1 | Generic RS232 & TCPIP CCTV Systems

This lesson covers the process of adding RS232 or TCPIP camera connections to Bepoz system. About One or more connections to camera systems can be created. These connections can be either RS232 or TCPIP, depending on the type defined A device must be added to the SmartControl workstation for each connection required and set to device type Camera.

This lesson covers the process of adding RS232 or TCPIP camera connections to Bepoz system.

About

• One or more connections to camera systems can be created. These connections can be either RS232 or TCPIP, depending on the type defined
• A device must be added to the SmartControl workstation for each connection required and set to device type Camera. The SmartControl software actually creates the connection and sends the data, so the RS232 cables must be connected to that computer
• If using TCPIP, any firewall must allow SmartControl to create new connections out the port specified in the device screen
• Each Till that must have its transactions sent to the Camera system should have the Camera Device in the workstation screen set to the correct camera device in the drop down list. Multiple Tills can send their data to the same camera device
• This simply sends "receipt style" plain text data to the Serial Port or TCP socket defined
• The TCPIP will attempt to open the socket if not already open, for each transaction, and will keep it open if possible between transactions
• Each Transaction starts with a open bracket "(" and ends with a close bracket ")"
• Any number of Tills can send transactions to the one Camera
• The device settings determine the Serial Port details or IP Address and TCP Port number accordingly
