Overview
The Digital Video Management System 1600 (DVMS 1600) combines the following
functions into one integrated security solution:
•
Digital video recorder
•
Time-lapse VCR/event recorder
•
16-channel multiplexer
•
Video motion detector
•
Text inserter
•
Remote video transmission system
Features
The DVMS 1600 offers the following features:
•
Recording function of a traditional time-lapse VCR combines with video motion
detection to reduce the number of stored images and eliminate the need to
manage a videotape library.
•
Multiplexed video from up to16 video sources with multi-screen display is
replacing the role of a traditional multiplexer.
•
Text insertion of transaction information from an ATM or POS terminal is
combined with video data storage.
•
Remote connection through either a network or modem replaces a phone-line
transmission or network video system.
Recording
The video data from multiple cameras is digitized, compressed, and stored on the DVMS
1600 hard drive. You select the capture interval and compression ratio for storage. For
time-lapse operation, a picture captured once per second at 20:1 compression is a
reasonable solution for general surveillance.
Document 900.0083
1
Under specific events, the capture interval may be reduced, and compression ratio
reduced. For example, with a hard alarm, the capture rate can be increased up to 60 fps
with a compression ratio of 10:1. To reduce the storage of non-critical video, motion
activated recording may be activated.
Displays
The recorder has three integrated displays to provide you with information:
•
The monitor 1 output is the main video output of the system. It provides the ability
to view a single image or multiple video images on the screen at one time. You select
the desired view using the front panel buttons.
•
Monitor 2 output is the spot monitor that displays full screen sequenced tours
through the video sources.
•
The third display is a two-line alphanumeric LCD display that provides basic
operational information about the system.
Playback/Search
The playback function allows you to view the latest recording from the DVMS. This
operation allows fast access without going through a set of search dialogs. You can then
use the jog/shuttle to review and analyze the video information.
If a more selective playback is required, the search function allows you to specify a set of
search criteria, and finds the exact video sequence desired. You can then use the
jog/shuttle—as with the playback function—to review the video information.
Reports/Archiving
You can use the report generation and archiving function to specifically identify types of
events that you wish to review or archive on a periodic basis. After reports are created
based on specific queries, you can play, review, or autonomously transfer them to an
archive media for long-term storage.
Menu Setup
DVMS 1600 operation can be highly tailored to meet the specific requirements of a wide
range of surveillance applications. You select and activate the menus using the buttons on
the front panel of the unit. The display output acts as feedback. You can also use the
rocker style switch on the front panel to navigate through the interactive menus.

Rev 1.00 January 23, 2002
DVMS 1600 User Guide
Remote Access
The DVMS uses Remote Access Software (RAS) that allows you to perform any function
remotely that can be performed locally. This includes:
•
Configuring the system to meet new requirements without having to dispatch a
service team to update the clock
•
Monitoring your staff
•
Extracting video from the local unit for a fraud investigation being completed in
another location
The RAS desktop provides quick and easy access to control functions that are normally
part of your VCR and multiplexer. See Chapter 4, Operation—RAS.

Monitoring Video Using RAS
To monitor video from selected cameras:
1.
Click the LIVE button and any (or all) of the camera buttons on the main screen
(see Figure 4-1). A Video Monitor window opens with the video from the selected
camera(s).
2.
In the View Select area, select how you want the images from the selected camera(s)
displayed. Options are:
Quad, 3x3, or 4x4
The speed at which the video can be refreshed—the number of images per second —is
limited by the speed of your connection type (Ethernet, dial-up modem, or null modem)
and the speed of your PC.
The DVMS 1600 sends out one complete image at a time, at the top speed possible for
your type of connection. If the DVMS 1600 is in Record mode, the image quality is
determined by the settings in the Timelapse Recording Menu (see Timelapse Recording
Menu on page 14. If the DVMS 1600 is not in Record mode, you can select image quality
in the RAS User Preferences dialog box (see Figure 4-2). Options are:
•
High (10:1)
•
Medium (20:1)
•
Low (30:1)
•
Very low (50:1)
The higher the quality, the slower the transmission of images. You can also select the size
of the image display—small or large.
The size of a single, high quality (10:1 compression), full frame color video image is
approximately 35 KB for NTSC. DVMS 1600 image files include some additional
information which makes the file size slightly larger than the size of the image itself.
Using an Ethernet connection, you can typically display one to 12 fields per seconds. Using
a dial-up modem, you can typically display one field per second or less.
When your PC receives the compressed image file, it decompresses the file and displays
it on your Video Monitor window.

Quality vs. speed
Live Monitor
Image Quality
Controls the amount of compression that is applied to the video
image files before they leave the DVMS 1600 to be transmitted to
the PC. At the highest quality setting the video images are less
compressed. This creates bigger files that take longer to transmit
and lower the speed at which the video image can be refreshed.
At the highest speed settings the video images are more
compressed. Some details may be blurred, but the refresh speed
is faster.
When you play back video clip files, they are sent using the
compression that was set when they were recorded.

Solutions
The following table describes typical technical issues that you may encounter from time
to time and tells you how to solve them.
If this happens
Do this
System functioning
erratically
The DVMS 1600 is a highly progammable digital recorder. Rather than trying to
diagnose problems that may be driven by programming errors, you may find it
helpful to go back to a known state. To revert to a known state:
Cycle power, then go into the menus and restore all the default parameters, and
format the storage system. This should get the system back to a functional state
prior to further system programming.
Function not operating
All the main functions can be enabled/disabled in their menu structure.
Example:
Hard alarms are connected to the unit, but when activated the unit does not react
to the external alarm. Go into the menus and enable the specific alarm that is
connected, then re-test.
Network/modem card
not recognized
For the system to check for a PCMCIA card, you must enable the Remote Access
feature. Go into the menu and enable Remote Access.
Video picture poor or
video levels incorrect
Check the length of the video cable run. Adjust the video at the source to
compensate for video run length.
If looping is performed, the video level may be too low. Disable video termination.
If video is too hot, ensure that video termination is on for non-looped application.
Video loss reported on
cameras not connected
The system can automatically detect cameras that are present and signal remaining
cameras as not connected. This eliminates the need to manually disable cameras
that are not present. Go into the menu, select the video option, and then select
the video detect option.
Unit not recording
Check the various calendars to ensure recording is enabled during the current time
period. Also, check that the triggers for motion or text events are properly set up.
Record light is on, LCD
says record, but there are
no clips on the hard drive.
Should you require the assistance of our trained technical support staff, you can expedite
call processing by providing our support staff with the current hardware and software
versions of the system. This information is available in the system information screen.
