432-0007-00-28-en-US v100 Integration with NMEA Devices – Application Note

Geo-Referencing of the Sensors

The Camera Server and the Radar Server can each have a georeference location. When the camera is

installed on a vessel, the location information can come from a GPS and gyrocompass and the information

is available as NMEA data directly from those devices or through the radar device. For port/harbor

applications where the location of the camera is fixed, the location and heading information can be

statically entered into the camera configuration.

The Camera Server can have a different georeference location and heading than the Radar Server, but

typically they are associated with each other, with an offset if they are in different locations on a larger

ship. It is recommended that the Radar Server is configured to receive the live location information, and

the Camera Server georeference can be associated with the Radar Server georeference.

Camera Configuration

The factory configuration already contains most of the configuration settings that are necessary for

integration with a radar. If the factory default IP address is used (192.168.250.116) for the camera, it is not

necessary to make any changes to the Camera Server configuration. In this example, the camera IP address

is changed from the factory default to 192.168.250.98, and therefore it is necessary to make some

additonal configuration changes.

In particular, the camera has a Radar Interface Module that is configured with the IP address and port

number of the Radar Server. In this example the Radar Interface IP address is changed to match the

Camera Server IP address (the Port number 1002 is unchanged).

To view or modify the settings, log in with a web browser and select Maintenance > Modules > Radar

Interface.
