VEXT Pulse Out

The Video External Pulse connection (VEXT) simplifies multiplexer operation by automatically synchronizing the

Multiplexer and the DSR.

The DSR sends a VEXT pulse to the Multiplexer indicating that it is ready to record the next image. The Multiplexer responds by sending the next image to the Video Input on the DSR.

The VEXT connection is especially beneficial for units configured with dual record speeds (Normal and Alarm).

Use of the VEXT connection is Highly Recommended when connecting the unit to a multiplexer.

6.2 DSR WaveLink

A new feature with DSR software version 2.07 is the DSR WaveLink. This feature allows putting command codes in the URL when calling WaveBrowser to control actions the WaveBrowser is going to perform.

This feature can be used by Web Developers to link various cameras to specific Web content.

6.2.1 Functionality

The traditional WaveBrowser URL is http://<IP_Address>/wrcontrollite.ssi. This URL will start the

WaveBrowser in the disconnected state. DSR software version 2.07 supports command codes placed after an underscore after wrcontrollite and before .ssi. In the following example, the options are in bold.

Example: http://3.18.172.230/wrcontrollite_c=1s=2a=3t=1361959858.ssi.

The following table specifies the supported options:

Name Code Description Example

Camera c=<n>

Size

Action

Time s=<n> a=<n> t=<n>

Describes either the camera number for fullscreen (1=Camera 1, …16=Camera 16) or the type of the multiscreen display (100 =

Multiscreen 16 large, 101= Multiscreen 16 small, 102= Quad screen)

For fullscreen camera, describes the size of the display (1=large, 2 =medium, 3= small)

Describes the action the WaveBrowser has to take:

0 No action

1 Normal Connection Play

2 Normal Connection Live

3 Normal Connection Goto

4 Live Connection

When action is set to 3 (Goto), the time specifies where to go in number of seconds since 01/01/1960. c=10 s=2 a=2 t=1361959858

NOTE

Please Note: When an option is not specified, it will be set to 0.

When a normal connection is requested, but the unit is already connected via a normal connection, the WaveBrowser should open a live connection instead.

The default page, http://<IP_Address>, does not accept option codes and will open the WaveBrowser in disconnected state.

The example URL from above http://<IP_Address>/wrcontrollite_c=1s=2a=3t=1361959858.ssi) requests the WaveBrowser to make a normal connection, play back at 2/27/2003 10:53:32 displaying camera 1 in medium size.

For warranty information, see the following page.


10.2 Warranty and Return Information

GE Interlogix warrants all of its equipment for three years from the date of purchase. This warranty covers any defects in materials and workmanship. Equipment failures that are due to improper installation, modification, abuse, or acts of nature will not be covered by this warranty. The repair department will evaluate all equipment returned for repair to determine warranty coverage. The Tech Support Manager will resolve any questions that may arise during evaluation to make a final determination.

Note: The three-year warranty does not apply to the following products:

MobileView

® and the monitor CRT, which carry a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase.

The warranty specifically covers any defects in material and workmanship and does not cover equipment that has been abused, damaged, or modified.

For all warranty repairs, GE Interlogix will cover all costs, including parts, labor, and shipping. Repaired equipment will be returned via the same method of shipment in which it was received. If a customer requests a faster return shipment, the difference will be charged.

For all non-warranty repairs, the customer will be billed for parts, labor, and shipping. Labor will be billed in half-hour increments.

Note: Customers requesting an estimate prior to repair will be notified by phone. If they cannot be reached, they will be notified by fax. If we are unable to reach the contact person for repair authorization after one phone attempt and two fax attempts, the equipment will be returned without being repaired. We will hold equipment no longer than two weeks.

Advance Replacement Policy

When an advance replacement is required, we will send the customer replacement equipment from our stock and receive the returned product in exchange. The received equipment will be evaluated and the repair department will determine whether it is a warranty replacement. If it is non-warranty, see our repair policy above for details. The following guidelines will be used for all advance replacements:

•

Fewer than 45 days from purchase, GE Interlogix will replace the product with new equipment.

•

From 45 days to 1 year from purchase, GE Interlogix will replace the product with refurbished equipment.

•

From 1 year to 3 years from purchase, the product must be sent in for repair. Advance replacements will be sent for a fee of $100.
