Control inputs, error relay, sabotage protection<br />
Control inputs ■ Depending on control input function and on device configuration, events<br />
can be triggered by active switch normally open, active switch normally<br />
closed, edge control, or permanent contact.<br />
■ In principle, control inputs must be switched to ground. Use the ground<br />
terminals labelled ⊥ on the device, or the ground terminals of the<br />
terminal block labelled "common ground for all inputs of type control<br />
input" in the table above.<br />
■ Status changes at the control inputs - closing and opening of the contact -<br />
must have a duration of at least 500 ms to allow for positive detection by<br />
the device and distinction from "swish contacts".<br />
Error relay The device configuration allows designation of integrated relays as error<br />
relays in order to report certain operating states or malfunctions using dry<br />
contacts. The status of the error relay then always corresponds to the status<br />
of the Error LED on the front of <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr :<br />
■ Error if Error LED on, then error relay energised<br />
■ No error, if Error LED off, then error relay de-energised<br />
Examples for possible errors reported by error relay:<br />
■ Recording underrun (images are overwritten too early)<br />
■ Recording overrun (insufficient allocated storage)<br />
■ Storage warning threshold reached<br />
■ Hard disk error (not locked, removed, or faulty)<br />
■ Hardware error (e.g. faulty DSP, video decoder, or clock module)<br />
■ Video signal failure (faulty camera or video cable), low contrast image (e.g.<br />
caused by lens cover)<br />
■ Remote connection (triggered by alarm or routine call) cannot be<br />
established<br />
For a detailed list of error messages that can trigger the error relay, refer to<br />
chapter "Log file". Viewing the Log File automatically causes reset of the<br />
error message; the error relay is de-ernergised and Error LED goes out. Refer<br />
to the manual of the respective CamControl software for more information<br />
on log file configuration and evaluation.<br />
Sabotage protection The error relay is pulled in idle - no error. Therefore the error relay can be used<br />
as sabotage detector, as it automatically falls off in the event of power failure<br />
(e.g. caused by cut power lines). Depending on the error relay wiring, an<br />
interruption of the relay line itself can be reported as well.<br />
There is a theoretical possibility that sabotage protection will not work if<br />
error relay switching is not consistent with the operating mode.<br />

<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr<br />
Why<br />
removable<br />
hard disks?<br />
Hard disk<br />
information<br />
3 System description<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr is equipped with a special frame for holding removable hard<br />
disks. Hard disk advantages at a glance:<br />
■ Flexible matching of application to storage capacity<br />
■ Availability of original image data if copies are not admissible for legal<br />
reasons<br />
■ Enhancing storage capacity by using several removable hard disks in turn.<br />
This allows recording times of any duration<br />
■ In addition to online evaluation, <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr removable hard disks can be<br />
evaluated offline, i.e. not by using <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr , but a separate evaluation<br />
PC<br />
■ Faster access to storage image data with separate evaluation PC<br />
Every hard disk is extensively tested for performance and functionality before<br />
release. Special attention is given to the factors low power consumption and<br />
low heat development. These contribute to prolonged product life. To ensure<br />
that all <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr hard disks meet these criteria, every hard disk is coded,<br />
formatted, mounted in a <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr specific removable frame, and<br />
subsequently tested again. Local evaluation of <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr frame storage<br />
devices from 200 GB upwards requires a suitable PC with PC Kit <strong>CamDisc</strong> or<br />
a suitable PC Kit <strong>CamDisc</strong> USB.<br />
Video data integrity To prevent manipulation of digital image data, video data cannot be changed<br />
by PC applications to be played back into the frame storage device. This<br />
ensures <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr containing only video data originally recorded by<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr .<br />
Hard disk<br />
commissioning<br />
Only use original HeiTel hard disks specially configured for operation with<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr .Conventional hard disks are not supported by the <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr<br />
series. All hard disks are set to operating mode "Master only“. Any changes<br />
to this jumper setting make the hard disk unusable for <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr .<br />
To avoid transport damage, <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr and removable hard disks are<br />
delivered separately. Refer to additional information on commissioning on<br />
the label attached to the housing cover of the removable hard disk (see<br />
illustration below). The left field contains information on storage capacity.<br />
Please enter type and serial number of your <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr in the right field. This<br />
information is displayed on a sticker in the <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr removable hard disk<br />
slot, or on the serial number label on the bottom side of your <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr .<br />
This information is important for:<br />
■ Unique serial number allocation for service<br />
■ Comparing serial numbers in applications with several <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr units<br />
and several removable hard disk can prevent inadvertent switching of hard<br />
disks and subsequent inadvertent deletion of recorded data.<br />
27
3 System description<br />
Which data<br />
will be<br />
stored on the<br />
removable hard<br />
disk?<br />
Factory settings /<br />
configuration profile<br />
Hard disk size and model/serial number can be displayed in menu "Site<br />
archive" under "HDD" of CamControl LITE or CamControl PRO software.<br />
When using removable hard disks previously used in <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr units<br />
belonging to a different generation, any recordings will be deleted<br />
automatically, the hard disk will be reformatted, and the configuration<br />
stored in <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr will be implemented. In exceptional cases loss of data<br />
may occur within the same generation, however only in cases of extensive<br />
firmware change.<br />
In addition to video data, additional information and settings are stored on<br />
the removable hard disk. This is to enable convenient evaluation with other<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr units, or in offline mode with evaluation PCs. Moreover, to<br />
enable trouble-free operation of several removable hard disks with the same<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr unit, and to ensure protection from access by unauthorised<br />
persons. This information includes:<br />
■ Copy of camera and camera group names<br />
■ Serial number of the recording device<br />
■ All criteria relevant to the video recording (refer to "Factory settings"<br />
under "Site archive" (see “Site archive” on page 62)) for a complete list of<br />
criteria.<br />
■ Log file (refer to chapter "Log file" for a complete list of possible log file<br />
entries) (see “Log File” on page 43)<br />
CamControl software allows storage of the most important settings in the<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr flash memory. Saved settings can be written conveniently to<br />
additional or new hard disks later.<br />
When commissioning a new removable hard disk in combination with a new<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr unit, the factory settings stored in the <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr unit will be<br />
used for automatic configuration of the removable hard disk. After<br />
configuration with CamControl LITE or CamControl PRO software you can<br />
save your personal device configuration in the form of a profile in a<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr flash memory and use this profile again, e.g. when changing<br />
hard disks, or for fast parameterisation of other removable hard disks.<br />
Reset the device as described in chapter "Device reset" if you want to reset<br />
the device to factory settings (see “Device reset” on page 30) .<br />

In addition to backing up the configuration settings in <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr 's flash<br />
memory, you can also back them up to the receiver PC using the CamControl<br />
software and then re-load them to your <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr if necessary. You will<br />
find the options for saving and loading device settings under<br />
Recorder settings/Upload / Download.<br />
Furthermore, you can transfer backed-up device settings to other <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr<br />
devices. These other devices must have the same number of camera inputs<br />
and the same firmware version.<br />
Offline evaluation To evaluate <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr recordings offline, i.e. independent from a<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr unit, the evaluation PC requires preparation for receiving the<br />
removable hard disk. Either use the external PC Kit <strong>CamDisc</strong> USB for direct<br />
connection by USB interface to the evaluation PC (desktop, notebook), or<br />
installation of a PC Kit <strong>CamDisc</strong> on the evaluation PC (desktop). The<br />
advantages of option USB over option IDE are:<br />
■ fast and convenient commissioning<br />
■ automatic detection of the removable <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr hard disk connected to<br />
the USB interface (depending on the operating system)<br />
■ evaluation and removable hard disk change without PC/Laptop restart<br />
Please use CamControl PLAYER software for offline evaluation. Refer to the<br />
online manual of the same name for more information<br />
Keyswitch In addition to mechanically securing the hard disk, locking also switches on<br />
the removable hard disk power supply. This safety measure prevents the hard<br />
disk from being removed during operation, causing damage to it. In spite of<br />
this safety feature, it is still required to switch off the PC (without USB<br />
adapter) by the main power supply switch.<br />
Operation without<br />
removable hard disk<br />
After restart, check the green HDD control light on the removable hard<br />
drive slot to verify that the hard drive is supplied with power. Please also<br />
observe the information in chapter "General security information" (see<br />
“General safety information” on page 12).<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr can be operated without removable hard disk if the<br />
corresponding feature "Operation without hard disk" has been activated<br />
with CamControl LITE or CamControl PRO software. In this operating<br />
mode <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr offers all features, except video recording. Essentially these<br />
are the following features:<br />
■ Digital transmission of live images by IP and/or dialup connection<br />
■ Remote configuration and maintenance by IP and/or dialup connection<br />
■ Alarm management - control inputs, motion detection - for automatic<br />
dialup<br />
■ System and video signal monitoring<br />
■ Camera and relay control<br />
■ Analog video output with switch function<br />
■ Audio transmission<br />

3.9 Device reset<br />
The steps<br />
one by one<br />
Pin assignment of<br />
RS-232 interface<br />
All hard disk functions, such as cyclical reset, alarm on hard disk error,<br />
activation of LED Error or the error relay, and clock error display will be<br />
deactivated. This operating mode is available only if the device does not<br />
detect any hard disk (and therefore no removable hard disk in the removable<br />
frame).<br />
If <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr detects a functional hard disk after start up with option Use<br />
without hard disk drive activated, the option will be ignored and the<br />
removable hard disk will be used. If the hard disk fails during operation, all<br />
hard disk related errors will be read out until the next reset.<br />
The following method allows you to revert to <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr factory settings.<br />
This reset is a full device reset, reactivating factory settings. All settings,<br />
including passwords and user names, will be deleted. If you want to delete<br />
only passwords, use the Reset pushbutton described in chapter "Control,<br />
indicators, and ports". (see “Controls, indicators, and ports” on page 15)<br />
All recordings and the log file of a removable hard disk in the frame during<br />
reset will be deleted. The removable hard disk will be reformatted. To keep<br />
recordings and storage settings, remove the hard disk before Device reset<br />
of your <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr .<br />
■ Switch the <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr off.<br />
■ You need a 9 pin Sub-D plug with pin 2 connected to pin 3, and pin 7<br />
connected to pin 8.<br />
■ Plug this reset plug into the interface labelled "Transp. data/Control<br />
interface" (see “Pin assignment and functionality” on page 20).<br />
■ Switch the <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr unit on and wait until LED Power on the front starts<br />
flashing.<br />
■ Remove the reset plug.<br />
■ Your <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr unit will be ready again as soon as device reset and reinitialisation<br />
have been completed.<br />

<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr<br />
4 Commissioning<br />
This chapter describes the basic procedure for successfully commissioning<br />
your <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr and provides tips for configuration and design strategies.<br />
The online manual for CamControl LITE and CamControl PRO software<br />
provides further information on configuration software and the menus<br />
relevant to configuring your application. For clearness, the following<br />
information refers to CamControl LITE software. CamControl PRO<br />
software provides identical features and can be used for commissioning as<br />
well without any limitation.<br />
1. Install <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr as described in chapter "System description",<br />
section "Mounting and setting up" and switch the device on (see<br />
“Mounting and setting up” on page 12).<br />
2. Connect all input and output lines to your <strong>CamDisc</strong>svr unit now, if<br />
possible. All required plugs are included in the scope of delivery. Refer<br />
to chapter "Pin assignment and functionality" (see “Pin assignment<br />
and functionality” on page 20). For the installation of a camera system<br />
with PTZ control, additional information is required. Please refer to the<br />
installation instructions of the camera manufacturer and the respective<br />
supplementary documents by HeiTel. Also observe the information<br />
provided in chapter "PTZ control" (see “PTZ control” on page 49).<br />
3. Install the CamControl LITE software for operation, alarm verification,<br />
and configuration from the installation CD. Please observe the<br />
installation information in the online manual of the same name. This<br />
manual is included in the installation CD.<br />
4. Connect the <strong>CamDisc</strong>svr to the PC with the CamControl LITE<br />
software. Use either the null modem or the network cable. Both cables<br />
are included in the delivery of your <strong>CamDisc</strong>svr .<br />
5. Start the CamControl LITE software and use option Connect to<br />
connect to your <strong>CamDisc</strong>svr unit, observing the following:<br />
■ If you use a null modem cable: Open CamControl LITE software in<br />
offline mode. Go to menu item Settings, menu item Port A, menu<br />
item Mode. Activate option Null modem.<br />
■ If you use a network cable: Open CamControl LITE software in<br />
offline mode. Go to menu item Settings, menu item Port A, menu<br />
item Mode. Activate option TCP/IP. In addition, include your<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr unit as new transmitter in the transmitter list, including<br />
the <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr TCP/IP address. The factory settings are: IP address<br />
=192.168.31.95; subnet mask =255.255.255.0; Activate the<br />
transmitter list with option Dial.<br />
6. Refer to the CamControl LITE software online manual for all further<br />
steps concerning commissioning and configuration.<br />

4 Commissioning<br />
4.2 General configuration information<br />
■ Configure your system with all cameras connected and all final camera<br />
perspectives set, for best results. This enables precise calculation of images<br />
sizes detected in <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr configuration mode.<br />
■ If possible, use conditional refresh mode (differential image compression).<br />
This method is more efficient than the option single image compression.<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr only records conditional refresh images if the interval between<br />
two consecutive images is not greater than 10 seconds. For larger intervals,<br />
significant image changes are assumed and therefore full image recording<br />
is activated. The advantages of conditional refresh mode are:<br />
■ The available storage capacity is used more efficiently. This<br />
increases the period available for recording images.<br />
■ Recording speed is increased.<br />
■ Online evaluation is faster. This is of advantage when using<br />
narrow bandwidth communication paths such as GSM,<br />
MODEM, or ISDN.<br />
■ It is recommended to Record preview images if narrow bandwidth<br />
communication paths such as GSM, MODEM, or ISDN are to be used for<br />
evaluation.<br />
■ Camera noise, e.g. caused by poor lighting, can cause excessively large<br />
images, even in conditional refresh mode - factory setting - as camera<br />
noise is interpreted as image change.<br />
■ Image quality can be set separately for each camera input, and for image<br />
transmission and image recording. Additional options for resolution and<br />
multi image display mode are available for image transmission. Full format<br />
live transmission allows adjusting resolution by the viewer during<br />
transmission.<br />
■ If you want to control several cameras by integrated motion detection,<br />
consider using external motion detectors. The integrated motion detection<br />
is not designed for outdoor detections and should therefore be reserved<br />
for indoor cameras. This helps avoid false alarms.<br />
■ Integrated motion detection allows you to set different levels of sensitivity<br />
for controlling recording and alarm forwarding to a CamControl station.<br />
■ When defining pre-alarm and post-alarm sequence: New messages<br />
generated during an event (e.g. caused by alarm or motion detection) will<br />
be ignored at first and will only be processed after post-alarm time or after<br />
adjustable retrigger time is up.<br />
■ The number of events will be reduced by the frame storage device if<br />
storage space allocated to any camera for any single event is less than<br />
1MB.<br />
■ The device gives highest priority to image recording triggered by input<br />
state change, i.e. when Edge + or Edge – recording is active. If the device<br />
detects a status change at any recording input, it will interrupt recording<br />
triggered by any different status, by status change, or by integrated<br />
motion detection in any event.<br />
■ For the device to positively detect control input states and status changes,<br />
circuit time must be at least 0.5 seconds.<br />
■ <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr supports three operating modes. These are a compromise<br />
32 <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr

between performance and functionality, at the same time leaving the<br />
option to suppress certain functions, under certain circumstances.<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr factory setting is Duplex mode. Operating mode overview:<br />
■ Simplex = Live image transmission, or recording, or archive<br />
evaluation<br />
■ Duplex = Live image transmission and recording, or archive<br />
evaluation<br />
■ Triplex = Live image transmission and recording and archive<br />

■ For applications using several removable hard disks (for increasing storage<br />
capacity or recording time) it is strongly advised to use uniformly<br />
configured hard disks, to use these always in the same <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr , and to<br />
provide them with unique labels. Also refer to chapter (see “Removable<br />
hard disk” on page 27) „Removable hard disk“.<br />
■ <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr is equipped with an integrated clock module with calendar<br />
feature. Maximum deviation at an ambient operating temperature of<br />
40 °C is ±2.5 minutes per month. It is recommended to synchronise the<br />
clock with PC time at regular intervals and to activate automatic<br />
adjustment to summer/winter time.<br />
■ During live transmission <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr displays date and time in the upper<br />
right corner of the picture. To distinguish different images stored at the<br />
same time from each other, a consecutive image number is displayed after<br />
date and time data, separated by a period or a space.<br />
■ Video output operation has no impact on performance or on other<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr features. Use this output to switch the connected camera with<br />
the V out pushbutton or the V out control output as part of a<br />
sequence, during alarm, or manually.<br />
■ On principle, always assign a Device name and assign unique Camera<br />
names. This facilitates distinction, especially in large projects, not only for<br />
live transmission but also for online and offline evaluation. In addition, you<br />
can define camera groups and pool several cameras into logical groups.<br />
■ Depending on equipment your <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr supports connections to<br />
several CamControl LITE stations. Simultaneous support is for up to 6 IP<br />
connections, or 5IP and 1 dialup connection, or 4IP and 2 dialup<br />
connections. The number of active CamControl LITE stations connected<br />
to the same <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr at the same time is displayed by the<br />
CamControl LITE software below the video window. Simultaneous<br />
connection to several CamControl LITE stations affects <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr<br />
performance.<br />
■ You can enter up to four Telephone numbers / IP addresses that will be<br />
processed in the event of an alarm, according to configurable criteria. Field<br />
one has top priority. <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr always dials these numbers consecutively<br />
until one of the receivers is contacted. The number of repeats determines<br />
the maximum number of times the list will be processed. In addition, the<br />
system can be configured to always dial all numbers. The same telephone<br />
numbers will be used for routine calls and for technical alarms. Alarm LED<br />
will remain active until the telephone number list has been processed<br />
according to the set repeats.<br />
■ Select option Alarm call in case of defective Hard Disk if you want to<br />
send a hard disk error message to a CamControl LITE station. The<br />
connection will be established approximately 45 seconds after the error<br />
33
4 Commissioning<br />
occurs. If the user confirms the alarm with Report again, another call will<br />
be made 6 minutes later. If the user clicks Do not report again, the<br />
transmitter will call to report the hard disk error the next time the error is<br />
detected again with device restart.<br />
■ Select option Routine call every 24 hours, if you want to report<br />
operability of your <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr at regular intervals to a CamControl LITE<br />
station. No images will be transmitted during this connection. The calls will<br />
be logged in the log files of the transmitter and of the receiver.<br />
■ <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr checks all connected video signal inputs for video signal failure<br />
(faulty camera, faulty video line, low contrast image, e.g. by covered lens).<br />
Failure is reported for active cameras if the video signal has been disturbed<br />
for about 10 seconds. The check interval follows the respective recording<br />
interval. In the event of a faulty video signal, recheck takes place after<br />
3 seconds. Recording is resumed after error elimination. For non recording<br />
video cameras failure will be reported after 60 seconds.<br />
If you require additional features, please refer to the additional<br />
configuration options in files CAMTEL.INI or CAMCTRL.INI. Refer to the<br />
respective information in the CamControl LITE or CamControl PRO<br />
software online manuals.<br />

5.1 Storage concept<br />
This chapter provides basic information on recording modes and the methods<br />
of their control. Refer to descriptions of the setup dialogs in the<br />
CamControl LITE and CamControl PRO software online manuals.<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr allows digital recording of up to 4 or 10 camera signals. The<br />
multi-track recording process developed by HeiTel allows hard disk storage<br />
capacity to be adjusted individually for each camera.<br />
Advantages of the multi-track recording process<br />
Camera tracks<br />
■ Hard disk storage capacity is optimised.<br />
■ The recording period is specified for each individual camera track.<br />
■ The logical division of the hard disk prevents mutual overwriting of<br />
archived image data.<br />
■ For event-triggered recording pre-alarm and post-alarm sequences can be<br />
recorded for individual events.<br />
■ An optional warning by relay is issued when the adjustable storage<br />
warning threshold is reached.<br />
■ Each camera track can be configured with overwrite protection on<br />
overrun, or for automatic overwriting.<br />
The <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr hard disk is divided into 4 or 10 camera tracks. This allows<br />
you to specify the storage space for each individual camera track. Storage<br />
capacity is displayed in GB.<br />

The illustration shows identical partitioning (factory setting) for each of the<br />
10 camera tracks of a <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr 10 hard disk. The required storage capacity<br />
is based on average picture size, recording mode, recording speed, and<br />
recording duration. Set the partition size using the thumb. No images are<br />
recorded on a camera track when the storage capacity is set to 0%.<br />
The archive is reformatted when the track storage capacity is changed. All<br />
images recorded up to this point will be irretrievably deleted.<br />
FIFO <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr uses FIFO (First In First Out) for recording. The oldest images or<br />
events will be overwritten with new recordings after a certain period of time.<br />
Hard disk partitioning into camera tracks prevents recorded images from<br />
being overwritten by data from other cameras.<br />
When accessing the image archiving device remotely over a low bandwidth<br />
connection, low-resolution preview pictures (256 x 128 pixels) can be stored<br />
in the archive. These preview pictures can be used to view the recorded<br />
pictures more quickly during remote access. When preview pictures are saved<br />
during recording, recording speed is slowed down by about 20%. Recording<br />
duration is reduced by approximately 10%, as additional storage space is<br />
required for preview images.<br />
Activating overwrite protection ensures that existing recordings are never<br />
deleted automatically. Individual camera tracks must be released before<br />
overwrite. An individual storage warning threshold can be defined for each<br />
track. Reaching the threshold warning limit (to be set in percentiles) triggers<br />
the <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr error LED to illuminate and a log file entry to be written. The<br />
threshold warning limit can be reported by relay as well, depending on device<br />
configuration. For remote evaluation with CamControl LITE or CamControl<br />
PRO software a message is displayed that only dedicated image export or<br />
switching removable hard disks will ensure permanent image storage.<br />
This option allows the device to issue a warning (error LED, error relay, online<br />
evaluation, log file) if the specified recording duration for an individual track<br />
cannot be maintained any longer. <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr uses the previous recordings<br />
as a basis for calculation, extrapolating from an assumed regular data<br />
volume. Based on the quantity of data saved on the hard disk and the<br />
previously recorded time period, an estimate is made of how long (in days)<br />
the available storage space would last. If this period is less than the set value,<br />
the error relay can be activated, for example.<br />
If special requirements for the period of image storage must be complied<br />
with, for example for reasons of data privacy, a maximum age can be<br />
specified for archive images per camera track. Any older images will then be<br />
deleted automatically.<br />

Flexible storage<br />
space allocation<br />
5 Description of "Site archive" features<br />
In addition to specifying individual track size, the recording mode must be<br />
specified individually for each camera as well. The basic <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr<br />
distinction is between permanent (long-term) recording and event triggered<br />
recording. Both modes can be set for the same camera. Switching between<br />
modes is controlled by an integrated timer module. The following illustration<br />
shows timer control for camera 1.<br />
The illustration above shows flexible storage capacity allocation for<br />
permanent recording and event triggered recording. On the basis of set<br />
recording parameters, CamControl LITE or CamControl PRO software<br />
calculate the required storage capacity. The calculated values are estimates,<br />
actual values may deviate due to changes in actual image data volume,<br />
proportion of motion, and selected resolution being considered.<br />
Capacity Tool Values based on practical experience can be determined with storage<br />
capacity calculation tool Capacity Tool, developed by HeiTel.<br />

Continuous recording is recording for a predefined period of time with<br />

This method can be combined with external sensors or integrated motion<br />
detection to optimise storage capacity. In this case <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr only records<br />
in the event of the respective control input being activated or in the event of<br />
motion detection detecting motion.<br />
The 4/10 control inputs at the 28/34 pin terminal block are permanently<br />
assigned to a particular camera. Four input states can be used and configured<br />
for control.<br />

The opened and closed states are used to control permanent recording. The<br />
logical state Open corresponds to an unswitched control input, and Closed<br />
to a grounded contact. Different recording speeds can be defined for both<br />
states.<br />

Continuous<br />
recording and edge<br />
trigger<br />
Continuous<br />
recording and<br />
motion detection<br />
Permanent recording can be influenced by defining a certain edge. A<br />
normally closed contact produces a positive edge upon opening (from low to<br />
high, Edge +) while a normally open contact produces a negative edge (from<br />
high to low, Edge –) upon closing. The recording interval and the number of<br />
frames to be recorded can be defined for each edge. To calculate recording<br />
time, multiply interval by number of frames.<br />
Illustration: Continuous recording with edge sensitive control input<br />
Integrated motion detection with adjustable sensitivity and definable<br />
detection areas can be used for recording according to the same principles<br />
ruling continuous recording with external detectors. It is important to<br />
consider the state of the respective control input Open or Closed. In<br />
addition, the recording interval and the number of frames to be recorded can<br />
be defined for each detected motion. To calculate recording time, multiply<br />
interval by number of frames.<br />

40 <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr
Event triggered recording<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr<br />
5 Description of "Site archive" features<br />
50,000 events can be stored for each camera. Each event consists of an alarm<br />
image and the pre- and post-alarm sequences.<br />
Illustration: Event triggered recording with pre-alarm, alarm image and postalarm<br />
For event triggered recording, recording is controlled by the corresponding<br />
control input and/or integrated motion detection. Event triggered recording<br />
creates a separate entry in the image database for each event, as opposed to<br />
continuous recording. Later evaluation uses camera selective display. For<br />
event triggered recording, recording speed and recording duration can be<br />
specified separately for pre- and post-alarm sequences.<br />
Event triggered recording has two advantages over continuous recording:<br />
■ Event triggered recording with defined pre- and post-alarm sequences<br />
allows for a more precise evaluation of images based on event selection.<br />
The alarm image and events before and after the alarm can be analysed<br />
directly.<br />
■ Event triggered recording, as a rule, only records relevant data. Evaluation<br />
is therefore to the point and much faster.<br />

of camera remote control systems as part of standard equipment. The user<br />
remote controls all important functions of up to four or up to ten cameras<br />
using customised menus and buttons. Remote control is executed via dialup<br />
or network connections between <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr and a CamControl LITE or<br />
CamControl PRO station. Other video devices such as matrices or switches<br />
are supported as well. This chapter only deals with the main application,<br />
camera remote control.<br />
Concept Manufacturers of remote camera control systems use different data protocols<br />
for devices control. This results in one of the most important functions<br />
integrated PTZ control. Remote control commands coming from the<br />
CamControl LITE or CamControl PRO station must be translated to remote<br />
control commands compatible with the respective camera system (e.g. Dome)<br />
PTZ protocols One of the considerations in developing PTZ control is to ensure that new<br />
protocols can be added and that any protocol changes can be installed easily<br />
without any accessory equipment or know-how. For this purpose all drivers<br />
available at the time of delivery are provided along with your <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr . All<br />
it takes is installation with CamControl LITE or CamControl PRO software.<br />
Refer to the end of this chapter for an overview of all protocols currently<br />
available.<br />
Scope of functions After loading the device-specific driver, the following list of PTZ functions will<br />
be available, depending on your camera system. Please note that not all<br />
functions are supported by all camera systems. Refer to the appendix for a<br />
device-specific function overview. If your camera system is not listed, please<br />
contact your technical support centre.<br />

Camera remote control interface<br />
As physical camera interfaces may differ from camera system to camera<br />
system, <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr is equipped with an RS-232 as well as an RS-485<br />
interface. This avoids additional costs and reduces installation and wiring<br />
requirements.<br />
The following diagram shows the system described above:<br />

Illustration: Camera remote control with <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr<br />
Interface RS-232 Camera system data lines (e.g. Dome) are connected with terminals TxD, RxD<br />
and GND (see “28 / 34 pin terminal block” on page 20). Please note that only<br />
one camera can be connected when using interface RS-232, for technical<br />
reasons.<br />
Interface RS-485 Camera system data lines (e.g. Dome) are connected with terminals D-, and<br />
D+. (see “28 / 34 pin terminal block” on page 20). Up to four remotecontrollable<br />
cameras can be operated at the RS-485 interface with the same<br />
data protocol with <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr 4 and up to ten with <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr 10.<br />

6 PTZ control<br />
After configuration, the standard features of camera remote control will be<br />
available to you. You can only take advantage of the full range of features of<br />
PTZ control if you adapt them to your specific application requirements.<br />
Configuration settings will be filed in a control file with file extension R01.<br />
Sample files can be found on the installation CD. These will be automatically<br />
copied to a subdirectory of CamControl LITE or CamControl PRO software<br />
during installation.<br />
Subdirectory „…\RM\RM01“ holds the sample control files that are<br />
automatically copied to your computer during installation of CamControl<br />
LITE or CamControl PRO software. These files contain sample<br />
configurations for you to adapt to your application. The relevant control files<br />
will be copied to the main directory of CamControl LITE or<br />
CamControl PRO software during initial startup.<br />
Select one of these control files at initial startup or at configuration using the<br />
menu. A transmitter-specific file name will be created on the basis of the<br />
serial number of the image transmitter and the file extension reserved for<br />
control files R01. This file will be copied from subdirectory ("…\RM\RM01")<br />
to the main directory of the receiver software.<br />
Example The file name "CV714000.R01" will be created from serial number<br />
"CV714000", and the control file will be copied from "C:\CCLITE\RM\RM01"<br />
to directory "C:\CCLITE". Note: Directory names were selected on the basis<br />
of CamControl LITE.<br />
Protocol<br />
implementations<br />
With CamControl LITE/PRO version 3.52 and higher, the created R01<br />
files are copied to the program subdirectory \RMCTRL. If you are upgrading<br />
from an older software version, you may have to create the \RMCTRL<br />
subdirectory. Then copy your R01 files from the program directory to this<br />
subdirectory.<br />
Subdirectory with binary files for protocol interfaces<br />
All available protocol implementations for remote camera control can be<br />
found in subdirectory "…\RM\BIN". These are binary files to be transferred to<br />
a <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr . These files are product specific and cannot be changed.<br />
You will find a full description of the R01 files and instructions on how to<br />
customise it in line with your requirements in the online manual for the PTZ<br />
Remote Adapter in the section "Control File (R01) Structure" or in the<br />
online manuals for CamControl LITE and CamControl PRO in the section<br />
"Function and structure of R01 files" on the enclosed installation CD<br />

<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr<br />
7 Web Server<br />
With firmware version 1.30 or higher, <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr devices have an integrated<br />
Web Server for transmitting live images and, if necessary, controlling PTZ<br />
functions. If you select this option (Recorder settings/Connections/<br />
Network (TCP/IP)/Web Server) one of these six standard connections is<br />
dropped in favour of up to four additional connections to PC, PDA or<br />
Smartphone browsers.<br />
General When a user is working with the Web Server, then for security reasons a<br />
session is started and the Web browser saves a cookie on the relevant user's<br />
computer. Within one session a user has up to ten minutes to carry out an<br />
action (e.g., switch camera or quality / change live image viewing mode).<br />
Every action carried out within this period of time resets the session time so<br />
that the overall 10-minute period is renewed for each action. When this<br />
period of time expires, the session ends. The user is logged off and the logon<br />
page opens.<br />
If transmitter configuration is changed using CamControl LITE or<br />
CamControl PRO the Web Server is reset. If there are any active Web<br />
browser connections at the time, then the following happens:<br />
Establishing a<br />
connection<br />
■ No user defined in the transmitter: Reset to live image of Camera 1 in<br />
Mainscreen viewing mode<br />
■ At least one user defined in the transmitter: Reset to logon page<br />
To establish a connection to the server, enter the symbolic name (e.g. http:/<br />
/webserver1.heitel.com) or the IP address (e.g. http://62.214.6.12) of the<br />
device in the address bar of the Web browser.<br />
Login The login page only opens if at least one<br />
user has been defined in the transmitter.<br />
If there is no user entry, the Mainscreen<br />
viewing mode opens directly.<br />
Otherwise, you will be asked to enter<br />
your Username and Password in order<br />
to access the device.<br />
When entering your username, make<br />
sure to differentiate between lower- and<br />
uppercase letters because it is case sensitive.<br />
Enter the relevant password and click Login.<br />

7 Web Server<br />
Mainscreen<br />
Control elements There are several control elements available. To the left of the current camera<br />
image you will see the View and PTZ areas and the Logout button.<br />
Underneath the live image are the two drop-down menus Camera and<br />
Quality.<br />
View The Mainscreen, Quadscreen, Ten and Handheld buttons<br />
allow you to choose between different viewing modes. In<br />
Quadscreen and Ten viewing mode you can switch an image<br />
to Mainscreen mode by clicking the image in question.<br />
■ Mainscreen: A live image is shown.<br />
■ Quadscreen: Up to four live images are shown at the same time in two<br />
columns and two rows.<br />
■ Ten (<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr 10 only): Up to ten live images are shown at the same<br />
time in three columns and four rows.<br />
■ Handheld (for Smartphones and PDAs): This display<br />
mode dynamically attempts to optimize the size of<br />
the camera image in line with the size of the display<br />
screen. However, this mechanism must be supported<br />
by the handheld browser in use.<br />
In addition to the drop-down menus for selecting<br />
camera and image quality, this mode also has a dropdown<br />
menu for selecting fixed positions (Preset 1 to<br />
Preset 9) – if a PTZ protocol is activated. Fixed<br />
positions can only be controlled if a PTZ camera is<br />
selected and fixed positions are defined.<br />
Log out by clicking this button. .<br />

Display-optimised<br />
view for handhelds<br />
<strong>CamDisc</strong> svr<br />
7 Web Server<br />
If the handheld browser in use supports a display-optimised view, the entire<br />
Web interface is automatically adjusted if necessary. The result shown<br />
corresponds to the handheld view as far as possible.<br />
In Web server tests on various handheld solutions, good results were<br />
obtained for example on devices that use a combination of the browser<br />
Opera (8.5 Beta 2) and operating system Windows Mobile 5.0.<br />
PTZ These PTZ controls are only available in Mainscreen viewing<br />
mode if a PTZ protocol has been activated in the transmitter<br />
settings and the current user is authorised accordingly. If the<br />
selected camera has the corresponding PTZ functions, you can<br />
control them by clicking the relevant buttons:<br />
■ Arrow buttons: Clicking the arrow buttons allows you to<br />
control pan/tilt functions.<br />
■ Magnifying glass + and Magnifying glass –: These<br />
buttons allow you to control the camera's zoom functions.<br />
■ F+ and F–: These buttons allow you to control the camera's<br />
focus functions.<br />
■ Presets: The Presets drop-down menu allows you to control the first nine<br />
defined fixed positions. Choose from Preset 1 to Preset 9 by selecting the<br />
appropriate option.<br />
Camera The Camera drop-down menu allows you to select the<br />
desired camera. The number of cameras available<br />
depends on the device type:<br />
■ <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr 4: four cameras<br />
■ <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr 10: ten cameras<br />
Quality You can choose between three levels of image quality using the<br />
Quality drop-down menu. ++ corresponds to the highest image<br />
quality. This mode also involves the largest amount of data transfer per<br />
image. The default setting is +.<br />
The Camera and Quality drop-down menus are only available in<br />
Mainscreen, Quadscreen and Handheld viewing modes.<br />
Logout The Logout button is only available if at least one user has been defined in<br />
the transmitter. Clicking the Logout button logs the current user off the<br />
transmitter. The Login screen then opens.<br />

list should not appear if the null modem cable<br />
is correctly connected as long as neither CAPI<br />
nor TCP/IP are activated.<br />
3. Test the COM port with another terminal and<br />
program (e.g. mouse or modem and terminal<br />
software).<br />
1. Receiver settings port A: Set the mode to<br />
normal and enter the device Baud rate: If you<br />
do not know your device Baud rate try the<br />
settings available, starting with 115,200 Baud.<br />
Check your <strong>CamDisc</strong> svr :<br />
2. Test the COM port with another terminal<br />
device and program (e.g. mouse or modem<br />
and HyperTerminal).<br />
3. Switch the transmitter off. Connect all cables<br />
properly. Switch the transmitter back on<br />
again.<br />
4. Lock the removable hard disk.<br />
1. Switch the device off. Remove the hard disk.<br />
Inspect or clean the contact strip of the<br />
removable hard drive frame.<br />

Scandisk (with surface test, without error<br />
correction).<br />
3. Format the hard disk in the device and wait<br />
for a few minutes after entering the<br />
command.<br />
Problems with remote data transmission by telephone and computer<br />
networks can be caused on the transmitter side and on the receiver side. The<br />
CamControl LITE and CamControl PRO software manuals provide detailed<br />
troubleshooting advice for locating errors. Error elimination is described there<br />
as well.<br />
