (RJ-45)
connectors. The connector pair loops through so you can use either one for the input or output.
Then attach a cable from the other IP Video 8P8C (RJ-45) connector to the monitor equipment.
