Installation notes

  • technical issue - the camera has a thick cable that comes out of the back plate which then splits into various connectors - s-video, RCA, A reset switch, 12v supply socket and RJ-45 female port. I installed the camera on an external wall of the house and drilled a hole through the double-skin brick wall in order to push the cable through neatly.... problem was the cable (specifically because of the RJ-45 jack) would require a HUGE diameter hole to go through... probably around 40mm. That is a big hole to put in the wall of your house in order to neatly install a camera. I experimented with a number of options but ended up cutting the cable *gasp* and re-soldering and heat-shrinking the individual copper wires on the inside of the wall. Not a great solution but it was done neatly and it works.
  • 12v power supply: the camera comes with a transformer to take 230v AC down to the 12V DC supply required by the camera. I had to install a 230V AC wall socket in my ceiling area in order to plug in the transformer.
  • Wall bracket supplied is not particularly solid, nor or the wall plugs and screws to mount it. Be gentle and careful... it's easier to over-tighten and strip. So far it is still pointing in the right direction despite a few large storms.

EasyN FS-603 Camera and Motion Wrapper

IP cameras can be used under the Motion Wrapper to enable it to detect motion and alert based on that function. I haven't tested or experimented with this feature yet.

To add Motion Wrapper and EasyN Ip Cameras

  • Open your webadmin control panel and on the left pane at the bottom click on "Show Device Tree".
  • In the left pane Click on "core/hybrid".
  • On the right pane near the top, click on "Create Child Device", then leave everything blank and click "Pick Device Template" button.
  • Click the pull down box under "Device Template" and find the template labeled "Motion Wrapper", select this item and click "Pick Device Template"
  • Now on the right pane, click "Create Child Device" again. Enter your IP Cameras IP address and MAC address here, the MAC address is located on a sticker on the back of the camera, then click "Pick Device Template"
  • Click the pull down box under "Device Template" and use "Generic Motion IP Camera", then click "Pick Device Template"
  • Now on the right window pane, under Device Info fill in the following

PATH: /mjpg/video.mjpg
TCP PORT: 80
USERNAME: <username you assigned>
default is "admin" PASSWORD: <password you assigned> default is blank

  • Now click save at the bottom, reload your router, and on your mce interface go to "Security" -> "Generic Motion IP Camera" to see if it's working.
  • I had to reboot my server to get it working.
