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.

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 Harrier IP camera interface board can be configured to receive a low latency 60Hz video and convert it to a 30Hz video, reducing the latency, network bandwidth and recording space required.

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.

On board magnetics for 10/100/1G Ethernet support.

The Ethernet connection board connects to the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board via a 24-way FFC/FPC that also carries power to the Harrier IP Camera Interface Board (and any camera connected to it).

On the Harrier PoE Connection Board (AS-CIB-IP-IFPOE-001-A) the PoE power delivery board is an isolated, regulated, DC-DC converter with an output of 12V, an input range of 37-57V DC, a typical efficiency of 84% and full 2250 Volt DC isolation. The board is PoE class 0 IEEE 802.3af compliant powered device with input undervoltage lockout and output current limit.

To guarantee optimal heat dissipation, a heatsink is attached to the Harrier PoE Connection Board.
