DV-IP HD
The DV-IP HD includes a unique colour-coded, soft key menu structure and onscreen Graphical User Interface (GUI). Context sensitive, the menu structure always represents the area of the menu the user is in, allowing them to quickly select the options and settings they need without having to trawl through menu pages and options. The colour coded buttons displayed on the monitor match those on the IR Remote Control, whilst control can also be conducted through an attached USB Mouse or supported Keyboard (KBC1 / KBC2).
VIDEO TIMELINE
The Video Timeline feature is a new intuitive interface for the control and navigation of playback video. With control via the IR Remote Control or supported Keyboard, the colour-coded on-screen display matches the buttons on the Remote Control or Keyboard allowing the user to control the video forward or backwards in incremental steps of seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks.
MAPS
Users can now navigate around their CCTV installation using graphical maps. Selecting the relevant camera from the map will instantly connect the user to that cameras image stream. With the ability to load bespoke map images and oor plans to reect their installations, the Maps feature is ideal for quickly identifying camera locations around a site or CCTV network.
Point&go provides the user with easy to use, fast, accurate telemetry control via an attached
monitor. With no need for a telemetry keyboard, users are able to use Pan & Tilt control of a Dedicated Micros Oracle Dome simply by clicking an area of the monitor. The camera will instantly respond, positioning the selected area in the middle of the screen, ideal for tracking movement through a scene.
ePTZ
Dedicated Micros ePTZ uses an advanced image ‘interpolation’ algorithm that reveals detailed information that simple pixel-stretching digital zoom commands cannot. Users can operate ePTZ as they would Analogue Zoom - moving around the scene and zooming in / out using the IR Remote Control or a supported Keyboard - even on static analogue cameras. Electronic Zoom can be carried out on both live and playback video. Providing the ability to retrospectively control and view an image, a great aid in post-event analysis.
Absolute Positioning
Using Camera Selection Maps and the unique Absolute Positioning capability of Dedicated Micros Oracle Dome cameras, an operator can, with one mouse click, select a camera and send it to view an area of the site (Pan and tilt). Absolute Positioning is ideal for following someone from camera to
camera around a site and greatly increases event response time, particularly for operators unfamiliar
with a site layout and camera location.

Installing the DV-IP HD
This procedure shows the sixteen camera input version.
Step 1 Connecting Video
The DV-IP HD supports up to 8 connected Video Inputs via the 75Ω BNC connectors. Connect cameras to the video inputs, starting from input 1.
8 and 16 channel variants have two rows of connectors providing video input and loop-through support. It is possible to use either the top or bottom row of connectors; For consistency and quality of installation, DM recommend one row is used for video inputs and the other for all required loop­through connections onto other pieces of equipment e.g. monitors and matrices.
Note:
Remember the last piece of equipment in line must be terminated.
Double termination (not removing termination from the unit) will result in the 1V peak to peak video signal being crushed. This can reduce the colour rendition of the video source and may cause the video signal not to be detected by the last piece of equipment i.e. the signal is no longer 1V peak­to-peak.

Step 3 Connecting Audio
The DV-IP HD supports two channels of bi-directional audio, accessible through NetVu ObserVer. Connect the audio equipment to the phono sockets AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT. The audio channel defaults to record camera 1.
The following modes of operation are supported:
• Challenge – intruders from a Remote Video Response Centre (RVRC)
•
Listen – to local audio from a site at the RVRC
•
Record - local audio from a site to accompany video
•
Replay - all audio through a local Audio output (not supported when
Audio out is used as a challenge/PA source)
Note: The Audio output can be congured as a challenge output or as a replay output.
Page 14
draft
Step 4 Connecting to the Network
The DV-IP HD supports a 10/100Mbps auto-detecting network port. Use a CAT5 cable to connect the unit to the network.
By default the unit is congured for DHCP (where the unit is automatically allocated an IP address from the network DHCP server).
DNS (Dynamic Name Servers) is supported and therefore the unit can be assigned a name. This removes the need for the unit to have a xed IP address and makes it easier for a remote user to locate. Refer to the ‘Network’ menu section for further information regarding DNS.

End Of Line Circuitry
The following describes the EOL tamper alarms circuitry needed when EOL has been congured. There should be two resistive values within the tamper alarm circuitry. These must be located inside the alarm device (furthest point from the unit).
The alarm state could be Normally Open or Normally Closed, however the tamper states are the same for both settings.
Open, the resistive value is 6.8K ohms (1K + 5.6K).
Closed, the resistive value is 1K ohms, as the circuit does not see the 5.6K ohm resistor.
Open Circuit Tamper, the resistive value is innity as the circuit has been cut and therefore is ‘open’.
Short Circuit Tamper, the resistive value is 0 ohms.

Yellow 1 TX+
Green 9 TX-
If the dome is being connected using an RS485 connection, the dome address should be set to match the camera input number on the DV-IP HD i.e. if the dome is connected to video input 3, the camera address should be ‘03’.
Dennard 2040 & 2060 Domes
A Dennard 2040/2060 Dome can be connected via either co-axial telemetry or RS485 twisted pair.
If using co-axial telemetry the address switches should be set as:
Blue switch - F Yellow switch - D
DM Oracle Domes
A DM Oracle dome can be connected via either co-axial telemetry or RS485 twisted pair. Oracle
Domes are congured using the specic pages available in the unit software, refer to ‘Oracle Dome Conguration’ for more information.

Step 10 Connecting Power
The DV-IP HD has an internal power supply unit. Connect the mains lead to the unit and then to the wall socket, or to a fused spur connection. Check local regulations before installation. Some countries require an Alarm/Security device be connected to a fused spur and not a wall outlet socket. RF
Advanced Installation
Connecting Storage devices
Images are recorded to the internal hard disk for instant playback and searching by the operator. The capacity of the internal disk effects the amount of images and time period that can be recorded.
The internal hard disk is a temporary storage device as images are overwritten after a set period.
If images need to be held for a longer time period, external storage is required. The SATA ports on the rear of the unit are used to connect to external storage devices. The unit can support multiple external hard disks. To maintain an effective SATA link, the length of all cabling from the unit to the connected device should not exceed two metres.
The unit’s operating system will continue to utilise the internal hard disks if the external hard drive encounters a problem.
Dedicated Micros Managed Storage Expansion units
A DM Managed Storage Expansion unit is connected via the SATA port. A Managed Storage unit provides high capacity, environmentally managed storage in a single box. Disk temperature is maintained at a constant level and the disk management system ensures only disks in operation are
spun. Both of these features help extend drive life.
For further information regarding the DM Managed Storage Expansion unit, please contact
Dedicated Micros technical support team.

hardware installation guidance.
Number This identies which input is being congured. The unit supports
20 on-board alarms. Enabled Each input must be enabled to function. If the input is not enabled
and an alarm is received, the unit will not acknowledge the alarm. N_O (Normally Open Contact) By default an input will normally be closed, ticking the N_O box
forces the corresponding input open for alarm. EOL The End Of Line (EOL) option enables the inputs to detect any
changes in the electronic input resistance. A change outside the
expected values will result in a Tamper Alarm (short circuit or open
circuit) being detected and the system switching to alarm mode. Pulse Ext A pulse extension is used to prevent double triggers on a single
alarm. The pulse extension time starts on an alarm trigger. If that
contact is triggered again after the rst alarm has nished but
within the pulse extension, the second trigger will not restart the
alarm, but will extend the current alarm duration. Enter the time in
milliseconds for this extension.

Nuisance This is a repetitive detector value. When an alarm is received
on the unit, it will store the alarm time and monitor the number
of times the same detector is triggered within an hour period.
If the detector is triggered the set number of times to activate
the nuisance count, the unit will de-activate this detector from
triggering an alarm for an hour. The unit will continue to monitor
the detector and check how many times it is triggered during this
period. If it is again triggered more than the amount set in the
nuisance counter, it will remain de-activated for another hour. This
will continue until the trigger value falls below the nuisance count
setting. To disable this feature, leave the setting as ‘0’. Stuck Time If any of the alarms/detectors are active for a period longer than
specied, these will automatically be omitted. This time period is
set in minutes.
