1.2 Product Description

StoreSafe is a video multiplexer capable of recording from multiple cameras to an internal hard drive while simultaneously providing playback. Unlike outdated time-lapse VCRs, StoreSafe records highresolution pictures. Digital recording improves playback quality over VCRs, and eliminates the hassle of cleaning heads, changing tapes or servicing motors. Depending on the setup, StoreSafe can store from a few hours to more than 3 years of color images.

Programmable search features eliminate time consuming fast-forwarding or rewinding of tapes, while searching for critical data. Search for recorded images or events by alarm, time, date, video loss, or camera number.

StoreSafe also features convenient front panel buttons for one-touch printing and archiving (CD writing).

• Remote Programming and control through the RS232 and ethernet ports.

• View live or recorded images remotely using WaveReader software.

• Dual monitor displays.

• Auto-detect video mode on startup (NTSC or PAL).

• Video motion detection (intrusion and activity).

• Displays include full screen, sequenced, picture-in-picture, and multiscreens.

• Alarm Handling with History Log.

• Archive onto CD-Rs with built in CD Writer.

• Continuous Recording with simultaneous Archiving.

• Preview search results with thumbnail images.

• Clock synchronization with Network Server.

• One-touch Print Image button.

• Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP).

• Covert camera recording (recording without display).

• Auto-Daylight savings time change function.

Camera Inputs

There are two BNC jacks for each camera. Either jack can receive a camera signal. The signal is looped (directly connected to the other jack), making the camera signal available to other equipment.

The camera input connectors are Auto Terminating.

This means that the input signal will automatically be terminated with 75-Ohms unless a 2nd cable is connected to the 2nd BNC connector of the same camera input. Make sure there is 75-Ohm termination at the end of the video line if the signal is looped through StoreSafe.

Time base correction is performed during digital capture. As a result, cameras do not require synchronization.

See section 3.13 for information about disabling unused camera jacks in the menu system.

About Events: An Event is an action that the unit acknowledges by recording at the

NOTE

Event Record Rate, yet it is not cause for an Alarm. Events may be created two ways, via RS232 text insertion and Activity detection.

Example of an Event: A camera is pointed at the front door inside the lobby during business hours. With the Event Camera Settings Type set to Event, the unit does not record while the doorway is empty. When activity motion detection senses that someone is entering or leaving the doorway, the unit begins recording at the Event Record Rate and stops recording when the motion ceases.

RS232 Event: See section 8 for information about generating an Event via RS232, and optionally inserting ASCII text to mark the Event.

Activity Detection Event: See Setup Parameters in section 3.13 for detailed information about configuring activity detection as an event in the menu system.

q Main Menu → Record → Timelapse Record Rate

The unit records at the Timelapse Record Rate under normal conditions, when there are no alarms, events, or activity present. Record rates are measured in both Pictures Per Second (pps) and Seconds Per Picture (spp).

The maximum record rate per camera is inversely proportional to the number of cameras connected to the unit. The fewer cameras connected, the higher the maximum record rate for each camera, and vice versa. The maximum record rate for multiple cameras is 24pps (NTSC)(20pps PAL). The maximum record rate for a single camera is 30pps (NTSC)(25pps PAL).

The bottom right corner of the menu contains a record duration calculator. The top line indicates the estimated recording time for the unit in Time-lapse record mode only. The bottom line indicates the estimated recording time, taking into consideration the amount of time the unit will spend in Activity, Event, and/or Alarm record mode.

Record rates are measured in both Pictures Per Second (pps) and Seconds Per Picture (spp). The maximum record rate per camera is inversely proportional to the number of cameras connected to

the unit. The fewer cameras connected, the higher the maximum record rate for each camera, and vice versa. The maximum record rate for multiple cameras is 24pps (NTSC)(20pps PAL). The maximum record rate for a single camera is 30pps (NTSC)(25pps PAL).

The bottom right corner of the menu contains a record duration calculator. The top line indicates the estimated recording time of the cameras in Event record mode only. The bottom line indicates the estimated recording time, taking into consideration the amount of time the unit will spend in Time-lapse, Activity, Event, and/or Alarm record mode.

Activity Vs. Intrusion

Activity Detection is a simple type of motion detection having only a sensitivity setting and a relay output. Intrusion Detection is a more sophisticated type of motion detection, with additional features such as false alarm rejection levels, minimum target size, and an alarm output.

Activity Detection Setup

If Activity is selected in Motion Detection Type field, the following parameters are enabled: Relay Output: The unit may be configured to activate a relay output when motion detection is

present. Select either 1, 2, 1+2 (both relays), or None.

Intrusion Detection Setup

If Intrusion is selected in Motion Detection Type field, the following parameters are enabled: Sensitivity: Rotate the Shuttle to change the motion detection sensitivity, 10 being the most

sensitive. Rejection: Configure the unit’s false alarm rejection feature by selecting Low, Medium, or High.

These settings are based on the number of simultaneously triggered zones and the persistence of motion in a scene. The Low setting is the most sensitive to motion. The Medium setting will filter out most false alarm situations due to sudden luminance changes over the whole scene (clouds passing over). The High setting will filter out sudden luminance changes as well as spurious motion events that do not persist for a number of frames (a bird flying past the lens).

Target Size: This setting is the minimum number of zones (from the 16 x 16 grid) that must be activated simultaneously before it is considered to be valid motion.

Link To Alarm: Select the alarm number that you wish to activate when motion detection is activated.

6.2 StoreSafe WaveLink

A new feature with StoreSafe software version 5.00 is the StoreSafe WaveLink. This feature allows putting command codes in the URL when calling WaveBrowser to control actions the WaveBrowser is going to perform.

0150-0229D 63 Kalatel DVMRe StoreSafe

Page 64

This feature can be used by Web Developers to link various cameras to specific Web content. It will also be used by StoreSafe’s Email feature to allow the recipient of an alarm email to click on a link in the email, which causes the WaveBrowser to connect and play back at the time when the alarm occurred.

Functionality

The traditional WaveBrowser URL is http://<IP_Address>/wrcontrollite.ssi. This URL will start the WaveBrowser in the disconnected state. StoreSafe software version 5.00 supports command codes placed after an underscore after wrcontrollite and before .ssi. In the following example, the options are in bold.

Example: http://3.18.172.230/wrcontrollite_c=1s=2a=3t=1361959858.ssi. The following table specifies the supported options:

Name Code Description Example

Camera c=<n>

Size s=<n>

Action a=<n>

Time t=<n>

Describes either the camera number for fullscreen (1=Camera 1, …16=Camera

16) or the type of the multiscreen display (100 = Multiscreen 16 large, 101= Multiscreen 16 small, 102= Quad screen)

For fullscreen camera, describes the size of the display (1=large, 2 =medium, 3= small)

Describes the action the WaveBrowser has to take:

0 No action 1 Normal Connection Play 2 Normal Connection Live 3 Normal Connection Goto 4 Live Connection When action is set to 3 (Goto), the time

specifies where to go in number of seconds since 01/01/1960.

c=10

s=2

a=2

t=1361959858

Please Note: When an option is not specified, it will be set to 0.

NOTE

The default page, http://3.18.172.230, does not accept option codes and will open the WaveBrowser in disconnected state. The example URL from above (http://3.18.172.230/wrcontrollite_c=1s=2a=3t=1361959858.ssi) requests the WaveBrowser to make a normal connection, play back at 2/27/2003 10:53:32 displaying camera 1 in medium size.

When a normal connection is requested, but the StoreSafe unit is already connected via a normal connection, the WaveBrowser should open a live connection instead.

Email Links

StoreSafe is able to send emails when certain events occur (like videoloss, alarms, etc.). When in record mode, StoreSafe software version 5.00 will add a WaveBrowser link in the email notification.

Clicking this link initiates WaveBrowser to be started, make a normal connection and play back the specific camera with a medium size video window at the time the event occurred.

8 RS232 Event Generation/Text Insertion Protocol

8.1 Message Structure

The Delimiter byte signals the start of a new message, and has a value of 0xFF. The Class and Command fields identify the type of message. The Data Length is a 16-bit value indicating the number of bytes in the Data portion of

the message. Data Length is sent using Intel byte ordering (Little Endian). The Check Sum byte is the result of XORing all the bytes in the message.

8.2 Message Type

One message is currently supported to store text along with recorded video.

CMD_NEW_ADD_TEXT

Class byte is 0x14. Command byte is 0x40. Data Length is the number of data bytes in the message (from 2 to 502). Camera byte indicates the camera associated with the text. The valid range is from

0 to 15.

Alarm/Event byte usage is described in the following section. String field contains text characters. The string can be from 0 to 500 characters in

length.

Delimiter Class Command Data Length Data Check Sum

0xFF 0x14 0x40 Data Length[0] Data Length[1] Camera Event String[0] String[1] : String[n-1] Check Sum

8.3 Alarm/Event Field

The two least significant bits are currently used for the event. Bits 2 and 3 are used for Alarm

A – Alarm/Event 0x00

If both the start and end bits are clear, the associated text will be stored with the next recorded field for that camera. That cameras record rate will not be changed.

B – Alarm/Event 0x01

If only the start bit is set, the associated text will be stored with the next recorded field for that camera. This will cause the selected camera, as well as any pre-event fields to be recorded at the Alarm or Event Record Rate.

C – Alarm/Event 0x02

If only the end bit is set, the associated text will be stored with the next recorded field for that camera. This will start the post-event timer** after which, the selected camera will resume recording at the normal record rate*.

9.2 Configuration and Status

i) Data structure

Byte 1: 0xFF Byte 2: Command Type

0xAA: (SET) Update DVMRe with data.

0xBB: (GET) Extract data from DVMRe. Byte 3: Data Length (n) Byte 4: Data Type

0x61: Restart DVMRe

0xFE: Send configuration data to DVMRe 0x09: Read Alarm History from DVMRe 0xFF: Read configuration and status data

from DVMRe Byte 5: Data byte 1 Byte 6: Data byte 2 : : Byte x: Data byte n

ii) Sending data to the DVMRe

a) Restart StoreSafe

This command will restart StoreSafe.

Byte 1: 0xFF Byte 2: 0xAA Byte 3: 0 Byte 4: 0x61

b) Send data to StoreSafe

Configuration data can be sent to StoreSafe, to change the way it operates. The data is arranged in the form of 16 byte blocks, numbered from 1 to 213. Blocks 182, 183 and 185 are status blocks, and hence cannot be written to. For details about the contents of each block, contact GE-Interlogix and request the Block Data Structure for StoreSafe.

Byte 1: 0xFF Byte 2: 0xAA Byte 3: 17 Byte 4: 0xFE Byte 5: Block Number

(1-181, 184, 186-200)

Byte 6: data[0] : : : : Byte 21:data[15]

After sending a block or series of blocks, block number 255 must be updated to signal the end of the configuration session. All data bytes for block 255 must be set to 0.

iii) Requesting data from the DVMRe

When a message of type 0xBB is sent to StoreSafe, it will respond by sending 16 bytes of requested data.

a) Read Alarm History List

Byte 1: 0xFF

Byte 2: 0xBB Byte 3: 0 Byte 4: 0x09

When the "Read Alarm History List" message is received by StoreSafe, it responds by sending a start byte 0xFF, followed by ASCII strings for every alarm event in its alarm history list, and a stop byte, 0xFF. Each string is formatted as follows:

dd.bmm/ddbhh:mm:ssbaa<CR><LF>

dd: index number (00 - 99) b: space character mm: month (01-12) dd: day (01-31) hh: hours (00-23) mm: minutes (00-59) ss: seconds (00-59) aa: alarm number (01-16) <CR> Carriage return (0x0D) <LF> Line feed (0x0A)

Example: 03. 11/27 22:48:58 15

b) Read data from StoreSafe

Configuration and status data can be read from StoreSafe. The data is arranged in the form of 16 byte blocks, numbered from 1 to 213. For details about the contents of each block, contact GEInterlogix and request the Block Data Structure for StoreSafe.

Byte 1: 0xFF Byte 2: 0xBB Byte 3: 1 Byte 4: 0xFF Byte 5: Block Number 1-213 or 255 if all

blocks are requested.

StoreSafe responds to the “Read data” request by sending all the requested data bytes consecutively, without any start or stop bytes.

A total of either 16 bytes or 3408 bytes will be transmitted, depending on whether a single block or all the blocks were requested.

11.2 Warranty and Return Information

GE-Interlogix warrants all of its equipment for three years from the date of purchase. This warranty covers any defects in materials and workmanship. Equipment failures that are due to improper installation, modification, abuse, or acts of nature will not be covered by this warranty. The repair department will evaluate all equipment returned for repair to determine warranty coverage. The Tech Support Manager will resolve any questions that may arise during evaluation to make a final determination.

Note: The three-year warranty does not apply to the following products:

MobileView® and the monitor CRT, which carry a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase.

The warranty specifically covers any defects in material and workmanship and does not cover equipment that has been abused, damaged, or modified.

For all warranty repairs, GE-Interlogix will cover all costs, including parts, labor, and shipping. Repaired equipment will be returned via the same method of shipment in which it was received. If a customer requests a faster return shipment, the difference will be charged.

For all non-warranty repairs, the customer will be billed for parts, labor, and shipping. Labor will be billed in half-hour increments.

Note: Customers requesting an estimate prior to repair will be notified by phone. If they cannot be reached, they will be notified by fax. If we are unable to reach the contact person for repair authorization after one phone attempt and two fax attempts, the equipment will be returned without being repaired. We will hold equipment no longer than two weeks.

Advance Replacement Policy

When an advance replacement is required, we will send the customer replacement equipment from our stock and receive the returned product in exchange. The received equipment will be evaluated and the repair department will determine whether it is a warranty replacement. If it is non-warranty, see our repair policy above for details. The following guidelines will be used for all advance replacements:
