Introduction
What is the…
DV-IP RT ?
A comprehensive digital recording solution, the DV-IP RT is a stand-alone high-performance recording system offering reliable, networked, scalable CCTV with real time viewing and recording capabilities at an affordable price.
Ideal for installations were high record rates and network capabilities are required; the DV-IP RT range includes Real Time ‘RT’ and Near Real Time ‘NT’ variants. RT units can achieve global record rates of up to 25pps on all channels. NT units can achieve global record rates of up to 12pps on all channels*. Both variants offer JPEG and MPEG-4 recording at scalable quality settings.
Dedicated Micros renowned MultiMode record feature enables an operator to set different recording rates, resolution and compression formats across scheduled, normal and alarm modes for each individual camera.
Available with 8, 16 or 32 camera inputs, all offering telemetry control, the DV-IP RT has built in Alarm functionality and onboard Activity detection software.
Lip synched audio is available for each camera channels (except on 32 way unit).
To give operators maximum viewing exibility, the DV-IP RT can be congured to contain a mixture
of spot or main monitor outputs. Camera channels can be viewed in single or multi-screen mode on a local monitor or remotely over an IP connection.
The accompanying Infra-Red (IR) Remote Control has a colour coded ‘Softkey’ interface with
conguration menus common to both local monitor and web interface, making for easy set-up and
operation.
Dedicated Micros trademark plug and play intuitive set-up and user-friendly interface helps keep installation and operator training to a minimum.
The DV-IP RT includes as standard internal storage with expansion available via external high­speed SATA ports. A DVD-R Writer and USB ports are provided for external video archiving.
The unit also offers integrated text support, allowing users to connect with cash registers in retail applications to monitor Point Of Sale (POS) locations. Capturing and associating video with the relevant text information allows the operator to search video footage by time, event, and text data to
provide evidence of fraud or to aid identication of regular offenders.
Among the many other features included as standard on the DV-IP RT are; multiway display and remote monitoring using NetVu ObserVer (utilising DM’s unique TransCoding capabilities to provide
uent live and replay images).
With telemetry control of up to 16 cameras (including coax telemetry), control of dome cameras, activity detection plus many more exciting features, the DV-IP RT is the ideal product when high­performance video recording and transmission is required at an affordable cost.

DV-IP RT
The DV-IP RT includes a unique colour-coded 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 (DM/KBC1 / DM/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 RT
This procedure shows the sixteen camera input version.
Step 1 Connecting Video
The DV-IP RT supports up to 8, 16 or 32 connected Video Inputs (dependant on model) 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.

DV-IP RT
Step 2 Monitor
The DV-IP RT supports a main monitor via ‘HDMI 1’ and BNC ‘A’. A spot monitor can be connected via BNC ‘B’.
Step 3 Connecting Auxilliary Audio
The DV-IP RT 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.
Intelligent Security & Fire Ltd
Page 14

DV-IP RT
Step 4 Connecting Audio per Camera Channel
The DV-IP RT can be congured to use lip-synched audio per camera on 8 way and 16 way variants, OR to use the Aulilliary Audio inputs on any variant.
Auxilliary audio Input 1 Local console Aduio Input Input 2 Reserved for local client challenge audio input Output 1 Live challenge audio
Output 2 Congurable for either local console recorded/live playback or Challenge audio live or playback
Note: Output 2 is currently only congurable via the NetVu ObserVer interface
Step 5 Connecting to the Network
The DV-IP RT has both 10/100/1000Mbps (labelled NET 1) and 10/100Mbps (labelled NET 2) auto­detecting network ports.
The Network port labelled ‘NET 1’ should be used for 1Gb Network Connections. If utilising this port, network conguration should be undertaken via the Conguration Menu pages:Network Settings­>GbNetwork. For other Network connections, utilise Network port labelled ‘NET 2’. If using this port, network conguration should be undertaken via the Conguration Menu pages:Network Settings->Network.
Intelligent Security & Fire Ltd
Page 15
15
DV-IP RT
The above diagram shows typical network topology when utilising both network ports. It is strongly
recommended that:
NET 1 (1Gb ethernet port) be used for all Server IP video sources.
NET 2 (10/100 ethernet port) be assigned to the Client Network for Viewing and Control.
IMPORTANT: If utilising both Network ports, different IP addresses must be assigned to
both connections. These IP addresses must not be in the same subnet.
It is possible to utilise only one network port; however this will limit the performance of the unit and should be avoided if possible.
Note: The unit will not act as a router between the subnets on NET 1 and NET 2. A 3rd party
router would need to be congured for this purpose
Use a CAT5 cable to connect the unit to the network.
By default the unit is congured for DHCP i.e. the unit is automatically allocated an IP address from a network DHCP server. DHCP works by assigning an IP address at initial connection to the network. It is possible however that this IP address can change without notication i.e. following power failure. It is therefore recommended that the DV-IP RT be allocated a xed IP address. A xed IP address can be assigned via the Conguration Menu pages:Network Settings->Network->IP Address or Network Settings->GbNetwork->IP Address. Use the ‘GbNetwork’ menu for 1Gb Network connections (using network port ‘NET1’) and the ‘Network’ menu for other network connections (using network port ‘NET2’).
When the unit is powered up, the network address can be found by viewing on a local monitor and navigating to Conguration Menu pages:System Settings->System->IP Address.
Refer to ‘Conguring The Unit’ for further guidance on locating the unit’s IP address and for details of the default DNS (Domain Name Server) address.

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.
Step 8 Connecting Serial Ports
Serial ports have two main uses:
1. Connecting twisted pair telemetry for PTZ cameras.
2. Providing text data recorded with the video e.g. Point of Sale.
Note:
Telemetry cameras should be connected to Serial 3 and 4. Text data can be retrieved from any serial port.

Pin connections for RS485 connection to a dome on serial port 3/4 are:
Dome Cable DV-IP RT Serial Connector
Yellow 1 TX+
Green 9 TX­If 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 RT i.e. if the dome is connected to video input 3, the camera address should be ‘03’.
DM 2040 & 2060 Domes
A DM 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:

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.

Locating the Unit IP address
The IP address of the unit is required to access the webpages. It can be identied from the conguration menu pages using the local monitor, press the MENU button on the IR Remote Control and navigate to the System Settings->System menu to nd the DHCP assigned IP address.
Note:
The unit can be installed in a DHCP network environment where an IP address, subnet
mask and default gateway will automatically be allocated from the network DHCP Server (DHCP is enabled by default).
Note: If a DNS (Domain Name Server) address is not to be used, it is strongly advised that a
xed IP address be assigned (a DHCP assigned address can change without notication
i.e. following power failure).
If using the 1Gb network capability (network connection via Network port ‘Net 1’) a xed IP
address can be assigned via the Network Settings->1Gb Network menu.

Note:
The hotspot can also be positioned by clicking directly on the map.
Hotspot Origin (deg) This option should be used when the hotspot relates to a
Dedicated Micros Oracle Dome camera. Clicking the hotspot will
send the Oracle Dome camera to a pre-determined view (absolute
positioning). However if the dead centre of the hotspot is selected,
the camera will be viewed from its current location. The absolute positioning point will depend on the data entered
here. A setting of ‘0’ would result in the camera facing its Original
(base) position. To change the preset position, enter a number
between 1 and 360. A setting of 20 would set the preset position
to 20 degrees to the right of its ‘origin’ position, 180 would send it
to face in the opposite direction (of its base position) . Refer to the
‘Viewer Menus-PTZ Prole menu‘ for information on establishing
an Origin position for a PTZ camera.

DV-IP RT
Last trigger - The reference image is only updated
when the VMD is triggered and is best
used under controlled lighting, i.e.
so there are no false triggers due to
ambient light changes.
Static - The reference image is collected on
startup and is never updated. This
would be used in ‘sterile’ areas where
there are no changes expected. Zone disabled - This will disable the zone mode. Sensitivity This option allows the sensitivity setting to be established for
the camera channel being congured. There are ve settings to
choose from: Indoor High, Indoor Low, Outdoor High, Outdoor
Low and Very Low. Pixel Count (%) This value is set as a percentage and equates to the percentage
of pixels in the selected zone that must change for the VMD event
to be triggered. The default setting is 20%. Pixel Change (%) This setting is a percentage value of the overall change required
in the grayscale to be included in the pixel count. The percentage
change is dened over the complete range of black to white, a
100% pixel change would be from black to peak white. The default
setting is 20%. VMD Ensure this checkbox remains selected. Clear Cells Removes all dened zones from the image. Default Grid Displays the default 16 zone grid across the whole image. Graticule On Displays a grid to assist in identifying and creating zone areas. Zone Display Only This will display the areas of the image that are covered by a
