The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board is fitted with a standard micro-SD socket (J5) that can accept cards of up to 512GB. There is also a 12-way 0.5mm pitch FFC connector (J6) to enable connection to external/remote SD card sockets.

ONVIF Profile S, IPv4/v6, HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, RTP, TCP, UDP, RTCP, ICMP, DHCP

The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board is fitted with a 10-way 0.8mm pitch connector to enable connection to a PELCO controller and mono microphone.

When connected to a suitable power supply the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board will boot and then power-up the camera. Once the camera has initialized it will start transmitting an LVDS video stream; the camera interface board will compress the video (H.264), convert it to RTP format, and broadcast it from the Ethernet port. Any RTP/ONVIF compatible application (e.g. VLC player or GStreamer) can then receive and display the video. ONVIF services can be used to control the camera and video stream settings.

When the interface board is connected to the network, any ONVIF compatible application, such as the ONVIF Device Manager (https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/), can be used to discover the IP address of the board/camera and control the camera/video settings.

The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board platform supports an RTSP server for streaming video and the ONVIF profile S standard for camera control. The RTSP/ONVIF servers enables connected host devices to receive and control the H.264 video stream.
ONVIF is a SOAP webservice that standardizes the network interface for network video products. The ONVIF services include the following areas:

IP configuration
Device discovery
Device management
H.264 encoder configuration
Camera control
The ONVIF and RTSP services can be consumed from many programming languages and several software frameworks already exist to use those services. Find more information in the datasheet of the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board.

The camera video mode and H.264 compression parameters can be managed using the ONVIF media service. The ONVIF Imaging service enables any ONVIF-compliant third-party software/application to control the camera settings.

However, most AF-zoom block cameras have many more settings than those available through the ONVIF Imaging service. These additional settings are usually managed using VISCA commands sent over a serial interface. The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board supports direct serial communication with cameras; applications can access this serial interface via the ONVIF DeviceIO service.

The RS-485 VISCA service enables direct control/VISCA communication with the block camera from an external host attached to the RS-485 port of the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board.

The RS-485 VISCA service runs at start-up; when connected it receives data from the RS-485 port and will forward valid VISCA messages to the block camera (VISCA address 0x81), or to the Harrier IP board (VISCA address 0x82). When running, the RS-485 VISCA service has full ownership of the RS-485 port; this means that other services (e.g. ONVIF DeviceIO calls) cannot use the RS-485 port while the service is active.

Find more information in the datasheet for the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board (download tab).

The SD card interface supports all standard micro SD cards (up to 512GB) and operates them in SDR25 mode. High data rates that come with UHS II cards are not supported and UHS II cards will operate in UHS I modes (lower data rate).
The SD card can be used to store recordings of the camera video.

If your Harrier IP interface board supports Wi-Fi it will have a wireless module fitted and will have a serial number that starts with 724. The title of the Harrier IP Website will also indicate that the board has Wireless/Wi-Fi support.

To receive Wi-Fi signals there must be at least one antenna fitted to the wireless module. The antennae fit to the small microcoaxial MHF4 connectors (A and B) on the module. The connection to a wireless network is achieved using the Wireless page on the Harrier IP Website. On the Wireless page you can scan for available wireless networks, select a suitable network/SSID and enter the password. The Harrier IP will then connect to the network and update the Wi-Fi status on the page. The network SSID and password will be stored and used next time the Harrier IP is powered up. Only one SSID and password is stored.

The wireless network you connect to must be running a DHCP server as, by default, the Harrier IP wireless connection is set to obtain its IP address from a DHCP server. This can be changed by accessing the Harrier IP Website, opening the ‘Network Setting’ web page, selecting the wireless interface, changing the appropriate settings and then clicking on Select. When setting fixed IP addresses please ensure that the address is correct and that you have a note of it before changing it, as it can be very difficult to locate a device at an unknown/incorrect IP address.
Note: when you click on ‘Submit’ the IP address will change and you will need to use the new address to access steaming video and the Harrier IP Website.

An Evaluation Kit for Harrier IP is available. This kit enables fast and effective evaluation and testing of the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board, and IP cameras based on this interface board.

The board is available in two versions, the Harrier Ethernet Connection Board (AS-CIB-IP-IFETH-001-A) and the Harrier PoE Connection Board (AS-CIB-IP-IFPOE-001-A); the latter allowing Power over Ethernet.

The Ethernet/PoE connection board can be mounted on the back of a camera, or stacked on top of the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board. See product image and views of the boards mounted in the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board datasheet (download tab).
