The EdgeVis HD-IP150 is a compact and robust device designed for fixed installations, primarily for recording and live streaming video from a single IP camera. It features integral TVI streaming capabilities, utilizing an internal 4G modem, an external Wi-Fi adapter, or a wired LAN connection. The device also supports archiving onto a built-in SSD/HDD.

Function Description

The primary function of the HD-IP150 is to act as an encoder, capturing video from an IP camera and streaming it to an EdgeVis Server, which then makes it available to EdgeVis Clients. It supports continuous recording or recording triggered by an alarm. The unit can be configured to automatically overwrite old recordings or stop when the storage is full.

Usage Features

Initial Setup:

Package Contents: EdgeVis HD-IP150 encoder, AC/DC 12V power supply, mains power lead, 2 × 3G/4G antennas, GPS antenna, USB Wi-Fi adapter, and a Quick Start Guide.
Architecture: Requires access to an EdgeVis Server with an account created for the encoder.
SIM Card Insertion: Involves removing four fixing screws from the bottom plate, lifting the plate, removing a thermal pad, detaching the modem card by removing two screw fixings, pushing the SIM card holder frame, placing the SIM card, closing and locking the holder, reinstalling the modem and thermal pad, and closing the unit. ESD precautions are recommended.
Antenna Connection: Connect 3G/4G cellular and GPS antennas to the front of the unit.
Powering On/Off: Connect the AC/DC adapter output to the DC input connector on the back. The unit can be remotely powered on/off using a switch connected to the Remote Power Switch Connector.

Configuration:

Web Interface: Communication methods (cellular, Wi-Fi, wired LAN) are set up using the HD-IP150 web-interface "Comms Settings" page.
IP Camera Connection: Connect IP cameras to the LAN ports using standard Ethernet cables. Cameras should have their own power supply.
Network Settings: Network settings for SIM card Mobile Network Service Provider are entered during device setup.
Firmware Updates: Firmware can be updated remotely via the EdgeVis Server web interface, locally via the encoder's web interface, or by copying firmware to a USB flash drive and inserting it into a USB port on the front of the unit.

Status Indicators:

LEDs: Status LEDs on the top left of the front panel provide visual feedback:
- Storage: Inactive (off), reading/writing (flashing), N/A (on).
- 3G/4G: Modem not powered (off), modem powered/connected/transferring data (flashing), modem powered but not transferring data (on).
- Power: System off (off), N/A (flashing), System on (on).

Maintenance Features

Software Updates:

Firmware: New software releases are available for download from the EdgeVis support site.
Update Methods:
- Remote: Upload firmware to the "Firmware" tab in the EdgeVis Server web interface, then select "Upgrade Firmware" from the "Select Action" menu on the desired encoder.
- Local Web Interface: Use the "Upgrade Firmware" option when logged into the encoder's local web interface.
- USB Flash Drive: Copy firmware to a USB flash drive, insert it into a USB port (can be done while running or before power-up). The update takes ~10 seconds, followed by four beeps. If the update fails, the encoder will beep continually.
