The AVerMedia LX5000 is adaptable and flexible allowing the

administrator to customize the system based on various trigger events.

These events trigger a variety of action responses necessary to record

information and notify the responsible personnel.

The AVerMedia

LX5000 employs a user-friendly operating interface and requires

minimal maintenance. Intelligent programming reduces the need for

manual operation and therefore minimizes the human error factor.

The AVerMedia LX5000 system has been especially designed to allow for

future enhancements in addition to maintaining interfaces necessary to

integrate with legacy surveillance equipment. Taking advantage of

today’s sophisticated communication technology, the AVerMedia LX5000

Most PTZ cameras use RS-485 as the communications protocol

but most motherboards use RS-232 serial ports. If this is the

case, you need to purchase an RS-232 to RS-485 converter.

Modem

List of modems supported:

• Lucent Venus Serial Voice Modem

• Rockwell (Connexant) chipset Voice Modem

• Topic chipset Voice Modem

• Zyxel Omni56K Voice Modem

(if a modem is to be used with in the

AVerMedia LX5000 server, it needs to be an

external modem)

If you purchase the AVerMedia LX5000 kit, and you run out of

external COM ports for the speed dome camera, you can use a

10-pin to DB-9 ribbon cable (included with package) with the internal

COM header on the motherboard. First, plug the 10-pin connector into

the internal COM header. Then screw the DB-9 connector into the I/O

bracket (also included in the packaging). Finally use the screws to

attach the I/O bracket to your chassis. You can now connect your

speed dome cameras. See the following figure.

4.1 Entering the System

Before you start running LX5000 system, the system will perform a

routine hardware check-up and scan all hard disks. In general, the hard

disk scan takes only a few seconds. But if the hard disk was abnormally

shutdown or had been damaged, the system will do a complete scan.

The scan time is dependent on the hard disk size. (with a complete scan,

it takes about 1 minute to scan 30GB).

For Select Language, you can select from

English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified

Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Polish,

and Czech.

If you re-installed your LX5000 system and forgot your

previous password, you can choose to remove the previous

password setting when the first time you enter the system after the re-

installation.

Chapter 7 AVerMedia FAQs

1. Q: What is the limit for the length of the camera cable that is used

to connect the camera to the LX5000 system?

A: The maximum length is 150m for 5C coaxial cables. If a longer

cable is needed, a repeater is required.

2. Q: What is the file size for each recorded image?

A: The LX5000 system takes advantage of the most recent JPEG

compression technology that reduces the size of a 320x240

image to 6~16K, depending on the image quality.

3. Q: What should I do when the hard disk runs out of space?

A: LX5000 system uses auto-recycle processing which allows the

system to continue in the event of a full disk by overwriting the

older data.

4. Q: Can I use B/W cameras and color cameras together?

A: Yes, you are allowed to concurrently use both on the LX5000

system as long as they are NTSC or PAL compliant.

5. Q: Apart from recording, what else can the LX5000 system do

when an unauthorized person enters an office after hours? How

can I take immediate action?

A: The LX5000 system can be configured to call you via the phone

system sending you pre-recorded voice messages. If you want

to investigate the premises, you can easily remotely log into the

LX5000 system through the Internet and retrieve synchronous

images from the LX5000 system. You will be asked to identify

yourself with your ID and password.

6. Q: What is the display rate when remotely viewing images?

A: It really depends on the bandwidth of your Internet connection.

Normally the frame rate is 1~5 fps with a LAN, 1~3 fps with

ADSL, and less than 1 fps with a modem.

7. Q: Why can’t I add a new mask?

Appendix A Registering Domain Name on

DDNS Server

A: You cannot add a new mask when previous masks are hidden.

8. Q: Do you offer a development kit for the LX5000 system?

A: We will provide Center SDK in the near future.

9. Q: Does LX5000 system record audio?

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service), a data query service chiefly

used on Internet for translating domain names into Internet addresses.

It is allowed the remote clients intelligently search dynamic servers

without any previous enquiring for servers’ Internet addresses.

A: Not for the moment, but the audio functionality is in

development.

10. Q: How can I back up files?

In order to take advantage of the intelligent service, please first register

your domain name on the website: ddns.avers.com.tw

A: You can mount the backup hard disk or RAID disk array through

Adaptec’s SCSI card.

11. Q: Why it does it always record when I use a B/W camera

configured with motion detection mode?

User Login

Browse the website ddns.avers.com.tw with Microsoft IE or

Netscape Navigator to access the following dialogue.

A: The motion detection sensitivity in the Recording Setup page

defaults to a color camera. You need to change the camera type

to be a B/W camera.

12. Q: Why does the camera name disappear from the screen?

A: Simply click on the camera name (upper left corner) again and it

will show up.

13. Q: Are there any special considerations when using RAID to back

up my files?

First input the serial number of your product and select the

product name. Then click OK to login or Reset to clear the

previous input.

A: Remember to terminate the SCSI chain with a terminator. Also

when you change the number of the hard disks, or when you

swap them, you need to reset the system configuration or

format the hard disk.
