IP Video Management System (VMS)

The EE500 Series EnduraXpress™ combines the performance,
reliability, and robustness of an enterprise-class, mission-critical
storage management system. It offers ease of installation and
management that is critical for delivering a cost-effective solution
to small-scale installations.

Hardware Built for Performance and Reliability

The demands of surveillance applications place unique strains on
storage subsystems. Storage systems require the bandwidth and
capacity to keep up with incoming streams. They must also
simultaneously manage all other common disk and RAID functions.
Additionally, physical security applications are typically mission
critical. Any downtime, degraded performance for routine
maintenance, or loss of recorded footage is extremely disruptive to
the organization’s physical security mission.

The EE500 Series is engineered to meet these unique performance
and reliability demands. Custom hardware components have been
specifically designed to deliver sustained high throughput for
recording and playback. The EE500 Series can handle a maximum of
250 Mbps of sustained write throughput across 32 or 64 streams and
an additional 32 simultaneous playback streams. This performance
is maintained whether the system is operating under normal
conditions, dealing with disk drive errors, or rebuilding the RAID
array.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The EE500 Series improves the total cost of ownership and energy
efficiency by consolidating disparate components into a single
chassis. The integration of the recording server, recording software,
and storage array into a highly optimized chassis can easily support
standard resolution and megapixel camera recording workloads.
The purpose-built, highly optimized design reduces annual operating
costs by eliminating the cost of additional servers and the
associated heating, ventilation, and cooling requirements they
introduce.

Reliability is enhanced through the use of redundancy at all common
failure points. A CompactFlash card hosts the operating system for
higher reliability over traditional hard disk drives. To mitigate any
downtime resulting from CompactFlash errors, the database is
striped across the storage array. The RAID 6 storage configuration
provides double parity protection of recorded data. The hard drive
bay is cooled through the use of high capacity, redundant fans to
ensure that the drives are kept at an optimum operating temperature.
Finally, fully redundant power supplies guard against any power
supply failure.

As with any other system, maintenance is an important and vital part
of sustained operation. The EE500 Series incorporates various
innovations to make maintenance more efficient and to allow the
system to continue operating at peak performance levels. Easy
access to hard disk drives and the CompactFlash card is available
from the front panel. A unique rail system allows access to a failed
fan should it need to be replaced. Temperature sensors throughout
the chassis detect possible airflow obstruction or clogged intake

®

filters. The use of enterprise-class SAS

technology provides
advanced enclosure management and monitoring. Notifications of
potential or actual issues are transmitted to the specified user
interfaces for action through Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) messages and traps.

If additional storage capacity is required, the capacity can be
expanded using third-party storage arrays with an optional fibre
channel interface.

Software Built for Flexibility, Reliability, and Cost
Optimization

The EE500 Series incorporates a wizard-driven installation
procedure that guides the integrator through a step-by-step
installation, which automates most processes. The integrated
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server provides DHCP
addresses to IP cameras or client workstations. The integrated
network time protocol manager can be directed at a network time
server, or it can act as the time source for all cameras and client
workstations on the network. The deterministic performance of the
hardware and software combination allows integrators to easily
estimate, size, and configure the system to meet their storage and
performance requirements.

Cameras from the EE500 Series are viewed through a PC running

®

the supplied Endura

workstation client software. The software
provides access to all operation and configuration features in a
unified, intuitive graphical user interface. The interface utilizes drag
and drop operations, keyboard shortcuts, built-in ToolTips, and online
Help to enable the most direct, intuitive interactions with cameras
and components distributed across the network. In addition,
operators can add Endura viewing devices such as the VCD5202 for
virtual-matrix style control and network decoders to build out a
monitor wall for surveillance operations. Finally, the optional
mapping interface allows for a comprehensive view of the entire
facility with integrated alarm monitoring and visual verification
capabilities.

The EE500 Series software easily accommodates standard
resolution, high definition (HD), and megapixel camera sources;
decodes MPEG-4 and H.264 (Baseline, Main, and High profiles);

™

includes support for Zone of Interest

; direct PTZ control and digital
zoom; alarm management; includes the option of utilizing camera
sources with intelligent video content analysis at the edge; efficient
search and export mechanisms; and a complete administration and
configuration console.

The EE500 Series includes built-in support for Pelco IP cameras.
Third-party cameras can be added using an optional UDI5000-CAM
universal device interface. Additional user interfaces, including
network decoders and virtual console displays, can be added to
expand viewing capabilities into a full virtual matrix.

As the needs for the physical security system change over time, the
EE500 Series can be integrated with an Endura system to provide
unrestricted scalability and expandability to support more cameras
with greater retention. When integrated with an Endura system, the
EE500 functions as an independent 32- or 64-channel network video
recorder (NVR). The Endura system can support multiple EE500s and
NSM5200 Series recorders. NSM5200 devices can monitor
individual EE500s for failover. NSM5200s provide the additional
benefit of being configured in storage pools for N+N failover support
in mission-critical applications.
