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 RSA National Key points in the 80's
Installed systems in continuous operation for over 15 years
Digital Octatonic-operation Simmultaneous: Pseudo Live Viewing, Time Lapse Recording, Event Recording, Playback, Enhancement, Archiving, Printing, Remote Operations: Control, Viewing, Messaging and Automatic Alarm Image Transfer. Installed systems in continuous operation for over 20 years
More than 1000 installed systems, from very large fully integrated systems to small.
Time Periods Unlimited Number of time periods definable
Digitization Independent Video processing per SEL Frame Grabber (SEL FG).  Different times for each day of the week and Public Holidays
Number of FG's limited by PCI slots and bus speed only Public holidays fully definable
Resolution Step selectable per Camera and Event from low resolution up to full interlaced images Diferent alarm actions triggered for different time periods from the same alarm source
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 Combinations of Input settings (AND / OR)
Compression Ratios selectable per Camera or Event 1, 4, 8 or 16 inputs (I.e. Cameras) per Frame Grabber.
Electrified Fence Interface - Optional Energisers (10 000V, 9Joule Each) measures and displays point of intrusion to within 5%.
Video Inputs Specific string of letters & numbers entered through the serial port

ID card or Fingerprint read or rejected

8 camera inputs per daisy chained Peripheral. (E.g.Multiplexors, IntelliNode (Outstation) and Routers).   
 
No of Cameras limited by computer speeds only (32-64 in practice) Alarm Priority and Annunciation Selectable per alarm as Critical, High, Medium, Low
Video Standard CCIR/PAL, EIA/NTSC, SECAM optional Map Display of point of alarm trigger
Archives Selectable in Size, Number and Disk/Directory 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 electriviers etc
1024 Sensed areas per alarm per camera (% Change, sensiticity, etc)
8 Independent sets of 1024 areas per camera Notify the operator; Display a Map for a specified time; Play a sound
1024 areas to ignore movement per camera Send images to a remote computer via LAN, WAN or TCP/IP
Recording speed Each SEL FG: 25 f/s PAL, 30 f/s NTSC (synchronised/equal level cameras per FG) Pause Time Lapse recording
Display the Access Control Data for a specified time on a Allow or Deny Trigger
Example: 16 camera, 4 FG system:               100f/s PAL 120f/s NTSC
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 and 24 Control Outputs per Intellinode/Outstation
Different Event Recording Sequences in different time periods 8 Alarm Inputs and 4 Control relays per Multiplexer
Manual Recording/Archiving of selected real time or archived images Number of Peripherals 3 X 255  (Not practical to use this many on a single computer)
Pre-Alarm  Recording with future updates Upgradeable - Same hardware used on COGNITO
AVI and Audio  Recording with future updates Remote Control Remote Control through LAN, WAN, internet or TCP/IP connection
Playback and Display Modes Selectable Playback speed  from Pause to 30f/s (25 PAL) 34 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 computer.
Selectable display of Image position, number and size
Pan, Tilt and Zoom Control Parallel or Serial (RS485 or RS232) interfaces with PTZ controllers Textual Message exchange with remote
Each camera can have Up, Down, Left, Right, Zoom-In, Zoom-out, Focus-In, Focus-Out while in live viewing mode ACCESS CONTROL SPECIFICATION
Rules Group of people allowed into group of areas in specific time periods
34 Additional controls available for special modes Number of rules limited by computer memory size only
Enhancement and Annalysis Cropping, Enlargement/Blow-up, Gamma, Contrast, Brightness, Blue, Green, Red, Grey Scale, Sharpen, Smoothen, Saturation, Contrast, Rotation, Printing, Storage  etc ID Cards All Major Types (e.g. Magnetic, Weigand etc)
People Number of people, people groups, areas and area groups limited by computer memory size only

BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION SPECIFICATION

Digital video image of access control transaction coupled to record
Finger Print Identification Any number of readers coupled to USB ports Data Base Exported as file usable by spreadsheet or data base programs
 Used as Access Control Identification or Time and attendance register Sorting by person, area time etc
