LICENSE INFORMATION
READ THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT BEFORE OPENING THE DISK PACKAGE, INSTALLING THE
SOFTWARE, OR USING YOUR SYSTEM.
THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT DEFINES YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. BY BREAKING THE SEAL
ON THIS PACKAGE, INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE, OR USING YOUR SYSTEM, YOU AGREE TO ALL
OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY, WITHIN 30 DAYS, RETURN THIS
PACKAGE, ALL THE DOCUMENTATION, AND ALL ACCOMPANYING MATERIAL(S) TO THE POINT OF
PURCHASE FOR A REFUND.
Software License
The Software includes the computer software, the associated media, any printed material, and any
electronic documentation and may be provided to you installed on a hard drive (the media) as part of a
system. The Software is licensed, not sold.
Grant of License
This agreement between Sensormatic and you permits you to use the Software you purchased. Once you
have purchased the number of copies you require, you may use the Software and accompanying material
provided you use no more than the licensed number of copies at one time. The Software is only licensed for
use with specified Sensormatic supplied equipment. If the Software is protected by a software or hardware
key or other device, the Software may be used on any computer where the key is installed. If the key locks
the Software to a particular System, the Software may only be used on that System.
Other Rights and Limitations
• A demonstration copy of the Software is considered purchased and is covered by this license
agreement.
• You may not de-compile, disassemble, reverse engineer, copy, transfer, or otherwise use the Software
except as stated in this agreement.
• The hardware/software key, where applicable, is your proof of license to exercise the rights granted
herein and must be retained by you.
• If the Software is provided as part of a System, the Software may only be used with the System.
• You may not sub-license, rent or lease the Software, but you may permanently transfer the Software to
another party by delivering the original disk and material comprising the Software package as well as
this license to the other party. Initial use of the Software and accompanying material by the new user
transfers the license to the new user and constitutes the new user’s acceptance of its terms and
conditions.
• Sensormatic reserves the right to revoke this agreement if you fail to comply with the terms and
conditions of this agreement. In such an event, you must destroy all copies of the Software, and all of its
component parts (e.g., documentation, hardware box, software key).
• The Software may contain software from third parties that is licensed under a separate End User
License Agreement (EULA). Read and retain any license documentation that may be included with the
Software. Compliance with the terms of any third party EULA is required as a condition of this
agreement.
Failure to comply with these restrictions will result in automatic termination of this license and will make
available to Sensormatic other legal remedies.
Upgrades
If the Software is an upgrade from another software version, you may use or transfer the Software only as
specified in this agreement. If the Software is an upgrade of a component of a package of Software
programs that you licensed as a single product, the Software may be used and transferred only as part of
that single product package and may not be separated for use on more than one computer.
Copyright
The Software is a proprietary product of Sensormatic and is protected by both the United States and
International copyright laws.

Installation and Operating Instructions
Limited Warranty
Sensormatic warrants that the recording medium on which the Software is recorded, and the documentation
provided with it, will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of ninety
(90) days from the date of delivery to the first user. Sensormatic further warrants that for the same period,
the software provided on the recording medium under this license will substantially perform as described in
the user documentation provided with the product when used with the specified hardware.
Customer Remedies
Sensormatic’s entire liability and your exclusive remedy under this warranty will be, at Sensormatic’s option,
to a). attempt to correct software errors with efforts we believe suitable to the problem, b). replace at no cost
the recording medium, software or documentation with functional equivalents as applicable, or c). refund
the license fee and terminate this agreement. Any replacement item will be warranted for the remainder of
the original warranty period. No remedy is provided for failure of the diskette or Software if such failure is the
result of accident, abuse, alteration or misapplication. Warranty service or assistance is provided at the
original point of purchase.
No Other Warranties
The above warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to the
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. No oral or written information or
advice given by Sensormatic, its representatives, distributors or dealers shall create any other warranty,
and you may not rely on such information or advice.
No Liability For Consequential Damages
In no event will Sensormatic be liable to you for damages, including any loss of profits, loss of data or other
incidental or consequential damages arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Software or its
documentation. This limitation will apply even if Sensormatic or an authorized representative has been
advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, Sensormatic does not warrant that the operation of the
Software will be uninterrupted or error free.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights that vary from state to state.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, or the limitation on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
General
If any provision of the agreement is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that
provision shall be severed from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
You should retain proof of the license fee paid, including model number, serial number and date of payment,
and present such proof of payment when service or assistance covered by this warranty is requested.

ACCESSORIES
Intellex USB Floppy Drive
The USB floppy drive can be used to save Intellex configurations, single .BMP images
from the image tools feature, and to install software patches and upgrades.
Intellex USB CD-RW Drive
The USB CD-RW drive can be used to export video clips to CD-R or CD-RW disks or
to update the Intellex software.
Intellex USB/RS-232 4-Port Expander
The 4-Port Expander can be used to add serial ports to the Intellex for the recording of
text data.
Intellex Speakers
The speakers can be used to listen to recorded audio information or to monitor live
audio activity.
Call Monitor
Intellex DV16000 Digital Video Management System
The Call Monitor board permits a single camera’s live (real-time) video signal to be
viewed on an additional video monitor (the Call Monitor board must be upgraded to
the fully populated version to support this option). This live display can be initiated
either by a command or by an alarm input in one of two modes: Call Mode or Spot
Mode. In Call Mode, video from a specific camera is displayed on the call monitor
when commanded by the user. In Spot Mode, the Intellex unit automatically displays
video in sequence from all alarmed cameras to the call monitor (similar to how a
multiplexer sequentially displays camera signals). The Call Monitor function can also
be controlled via a serial connection from a Touch Tracker controller.
Dome Control
Camera control can take place locally on the Intellex system, at the Touch Tracker, or
remotely at a Network Client workstation. Refer to the Network Client Installation and
Operating Instructions for details. Concurrent local and remote operation can cause
control conflicts. The camera will respond to the last control action performed,
whether that is at the Touch Tracker or at the Network Client. If another user tries to
control the same camera, unexpected actions of the camera may result.
Introduction 7
Installation and Operating Instructions
Use of the Touch Tracker version 2.x firmware can minimize control conflicts. This
firmware permits concurrent control of two different cameras connected to the same
Touch Tracker, one locally and one remotely. Conflicts can still occur if the same
camera is being controlled.

Installation and Operating Instructions
CONFIGURING INTELLEX 3.1 FOR DIAL-UP NETWORKING
If your Intellex unit did not have a modem installed as original equipment, you may
need to configure Dial-up Networking. Make sure a modem is installed in the unit.
Configuring the Dial-Up Server
1. Click Start, Settings, then Network and Dial-up Connections, and click on
Make new connection.
2. The Network Connection Wizard box will appear. Click Next to continue.
3. In Network Connection Type select the button “Accept incoming connections“
and click Next to continue.
4. In the Devices for Incoming Connections window, select the box for the modem
that will be used to make the connection (the default for Intellex units is the U.S.
Robotics 56K Fax PCI). Make sure that no other boxes are checked, then click Next
to continue.
5. In the Incoming Virtual Private Connection window, select the button “Do not
allow virtual private connections“, then click Next to continue.
6. In the Allowed Users window, click the Add button. The New User window will
appear.
7. In the New User window, a new account will be created to connect to this server.
In the User name field, type “caller”; in the Full name field, type “caller”; in
the Password field, type “caller”; in the Confirm password field, type
“caller”; then click OK.
NOTE: The previous step created a user account and password to be used when
connecting to the Intellex unit via dial-up. You may want to use a different
username and password other than caller for security purposes.
8. Now a new account in the Allowed Users window named “caller“is listed and
the checkbox next to that name should be checked. If it is not checked, put a check
in the box next to “caller.” Make sure this is the only box checked, then click Next.
9. In the Networking Components window, make sure all boxes are checked. Select

Procedure for Forcing an Intellex modem to Disconnect
NOTE: The first two procedures require that you have physical access to the Intellex
unit. You cannot force a modem to disconnect via remote control.
Graceful disconnect
1. Exit the Intellex application software.
2. Double-click on the Dial-up Server icon in the System tray.
3. Click the Disconnect button.
4. Restart the Intellex application.
Non-graceful disconnect
1. Unplug the telephone cord from the wall telephone jack.
2. Plug the telephone cord back into the same wall telephone jack.
Timed disconnect
1. Click Start, Settings, then Network and Dial-up Connections, and click on
Incoming connections.
2. In the Incoming connections window click on the Properties button.
3. Check the box labeled “Disconnect a call if idle for more than [ ] mins.” Change
the number in the box to 10 (ten).
4. Click OK to save the changes to the Modem Properties window, and click OK
again to close the Incoming connections window.
Graceful disconnect will allow a user to immediately redial and reconnect to the
Intellex unit; however, this method will momentarily disrupt recording on the unit.
Non-graceful disconnect will not affect recording, but it may temporarily render the
modem unable to receive incoming calls. Timed disconnect will automatically
disconnect the modem after ten minutes of inactivity. This will prevent others from
dialing in and monopolizing the connection, and it will also force the modem to drop
the line after a non-graceful disconnect.

Installation and Operating Instructions
INSTALLING THE ESM AND CONVERTING TO NTFS
1. Plug the ESM into an open FireWire port and turn on the power to the ESM.
2. On the Intellex unit you will see several windows appear, each representing a new
drive in the ESM. Close each of these windows.
3. Double-click on My Computer, the four new drives will appear, each labeled
“Local Disk” with the drive letter in parentheses.
4. For each new drive right-click on the icon for the drive and select Properties.
5. In the Label box for each drive, enter a new label to identify the drive, and click
OK (e.g., ESM1a, ESM1b, numbers to denote the ESM module and a letter to
denote each drive in the ESM). This helps to identify each drive’s physical location
when connecting multiple ESMs to an Intellex unit.
6. Close the My Computer window.
7. Click Start, select Run, and type “cmd” in the Open field and click OK.
8. At the C: prompt type the command “convert [Drive Letter]: /fs:ntfs”.
9. The system may prompt you for the volume label of the drive you are converting;
if so, type in the label that you assigned to the drive in step 5.
10. Information will display on the screen while the drive is being converted. This
process will take a few minutes (the larger the drives in the ESM, the more time the
conversion takes). When you see the message “Conversion Complete“, the process
is finished.
NOTE: This conversion task must be executed on every drive in the ESM.
NOTE: When you add a new storage volume (like an ESM) to the Intellex, this
additional recording capacity is placed at the beginning of the database. This
means that the extra storage capacity is not included until the database size is
recalculated. If you are in Linear recording mode, any added volume(s) will
not be used to record video until the database is full and you are prompted to
click the Begin Record button.
NOTE: To remove an ESM from your Intellex unit, first exit the Intellex application to
the Windows Desktop. Then click on the Remove/Eject icon on the Taskbar
to disconnect the 1394/FireWire device. Wait for the message that it is safe to
remove the device, then disconnect the 1394/FireWire cable from the Intellex
unit. When you restart Intellex, you will be warned that the storage volumes
are missing. Now use the Storage Setup screen to remove the storage
volumes from the Intellex database.

Motion Exception
Motion Exception lets you search for a specific event or type of activity by defining
the position, size, direction, and speed of a moving object. Motion Exception
parameters can filter live video or search recorded video to find the specified event or
type of activity. After you apply the Motion Exception parameters, any object of the
specified size (or larger), moving in the specified direction(s) at the specified speed (or
faster) in the target area will trigger a Motion Exception alarm
NOTE: Motion Exception cannot operate if the scheduled record rate is less than
7.5 ips.
NOTE: Motion Exception requires a fixed camera or a dome in non-moving (fixed
position) mode.
NOTE: You can configure one or more Motion Exception target areas at a time.
NOTE: Do not use Auto Rate Mode to configure recording rates when Motion
Exception filters are used for alarm generation or search. Always use the
Camera Selectable Rate Mode and set the minimum rate to 7.5 ips (6.25 for
PAL) on the cameras using Motion Exception filters.
What is Motion Exception?
Motion Exception is different from Motion Detection. You will probably find that
Motion Exception is more effective than Motion Detection in performing “what if”
searches. In some cases it is useful to let normal Motion Detection generate numerous
alarms to guide you to the general area. Then you can use Motion Exception to search
for the relevant details.
76 Setup Options
Intellex DV16000 Digital Video Management System
Where Motion Detection is generic, Motion Exception is specific. With Motion
Exception, you can define multiple, smaller areas of interest, specify the size of the
object to detect, and even specify the direction and speed of the object.
Note these important differences:

To use Motion Exception successfully, follow these rules:
1. Outside is better than inside.
2. Farther from the camera is better than closer.
3. A faster recording rate is better than a slower one.
4. Draw one or more target areas to exclude extraneous activity.
5. A target area near the center is better than one near the side.
6. Do not increase the target object size unless you need to do so.
7. Do not increase the target object speed unless you need to do so.
8. Good quality video feeds are essential.
9. Make sure that lighting is consistent.
All motion detection is imperfect. Standard Intellex Motion Detection may generate
many false alarms, but within that list you may find the alarms that you need. Motion
Exception can reduce the number of alarms that a“looser” Motion Detection search
may generate. You can narrow the search by using Motion Exception to track motion
in one direction, or by altering the object’s size or speed to find only the relevant type
of activity.

In order to compare both types of motion filters on a single camera, loop that camera’s
signal to an unused input (make sure to set the termination properly). Use Motion
Detection on one input and Motion Exception on the other. By observing the results of
both methods and making changes to both, you will learn how best to use each
method. To perform a comprehensive search for all types of motion in recorded video,
you can use both methods on the same camera.

Active Zone Settings
When setting up Motion Exception filters to search for or filter an event or a number
of events, we recommend that you create a number of target areas for the selected
camera. Most camera placements and the environments in which cameras operate
will record video that exhibits wide variations. Therefore, it will be helpful to create
multiple target areas, in order to account for the size and speed of objects within each
target area and to exclude sources of environmental noise or unwanted object motion.
NOTE: If you define multiple target areas in one image area, the target areas may
overlap, but not completely.
Size
After the target area is drawn, a default object size is created. Motion Exception
searches for any object within the target area that exceeds this size. To change the
minimum size of the object, click the Size button. To preserve the object’s aspect ratio,
use the slider bar to define the size of your object. Use the handles on the corners of

the object’s direction, click the appropriate direction arrow. The current live video for
the active camera is displayed beneath the object to show you an accurate gauge for
the speed. If you select the Same speed for all directions button, any speed
adjustments that you make will then apply to ALL directions selected.
Direction
To specify the direction(s) in which the object must be moving,
select the Direction button. The eight direction arrows are now

direction. An object’s direction is defined by the 45° sector into
which the object’s movement falls. By enabling multiple sectors,
you expand the possible range of directions in which an object’s
movement may be tracked. If you are searching for motion in one
direction, select more than one arrow in that range of directions to account for
variations in tracking the object’s motion.
