DVR Integration Option Introduction

DVR INTEGRATION COMPONENTS

Components that operate within the DVR integration include CCTV Server, AV Server, AV Switches, Monitors, Cameras, and Dry Contacts.

CCTV Server A P2000 component that provides communication with the

DVR hardware. CCTV Server is responsible for sending commands from P2000 to the DVR system using the P2000 event action functions.

AV Server A P2000 component that provides communication with the

DVR hardware. AV Server is responsible for receiving alarms from the DVR system, as well as automatically forwarding P2000 alarms to the DVR system (provided the Input to Camera and/or Terminal to Camera mapping are configured.)

AV Switch Defines general system information about the Digital Video

Recorder hardware, and about the Monitors and Cameras that are connected to it. You must define at least one AV Switch for each configured CCTV Server.

Monitors Defined for a particular AV Switch.

Cameras Defined for a particular AV Switch. You may also configure the

Presets that will be available for a particular Camera.

Dry Contacts Dry Contacts are two-state (open/closed) input points defined

for a particular AV Switch.

NOTE

Matrix operations, such as Presets and Monitors, require special hardware (a compatible video matrix switch) that must be connected to the DVR. When a matrix switch is controlled by the P2000's CCTV advanced feature (and not the DVR advanced feature), then the DVR feature will not provide matrix operations.

DEFINING SYSTEM HARDWARE FOR THE DVR I

NTEGRATION

Once you have configured the CCTV Server and the AV Switch, and the Cameras and Monitors, and Dry Contacts are connected to the configured addresses, you do not need to specifically configure any other equipment. The AV Switch configuration will contain the necessary global configuration information for all the DVR hardware components connected to it.

DVR

Equipment

NamespaceDatabase

However, you may want to specifically define the operation of a piece of equipment. For example, you may have one Camera that is fixed, so you do not want to enable the “move” functions for the operator when running AV Player. In this case you would specifically set up and configure a named Camera. Any functions expressly defined for the named Camera will override the global Camera information in the AV Switch configuration.

Similarly, the Camera configuration will define

global information about the Presets for the Camera, including the number of the Presets that are to be generated in the namespace. For example, if the Camera definition generates 20 Presets, then the 20 Presets will exist in the namespace tagged with the namespace name. However, if you want to give a specific name to the Presets, you would need to specifically set up and define each Preset in the CCTV/AV Configuration window.

Namespace and Database

When you define the CCTV Server, AV Switch, and other items in the CCTV/AV Configuration window (except for Dry Contacts), the software creates a database table for each item, and will also create a valid entry for the AV Switch in the AV Server namespace. If the system then uses the default settings for the DVR protocol, as many entries are added to the namespace as there are default items, but no database tables will be created for these items until one of the items has been specifically created, configured, and saved. For example, if you specifically create a Preset, a record will be created and it will contain information about the named Preset. When you create the Preset, you will allocate the Preset a number that the software will use to create the namespace name (OPC name) for the Preset. The namespace entry will be updated from any information in the database when the CCTV Server is next started.

Relationship Between the Namespace and Database

The following illustration summarizes how the various system activities relate to the namespace and database.

DVR Integration Option Introduction

DVR Naming Conventions

Where there is a large number of components a DVR system, it is helpful to name them with a consistent naming convention. For example, a Camera may be assigned a name that also includes the AV Switch name (OfficeCam1), or it may be named with the location of the Camera (Floor 4), or the area of its view (West Car Park). These names are added to the DVR database. Using meaningful names will help the system operators.

The AV Server namespace names are assigned automatically, using the number

gned to the item when it is manually or automatically configured.

assi

Naming Items for the AV Server Namespace

Each of the items that you define specifically in the CCTV/AV Configuration window (except for Dry Contacts) is automatically allocated an identifying name that is recognized by the CCTV Server. The name comprises the number of the item and a fixed description. In the case of Cameras and Monitors, the number is the physical address that the equipment is wired to at the AV Switch; in the case of other AV Switch elements, the address is a logical address that can be recognized by the CCTV Server. The fixed description is assigned automatically by the DVR software when the item number is added to the CCTV/AV Configuration window.

NOTE

The AV Server namespace for the CCTV Server is initialized from the P2000 database each time the CCTV Server is started. If the CCTV Server cannot find the P2000 database, then the namespace is initialized from a local copy. However, the local copy will have been made when the P2000 database was last read, so it may not be up-to-date.

The item name is automatically tagged with an inherent name. For example, a Preset is recognized by its AV Switch, Camera, and Preset name; Presets created for different Cameras can have the same number but will have a different namespace name.

When you create records in the CCTV/AV Configuration a number for the address of the item that you are adding. Each number is prefixed by one or two letters. The following table shows the prefix letters and the range of numbers permitted for each item.

Namespace Item Parent Item Prefix Range

Switch Server AV 1 to 9999

Monitor Switch M 1 to 9999

window, you need to enter

Camera Switch C 1 to 9999

Camera Presets SwitchCamera Pr 1 to 9999

24-10515-13 Rev. – 1-9

Introduction DVR Integration Option

The number of items is determined by the DVR hardware and the protocol used. In addition, if the system is configured with the CCTV advanced feature and a CCTV Switch, the number of Cameras and Monitors is determined by the capacity of the CCTV Switch.

The prefix letters for the item are automatically inserted by the CCTV/AV Configuration window.

The number is selected by the user. The following rules must be followed:

 AV Switches must be numbered consecutively starting from AV0001.

 For Cameras and Monitors the number must match the hardware address at

the AV Switch. There is no automatic checking whether the number is correct. Where a large number of Monitors and Cameras is installed it is recommended that the installing engineer develops a plan for the addressing process, so that the correct numbers can be entered into the CCTV/AV Configuration window.

Additional recommendations are as follows:

 Connect Cameras and Monitors to the low-numbered addresses at the

Switch in order to keep the number of AV Server namespace entries as

small as possible.

 For easier operations, define the most frequently used equipment with

numbers that will appear in the AV Player window, that is: AV0001 to AV0006 for AV Switches, M0001 to M0020 for Monitors, andC0001 to C0040 for Cameras.

NOTE

The CCTV Server system uses intrinsic addressing, so it is recommended that you do not change the address of the items once they have been configured. If you do, you may find that actions that use intrinsic addressing (for example, OPCWrite event actions) refer to a different item.

Defining the Number of Namespace Items

When you create and configure items for the CCTV Server, you need to give each item in the namespace a number. The range of numbers permitted is dependent on the number of items configured for the namespace.

A feature of the software allows the namespace items to be configured automatically. You can decide whether the total number of items in the namespace is based on the default number of names defined by DVR protocol, or whether it is based on a specific user-defined number.

Automatic configuration of the namespace items is useful for the initial software setup. It allows you to have a working system after just configuring a CCTV Server and an AV Switch with the DVR protocol defaults, and connecting the Cameras and Monitors to a valid address at the AV Switch.

CAUTION

DVR configuration should be performed by a system engineer or a system administrator. Although it is simple to use the DVR integration on a daily basis, the system engineer will need some specific knowledge of the DVR equipment in order to configure the hardware.

Switches, Cameras, Monitors, and Dry Contacts before programming the

AV software.

 The first 12 characters of named AV Switches, Monitors, and Cameras will

appear in the AV Player window (the full name for the item is displayed when the cursor hovers over the button or the button is selected). It is therefore useful to use names that have the first 12 characters unique and meaningful.

 Changes to the configuration settings will not take effect until the CCTV

Server has been restarted using the P2000 Service Control. This means that if it is currently running, you will need to stop it and then restart it.

 Provided the CCTV Server and AV Switch are configured, you can use the

equipment’s default settings.

CAUTION

In addition to the above notes, some protocols require additional steps or particular configuration settings. Chapter 4: Protocol Integration contains

some of that information, as available at the time of this publication. It is

recommended that you refer to the DVR’s manufacturer for further documentation and guidance on protocol-specific settings.

 The installation and operation of the DVR equipment must be done in

accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

 The DVR Equipment must be time-synchronized with the P2000 server.

Prog ID – An installed CCTV Server is associated with a Program ID. Select the Program ID for the CCTV Server. The default Program ID for the CCTV Server is JC.CCTV. Sub versions may be released from time to time (numbered consecutively starting with JC.CCTV1), but using JC.CCTV ensures that you use the latest version.

AV Switches

An AV Switch receives video inputs from Cameras and outputs the data to video outputs. Each Switch operates using the manufacturer’s protocol; the functionality of the AV Switch is largely determined by the protocol provided and the capacity of the equipment connected to the AV Switch. For a list of currently supported protocols, refer to

Creating and Configuring AV Switches

A DVR (Digital Video Recorder), also called an AV Switch, is connected to a PC with a CCTV Server running on it. The AV Switch will have a variety of equipment connected to it, including Monitors, Cameras, and Dry Contacts. Equipment connected to an AV Switch is presumed to be compatible with that specific

Switch. A CCTV Server system may include a number of separately connected

AV AV Switches, and each may use a different protocol. However, only one version of each protocol can be used within a P2000 system.

To establish communication and control, each AV Switch installed in your system must be set up and configured in the CCTV/AV Configuration window. At the highest level, this window displays the CCTV Server. To display icons for the AV Switches, expand the CCTV Server’s entry.

The alarm escalation feature provides for two different conditions when an alarm may be escalated:

 If an alarm is generated for a specific alarm category and there are currently

no operators logged into the P2000 that have privileges to receive alarms for that category.

 If an alarm is generated and remains pending for the configured escalation

timeout period.

If either of these conditions occurs, that alarm will be regenerated with an elevated escalation level. The escalation level will be incremented by the configured escalation increment value. This process may be repeated multiple times until a high enough escalation level is reached that matches the privileges of a currently logged in operator. If no operators are logged into the P2000, the alarm will be regenerated until the maximum escalation level is reached, and then no further action will be taken.

After an escalated alarm has been completed, the next occurrence of that alarm is created with no escalation level.

Enable – Select this check box to enable alarm escalation.

Escalation Repeat – Select this check box to allow for escalation to occur more than

once for the alarm. For example, if the Escalation Timeout is set to 30 minutes, and the Escalation Increment is set to 2, every half an hour the escalation value for alarms remaining in pending state will go up by 2 until it reaches the maximum value. If this check box is not selected, escalation can occur only once for this alarm.

Escalation based upon visibility – When this check box is selected, the alarm will be immediately escalated by a defined increment if, at the time of occurrence, no operator able to receive alarms from this Alarm Category is logged in.

OPERATION

The DVR operation is controlled through the AV Player user interface. Associated Cameras can be mapped to Input Points and Terminals. The AV Player software is part of the P2000 DVR application and, depending on equipment, provides controls to search and retrieve stored video clips, play live or stored video streams; take and store screenshot images and control AV Switches, CCTV Switches, Cameras, and Presets that are all part of the DVR system.

NOTE

The number of simultaneous connections allowed per DVR depends on the protocol and license. For proper functioning, do not exceed maximum allowed number of connections. While running, the P2000 AV Service, CCTV Server, and every instance of AV Player each consume one connection.

NOTE

Some graphic cards and drivers used with Windows 2003 Server are not compatible with the AV Player. Therefore, using the AV Player from a P2000 server with Windows 2003 Server operating system is not recommended.

USING P2000 FUNCTIONS

The DVR integration benefits from the following standard P2000 features:

 Event Actions

The equipment connected to the system is capable of responding to event actions launched from the P2000 software. For full details, refer to the appropriate sections later in this chapter and also to “Creating Actions” section in the P2000 Software

User Manual.

 Menu Permissions

AV Configuration items, Input to Camera, and AV Player are added to the menu items that can be granted menu permissions.

 Audit Trail

Changes to the database are listed in the audit trail. You can use the standard P2000 audit trail report for details.

24-10515-13 Rev. – 3-1

Operation DVR Integration Option

 Partitioning

If you are using Partitioning, all DVR-associated items should be in the same partition. However, there is no check in the software to prevent a user from setting up partitions that are not practicable. For example, if an AV Switch and Camera Preset are assigned to Partition A, and the Camera itself is assigned to Partition B, the operator logged on to Partition A would neither see the Camera nor be able to run the Preset unless they were made public.

DVR EVENT ACTIONS

A key advantage to DVR Integration is that you can program P2000 to react to events, activated either by the system or card activation, which will start or stop the recording of any detected moving image. The DVR equipment connected to the system can respond to event actions using the P2000 Event application. You can define event actions that start or stop a selected recording Camera, or define event actions that activate the Camera’s Preset, display the image from a particular Camera on a selected Monitor, adjust the recording quality (resolution/frame rate) of a selected Camera when a specific event occurs, and/or launch an AV Player on a selected workstation. You can also define events that start recording and archiving at the same time.

NOTE

When defining DVR event actions to adjust the camera recording quality, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for the ideal resolution/frame rate combination quality factor.

There are two standard action categories in the P2000 events that can be used to create a DVR event action:

 Audio-Visual action category

In this method you will select the camera by the name that you gave it when the Audio-Visual item was configured. The namespace tag is selected from a drop-down list of action types.

 OPC Server action category

Choose this method if the action that you wish to define is not available from the Audio-Visual category, or you have not fully configured the DVR equipment from the CCTV/AV Configuration window.

In this method you will select or browse for an OPC Server tag. Action type for OPC Server is “OPCWrite.” For details of the namespace tags and their values, refer to Appendix A: Namespace Definitions.

Both categories are accessible from the Action window.

ASSOCIATING CAMERAS TO INPUT POINTS OR

ERMINALS

Input to Camera is a tool that defines mappings between an Input Point or a Terminal and a Camera (or a Camera’s Preset).

24-10515-13 Rev. – 3-7

Operation DVR Integration Option

Input to camera mapping allows you to bring up camera image via Alarm Monitor and/or Real Time list. It does not automatically result in recording. In order to record you need to create a P2000 event.

For example, the operator may want to issue

a command to start recording image from a particular camera when an invalid card is swiped at a reader monitored by that camera. Such action is made possible by the mapping information that describes which camera is monitoring which alarm/event source.

All system configuration items such as T

erminals, Input Points, AV Switches, Cameras, and Presets must be registered in the P2000 database before using the Input to Camera application.

 To limit the number of connections used it is recommended that rather than

use the P2000 AV Player, you configure the DVN software to display popup videos. A DVN application called SiteManager can respond to incoming DVN alarms by popping up a video window for the associated camera. SiteManager uses only a single DVN connection to handle all video from a given DVN, no matter how many windows are displayed. For the instructions on how to configure the SiteManager application refer to the DVN user documentation provided with your DVN system.

General Notes

 Before installing or re-installing P2000, any existing Genetec Omnicast SDK must

be manually un-installed.

 For configuration, Genetec uses the Omnicast Server and the Omnicast Config Tool.

Defining Dry Contacts

In the Omnicast Server, Dry Contacts are called digital inputs.

The Logical ID of the digital

input in the Genetec “Physical View” must match the

Number of the Dry Contact in the P2000 system. See the following example:

24-10515-13 Rev. – 4-3

Protocol Integration DVR Integration Option

Genetec Alarm Messages

The P2000 can receive the following alarm types from Genetec:

 Motion

 Behavior

 Video Loss

 Dry Contact

These alarms must be defined in the Omnicast Config Tool.

Each alarm type had a Logical ID assigned

to it. The Logical IDs in the P2000

system must match the Logical IDs defined under Genetec “Alarm Management.”

The default values for Logical IDs used in P2000 are listed in Table 4-2. In the rare cases when the value must be modified (e.g. if

a default value is already used by Genetec for a different type of alarm) refer to the procedure described in “Changing Default Alarm Logical IDs” on page 4-5.

Additionally, each camera defined on the Omnicast Server needs to have an action created to trigger an a

larm. See the following table for some of the event types corresponding to P2000 alarms. For additional Omnicast event types contact a Genetec representative.

P2000 Alarm Type Genetec Event Types

Motion Motion on

Loitering Tailgating

Video Loss Camera not archiving 

RTP packets lost Signal lost Transmission lost

P2000 Alarm Messages

The P2000 can send “P2000 Alarm” messages to the Omnicast Server in the following format: “P2000 Alarm for camera ID <camera id>.”

The alarm must be defined in the Omnicast Config Tool.

As for other alarm types in Genetec integration with P2000, the Logical IDs in th P2000 system must match the Logical IDs defined under Genetec “Alarm Management.” The default value for Logical ID used in P2000 is listed in Table 4-2.

In the rare cases when the value must be modified (e.g. if a default value is already used by Genetec for a different type of alarm) refer to the procedure described in “Changing Default Alarm Logical IDs” on page 4-5.

NOTE

The default display on the Omnicast Live Viewer shows the alarm, but does not show the text of the message as generated by the P2000. For information on how to change the Live Viewer settings in order to display messages created using the Genetec SDK contact a Genetec representative. The methods used are “GenerateAlarmWithContext” and “GenerateAlarmWithContext2.”

Changing Default Alarm Logical IDs

In some instances, a Logical ID used by Genetec for a particular alarm type is different from the default Logical ID defined in P2000. By editing the computer registry on the P2000 server you can change the default P2000 settings.

In order to create a custom Logical ID you need to create a

Known Issues

 When a recorder fails to get actual playback time from its index, Nice video

retrieval can take 20-30 seconds.

 Changing the video recording quality works correctly on bit rate change, but

not on frame rate change. As a workaround, it is recommended that you configure the Nice recorder with pre-configured recording parameters, and then change configuration rather than change recording quality directly.

Time Synchronization

All Nice recorders must synchronize time with the P2000 server. However, they cannot become P2000 clients directly. Instead, you need to configure the Nice AMS server as a client of the P2000 server. Then, you must synchronize Nice recorders with the Nice AMS server. The recommended configuration is illustrated in  Figure 4-2.

For example, when someone is operating a PTZ camera on the Panasonic DVR with a level 1 account, the AV Player's PTZ camera control functions will be disabled on all P2000 workstations with level 2, 3, or 4 accounts until the level 1 user logs out.

 Alarms are not buffered on NVR, therefore the P2000 must be operational to receive

alarms.

 For proper functioning you must add camera 32 as a “dummy” camera. To configure

camera 32, copy all settings from an actual operational camera and change the camera name to “virtual.”

 The DVR’s Panasonic alarm protocol must be enabled and configured to send

notifications to the P2000. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for instructions.

 Alarm suspension prevents the P2000 from receiving alarms, therefore the “alarm

suspend” feature should be disabled for all users. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for instructions.

 Panasonic ND300 or ND300A allow for maximum of 8 simultaneous users per

DVR. One user account is used by the P2000 server, so there can be up to

7 instances of AV Player running on P2000 workstations. When an 8th instance of AV Player logs on, the 1st instance will be disconnected.

For each P2000 workstation that will run AV Player, you need to create a separate user account on the ND300 or ND300A. The account must use the workstation’s computer name for login and the same password as defined for the AV switch on page 2-10.

For detailed instructions on creating ND300 or ND300A user accounts, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.

 Alarms are sent to the P2000 using TCP/IP port 1818, therefore it is recommended

that you use one Panasonic DVR with the P2000. Additional Panasonic DVRs may cause error messages when trying to use the same TCP/IP port for communications.

 The TCP/IP port 1818 at the host must not be blocked by firewalls.
