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 2

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 the DVMRe Pro.

Cable: 75-Ohm Coaxial Connectors: BNC Auto Terminating: Yes Passive Looping: Yes

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

See section

3.14 for information about disabling unused camera jacks in the menu system.

Composite Monitor Output

When connecting directly from The DVMRe Pro to the monitor, select the 75-Ohm impedance setting on the monitor.

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.

 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 120pps (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.

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.

Link to Event: Selecting Yes in this menu will activate the event record speed when activity detection is present.

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.

 Main Menu → Motion Detection → Setup Active Zones

In order to use Dynamic DNS with GnuDIP, the user has to configure following in the menus:

NOTE

• Name Service must be set to GnuDIP (Ethernet Setting Menu).

• Primary Name Server must be set to the IP address of the GnuDIP server (Ethernet

Setting Menu).

• Hostname must be set to the required hostname format e.g. ge04.companyname.net. For registration purposes, the string until the first dot is used as hostname (here: ge04), the remainder is used as domain (here: companyname.net). The hostname is set via the Ethernet Setting menu and is case sensitive.

• DDNS update interval must be set to a reasonable value (e.g. 2 minutes).

• The password for the DDNS server has to be set in the Passwords->DDNS password

menu. The password is 4 digits long (The Enter button can be used for the number 0).

When everything is configured correctly, the DVMRe Pro will send periodically a Dynamic DNS update message over TCP port 3495 to the Dynamic DNS server telling the server its hostname. The DVMRe Pro does not include its IP address in the message. Instead the Dynamic DNS server extracts the IP address of the DVMRe Pro via the Ethernet source IP address. This guarantees that the correct IP address is used even when the DVMRe Pro is behind a NAT router.

 Main Menu → Communications → Ethernet Advanced

Use this menu to configure the Ethernet Advanced communications settings. Se lect from the following:

Bandwidth: Local bandwidth control, set from 5Kb per second through 250Kb and Unlimited. The minimum of this setting and the setting requested by WaveReader will be used.

TCP MTU Size: Select from Standard, 1400, and 1200. The MTU describes the maximum possible TCP packet size. Standard (1500) is optimal for most ethernet network environments.

Print Server: Enter the Print Servers IP address to enable the Print Image operation (Function and Zoom).

5.4 Retail Search

The local retail search feature is provided for customers who wish to search video for specific products from the front panel of the DVMRe Pro. The customer can select from predefined product names from predefined categories. To use this feature you must create a text file containing the categories (product types) and product names (sub levels) that you want to search. This file is then uploaded to the DVMRe Pro via the web interface.

Text File Format

To create a retail search text file open Notepad or any other simple text editor. The file must be saved as a text only file. The meta-character # is used in this text file to identify a category. All strings below a category are interpreted as sub levels of that category until another category appears. The creator of the retail text file is responsible to put the categories and sub levels into correct order. The DVMRe Pro will not sort the strings. A category has to have at least one sub level. The customer has to store this file as a .txt file named retail_search.txt.

Example:

#Ice_Cream Vanilla Chocolate_Chip #Soda Vanilla Root_Beer Orange #Beer Draft Light Extra_Light

filename: retail_search.tx

Uploading/Downloading the retail_search .txt File

The retail search text file can be uploaded to the DVMRe Pro unit via the Web interface. The index.ssi page will contain a link to the retail search page. Open the embedded web browser by typing the DVMRe Pro’s IP address/index.ssi in the address field of your Internet browser.

Click here

This page will appear if no retail text file has previously been uploaded. To upload the file, click the Browse button and navigate to the file location. Once the file is selected, click on the Upload Retail Search File button.

0150-0294B 74 GE Security DVMRe Pro

Page 76

When the retail text file has been uploaded this page (below) provides the options to delete or upload a

new retail text file. The user can view the retail text file by clicking the link to the retail text file. The user can download the retail text file to a PC by right-clicking the link and by choosing 'Save Target As'. The user can only upload one retail text file and can delete the current retail text file. After uploading the file (and also after a reboot), the DVMRe Pro will read the contents of the file and store it in memory.

6.2 DVMRe Pro WaveLink

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

0150-0294B 81 GE Security DVMRe Pro

Page 83

This feature can be used by Web Developers to link various cameras to specific Web content. It will also be used by the DVMRe Pro’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. The DVMRe Pro 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> 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)

Size s=<n> For fullscreen camera, describ es the

size of the display (1=large, 2 =medium, 3= small)

Action a=<n> 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

Time t=<n> 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 DVMRe Pro unit is already connected via a normal connection, the WaveBrowser should open a live connection instead.

Email Links

The DVMRe Pro is able to send emails when certain events occur (like videoloss, alarms, etc.). When in record mode, the DVMRe Pro 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

The RS232 Alarm/Event Generation /Text Insertion Protocol is designed to deliver Alarm, Event (commands), and Text data to the DVMRe Pro from serial interface devices through the RS232 port.

NOTE

Setting and Clearing Alarms with this Protocol is equivalent to activating and deactivating Alarms on the hardware alarm inputs.

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.

Delimiter Class Command Data Length Data Check Sum

0xFF

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 alarm, event, or text. The

valid range is from 0 to 15.

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

characters in length. The String field is not required. If text data is available, it will be recorded with the next video frame for the camera identified by the camera field.

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

8.4 Alarm Actions

No Alarm Change – 0000 00XXb

If both the start and stop bits are clear, the alarm status and camera record rates will remain unchanged.

Start Alarm – 0000 01XXb

If only the start bit is set, the DVMRe Pro will enter the Alarm mode. The selected camera will become the alarm camera. Pre-alarm video will be recorded and the Alarm Record Rate will be initiated.

Every Start Alarm command should subsequently be followed with a Stop Alarm command

NOTE

Stop Alarm – 0000 10XXb

If only the stop bit is set, the selected camera’s alarm status will be cleared. If no other alarms are present, the DVMRe Pro will exit the alarm mode.

at some point. Failure to do so will render that alarm input useless, even if the alarm was latched and gets acknowledged from the front panel. A Stop Alarm followed by a Start Alarm will have to be sent to create a new alarm on that channel.

Momentary Alarm – 0000 11XXb

If both the start and stop bits are set, a momentary alarm will be initiated on the selected camera. Prealarm video will be recorded at the alarm record rate, after which the DVMRe Pro will continue to record video at the normal record rate.

8.5 Event Actions

NOTE

All Event messages will be ignored while an Alarm condition exists in the DVMRe Pro.

No Event Change – 0000 0000b

If both the start and stop bits are clear, there will be no change to the event status. The camera’s record rate will not be changed.

Start Event – 0000 0001b

If only the start bit is set, an event will be initiated on the selected camera. This will cause the selected camera, as well as any pre-event video to be recorded at the Event Record Rate.

Stop Event – 0000 0010b

If only the stop bit is set, the current event on the selected camera will be terminated. This will start the post-event timer after which, the selected camera will resume recording at the normal record rate.

Momentary Event – 0000 0011b

If both the start and stop bits are set, a momentary event will be initiated on the selected camera. Preevent video will be recorded at the event record rate for the selected camera. The post-event timer will continue recording at the event record rate, after which the selected camera will resume recording at the normal record rate.

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

ii) Sending data to the DVMRe

a) Rest art DVMRe Pro

This command will restart DVMRe Pro.

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

b) Send data to DVMRe Pro

Configuration data can be sent to DVMRe Pro, 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-Security and request the Block Data Structure for DVMRe Pro.

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 DVMRe Pro, 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 DVMRe Pro, 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 DVMRe Pro

Configuration and status data can be read from DVMRe Pro. 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 GE-Security and request the Block Data Structure for DVMRe Pro.

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.

DVMRe Pro 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.
