The following are
features of
the CCTV
system we are pleased to offer:
Video Transmitters will be
employed, which will convert the analog video
signal to digital. All Video Transmitters
is assigned permanent unique IP addresses within
the LAN or WLAN. With video transmitters,
existing cameras (analog) can be easily
integrated into the new CCTV system.
Each transmitter supports one camera or one monitor.
This next generation MPEG-4 technology offers analog levels of quality at a choice of
resolutions for the most demanding applications
such as identification and high speed movement.
High
Resolution / High Frame Rate Video: The transmitters guarantee 25/30 frames per
second at any resolution or bit rate including SIF, 2SIF and 4SIF resolutions.
MPEG-4
Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) brings new levels of
fidelity and frequency response to CCTV
applications.
The
same CAT5 UTP cable is used for real-time video,
two-way audio, management of PTZ functions and
binary I/O alarm triggers.
Multicast technology allows limitless numbers of
users to access video and audio streams using
the same bandwidth as one user.
The
resulting IP-based video removes geographical
barriers thus enabling co-ordinated remote
monitoring and communication across multiple
locations using standard network interfaces
including LANs, WANs, wireless networks and
internet communication links.
Network security: transmitters
have built-in firewall which can be configured
to restrict communication to specific users.
Web
administration: all administrator settings can
be configured through a built-in,
password-protected web interface.
Activity Controlled Frame Rate
This
powerful feature is unique to IndigoVision's
MPEG-4 products. When enabled, the unit
constantly monitors the amount of motion between
frames. When there is no motion in the scene,
the frame rate is reduced to one frame per
second. When motion occurs, the frame rate is
increased to the maximum specified by the user.
This can reduce data rates by up to 50-fold,
which increases the amount of video which can be
stored on a Networked Video Recorder (NVR).
CONTROL CENTER SOFTWARE FOR VIEWING AND
RECORDING LIVE VIDEO
The
system of cameras will be controlled and managed
by the “Control Center” software also
supplied by Indigo Vision.
The
Control Center is a highly scaleable application
which allows local and remote control of any
CCTV system, from an entry-level system with a
small number of cameras, to a large installation
with several hundred cameras.
In
conjunction with IndigoVision's compression and
transmission technology and the Networked Video
Recorders (NVR), Control Center provides a
complete solution for your
digital CCTV requirement
Key
Features
-
Control Center enables local and simultaneous
remote monitoring, viewing and recording across
multiple sites, regardless of geographical
location.
-
Control Center works with other 3rd party analog-based
CCTV components, e.g., cameras, monitors,
keyboards and PTZ units.
-
Control Center can be used to quickly analyze
thousands of recordings using motion, time and
camera search criteria, saving valuable incident
search time.
-
Recordings can be played without interrupting
current recording.
-
Control Center supports motion-detects binary
and video loss alarms. It can also trigger
relays when an alarm occurs.
-
Recordings from up to 16 cameras can be played
back simultaneously.
-
Site
databases can be created automatically for
pre-configured systems.
-
Control Center can be used to configure a device
remotely, saving on man-hours.
-
Up to
50 live video streams can be viewed from one PC,
in two windows using dual head monitors.
-
Live
and recorded video can be viewed at the same
time.
-
Control Center's sites facility and associated
site maps can be used to group related cameras
to enable fast and efficient navigation.
-
Control Center allows low level access control
per user to every camera.
-
Once
recorded, video cannot be altered, ensuring the
audit trail is intact for evidential purposes.
-
The
IndigoVision architecture means that cameras,
recorders and viewing platforms can be placed in
completely separate locations, allowing
recordings to be stored in a secure room, or
even offsite.
-
Several users (depending on privilege levels)
can simultaneously view, manage and record
across the network from any point on that
network.
Live
Video
Control Center allows all users to display live
camera output in up to 25 video panes, all at
full frame rate (25x30 fps = 750fps) and on a
full screen. If using a dual head monitor, users
can view up to 50 video panes.
Salvos, Guard Tours and Sequences
Guard
tours allow users to display salvos (group of
cameras) sequentially in PC panes or analog
monitors. Each salvo can appear on screen for a
specified length of time. Users can also view a
sequence of cameras in succession in a PC window
or on an analog monitor. There is no limit to
the number of camera sequences that can be
defined. Maps can also be used to ease site
navigation.
Video
Lockout
Video
lockout allows an authorized user to prevent all
other users from viewing live or recorded video
from one or more cameras while an incident is
taking place. This means that all video being
viewed is stopped immediately, and can only be
viewed by the authorized user.
When a
“lockout” occurs, the system suspends scheduled
recording and immediately starts recording to a
designated "lockout" NVR. Users who can no
longer view video are informed that a “lockout”
has taken place.
Recording and Playback
Control Center manages recordings from hundreds
of cameras recorded on one or more
Networked Video Recorder(s). The NVRs can
be a
Windows NVR or Stand-alone NVR..
Playback of recorded video
Windows Networked Video Recorder
IndigoVision’s Windows Networked Video Recorder
(NVR) is a Windows service that runs on a PC and
records and manages live video recordings. To
configure and manage the NVR and its recordings,
you can use the Control Center or a customized
Control Center developed using the NVR Client
SDK along with the Position Detection System (PDS).
Recorded Video
Control Center allows users to display recorded
video from up to 16 cameras at the same time. It
also provides a set of powerful tools for
reviewing recording footage and for quickly
identifying vital evidence:
The
jog/speed shuttle includes frame-based single
step forwards and backwards, and 8x speed at 240
fps. Motion search allows users to search
through a period of recorded footage and measure
motion as a percentage. Minor movement, such as
that caused by animals or trees can be ignored.
Typical search performance: 8 hours searched in
less than 5 minutes.
Recording Schedule
The recording schedule is
used to specify when particular cameras should
be recorded. Recording can occur all the time,
or start at set times. It can also start when an
alarm occurs, including one triggered by motion.
Multiple Camera Playbacks
Users can view recorded
video from up to 16 cameras simultaneously on
one PC. Playback can be simultaneous, and start
from the same time for all cameras, or each
camera can start playing back from a different
time.
PTZ Control
Control Center enables
users to control Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras
when viewing live video. In addition,
administrators can configure custom controls and
presets for each PTZ camera. They can also set a
user priority for PTZ cameras, and specify that
certain users can hold a connection to a PTZ
camera, preventing other users from controlling
it.
PTZ cameras can be
controlled using an external joystick, or
directly on the video pane using a mouse. The
camera can be easily panned and tilted in
different directions and at different speeds by
simply moving the mouse, and zoomed by clicking.
Thumbnails
Thumbnails display still
images taken from recorded video within the
current range of the timeline. Thumbnails for 8
hours of footage are displayed in 2 seconds.
Thumbnails make searching
through large amounts of footage easy and
efficient. Time-based thumbnails allow users to
identify an event where the exact time is not
known, for example, the theft of a car from a
parking lot. Motion-based thumbnails are
excellent for identifying events where there are
many sources of, or varying amounts of motion.
Maps
Control Center allows
users to display a map of a zone/site to help
locate cameras. If using a dual monitor setup,
users can drag and drop maps onto the second
monitor. This means that the full map can be
viewed on one screen, and the video panes on the
other.
Watermarking
A watermark is added when
exporting video sequences for evidential
purposes. Control Center takes a digital
signature of the sequence and watermarks this
onto the video. This provides an extremely high
level of security.
Administration
Site/Zone Setup
Control Center allows
administrators to manage network devices, sites/zones,
recordings and the recording schedule. In
Control Center, a site can include cameras from
many different geographical locations and
networks.
Device Discovery
On startup, Control
Center automatically detects all IndigoVision
devices that are on the same local network as
the PC. If required, administrators can also
specify scan addresses to discover devices on
other networks.
User Accounts and User
Access
The Administrator user
account provides access to all functions within
Control Center. The administrator can set up any
number of Operator user accounts, and can
specify which sites and cameras each user can
access, and which functions they can perform,
for example, view only, or control PTZ cameras.
Sites/Zones
Sites/Zones are set up by
administrators, and define which IndigoVision
devices are available for operators to view.
Administrators can group cameras into sub-zones
(sites)
to ease navigation of a large site.
Maps
Maps provide a pictorial
representation of site/zones(s). Administrators can
create any number of maps for a zone/site, then
position cameras and alarm sources on the map.
Motion Detection
Control Center can be
used to configure the motion detection facility
available in IndigoVision units. A "region of
interest" can be specified, which ignores
particular areas if required.
System Diagnostics
Control Center's
diagnostic tools allow you to monitor the state
of all devices in your site. This means that you
can ensure that each device is functioning as
expected.
