Functional overview

Network video server

Receiver

DVR

The VideoJet 1000 is a network video server. Its primary function is to decode and encode video, audio and control data for transmission over an IP network. Because it uses existing networks, rapid and simple integration into CCTV installations via local networks can be achieved.

The VideoJet 1000 is designed either as a desktop unit or for building into equipment cabinets. Using the appropriate mounting frame, installation of a single unit or two units alongside each other on a 19“ shelf is possible.

Two units, i.e. a VideoJet 1000 as transmitter and a VideoJet 1000 as receiver, can form a stand alone system for data transfer without a PC. The system can be extended to include additional transmitters and receivers so that video images from one transmitter can be simultaneously received on a number of receivers.

The appropriate VideoJet 1000 or a computer with installed decoding software, e.g. VIDOS from VCS or with the installed web browser Microsoft Internet Explorer, can be used as a receiver.

Due to the integrated hard disk the VideoJet 1000 can also function as a digital video recorder allowing for local long-time recording.

Product Description

Video encoding/ Multicast

Remote control

Configuration

Snapshots

The VideoJet 1000 operates with the video compression standards MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Thanks to efficient MPEG-2 encoding, the data bit rate remains low even with high image quality and, in addition, can be matched into the local environment within wide limits. In this process, simultaneous encoding of the video signal according to MPEG-4 is supported, so that concurrent transmission using low bandwidth, e.g for Internet streaming, is possible.

In suitably configured networks, simultaneous transmission in real time to a number of receivers is possible using the Multicast function. A requirement here is the implementation of the UDP and IGMP protocols on the network.

For the remote control of external equipment, e.g. remote pan and tilt heads or motorized zoom lenses, the control data are transmitted via the bidirectional serial interface of the VideoJet 1000. This interface is also available for the transmission of transparent data.

Configuration of the VideoJet 1000 can be carried out using a browser via the local network (Intranet) or from the Internet.

Similarly, firmware updates and rapid loading of equipment configurations are also possible.

Individual video frames (snapshots) can be called up in JPEG format by the VideoJet 1000, stored on the computer hard drive or can be displayed in a separate browser window.

Back-up

VideoJet 1000

Can be accomplished from either the livepage or directly from the HDD-Replay mode through a simple mouse click.

Motion detector

The VideoJet 1000 contains an integrated video sensor, which on the basis of the video processing can register changes in the video signal. These changes are primarily initiated by movement in the field of view of the camera.

The sensitivity of the video sensor can be adjusted, so that an alarm is generated only if a given threshold is exceeded.

In order for the alarm to operate, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

The motion detection must be activated.

At least one cell must be activated.

VideoJet 1000

Configuration with Web Browser

Individual parameters must be matched to the environmental conditions and to the required responses.

The sensitivity must be set to a value >0.

Warning!

Light reflections (e.g. in glass facades), switching on or off of floodlights or light level changes caused by cloud movement in bright daylight can cause undesirable responses from the video sensor and thereby generate false alarms. Carry out a number of tests for different day and night time conditions in order to ensure correct operation of the video sensor.

For surveillance of indoor areas, ensure a constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night.

Uniform surfaces without contrast can trigger false alarms even with uniform lighting.

In the basic setup the hard disk is configurated as one single partition which is adequate for most of the applications.

If permanent storage of video sequences on the hard disk is necessary the setup of more than one partition is crucial because after recording of the regarding sequences another partition can be activated to eliminate any possibility of overwriting.

The hard disk of the VideoJet 1000 can handle up to 8 partitions, configured in the same way a typical hard disk for a computer is. With each partition the parameters can be individually defined in ways like size, quality, type of video recording and compression standard. Changes in these parameters result in a complete reorganization and as a result previously saved data on the partition will be deleted.

Configuration with Web Browser

All the partitions can be viewed in the table on the page listed by name, order number, recording format/video quality, recording type and partition size.

This page also provides a complete overview of the hard disk information. It provides the total size of the hard disk, total number of partitions created on the hard disk, how much space has been used for partitions, and the size of idle hard disk memory in MBytes.

A pie chart is also provided giving a visual graphic of how the hard disk has been allocated. It differentiates between MPEG-2, MPEG4, I-Frame and free space.

Note

You can only activate one partition on the hard disk at a time for recording.

Activation of another partition is not automatic, it must be done manually.

Partition type:

Choose here in which mode the recordings will be saved on the partition.

Time lapse mode:

The recordings will be saved to the partition as planned in the recording scheduler. However once the maximum storing capacity has been met for the partition the recording process will stop. In that case further recording on this partition is only possible if the partition is reorganised.

Ring mode:

In Ring mode the newest recordings are recorded over the oldest recordings once the maximum storage capacity has been achieved. E.g. if the maximum storage capacity of the partition allows for a recording of 24 hours to be saved the recordings will then run in a continues 24 hour loop. Only the last 24 hours of recordings will be able to be viewed.

Partition size:

Here is where you need to choose how many alarms can be recorded on the partition (max. 128) and the alarm pre- and postrecording time lengths.

Also here you can select the partition size either by choosing how long of a recording time you require or by setting the amount of MBytes you would like to use in this partition - in both cases the missing value will automatically be set.

Alarm recording:

This is where you program the time spans where the alarm triggered recordings will be active.

The VideoJet 1000 disposes of a special recording mode for alarm recording to optimize storage capacity utilization: with the beginning of a respective time slot continuous recording starts on a segment the size of a complete alarm sequence (pre- and post-alarm). This segment on the partition works like a ring buffer and is overwritten again and again until an alarm is actually triggered. After that recording on this segment will go on for the time predefined for post-alarm recording and then a new segment will be used in the same way.

For this reason the recorded alarm file is always complete in length when saved to the hard drive and the recording space necessary for each alarm recording can be calculated easily. A partition can record up to 128 alarm activations; when the partition is in ring mode it will always contain the most recent alarm recordings in the predefined number.

Subnet mask:

Enter here the corresponding subnet address if the unit is to communicate via a subnet.

Gateway IP address:

Enter here the appropriate IP address if the unit is to independently establish a connection outside of the local network. This field can otherwise remain empty (0.0.0.0).

Warning!

Multicast operation is only possible using the UDP protocol. The TCP protocol does not support any multicast connection.

Multicast streaming:

Along with a 1:1 connection between a transmitter and a receiver, (unicast) the VideoJet 1000 provides the option of connecting a number of receivers to simultaneously receive the video signal. This is achieved either by a duplication of the data stream in the unit with subsequent distribution to a number of receivers (multi-unicast) or by distribution of a single data stream on the network itself to a number of receivers in a defined group (multicast).

Select here the option

TCP

should be selected. If used in a local network select

in order to activate the multicast function.

UDP

Note

Requirement for multicast operation is a multicast compliant network with implementation of the UDP protocol and the IGMP protocol. Other group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support any multicast connection.

VideoJet 1000

Configuration with Web Browser

The VideoJet 1000 supports for MPEG-4 the multi-unicast operation up to a maximum of 5 simultaneously connected receivers. For MPEG-2 only one multi-unicast connection is possible.

The transparent data connection is maintained from the first unit. However, after 15 seconds of inactivity the data connection is automatically suspended and another unit can exchange transparent data with the transmitter.

For multilink operation, the network is not required to be multicast compatible as the VideoJet 1000 is also multi-unicast compatible. Duplication of the data in the unit requires considerable processor power and, under certain circumstances, leads to limitations in the picture quality.

With the settings

address: 0.0.0.0

Multicast streaming: On

the VideoJet 1000 operates in the multi-unicast

Multicast group IP

and

mode (duplication of the data stream in the unit).

With the settings

Multicast streaming: On

and a valid multicast group IP address, the unit operates in the multicast mode (duplication of the data stream over the network).

Multicast group IP address:

A precondition for the multicast mode in a multicast-compatible network is the establishment of a special IP address (class D address).

The network must support the establishment of a group IP address and the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). The address range is from 224.0.1.0 to 238.255.255.255.

Multicast port MPEG-2:

With simultaneous data streams in the MPEG-2 format and in the MPEG-4 format, the data streams must be assigned for different ports.

Enter here the port address for the MPEG-2 data stream.

Multicast video port MPEG-4:

With simultaneous data streams in the MPEG-2 format and in the MPEG-4 format, the data streams must be assigned for different ports.

Enter here the port address for the MPEG-4 video stream.

Configuration with Web Browser

Multicast audio port MPEG-4:

In MPEG-4 format, the streams for video and audio are transmitted over separate ports. If you want to transmit MPEG-4 with audio you must assign a dedicated audio port.

Enter here the port address for the MPEG-4 audio stream.

Note

For MPEG-4 audio transmission the option in the MPEG-4 Encoder settings must be activated (see page 51).

Multicast packet TTL:

By setting the parameter you determine the life span of the data packets in the network. If multicast is operated over a router the value must be greater than 1 to guarantee transmission of the packets.
