Hybrid recording system with up to64 camera inputs

Siemens hybrid technology unifies bothanalogue and digital technologies in asingle system, therefore allowing asmooth upgrade of existing systems. Withten available models, up to 32 standardanalogue cameras and 32 IP cameras canbe connected, with various hard disksizes, and DVD burning options.

Integration in other systems Via the integrated software interface,SISTORE MX can be controlled by IVM, theinteractive video management software,SiPass® access control system, andMM8000, the danger management sys-tem from Siemens, to name but a few.

PTZ control for both speed domecameras and pan/tilt devices

Both speed dome and pan/tilt/zoom cam-eras can be controlled via the on-screeninterface of SISTORE MX. Preset positionscan be set and recalled simply, togetherwith setting patrols, where the cameramoves from one preset position to anoth-er automatically and “patrols” the facility.

Support of third-party IP camerasincluding PTZ control

SISTORE MX can also be connected tothird-party IP cameras that have alreadybeen installed and, if these are functionalcameras, then SISTORE MX also supportsPTZ control over a network.

Flexible remote monitoringIn networked applications during analarm condition, SISTORE MX can providea direct link to the remote viewing soft-ware, to allow immediate access to theimages over the network, or send SMSand if required an e-mail. This includedRemoteView software can also perform a“site-tour” – automatically connectingand disconnecting to pre-defined remotesites allowing the operator to simply sitback and watch the tour on the monitor.

Basic matrix switchingIt is possible to have a total of 4 analoguemonitor outputs – these can be used toswitch any of the 32 analogue cameras,creating a basic 32 x 4 switcher. Monitorscan be programmed to act as alarm mon-itors and SISTORE MX will automaticallyswitch cameras upon alarm activation.

Reference imageBenefiting both installers and end usersis the facility to store a “reference image”of the installed camera – so should it bemoved, maliciously or otherwise, orsimply if it has to be serviced, there is anexact record of its viewing position.

Various different display optionsWith the connection of up to 64 cameraspossible, multiple screen display optionsare provided to the user to ensure theoptimum viewing conditions.

Motion detectionTo optimise hard disk storage, the pixel-based motion detection system allowsthe user to define areas of interest in ascene and only when motion occursinside this area, will the images berecorded.

Covert camera modeAny camera can be recorded, but notdisplayed depending upon the user level,so cameras monitoring cash registerscould only be monitored by Managers forexample.

Quick and easy searchingTo ensure the fastest method of findingimages, a mask can be defined in thearea of interest, filtering the playback toonly that area and ensuring no time iswasted watching hours of useless video.Also, there is the timeline search, show-ing all recorded images across the cam-eras, including showing movementdetection, alarm triggers etc. – just dragthe line to the time or date required –simple. Of course it is also possible tosearch according to standard criteria suchas date, time, camera and logbook.

Support of megapixel recordingSISTORE MX supports the recording ofmegapixel IP cameras. Megapixel record-ings contain more information, particu-larly useful when using the integrateddigital zoom feature.

Interoperable security systems from Siemens

Utilising SiPass access control softwarefrom Siemens, operators have a clearoverview of their buildings, includingopen doors or windows. If either theaccess control or intrusion detection sys-tem trigger an alarm, SISTORE MX auto-matically starts recording the relevantcamera located in the alarm zone area.The video images can be replayed asalarm verification directly in the SiPasssoftware. Activating and deactivating ofintrusion alarm zones is then also possiblevia SiPass software, as well as automati-cally restricting access control rights dur-ing an alarm situation.

Comprehensive featuresthat are simple to operate

Various different display options

Up to 32 analogue cameras can be con-nected to the system; these can be amixture of colour or mono, indoor oroutdoor cameras, pan/tilt/zoom cameras,fixed cameras or speed dome cameras.

Quick and easy searching using timeline or filter.Motion detection

The SISTORE MX has 32 alarm inputs, fromwhich recording can be started or speed adjust-ed. The 8 digital inputs are reserved for specificalarm inputs e. g. UPS power failure, start/stoprecording. The 16 alarm outputs are designed toconnect to alarm systems, turn on lights or trig-ger a loudspeaker pre-recording. It is also pos-sible to record a single audio channel linked to apre-defined camera. An alarm input could comealso from a Siemens intrusion detection system.

Up to 4 analogue monitors can be connected tothe SISTORE MX; as well as having the option todisplay covert or standard cameras, alarm im-ages are also automatically displayed andswitched between monitors, enabling flexibleviewing of a whole site.

SISTORE MX can be connected to a SiPass accesscontrol system to enable quick and easy searchesfor events triggered in the SISTORE MX system(e.g. alarm inputs, alarm outputs, recordings,motion detection, etc.) using the SiPass soft-ware.

Remote operation (RemoteView) Up to 16 RemoteView clients have access toSISTORE MX. Each RemoteView client can displaythe images of up to 8 SISTORE MX devices at thesame time. The “site-tour” feature is an automatic,sequential connection to multiple SISTORE MXdevices.

Additional features provided by SISTORE MX

Site plan featureIt is always difficult to remember all cam-era numbers and positions. The new siteplan feature of SISTORE MX provides afull visual overview of a facility. Siteplans or photos of facilities can be loadedeasily by adding the appropriate symbolfor the camera position to the site plan.In addition to this, it is possible to addadditional cards for individual rooms orfloors and link these so as to be able toeasily switch between rooms or floors.This is an important feature for operatingpersonnel when tracking suspiciouspersons on the premises.

Cash register connectionThe serial interface with which SISTOREMX is equipped can be used to connectvarious different cash register systems,therefore making the system suitable foruse in retail stores, shopping centres etc.Recording can be initiated for a corre-sponding camera based on specialword/line filters placed on the data sentfrom the cash register as well as definedalarm filters. The same filter words canthen be used as search criteria for subse-quent research.

Automatic backupSISTORE MX can automatically backupfull or partial video and audio recordingson an external drive. The time and daysof the week can be configured for back-up. The user can choose whether to carryout full or incremental backup. As op-posed to full backup, incremental backupis used to store all files that have beencreated since the last backup thereforerequiring considerably less time and stor-age capacity on the target drive.

The site plan feature helps operating personnel track suspicious persons.

Simply add and position cameras on the site plan via drag and drop.

Multiple server operationThe new multiple server operation featureenables simultaneous access to severalSISTORE MX devices from a remote oper-ating station and therefore allows formonitoring several locations at the sametime using RemoteView. Images from aspecific camera are displayed by simplyselecting the camera from the list. Up to768 (8 x 96) cameras can be listed andlive images from up to 36 (6 x 6) camerascan be displayed at once.

External storage expansionpossibilities (e.g. RAID 1 or RAID 5/6)

Should large video storage be required forlonger recordings, SISTORE MX has a SCSIoutput that can be used to extend the harddisk storage of the system to an externalRAID system which can be the SiemensSISTORE RAID or a third-party product.

SISTORE RAIDConnect up to two SISTORE™ recording de-vices simultaneously via the two SCSI portsavailable on SISTORE RAID. Utilising thehot-swappable drives, hard disks can beexchanged while the system is working,therefore ensuring continuous operationas a reboot is not necessary. An integratedLCD display ensures easy local configura-tion, while management software offersremote browser-based administration. Per-formance is of the highest level, utilisingIBM RISC architecture, ensuring data isboth stored and accessible on demand.
