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.

Actions

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.

“Supported Protocols” on page 1-4.
