VIDEO SPECIFICATION ALARM AND CONTROL SPECIFICATION
Experience Digital Video Motion Detection since 1988. Experience Expert System to analyse security situations developed since 1981
Digital Video Recording since 1991. System design based on experience running a security  test site and the Analysis and Design of most national Key points in the 80's
Installed systems in continuous operation for over 15 years
Digital Decatonic-operation Simmultaneous: Pseudo Live Viewing, Time Lapse Recording, Event Recording, Playback, Enhancement, Archiving, Printing, Event Searches, Image Analysis (license plate Recognition, Face recognition, Container Recognition), Remote Operations: Control, Viewing, Messaging and Automatic Alarm Image Transfer. System design based on experience running a security  test site and the Analysis and Design of most RSA National Key points in the 80's
Installed systems in continuous operation for over 20 years
Time Periods Unlimited Number of time periods definable
Different times for each day of the week and Public Holidays
Digitization Number and recording speed of cameras limited only by number of processors, PCI slots and bus speed. Public holidays fully definable
Actions definable at start and end of time periods
Digitization CPU and image destination fully selectable(PAL or NTSC) Diferent alarm actions triggered for different time periods from the same alarm source
Resolution Fully selectable per Camera and Event from low resolution up to full interlaced images as well as double width for regognition systems
Different access control rules and VMD settings per time period
Compression Enhanced J-PEG with sensitivity selectable movement recording per Camera Types of Alarm Triggers Hardware Alarm.  I.e. Contact make or Contact break
Video Motion Detection
J-PEG 2000 (Wavelet) optional selectable per CPU Combinations of Input settings (AND / OR)
Compression ratios selectable per Camera or Event Electrified Fence Interface - Optional Energisers (10 000V, 9Joule Each) measures and displays point of intrusion to within 5%.
Video Inputs 1, 4, 8 or 16 inputs (I.e. Cameras) per Frame Grabber.
8 camera inputs per daisy chained Peripheral. (E.g.Multiplexors, IntelliNode (Outstation) and Routers).  Specific string of letters & numbers entered through the serial port
ID card or Fingerprint read or rejected
Optional 8X8 Matrix switching module in the IntelliNode (Outstation) allows modular matrixes of any size (e.g 128 X 32) Alarm Priority and Annunciation Selectable per alarm as Critical, High, Medium, Low
Map Display and Control through Icons: point and type of alarm etc.
No of Cameras limited only by number and speed of Video Servers Map and size selectable per trigger
Digital Video Movement Detection VIDEO Movement Detection (VMD) selectable on each Cameras Choices of Actions on Trigger Perform a sequence of actions: e.g. Record Images, open doors activate electrifiers, conditionals, measurements etc
1024 Sensed areas per alarm per camera (% Change, sensiticity, etc)
8 Independent sets of 1024 areas per camera to create different alarms responses for diferent time periods. Send message to, or Play a sound on any CPU
Send images to a remote computer via LAN, WAN, Internet or TCP/IP
1024 areas to ignore movement per camera Analyse and compare data from previous triggers and display.
Video Standard CCIR/PAL, EIA/NTSC, SECAM optional per video server (CPU) Notify any specific operator or groupas of operators
Recording speed Each SEL FG: 25 f/s PAL, 30 f/s NTSC (single or synchronised/equal level cameras per FG) Pause Time Lapse recording or add pre alarms to records
Create or add to packages of occurences and display selected information thereof
Example: 16 camera, 4 FG Video Server:     120f/s NTSC 100f/s PAL
Ultralock™ Synchronisation Number of Alarm Inputs and Controls (Outputs) Depends on number of Peripherals connected to the System
Recording Modes Different Time Lapse Sequences in different time periods 24 Alarm Inputs, 8 analogue measurements and 24 Control Outputs per Intellinode/Outstation
Different Event Recording Sequences in different time periods
Manual Recording/Archiving of selected real time or archived images 8 Alarm Inputs and 4 Control relays per Multiplexer
Pre-Alarm  Recording (Action string set-up) Number of Peripherals 3 X 255 per CPU  (Not practical to use this many on a single computer)
Audio  Recording Digital Watchdog hardware usable when upgrading
Images of simmilar events "Packaged" together. Remote Control Fully secure integration of all allowed CPU's connected via any TCP/IP connection (LAN, WAN, Internet, ISDN, Telephone etc).

Playback and Display Modes Selectable Playback speed  from Pause to 30f/s (25 PAL) Pre-programmed sequences can be remotely triggered
Selectable Frame by frame playback and archiving Triggered Alarms with Video can be automatically routed to a remote CPU.  Text, image and voice conferencing between CPU's
Selectable display of Image position, number and size
Network Camera Mode Speed of Inter CPU links (TCP/IP) does not affect speed of other links
Pan, Tilt and Zoom Control Each camera can have Up, Down, Left, Right, Zoom-In, Zoom-out, Focus-In, Focus-Out while in Psuedo live viewing mode ACCESS CONTROL SPECIFICATION
Rules Group of people allowed into group of areas in specific time periods
Unlimited special controls available (Mouse click on mimic) All known required Functions: Anti-passback, Sheparding etc
Parallel or Serial (RS485 or RS232) interfaces with PTZ controllers and units ID Cards All Major Types (e.g. Magnetic, Weigand etc); ID card manufacture
People. Assets and License Plates Number of of people, people groups, areas and area groups limited by computer memory size only
