i-Catcher Console has the ability to control I/O ports attached to certain devices, such as the Axis 241Q network video server. By using simple interface equipment such as a relay board i-Catcher Console can be used to turn on almost any electrical equipment.

We have set up a simple system which you can control to demonstrate the integration of i-Catcher Console and control devices. Our setup consists of i-Catcher Console, an Axis 241Q network video server, a Velleman Relay Board Kit, and some simple appliances. Read more about how we set the system up.

By using the control buttons below, you can switch these devices on and off directly. The buttons send commands to i-Catcher Console, which turns the appropriate I/O port on the Video Server on or off, controlling one of four relays connected to the mains connection on an appliance.
