Building security video subsystem with the use of Stretch (VRC6004, VRC6008, VRC6416) video capture cards one can install Sensor-Relay cards in order to connect external sensors and executive devices (relays) to the Server.
Connect Sensor-Relay card as follows:
Change the SW1 switch on the Sensor-Relay card in accordance with the table.
Sensor-Relay card | SW1 (1) | SW1 (2) |
Sensor-Relay card 1 | OFF | OFF |
Sensor-Relay card 2 | ON | OFF |
If sensors need power supply (active sensors), then set the J6 jumper to 2 and 3 contacts, otherwise – to 1 and 2 contacts (passive sensors).
The SW2 switch is used for the RS485 interface configuration. |
- Make sure that the power of computer is off.
- Connect the Sensor-Relay card to the vodeo capture card with the help of a loop bundled with the distribution kit. The loop is connected to the J1 and J2 connectors (see Appendix 5. Video capture cards pins section).
- If it is necessary connect one more Sensor-Relay card. Connect the loop to the J3 connector on the first and second Sensor-Relay card.
- Install the Sensor-Relay card into a vacant motherboard slot and fix it in the casing.
- Connect sensors and relays in accordance with the pinout of external pin of the Sensor-Relay card.
Sensor-Relay card is now connected.
