TIME SYNC

The Time Sync option synchronizes a single channel of video to playback in real time. Ordinarily the video may playback slower or

faster depending on several factors, including how many PPS recorded and number of cameras playing at the same time.

1. Select a single image to synchronize by double-clicking on an image.

2. Click the Time Sync Button. The video will now playback in real time.

CLEAN IMAGE

The IPR unit is capable of recording video using one of three different resolutions. When using the 720 x 480 resolution, two fields are

mixed. Because of the timing gap b etween the two fields, according to the standardized image rules, after image might occur to high

speed moving images. The Surveillix IPR unit allows the user to remove this by clicking the Clean Image Button.

57

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME

The IPR automatically adjusts for D aylight Savings Ti me changes.

When the hour “jumps forward” no video is l ost because an hour is

skipped. However when the hour “falls back” there is a duplic ated

hour that under normal circumstances would be recorded over. The

Surveillix IPR actually records both hours and allows the user to

select which hour to play if the need arises.

To access the ‘lost hour’:

1. From the Search screen, select the Calendar Button.

2. Select the date when Daylight Savings time ‘lost’ an hour. An option appears which says Daylight Saving.

3. To play back the ‘lost hour’, select the Daylight Savings option.

4. Click OK to confirm the date and begin playing the video using standard search features.

SAVE TO JPG OR AVI

The IPR unit can export single imag es in the Image file formats and save video clips in an .AVI format. Both .JPG and .AVI file fo rmats

are the most commonly used graphical formats today. Virtually every computer offers some type of support for these file formats which

make them the most ideal formats to use.

JPG Optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale photographic

images, .JPG images are 24-bit (16.7 million color) graphics.

Use .JPG to export a single image or frame.

AVI .AVI image data can be s tored uncompressed, but it is typically

compressed using a Windows -supplied or thi rd party

compression and deco mpression module called a codec. .AVI

is used to export a video clip.

1 Export Type Export a single image or .AVI video clip. (The user may choose the format for the image,

different formats provide different file-sizes, quality and compatibility)

2 AVI Duration Enter duration (in seconds) for recording the .AVI file. Although 100 is the longest

displayed, a manual time may be entered.

3 Compression Codec Choose the codec with which to encode the .AVI file. Each codec provides different levels

of quality, compatibility and file-size.

4 Image Quality It may be necessary to reduce the overall si ze of an .AVI file; for example, to email to

someone. .AVI file sizes can be reduced by reducing the image qua lity. However,

reducing the i mage quality causes the .AVI v ideo to appear more pixilated. When size is

not an issue, setting quality to 100 is highly recommended.

5 Export Begins the saving process. (Cancel Button exits without exporting.)

58

SINGLE CLIP BACKUP

Along with the Save option, a single camera backup option is also included with the Surveillix software. T he single Camera or Clip

Backup allows the user to backup a single camera without having to backup multiple cameras at a giv en time. The Clip Backup option

gives the users the ability to choose a backup time frame, cho ose a specific camera, add memos, and even make a copy for the

Backup Viewer if needed.

1 Drive Selects the drives data will be saved on.

2 Backup Start/End Sets the time that the Clip Backup will

start and end.

3 Include Viewer Saves a copy of the Backup Vi ewer

software with the exported video.

4 Add Memo Displays a Clip Information Menu for

entering information to be stored and

displayed with the backup.

5 Channel Selects the camera channels that will be

backed up.

PREVIEW SEARCH

Preview Search can be used i n a number of circumstances to quickly find an exact moment where an event, such as a theft, occurred.

The Preview Search gives a 24 Hou r visual overview of a single camera by separating a 24 hour period (1 d ay) into 24 images, one

image for each hour of the day. The search can then be further narrowed down into ten minute i ncrements and one minute increments

by selecting one of the images displayed.

These example images show how the Preview Search functions.

The first screen that appears has 24 images displayed. Each image represents the first second of each hour. If there is no image

recorded during that period then nothing will be displayed.

When an hour is selected (by double cl icking on the image), a new screen appears with 6 images. Each of these images represents a

10 minute segment of video within the selected hour.

Once a 10 minute segment is select ed (by double-clicking on the i mage) the final screen appears which breaks down that 10 mi nute

segment into 1 minute increments (10 images).

BACKING UP VIDEO DATA

This chapter includes the following information:

•••• Overview

•••• Saving Video to a DVD-R

•••• Saving Video from a single camera

•••• Scheduling Regular Video Backup

72

BACKUP OVERVIEW

The IPR can easily backup important video data to an internal or external media location. The most c ommonly used forms of this are

CD-R/RWs, External USB or FireWire Hard Drives, and Network Drives. Ev ery IPR unit comes standard equipped with a DVD±RW

drive, USB port, and Network Adapter.

The IPR is capable of performing a backup to multiple DVDs when the file s izes exceed the capacity of a single disk. You may also

specify multiple locations for backup as well as the order they are recorded to.

The IPR backs up video data using a proprietary compression format that can only be read by the IPR Backup Program. This ensures

the integrity of the data.

Throughout the backup process the IPR will continue recording without interruption. This is the result of the tremendous multiplexing

power of the IPR unit which allows it to perform virtually all functions without disrupting the recording process.

NERO® EXPRESS

The IPR unit uses Windows® XP® Embedded running Nero® Express 6.0 to write da ta to the DVD-R Drive. This solution allows the

IPR software to read and write data to the DVD-R Drive without the requirement of formatting the disk first.

CAUTION: Although many features are available within Nero, it is highly recommended that you do NOT

use any features other than those necessary for the standard backup of video data as outlined in this

section, loss of information or software instability may result.

BACKUP CENTER OVERVIEW

The Backup Center all ows you to back up recorded video data from multiple dates and times to one or more locations including the

DVD-R drive, Network Storage Locations, and External Hard Drives.

•••• Overview

•••• Configuring TCP/IP Settings

•••• Connecting to a LAN

78

LAN OVERVIEW

The IPR unit can easily be connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) and uses Microsoft’s® po werful and secure Windows® XP

Embedded operating system. This a llows for easy and well-documented instructions on setting up LAN connections no matter what

type of LAN you want to use.

A LAN is a group of computers and other devices dispersed over a relatively limited area and connected by a communications link that

allows one device to interact with any other on the network.

Examples of LAN connections include Ethernet, Token Ring, cable modems, DSL, FDDI, IP over ATM, IrDA (Infrared), wireless, and

ATM-emulated LANs. Emulated LANs are based on virtual adapter drivers such as the LAN Emulation Protocol.

There are many reasons why using Microsoft® Windows ® XP Embedded is superior to other platforms when running on a LAN. T he

number one reason is security. Windows XP Embedded is based on NT technology, which, historically has boasted the most reliable

and secure Operating System in the world. Running the IPR on a secure network i s important to prevent unwanted users from gaining

access to confidential information. Unwanted users can compromise the integrity of the confidential data being stored and viewed, and

in extreme circumstances can cause irreparable damage to the network.

Since connecting the IPR unit to a network can be extremely complex (depending on the network), this Surveillix IPR manual will

cover only the basics. It is suggested that the administrator c onsult a Vendor or IT Administrator before attempting to create or

connect to a LAN.

CONNECTING TO A LAN USING TCP/IP

The networking options of the IPR unit can create and edit all Network settings available on Windows XP Embedded. The IPR unit

comes equipped with a 100/1000 Gigabit NIC. This card uses a standard RJ-45 connector.

The IPR unit comes preconfigured with an IP Address of [172.25.2.1] and a subnet mask of [255.255.0.0]. These IP settings will work

for many users. If these IP settings are sufficient then re-configuring TCP/IP will not be necessary.

Configuring TCP/IP Settings

1. Exit and restart in Windows mode.

2. Right-click on the My Network Places icon located on the desktop and select Properties. The Network Connections window

opens.

3. Right-click Local Area Connections and select Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties window opens.

4. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) by clicking on it once. Once it is highlighted, s elect the Properties Button. The Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window opens.

5. Select Use the Following IP Address option. Enter the IP A ddress and Subnet mask appropriate for the network. It is

recommended to contact the Network Administrator for appropriate IP settings.

Example: a. Common IP addresses are 10.0.0.25

b. Common Subnet masks are 255.255.255.0

NOTE: In order to connect to the IPR unit through a remote LAN connection, a static IP address must be assi gned. I f the network
assigns the IP address automatically (DHCP), contact the Network Administrator for help assigning a static IP address.

6. If the network requires you to specify the DNS information, enter it now by selecting the appropriate DNS options.

7. When finished configuring the TCP/IP settings close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window by clicking the OK Button.

8. Close the Local Area Connection Properties window by clicking the OK Button.

9. It may be required to restart Windows for the changes to take effect. Restart windows by selecting START on the desktop and

selecting Restart.

Connecting the IPR to a LAN

Using a standard RJ-45 cable, plug one end into a Hub (or Network Jack ultimately connected to a hub) and the other end into the IPR

unit.

Username and Password protected

Easy to use graphical interface

Basics:

75 users can access the Web IPR simultaneously. The Web IPR is an easy secure way to view live video from virtually any computer

with an internet connection using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

In order to log i n to the IPR server, a user account m ust be made for the use r. This ensures that only authorized p ersonnel are

allowed to log in. In a ddition, each user can be assigned different privileges that allow them or deny th em access to different

functions. For example, a user can be granted access to only view cameras 4, 8 and 16.

1 Screen Division Buttons Allow you to view one or more sets of cameras at a time. They are organized in several

different groups such as 1x1, 4x4, and 8x8.
