Introduction This unique and exceptionally versatile MiniBox IV from DTC Communications, a COBHAM Company, is a fourth generation covert video system. A complete product family includes three base packages plus an impressive array of communication options to meet your specific mission and agency requirements. Each base model supports the optional wireless IP-based video surveillance capability. A modular design permits your choice, at time of order, of an appropriate wireless transmission option as well as the additional privacy of an industry recognized firewall router. The design offers you the flexibility to add (or change out) the wireless modem and router modules, up to one each, which extends the life of your investment!

The MiniBox IV RF base models uniquely provide PTZ control via IP Networks and/or (optional) DTMF radio comm links, all packaged in a single covert utility box. Furthermore, these models provide simultaneous video transmissions via (optional) RF and IP based connections. This comprehensive set of PTZ control and video transmission options will satisfy your local agent on the ground, as well as IP network remote viewing & control. They are backwards compatible with existing DTC equipment using DTMF controllers and analog & digital RF video receivers and thus provide the latest IP network connectivity to your surveillance solution set. The digital Palladium models excel in tough urban RF environments with security (AES 128 encryption), narrow band transmission to handle crowded RF bandwith, and diversity and forward error correction to meet the challenges of RF reflectance (multipath fading) and NLOS applications. WARNING: Always verify that you are looking at live video. Network conditions, system resource demands, and other factors can cause the browser window to slow down or freeze. Time lag may vary.

Video Analog video transmission is accomplished by DTCs 2 Watt/5 Watt VMX series video transmitter. These transmitters feature ten user programmable channels, an efficient switching power supply, and low heat generation. Digital video transmission is accomplished by DTCs Palladium video transmitter with an output power of 1 Watt. These transmitters feature COFDM and digital encryption for secure signals in non-line-of-sight environments. IP video is viewed as either JPEG video or MPEG-4, depending on user selection. Power The MiniBox-4 operates on 110 VAC power. A power cord and a wiring block (for hard-wiring) has been provided. MAIN COMPONENTS W A N LOG D W Power Considerations The MiniBox-4 can be powered by any standard 110 VAC, 15 amp NALO branch circuit. A The AC Power Reset provides overcurrent protection for the Minibox-4 system. The AC Breaker Reset provides overcurrent protection for all accessories plugged-into the outlets provided inside the MiniBox-4. Five amps is the total current allowed for all accessories plugged-into the four outlets. BEFORE PLUGGING IN OR CONNECTING POWER TO THE SYSTEM, BE SURE THE PUSH BUTTON ON/OFF SWITCH IS IN THE OFF (OUT) POSITION. HARD WIRING MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR, IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. DTC COMMUNICATIONS, INC. 9 INSTALLATION A N LOG D W MiniBox-4 Front A Viewable Area 10 ft. 6 ft. 10 DTC COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Approx. 10 ft. Site Survey Before installing the MiniBox-4, you should conduct a physical survey of the site where the unit is to be installed. The purpose of the survey is to determine the proper height and position of the unit relative to the primary subject to be observed. You should also consider 110 VAC power availability (and cable or DSL availability if applicable). Determining the optimum position for the MiniBox-

4 involves several considerations including the focal length of the lens, the upper and lower limits of travel, and the distance between the mounting site and the object under surveillance. For rule-of-thumb purposes, you might think of the viewable area this way for a reasonable approximation:

At 10 feet high the blind spot on the ground will be approximately 10 feet inward and the viewable width will be approximately 10 feet out. At 20 feet high the blind spot on the ground will be approximately 20 feet inward and the viewable width will be approximately 20 feet out. Items outside of the Utility Boxs viewable limits will not be visible. See the example at left. A subject close to the bottom of the pole would not be visible to the Utility Box. You should set-up and test the Utility Box at an alternate site but under similar conditions in advance of your mission. This is the best way to ensure that you will know what to expect once you have deployed the Utility Box at the actual surveillance site.

Antenna Options Before installing the MiniBox-4, you should also consider antenna options (if you are using RF analog or digital transmission). You have the choice of using one or two patch antennas. Using both patch antennas with the supplied splitter will provide the largest radiation pattern but at a lower gain. Using one antenna will make the radiation pattern directional, but will typically double the gain, which will increase the signal range in that direction. To configure for one antenna, disconnect the coax from the transmitter at the bottom of the splitter and connect the double-female adapter in its place. Connect the cable from the desired active antenna to the adapter. See illustration top right. To configure for two antennas, disconnect the coax from the transmitter at the double-female adapter and connect the splitter (input) in its place. Connect the cables from both antennas to the splitter (outputs). See illustration bottom right. NOTE: Do NOT remove antenna connections with device powered ON!

Camera Latency: In applications where continuous or frequent camera control commands are sent or if controlling the camera using two sources

(RF TX & WiFi) at the same time, latency may build due to the buffering and processing of these commands. This latency will be observed as the camera being slow or non-responsive to commands. To minimize this effect, DTC recommends controlling the camera with one source at a time and lowering the frame-rate to 5 fps for optimum viewing and operation. WI-FI SETUP WARNING WiFi (802.11g) operates in the S-Band 2.4 GHz. W If your MiniBox-4 is equipped with both WiFi and an S, S2, S3 Band transmitter, the transmitter will cause the WiFi system to be intermittent or inoperable. Use either WiFi or S, S2, S3 Band transmitter, but not both at the same time. WiFi may also suffer from interference if used in close proximity to microwave ovens and cordless phones.

DTC COMMUNICATIONS, INC. 17 OPERATION A N LOG D W Do NOT block airflow to vents at back and bottom of MiniBox-4 18 DTC COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Concealed Camera Ports There are three concealed camera ports on the Utility Box. Each port is disguised with an ELECTRICAL PANEL IN USE label. Keep the label surface clean and free from scuff marks. Make sure nothing blocks this area. A combination of two labels and an interior screen are installed per window. Three additional labels (one per window) are also included in the accessory kit. The installed label set and interior screen will provide the best camera performance while balancing covert appearance issues, such as reflection and light penetration from the other windows. The additional

(accessory bag) labels can be customer-applied if desired. You must be willing to accept some honeycomb effect in the video at lower camera zoom settings in order to cover up the tinted glass area of the windows. Ventilation and Thermal Considerations The Utility Box has a louvered exhaust vent on the back and a wire mesh intake vent on the bottom of the enclosure. A cooling fan is mounted inside of one of these ports. The cooling fan and heater run automatically to keep the MiniBox-4 operating temperature between 20C (-4F) and +50C (122F). Foam mesh filtration protects against water/dirt invasion. Optional Analog and Digital transmitters feature a thermal shut-down circuit to protect the transmitter if the inside of the MiniBox-4 gets too hot. Always remove obstructions from the vents to ensure good air flow. Vacuum the bottom vent to remove excess dust, Remove the rear louvers, clean and replace the foam filter if needed. Sony Camera & PTZ Platform The MiniBox-4 features a SONY high resolution color camera with 26X optical and 12X digital zoom.

Next, contact the specific cellular carrier that your cell modem is designed to work with: SP = Sprint, VE = Verizon, AL = Alltel, AT = AT&T/Cingular. You will need to provide the serial numbers from the top of your cell modem to your cellular carrier. You must request that your cellular carrier assign a static IP address to your cell modem. 3. Install the antenna to the jack marked antenna on the back of the cell modem. Position the antenna as vertical as possible. 4. Connect the CAT5 cable, located in the top accesssory slot, to the Ethernet jack on the cell modem. 5. Pass the DC Power connector from the power cube through the grommet hole into the top accessory slot. Plug into the DC jack on the cell modem. Make sure the Push ON button (master power) is set to OFF

If your MiniBox-4 is equipped with the optional analog transmitter use the Universal Programming Software CD only. A PC is required with an available RS232 Serial COM port to program the MiniBox-4 transmitter. Complete the following steps:

Programming of the system is available by using the software provided. Typically users may want to control settings such as frequency, scrambling keys, etc. The digital transmitter is controlled by the application DTC_tx_ctrl_v1_ 3.exe (or higher). Installation of the digital control program is as simple as copying the file from the CD to a suitable location on the PC. No install shield routine is launched. Note that the application generates its own log and initialization files, so it is best to create a dedicated directory for these applications. The analog transmitter is controlled by the Universal Programmer application, which is installed from the CD via an install shield wizard. A N LOG D IMPORTANT: For ANALOG TX systems use the Universal Programming Software CD. For DIGITAL TX systems use the Palladium Series Software CD. 36 DTC COMMUNICATIONS, INC. DTMF RECEIVER PROGRAMMING W Setup If your MiniBox-4 is equipped with an optional transmitter, it also has a DTMF Receiver, which may be programmed if desired. The DTMF Receiver is controlled by the Universal Programmer application, which is installed from the CD via an install shield wizard. NOTE: Do not make changes to the programming of the DTMF RX without providing the same settings in the Kenwood DTMF Transceiver. A N LOG D IMPORTANT: For programming the DTMF Receiver in any MiniBox-4 transmitter model, use the Universal Programming Software CD.
