The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board is connected to the main camera module by a 100mm KEL cable. The corresponding connector on the camera interface board is the same 30-way miniature connector that carries camera LVDS video signals.

The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board is fitted with a 12-way 0.5mm pitch FFC connector (J3) to enable connection to external/remote SD card sockets.

The Harrier Ethernet/PoE Connection Board is fitted with a 24-way 0.5mm pitch vertical FFC connector (with clamp – J1) for connection to a Harrier IP Camera Interface Board.

The Harrier Ethernet/PoE Connection Board is fitted with a 4-way JST connector (J3) for connection to an external power supply. The same supply will also power the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board via J1.

The power for the Harrier PoE Connection Board (AS-CIB-IP-IFPOE-001-A) can be supplied via this socket, or from the Ethernet connection and the on-board PoE power converter.

A Harrier IP interface solution is usually composed of two boards – a SoC processing board (AS-CIP-IP-SOC-001-A) and an Ethernet connection board (AS-CIP-IP-IFETH-001-A).  These two boards are connected by an FFC cable and can be mounted directly on to a block camera or stacked on top of each other.  The boards are available separately, as a set or mounted on a camera (see product image).

A version of the SoC board that supports wireless connectivity is also available (AS-CIP-IP-SOC-002-A).  There are also two versions of the connection board, the Harrier Ethernet Connection Board (AS-CIP-IP-IFETH-001-A) and a Power over Ethernet enabled version, the Harrier PoE Connection Board (AS-CIP-IP-IFPOE-001-A).

By default, the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board is automatically assigned an IP address using DHCP, but it can be set to a fixed IP address using the Harrier IP Website or the ONVIF Device Management Service.

When setting fixed IP addresses please ensure that the address is correct and that you make a record of the new address before making the changes as it can be very difficult to locate a device at an unknown/incorrect IP address.

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.

Function GetSerialPorts() is used to query the list of available serial ports. The Harrier IP has two ports.

• SERIAL_PORT_000: this port is connected to the block camera (VISCA communication).
• SERIAL_PORT_001: this port is connected to the RS-485 port on connector J7.

Function SendReceiveSerialCommand() is used to send and receive data to the ports.

This function allows applications to send, and optionally receive, data to/from the camera. Please refer to the ONVIF DeviceIO specification for the complete documentation of this function. This means that all camera features supported by the VISCA protocol can be controlled by the end application over the Ethernet interface. For examples, please refer to the Harrier IP Example Software. For more information on VISCA control and camera features, please refer to the documentation for your camera.

The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board is able to superimpose graphics and text on the live video stream. For an example of how this can be done please see the Harrier IP Example Software.

The Harrier IP Example Software from Active Silicon contains sample application code that shows how to use the ONVIF services for adding text and graphical overlays to the live video stream and sending VISCA commands to the camera to enable full camera control.

The Harrier IP Camera Interface Board supports direct RS-485 serial communication with external devices. Applications can access the serial port via the ONVIF DeviceIO service.
Function GetSerialPorts() is used to query the list of available serial ports. The Harrier IP has two ports.

SERIAL_PORT_000: this port is connected to the block camera (VISCA communication).
SERIAL_PORT_001: this port is connected to the RS-485 port on connector J7.
Function SendReceiveSerialCommand() is used to send and receive data to the port.
This function allows applications to send, and optionally receive, data to/from RS-485 devices attached to the RS-485 port. Please refer to the ONVIF DeviceIO specification for the complete documentation of this function. For serial port examples, please refer to the Harrier IP Example Software.

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 cameras based on this interface board.
