Alarm Component Installation Manual 3
1 Introduction
This manual is intended for administrators of WebCCTV and is applicable for version 4.5.0.0
WebCCTV can be replaced by GuardNVR in this manual at all times.
The WebCCTV server has to be installed in order to install the Alarm Component.
The Alarm Component is an add-on of WebCCTV which allows the server to receive and store
input alarms/events from external devices. Alarms can be generated in different ways:
Hardware Alarms:
Physical alarm-input device (screw-block to attach physical wires) attached at the
back of the WebCCTV unit together with a digitizer card (Picolo Pro series)
PMD I/O Device (screw-block to attach physical wires) attached to the WebCCTV
unit via a USB cable
Physical alarm input connected to the I/O contacts of the camera
Software Alarms:
Alarms by the OPC A&E protocol; hence you are able to connect any OPC A&E
compliant alarm server to the WebCCTV Alarm Component
Alarms by the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), an xml-based data format for
exchanging public warnings and emergencies between alerting technologies. CAP
allows a warning message to be consistently disseminated simultaneously over many
warning systems to many applications
MvRedlight Alarm Driver allows capturing traffic monitoring events
Generic Alarms triggered using the WebCCTV SDK
POS Alarms:
Generic POS Alarms allows for the generation of tickets (events) in an easy way for
different purposes. This is done by SDK.
Serial Port POS Driver allows capturing tickets (events) sent by POS devices.
NAMOS POS Driver is a customized driver for NAMOS based POS applications.
TP.NET POS Driver is a PosLog compliant driver which allows capturing tickets
(events) that are transmitted over the network by using the PosLog standard.
