SADP application, tool for integrating CCTV systems

Serch Active Device Protocol (SADP) is a simple tool that connect DVRs, CCTV cameras, video servers and a PC computer to the same local network LAN.

It allows to manage the network parameters of the DVRs, IP cameras, and video servers. The software runs on Windows XP/Vista/7. The compressed files (WinRAR) can be downloaded from internet site: http://down.dipol.com.pl/Projects/bib308/SADP.rar

Before running the application the user has to install WinPcap supplied in the resource kit. WinPcap is a set of libraries for Windows, enabling applications such as SADP to gain access to network packets that are on the stack, without interaction with the upper layers of the network. SADP itself does not need not be installed. All files, however, should be in the same directory, which should be placed in a path protected against accidental erasure of data. The shortcut to the executable file can be placed on the desktop.

Files supplied in the package along with the SADP application

To allow SADP to operate properly, the computer can operate only one network card. Other network cards, if installed, have to be turned off.

Sample solution of the network architecture is shown in the diagram below. Frequently, it appears that the IP addresses of some devices are unknown or even invisible to other network devices. SADP protocol runs continuously detecting devices having a different class of IP address.

After launching the utility, all devices will be found automatically. The window consists of several elements: the list of detected devices and side panel that contains information and editing/saving fields. As shown in the example, there have been found three devices: one with the IP address 192.168.0.7, and two newly added with the addresses 192.168.0.7 and 192.0.0.64. After selecting one of them in the list, the boxes on the right will provide its details (in the example - of the first one).

How to integrate individual components of the monitoring system?

To make simple changes to the settings of a network device, the user should select the device from the list and click "modify" button. The header of the panel provides serial number of the device (the same as on the sticker on its housing).

Modifying network settings for the selected device

Some inactive (gray) fields will change into edit mode. The user can change the device port number, IP address and subnet mask. After changing the field "--please input the password--" it is necessary to enter the administrator's password for the device. The default password is "12345." The "save" button allows to save the settings.

After saving the changes the program refreshes the list of devices and displays a confirmation message.
