Software description

4.1 SISTORE MX NVS

SISTORE MX NVS consists of a scalable client-server architecture. The SISTORE

MX NVS servers and the SISTORE RemoteView clients are distributed in the network and enable the design and configuration of small to large video monitoring systems.

SISTORE MX NVS (server)

Each server supports the administration, recording and playback of up to 64 LAN cameras. For larger systems, multi-server configurations are supported. It is possible to connect LAN cameras from Siemens as well as from third parties to the server. See Section 7.1 General information on LAN cameras.

SISTORE RemoteView (client)

SISTORE RemoteView is a client application which can be installed independent of the other software components. In this version SISTORE RemoteView, SISTORE

Player and the Software Codec are installed. Using SISTORE RemoteView, configuration, operation, live image display and evaluation can be performed over the network.

12




Purpose

In display mode, the live images of the connected cameras are displayed and all events that occur, such as camera failure, alarm inputs and malfunctions, are logged.

Fig. 1

SISTORE MX NVS software in display mode



13

03.2009


Purpose of playback mode

The recordings can be evaluated in playback mode. The database enables a flexible, precise search for particular events and the related camera images.

Access to this mode is regulated based on administrative permission levels and can be additionally controlled using the 4-eyes principle. Camera recording and live image display continue to run in playback mode.

The SISTORE RemoteView software provides you with the option of convenient remote access evaluation of existing video sequences. SISTORE MX NVS functions as the server with SISTORE RemoteView as the client. This makes evaluation from any location possible if the SISTORE MX NVS system and the PC intended for evaluation are networked. Finally a connection via LAN, DSL or ISDN to the SISTORE MX NVS system is then required.

NOTE:

The time zones of the SISTORE RemoteView and the SISTORE MX NVS server must be set the same, otherwise display errors will occur (such as incorrect time display).

NOTE:

You must have administrative rights to install and run the SISTORE RemoteView software on the PC.

The SISTORE MX NVS server can be operated not only with SISTORE

RemoteView but also using a browser.

Use the following browsers for this: z

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x or later

SISTORE MX NVS WebView allows the use of all viewing functions of the video system over the network on a client PC.

SISTORE MX NVS WebView provides the following functions:

z

Retrieval and playback of video recordings z z

Display of live images

Bandwidth limitation of the video server z

Password protection, users and passwords are set up on each SISTORE MX z

NVS server via the user administration.

Live image display, up to 16 live images in parallel, with random access to cameras connected to various SISTORE MX NVS servers (multi-server access) z for logged in users with the user right "Display".

Playback of saved images, only 1-channel playback. z

Search by date and time z

Playback control: forward, reverse, single image step

As a web solution, SISTORE MX NVS WebView and the MX Video Server are installed on a dedicated server and can be loaded and operated by any number of

Windows clients. The prerequisite is that the client be connected to the web server via TCP-IP with Microsoft Internet Explorer and the Java Runtime Environment installed in the versions required.

SISTORE MX NVS WebView can be run in German or English.

From the operating stations, any camera – regardless of the associated station – can be selected. The images are output on the monitors of the client PCs.

NOTE:

As of version 2.60, the SISTORE WebView software is an independent product and has to be ordered separately.

6.6 Controlling network access

6.6.1 Adding a connection filter

NOTE:

Please note when setting up filters for multiple subscriber numbers (MSNs) that these are communicated differently depending on the telephone system. The formulation of a filter must match the transmission method of your telephone system.

You can refuse certain telephone numbers and IP addresses network access to the SISTORE MX NVS software. To do this set up an appropriate connection filter in the Reject incoming calls list field. Wildcards (*) can be used to group IP addresses or telephone numbers.

In order to make an exception for a telephone number or IP address in a group of banned telephone numbers or IP addresses, add a connection filter for it to Allow incoming calls.



39

03.2009


Example: In the list field Reject incoming calls set up the connection filter 127.* and in the list field Allow incoming calls set up the connection filter 127.0.0.99.

NOTE:

IP addresses or telephone numbers for which a connection is refused receive

no information

or no error message.

Result:

Î

None of the IP addresses beginning with 127. are allowed to access the

SISTORE MX NVS software except the IP address 127.0.0.99.

7.1 General information on LAN cameras

Be aware of the following when using LAN cameras:

z

Multiple users can access LAN cameras simultaneously. Simultaneous access by multiple users lowers the frame rate. z

Settings made by a user on a LAN camera, such as modifying the image parameters via a browser, have system-wide effects.

Depending on the functional scope of the LAN camera, many operating elements of the

LAN cameras

tab may be disabled.

Altogether a maximum of 64 LAN cameras can be connected.

Access to LAN cameras takes place with greater

latency

. The reason for this is the greater communication load between the SISTORE MX NVS and a LAN camera.

Besides the LAN cameras, the network also has an effect on the latency.

The operation of the system can be slow if all connections for LAN cameras (64) are used.

Exact specifications for the image quality and the required hard drive capacity are not possible with LAN cameras, since each LAN camera has different quality levels and interprets specifications differently.

11.2 Configuring USB alarm inputs

NOTE:

The trigger edge applies to all alarm inputs. It cannot be set differently for multiple alarm inputs.

With the trigger edge you can determine whether z an alarm input normally carries voltage and the voltage is interrupted during an alarm ( ) z or an alarm input carries voltage only in the case of an alarm and otherwise not

( ).

The

level sensitive

checkbox allows you to determine whether a recording ends directly after an edge or continues until the next edge.

Example:

The SISTORE MX NVS should start recording when a door is opened and stop when the door closes. The door opener (alarm input) generates a short signal

(level change / edge) upon opening and closing of the door. If the

level sensitive

checkbox is not marked, the SISTORE MX NVS records only short sequences when the door is opened and when it is closed. If the checkbox is marked, the

SISTORE MX NVS records a longer sequence from when the door opens until it is closed.

11.3.3 Configuring network commands

Some LAN cameras can send user-definable commands via the protocols SMTP or HTTP/TCP. The SISTORE MX NVS server reacts to the text in the text fields

(see Fig. 73). If this text is consistent with the command received, an alarm signal will be triggered.

The SISTORE MX NVS application software receives messages via IP port 80

(HTTP messages and TCP data) and IP port 25 (SMTP, i.e. e-mail server). The IP ports 80 and 25 are set by default. z

Basically, TCP is the fastest way to send messages, HTTP messages are slightly slower. E-mail messages sent via SMTP are slower but not as slow as regular e-mail messages. z

The IP port of the LAN camera and the IP port of the SISTORE MX NVS application software must be identical. See Section 5.8.1 Matching IP ports. z

With some cameras, it is not possible to change the IP port.

The IP ports configured apply to all alarm inputs. z

The following commands in the

Network

group field are configured by default:

Command that activates an input (level to High)

The following commands are defined by default: TRIGGER01ON for the first input,

TRIGGER02ON for the second input, etc. up to TRIGGER32ON.

Command that deactivates an input (level to High)

The following commands are defined by default: TRIGGER01OFF for the first input,

TRIGGER02OFF for the second input, etc. up to TRIGGER32OFF.

Command that switches an input in pulsed mode (Low -> High -> Low)

The level is set to "High" for 1 second and then to "Low" again.

The following commands are defined by default: TRIGGER01PULSE for the first input,

TRIGGER02PULSE for the second input, etc. up to TRIGGER32PULSE.

5.

If you want to define other commands, please note the following:

–

It is recommended to always include the ID of the LAN alarm input in the

– command in order that the command can be allocated to the alarm input.

The command configured in the software of the LAN camera must be consistent with the command defined here.

–

–

Enter the commands in capital letters and without spaces.

Information on how to configure TCP/HTTP and SMTP commands can be found in the manuals for the respective LAN cameras.

16.5 Configuring the overwriting of recordings

Deactivating overwrite mode

With the checkbox

Deactivate overwrite mode – stop recording

you can configure the SISTORE MX NVS software to stop saving recordings as soon as the hard drive capacity is exhausted. This means that no recordings will be deleted on the hard drive to make room for further recordings.

WARNING

If the hard drive capacity is exhausted, the message that

recording has stopped because no storage space is available

will appear on the screen and an entry will be made in the logbook. Furthermore, the

Error

LED will be lit.

To switch off the indication manually, you must first make space available on the hard drive by deleting old recordings (see the user guide).

Configuring data storage

17.1 General information about the storage location

The SISTORE MX NVS application software supports recording on separate hard drives and hard drive partitions.

DANGER

z z z

Ensure that there is sufficient storage space on the target drive.

Do not use external USB hard drives, since this can lead to data loss.

Do not use CD/DVD writers as "substitute" hard drives, since these are not supported by the SISTORE MX NVS software.

Drives enabled for recording

After activating the bank and automated teller operation (cash box mode), the drive

D:\

is reserved for recording cash box image files and is no longer available.

Use of network drives

All network drives for which the user has rights will be shown in the list of drives.

As soon as a network drive is selected, the local drives serve only as replacement drives for if the network drive fails. If the network drive becomes available again after it has been unavailable, recording will take place again on the network drive after the next file change.

Network drives must generally be mapped, i.e. access to a network drive can only occur via a drive letter and not via a shared name. Ensure that the network drive is sufficiently fast and has enough bandwidth.

17.4 Selecting a storage location for backup

In the

Backup

group field, you can specify the drives on which the backup will be saved. The SISTORE MX NVS software creates a new directory with each backup in which a copy of the database is saved. The directory will be named after the starting point of the backup:

YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS

YYYY year

MM month

DD day

HH hour

MM minute

SS second

A dedicated subdirectory will be created for each camera.

Note

If you are backing up recordings that are write-protected (see Section 16.4: Configuring recording modes), the write protection will be removed automatically after the backup is finished. These recordings can now be deleted or overwritten.

CAUTION

Ensure that there is sufficient storage space on the target drive. See Section

" General information about the storage location", page 130.

In order not to affect the system performance too much the priority of the backup process is lower than the priority of other processes. With a higher priority, it would not be possible to record and play back at the same time. The backup process takes a long time due to its low priority. An incremental backup should be complete within 24 hours.

18.4 Configuring the FTP server

You can configure a connection to the FTP server on the

FTP

tab. In case of an alarm, the alarm message will be stored as an MSG file and an alarm image as a

JPEG in the root directory on the FTP server. This procedure is based on a special

German standard (EBÜS from Accelance). The root directory is in the

Users

directory. Usually a dedicated root directory is created for each user of the FTP server.

The alarm image and text file will be named after the starting point of the alarm:

YYYYMMDDHHMMSSxxx.jpg

YYYY year

MM month

DD day

HH hour

MM minute

SS second xxx milliseconds

In case of an alarm, a subdirectory will be created which is named after the camera for which the alarm occurred.

CAUTION

Ensure that there is sufficient storage space on the target drive.

19.2 Configuring the number of recordings

In the

Cash box parameters

group field you can specify how many test, suspicion and holdup recordings are saved continuously. For suspicion and holdup recordings, the SISTORE MX NVS software creates an internal write protection that cannot be removed by the user.

Suspicion and holdup recordings will be triggered if an alarm input with suspicion or holdup priority is assigned to a particular camera and reports an alarm to this camera. Triggering suspicion and holdup recordings is recorded in the log book so that it is possible to search selectively for these recordings at a later date.

Trial recordings are triggered manually by the user. Further information on this can be found in the SISTORE MX NVS User Manual.

Note

For suspicion and holdup recordings, the SISTORE MX NVS application software creates an internal write protection that cannot be removed by the user. As soon as the set number of suspicion and holdup recordings is reached, the system enables the oldest recording of the particular type to be deleted. Afterward this recording is treated like an ordinary room recording and can be automatically overwritten by the system if necessary.

Note

The IBM, IBM_PBM, SNI_PBM, DIEBOLD, KEBA_GAA and ASCOM cash dispenser types work according to the PBM (Personal Banking Machine) protocol from IBM. The settings options of these cash dispenser types can differ a little from the settings options of the PBM type.

Picture per step/Telegram

Indicate here how many images per step/telegram are to be recorded.

Picture recording

The image recording for the images 1, 2 and 3 (or for the image group if multiple images are recorded from one camera or various cameras for a telegram) will be initiated based on the step ID, i.e. the step ID determines whether and when an image or an image group is recorded. The setting for which steps are used is made here with three configurable steps: z

First picture from step:

for the first image recording z

Second picture from step:

for the second image recording z

Third picture from step:

for the third image recording

If no step is specified for the third image or for the image group, image 3 will be recorded at a delay time (VZ_BILD_BILD) from image 2 which can be set in the configuration.

Note

In order for the cash dispenser link to ensure secure operation, at least two fields (step 3 and 10 or

11) in the cash dispenser must be enabled!

The enabling takes place directly on the cash dispenser via the “CI”. This involves the configuration file “Custom.dat”.

Time

The following settings can be made in the Time group field: z

Time synchronization:

If multiple cash dispensers are connected to a SISTORE MX NVS system this specification can define which ones synchronize the SISTORE MX NVS system.

We recommend enabling time synchronization only for one interface (one cash dispenser); if the cash dispensers have different times, this is urgently necessary. z

Timeout:

After a set timeout period an active transaction is automatically ended. This is necessary in order to close transactions properly for which the last specified step is missing, for example with an account balance query. The specification of the timeout is in seconds.

TIMEOUT=300

If a transaction is ended by a timeout, an archive entry with status=2 is made. z

Timestep:

The TIMESTEP parameter can determine which telegram is used for the synchronization. This is to achieve optimal agreement of the time between the

SISTORE MX NVS archive and the cash dispenser journal.



Delay of picture recording

The following fields can be used to define the delay times in seconds between the arrival of the telegram and the actual recording of the image: z

Portrait z

Cash z

Room z

Picture to picture

155

To determine the positions from the telegram, the log mechanism in the file

in the [DEBUGINFO] section is to be activated.

Then the telegrams can be represented via the log file DTC_GAA.log.

EC / Credit card distinction

The telegrams of EC cards and credit cards differ, depending on cash dispensers or computing centres, by particular

characteristic

characters (such as blank spaces), which are at a particular position in the telegram and also differ sometimes in the length of the telegram. These characteristic characters are identifiable by their ASCII code. z

Enter the position of the characteristic character, such as 39, in the field

"Telegram position".

Example

39 z

Position for differentiating between EC and credit card

Enter the ASCII code of the characteristic character in the field "Indication", such as the number "32" for a blank space. Example:

Example

37 Character for differentiation as ASCII code //e.g. Chr(32) = " "

In exceptional cases, the telegram generated by a credit card is longer. z

Enter the difference in telegram length of the two card types in the corresponding field, for example 7.

Example

7 // Difference in telegram length between EC and credit card, for example 7

With EC cards there is a blank space at position 39. Credit cards have no blank space at this position. A blank space has the ASCII code "32".

Testing the Watchdog

NOTE:

In order that the

Watchdog

function is available on a server PC, the PC system a must have an integrated Watchdog board.

We recommend integrating a Watchdog module type PWDOG1 from Quancom.

Further information can be found in the Installation Manual in chapter 6.2.

The Watchdog restarts the system in case of certain events, such as a server crash.

Function

If the PC system has an integrated Watchdog module from Quancom, this watchdog acts as a timer which closes a relay contact after a specified time. In normal operation, the timer of the SISTORE MX NVS server is continuously restarted so that it never runs out. If the system gets into a state in which it no longer reacts and can no longer reinitialize the watchdog, the timer runs out, the relay contact is closed and a restart is triggered via the reset line of the system.

25.15 Configuring SISTORE MX NVS via SISTORE RemoteView

SISTORE RemoteView can be used for remote configuration of a SISTORE MX server. This function corresponds to the function for importing a configuration, except that a configuration file is sent by remote data transfer to the server.

Transmission errors should be detected by a checksum contained by the configuration file. If the checksum is incorrect, the configuration will not be imported.

For changes to the configuration the same dialogs are used as in the SISTORE

MX NVS application software.

The functions of the dialogs and dialog elements are therefore the same.

The following limitations apply in this regard: z

It is not possible to display motion detection. z

Recording media (hard drive partitions) cannot be changed. z z

A database directory cannot be specified.

The language version cannot be changed. z

The option "Always in foreground" cannot be changed. z z

The option "On-screen keyboard" cannot be changed.

Network parameters cannot be changed.

Prerequisite: z

The SISTORE MX NVS application software is in display mode. See Section

4.1.1 Display mode.

Banking mode, cash dispenser mode and the recording media cannot be activated/deactivated via

SISTORE RemoteView.

You have two options to configure a SISTORE MX server: z

Option A: online, i.e. transmission of the configuration, changing of the configuration, loading of the configuration, starting of the configuration on the server.

– OR – z

Option B: offline, i.e. an existing configuration is edited without a connection to the server, then a connection is established and the configuration is sent to the server.

25.15.1 Online configuration (option A)

1.

Set up a connection to the server. See Section 25.9.4 Connecting to SISTORE

MX NVS.

2.

Select

Configuration …

in the

Administration

menu (see Figure below).

4.

Change the configuration.

5.

Click

Apply

.

6.

Answer

Yes


Fig. 196

SISTORE RemoteView – sending the server configuration

Î

The transmission will be performed.

Î

After receiving the configuration, the server will import and apply it.

Recording will be stopped for a few seconds. The connection to RemoteView will be terminated.

7.

Check whether the server is recording again and everything is running properly.

Î

The transfer of a new configuration is recorded as information in the server's logbook. The logbook will also indicate whether the server has accepted and applied the new configuration. z

If a configuration contains more cameras than are available on the recording system, only the first cameras of the configuration will be applied. All further cameras will be ignored. z

This also applies for objects that are in a configuration but are not physically present in the recording system. z

Settings which cannot be configured remotely, such as recording drives, network settings or deleting or adding LAN cameras, will not be applied by the server from the new configuration. For these parameters the existing settings will continue to be used. This is to avoid malfunctions.

A malfunctions may result in a server restart triggered by the Watchdog. The malfunction will possibly be corrected by the restart.

Restarting the server manually via SISTORE RemoteView

If the server can be reached by remote data transfer, it can be restarted via the

SISTORE RemoteView application software.

1.

Select

Restart system

from the

Action

menu.
