Introduction

At the very heart of Dedicated Micros new SD Range, is a philosophy to provide the widest range of video surveillance solutions possible.
The SD Range provides flexibility and scalability whilst ensuring that existing investments are protected.
Dedicated Micros belief is that any new CCTV developments, must work seamlessly with existing systems without the need for a complete refit. To simply illustrate this, DM’s founding core principles of NetVu Connected, is that everything must work together, both old and new.
Investing in new technology solutions, provides added and enhanced capability, but wherever possible, does not force obsolescence on existing infrastructure, This flexibility and scalability ensures that existing investments are protected.
Product choice is no longer based on features but on key capabilities of recording and video management as all SD Products have the same enhanced features.
The SD of products provide the widest range of capabilities
• Seamless integration of existing or newly deployed analogue and up to 4 x IP Cameras, either DMs’
own generation or selected 3rd party for both Recording and Viewing (8 & 16 channel units only)
• Decoding to multiple viewing clients in real-time, viewed both locally and remotely to match the
network performance and capability that has been provided.
NetVu Connected Technology Guarantees interoperability between all products in the range.
• All NetVu Connected Clients including NetVu ObserVer, NetVu Console and Pick-a-Point can
seamlessly control any NetVu Connected DVR and Server including the entire SD range.
The SD range of products provides enhanced performance, delivered through the latest Gen3 Architecture. The enhanced system performance has been provided in all of these crucial areas performance includes:
• Improved Disk performance ◦ SATA disks provide 8x Read/Write Speeds of PATA/IDE
• Increased Processor Power and Memory Enhancements ◦ more than double the processing power ◦ 64bit RAM doubles memory throughput
• Enhanced Codec Capability ◦ latest generation Chipwrights ViSP devices deliver improved performance through greatly
increased clock speeds, memory and computation power
• Improved Bus Architecture ◦ separate buses for Disk Drive and other peripherals increases total data throughput.

Configuring the SD Range

The SD can be programmed using either the On Screen Display menus displayed on the main monitor of the unit or via a set of web-pages using a standard web browser application.
The Product Configuration pages are now unified so that they are the same on the Main Monitor and the remote webpages. This makes the SD easy to program and reduces the training requirement because install operatives only have to become familiar with one set of pages and can freely choose which method to use.
A Remote Webpage The same Configuration Page
shown on the local Main Monitor
Set up is further simplified by the use of colour-coded ‘soft-keys’, on the front panel, on the keyboard and remote webpages, which give rapid access to all the related pages which may need to be accessed during feature configuration.

Passwords

By default, no usernames and passwords are required to access the unit.
Dedicated Micros recommend that all DVR passwords are configured by the install operative at the time of installation, to ensure system security. It is possible to establish usernames and passwords which can limit access to all or selected users accessing the unit locally or remotely.
To configure passwords on the unit please refer to the User Accounts section of this document.

SD Configuration Remote Web Pages

The SD Range of DVRs can be configured remotely through a standard web-browser such as Internet Explorer using a set of intuitive and easy-to-use WebPages.
Dedicated Micros recommends that access to the SD Configuration Web Pages are password protected. This is to prevent unauthorized access. Refer to Passwords within this document. The Web Pages can be readily accessed via the browser or through NetVu ObserVer by first connecting to the unit and then on the toolbar select Tools, Config Image Server via Browser. The following page will appear:-
Next click on the ‘Configuration’ Tab and the configuration pages will be accessed. If a ‘Web page’ password has been configured the following window will appear:
Enter the User Name and Password. If you wish these to be remembered for future connections ‘tick’ the box as shown.
Note: The SD does not come pre-configured with Password set. Therefore it is extremely important that Passwords are configured during installation to ensure system security.
Once a valid username and password has been entered the System Settings page will be displayed.

Configuration Page Structure

The configuration pages are arranged into logical groups.

Softkeys

The five coloured buttons at the bottom of many pages give immediate access to related configuration pages. Press the corresponding button on the Remote control or control keyboard to go straight to that page.

Using the Web Pages

Important: Any changes made to settings are actioned as soon as another page is selected or the same
page is reselected.
Note that there is also a SAVE button on all pages with changeable settings. This allows the install operative to save any changes on that page without Navigating to another page.
The Refresh button can be pressed to reverse any changes that have been made in error. All the settings on the page will revert to how they were set when going on to the page. This is a useful safety feature and will help avoid programming errors.

On-Board Help Videos

The New SD (with front Panel Control) includes on board help videos for assistance on both User and Configuration features. Accessible from both the local and remote viewer the help videos cover all major operation and configuration topics including: Basic Live and Playback control, telemetry control, alarm configuration, event reviewing, network settings and archiving.

Time and Date Configuration

As the core function of the SD is to possibly provide evidential standard information it is essential that that information is correctly ‘time stamped’. The SD provides the ability to set the DVR to correspond with the particular time zone that it is operating within, can be easily synchronised to the PC that is being used to configure the unit and if necessary can be provided with its’ time reference from a network time server. Note the ‘Time and Date’ Page below
1. Select the correct Time Zone for the location of the DVR from the drop down menu.
2. Select the Date and Time format.
a. This will determine the format of the time and date as displayed on the DVR.
3. Set the desired time using:
a. Manual input of the time in the ‘Set Time’ fields.
b. Select the Softkey and the DVR will synchronise to the current time of the PC
Sync Time
(to the minute).
c. Enter the network address of the Network Time server within the ‘SNTP server’ field.
Note: Any Time zone changes will only take effect after a system reset.

Language

The SD is available for deployment throughout the world and can also be configured to operate within a Wide Area Network that covers various time zones throughout the world. With this in mind it is important that the primary users of the SD are able to configure the DVR to suit their language of choice whilst not restricting the language choice of other users. With these requirements in mind SD can be configured to provide Menu titles in a Language of choice. The ‘Session language’ option provides a change of language to facilitate the possibility that the configuring engineer may have a preferred language different from that of the ‘System’ language.

System Language

The System language setting provides the install operative with the ability to select from a List of languages to provide an overall System Language. Choose from:
English English (US) Czech Swedish Spanish Spanish (Americas) Danish Dutch French Italian Finnish German Russian Norwegian

Session language

The Session Language provides the install operative each remote user with the ability to configure a Language of choice that is to be used each time that they Log on to that member of the SD . This is true so long as the remote user logs on using the same remote PC and the same user profile from that PC
Note: The above operation is also true if the ‘Session Language’ is configured Locally. The set ‘Session Language’ will always override the ‘System Language’ setting.

Advanced Features

The SD has the ability to provide a number of Advanced features which further enhance the integration of the DVR. Features such as: Remote Reporting; E-mail on alarm or system event; Web cam support etc. These enhanced features are primarily activated using the Features Webpage this ensures that only the required features are enabled thus ensuring that the SD only processes required features.

Configuring Features

All Advanced features must be activated within the Features Webpage any additional settings i.e. e-mail server address are configured within specific webpages for that feature.
1. Navigate to the Features webpage (see below)
2. Check the feature that is required to enable it.
3. Select Save
4. Navigate to the Individual configuration pages for the enabled feature.
Note :
After selecting a Feature, The SD Unit may require a reset for these features to operate.

Viewer defaults

The viewer default page is used to determine the default format of the local monitor and remote viewers including the Multiscreen format. As the configuration of this page is dependant on each particular installation and end user specifications each menu within this page is explained below:
Default image format Is the image format (MPEG4 or JPEG) that will be requested from the server
locally and remotely.
Default Image Req Provides the install operative with the ability to select the desired quality of
video stream that is to be requested from any connected 'IP Cameras / Video sources' for display or, the Live transmission from the SD should the remote viewer be used. The actual Video Steam is defined by the Installation Operative by navigating to the following Configuration page: Network settings > Live Trans on either the SD or the Video source.
Default Quad Req provides the install operative with the ability to match the ‘desired’ quality of
image with the available bandwidth and display format. Consider one quadrant of a Quad display compared to a FULL screen. The resolution of the ‘small’ quadrant of the Quad screen does not need to be as high as that of a FULL screen display to provide an image of the required quality. This can assist in reducing network traffic when the remote viewer is used or an IP camera is to be displayed on the Main Monitor.
Default Multi Req As with the 'Default Quad Req' this option allows the Transmission required
to produce a suitable quality display to be matched to the Display type and/or the transmission bandwidth available.
Default Multi display provides the install operative with flexibility with regards to the number of
cameras that will be displayed in multi screen.
Note: If the End User is only to be able to select one Multi screen format e.g. 9 way, then that format should be selected here. If the user is to be able to select from a number of Formats, then select 'None'.
Video Output Mode Select from PAL reduced or PAL default to match the format of the display

SD Display Options

The Display page provides the Install operative with the ability to determine how the Main and Spot monitors are displayed. This includes sequencing of Main and Spot Monitors and features such as Custom Segment Set up. I
Enable Custom Setup.
This allows a multiscreen to be amended, to show cameras in the positions that an end user may specify. If the cameras are always to be shown in the correct sequencial order, then this option should be unticked.
Camera selection switches to full screen
If this option is selected, then when a multi-screen is displayed and a camera is selected – the selected camera will be shown full screen. If the option is not selected, the multi-screen will 'start' from the selected camera.
SoftKey Timeout.
This option can be amended to increase or decrease the number of seconds that the on-screen softkeys are displayed on the Main monitor.
