Siemens Building Technologies Fire Safety & Security Products 01.2008
1 Description of functions
SISTORE MX is a hybrid video recording system for the surveillance of rooms, premises, buildings, production workshops, critical public areas or any outdoor areas where security is important.
SISTORE MX offers the following functions:
– Simultaneous recording of up to 64 cameras, depending on the model
– Simultaneous display of all cameras for live surveillance at the same time as
recording
SISTORE MX easily adapts to your application, both with regard to your various different alarm triggers such as for instance cameras, light barriers etc., and also in case of alarms to control your various external devices such as for instance sirens, alarm systems, lighting etc.
By defining different alarm configurations, you also have the opportunity to adjust the video recording to the actual surveillance task in question and thereby maximise the performance of your system.
In addition, SISTORE MX possesses a user administration function. By issuing different user rights, it allows for each user to have access to certain functions on an individual basis according to his/her range of tasks; such access may also be denied to others.
The delivery includes, free of charge, the SISTORE Player program in addition to the SISTORE MX program itself. SISTORE Player gives you the capability to replay video recordings or exported AVI sequences.
The delivery also includes SISTORE MX RemoteView. Using SISTORE RemoteView, you have the opportunity to remote access (via LAN or ISDN) the system in order to revise the recorded videos and to watch camera pictures live. Here SISTORE MX RemoteView functions as a client accessing a SISTORE MX server. When operating SISTORE MX with separate hard disks, SISTORE MX RemoteView enables you to carry out local playback on an external PC.

7 Prerequisites
7.1 Hardware requirements
SISTORE MX integrates a video compression board (or frame grabber) that features up to 16 (MX 3204) / 32 (MX 3232 - 3208) video inputs, depending on the model.
SISTORE MX 3204 SISTORE MX 3208 - 3232
4 video inputs 8, 16, 32 video inputs
The video data is stored on local hard disks. Saving on optical CD-R/CD-RW odrr DVD-R/DVD-RW drives is possible directly from SISTORE MX (see Section
17.16.2: Burning image sequences to CD/DVD).
7.2 Resolution and file format
The files stored by SISTORE MX have the extension .AVI or .k26. The resolution of the stored images is (by using normal resolution) 352 x 288 pixel and (by using high resolution) 704 x 288 pixel.
NOTE:
From version 2.35 on, SISTORE MX saves all files as *.k26 files instead of *.avi files. The SISTORE player makes no difference between these two file types. The *.k26 files can however not be reproduced using other movie player models (data protection of the SISTORE MX video files).
The user should therefore always copy the file „SISTOREPlayer.exe“ from the Windows directory (e.g. \Windows) to the target data medium (disk, CD-R/CD-RW, DVD-R/DVD-RW or network drive) using the Windows explorer. This ensures that the exported files can be reproduced using the SISTORE player. Alternatively, since Version 2.45, the data can be stored without data protection as *.avi files which can be played with standard movie player. For detailed information about data protection see Section
17: Playback.
7.3 Conversion
As of version 2.35, SISTORE MX automatically converts the configurations of the preceding version to the current version. Nevertheless, we would like to emphasize that you should check your configuration without fail after an update.
NOTE:
A conversion of older versions (earlier than version 2.35) is not possible. It is also not possible to take over settings for event-triggered recordings and scenarios from the preceding versions (earlier than version 2.55). These are deleted during the conversion.
Operating modes
19
Siemens Building Technologies Fire Safety & Security Products 01.2008
8 Operating modes
There are three operating modes:
z Display mode z Playback mode z Configuration mode
8.1 Display mode
After starting SISTORE MX, you will be in display mode. From here, after successful login to the system, it is possible to access the configuration and playback modes, insofar as you have the appropriate user authorisation to do so. “Display mode” is intended for operating or surveillance staff while the system is in operation. The cameras and all incoming events are displayed and recorded here. It is also used for flexible live surveillance of all cameras.
8.2 Playback mode
The playback and/or revision of recordings is carried out in this mode. It is based on an extremely high performance database and allows fast and easy tracking of received alarms and their respective video sequences with all relevant additional information. It is also possible to save important pictures in currently used formats or even whole video sequences as “evidence“. Access to the “playback mode” is only possible with the “Playback“ user authorisation.
8.3 Configuration mode
All system settings are defined in this mode (please refer to the Configuration Manual). The opportunity exists to issue user authorisations (see Section
11 User rights ). The configuration of the system and the “display mode” as well as the definition of recording modes can be defined here. As recording modes can be chosen:
z long-time recording with or without motion detection z event-triggered recording with pre-alarm history and alarm memory.
This ensures that the system can be flexibly adapted to cover the widest possible range of applications. Access to the “configuration mode” is restricted to users with the “Configuration“ authorisation.

The available disk capacity is shown in four stages in the status line, two of these are shown as a graph display.
Stage 1: The disk capacity which is already occupied is shown as a percentage
in the form of a blue bar.
Stage 2: As stage 1, but showing the estimated remaining recording time. This is
an estimate because the system does not display the actual remaining recording time but, instead, measures the data volume that can still be saved and displays it as an estimated available remaining recording time. The system uses the actual settings (frame rate, image size) as a basis for this estimate.
Stage 3: Shows in text form the designation of the hard disk where current
recording is taking place, the disk's available capacity and its maximum capacity.
Stage 4: Shows in text form the available capacity and the maximum capacity of
all hard disks authorised for recording.
The display form set last is stored and used automatically again when SISTORE MX is restarted. This does not apply to SISTORE MX RemoteView.
RemoteView status displays
There are several server-related status displays on the RemoteView. In multi­server mode, the server whose status is to be displayed must be selected in the list of cameras.
The status displays always relate to the server that is associated with the selected camera.
The server-related status displays include:
z Time z Alarm outputs z HDD capacity indicator z Recording duration z Start/stop of recording
Global status displays for all servers include:
z Motion z Alarm z Loss of video z Camera tamper z Error z Connection
