ENDURA SYSTEM MANAGEMENT

The SM5200 is a network appliance that serves as the system
management component of the Pelco Endura
manages the discovery and registration of all Endura components
and cameras on the network.

When registering Pelco cameras and encoders, the SM5200 acts as
a secure key server. Acting as a secure public/private key exchange
allows Pelco video encoders and cameras to securely sign
compressed video. This can be used to authenticate video from the
source as needed for law enforcement agencies or other evidentiary
requirements.

The SM5200 monitors the health and functionality of all components
on the network. Device diagnostics are logged in the SM5200’s
database. In addition, the SM5200 logs user activities such as logon,
logoff, alarm response, and initiation of video export.

As a management server, the SM5200 hosts user rights and
permissions. Credentials are authenticated with the SM5200’s
database before allowing a user to log onto any Endura client.
Endura clients work in conjunction with user configurations stored in
the SM5200 to expose functions and language preferences
configured for each role and user account. This improves operator
efficiency and minimizes training requirements. The SM5200 can
also interact with an LDAP server supported by Microsoft
Active Directory®for user authentication.

system. The SM5200

The SM5200 hosts the Endura Script Manager, allowing scripted
responses to be executed on a given alarm condition, a programmed
schedule, or by manual initiation. The unit also hosts an NTP server,
enabling the SM5200 to act as an NTP proxy between an atomic or
GPS-based NTP server and the components on the Endura network.
In the absence of an external NTP server, the SM5200 can act as the
time source for Endura cameras and servers; however, the system
will be subject to time drift inherent with COTS servers. The SM5200
also provides a DHCP server that can issue and manage DHCP
addresses and leases for Endura components and cameras on the
network.

The SM5200 is designed for the demands of a mission critical
surveillance system. To ensure continuous uptime, the SM5200 is
equipped with two solid state drives (SSD) containing the operating
system in a RAID 1 configuration. In addition, redundant fans and the
option of RAID 5 storage for exported video content provide
insurance against hardware failures that could compromise data
integrity. Users can also configure a series of up to 24 SM5200s to
act in a failover capacity; the members of the failover cluster can be
prioritized to take over system management responsibilities should
the primary unit fall offline.

®

Dual Gigabit Ethernet network ports allow the SM5200 to act as a
proxy between two networks, enabling network administrators to
manage the impact of surveillance video on shared network links.
Network port 1 is available for Endura network traffic. Network
port 2 supports IPv6 and is used for remote access only.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

WEB INTERFACE FOR REMOTE ACCESS

The SM5200 provides a browser-based interface for remote video viewing with minimal overhead*. Administrators with appropriate permissions can
enable or disable remote access to the SM5200 through the WS5200, and limit the bandwidth available from the server to remote browsers through
the system manager’s Web interface. This allows administrators to effectively manage the impact on shared networks. For security purposes, all
remote access is initiated using HTTPS over a configurable, secure port. Administrators can also grant or limit user access to remote live view, search,
playback, and export functions.

A browser-based status dashboard provides vital diagnostic information on the health of the system. Administrators with the proper credentials can
remotely view the status of the hardware and configure the SM5200 through a Web browser. Integrated SNMP services can also provide network
administrators with hardware and software status information.

The SM5200 Web interface allows users to stream live or recorded video in either motion JPEG or H.264 formats. The SM5200’s online, real-time
transcoder can convert up to 16 high resolution, high bit rate IP streams from megapixel cameras into MJPEG frames, enabling users to stream video
from compatible browsers without installing additional software. Installing the Pelco Media Plugin allows users to stream full-quality H.264 video
directly from the system manager through their browser
simultaneously.

A single user can view up to 16 streams of live video footage across network bandwidths as low as 256 kbps. On networks limited to 128 kbps, users
can view up to four feeds in a 2x2 window. Users with appropriate credentials can also search for recorded video on Pelco NSM5200 units by camera,
time, date, and recording triggers (manual, continuous, motion, or alarm). Search results can be viewed in a 1x1 interface with standard play, pause,
fast-forward, and rewind functions, as well as a scrub bar to quickly pinpoint the segment of video required for an investigation.

Recorded video segments can also be exported through the Web interface. Video clips exported from the Endura network are automatically stored
on the SM5200’s integrated storage array for safekeeping and future download. Videos are stored in the proprietary PEF format. This is the native
format of the cameras involved and ensures that videos retain their original resolution and authentication signatures, supporting their use for
evidentiary purposes.

This Endura distributed, network-based product is available only to certified dealers/integrators. Please contact your local sales representative for details on certification applications and
requirements. Additional information on Endura products and certifications may be found at http://www.pelco.com/endura.

*The system manager Web interface is designed for light to moderate Endura users. When accessing Endura in installations with 1,500 cameras or more, the

WS5200 client software should be used.

To view video using the Pelco Media Plugin (PMP), UDP port 57341 must be open and the client must be able to receive unobstructed UDP traffic directly from

the system manager.
