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 />

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 />

evaluation<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 />

Recording modes<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 />

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 />

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 />
