Chapter1. Introduction

1.1 iVMS-5200 Overall Description

iVMS-5200 Intelligent Video Management System features flexibility, scalability

high reliability and powerful functions. By making full use of the existing equipment

and data, the system provides perfect resource management, security

management, data update and maintenance. It is capable of integrating with

multiple surveillance systems distributed in different places to realize central

management and coordination of the monitoring resources. It could manage a CCTV

system with thousands of cameras in a hierarchical way.

1.2 iVMS-5200 Client Description

iVMS-5200 Client is used for daily monitoring operation. It support video live

viewing, PTZ control, voice talk, video search, playback and download, alarm

handling, E-map viewing, etc. It must be connected with CMS to get its

authorized-device list and other permissions.

1.3 iVMS-5200 Video Wall Glossary

Video Wall Client (also called VMC, Video Matrix Client) is used to control Video Walls.

There are some other words that you may encounter on the software. The table

below explains them in details:

NAME DESCRIPTION

Video Wall A video wall is a set of Screens or Monitors that are connected

together.

Screen/Monitor A screen/monitor is a physical display device, which is connected

with one decoding output channel at a time.

Window A window is a logical area where one camera is displayed. A

window can be equal to a screen/monitor, a part of a

screen/monitor, or a combination of several screens/monitors.

Decoding

Device

A decoding device is used to decode digital streams into actual

videos. Embedded decoders, and decoding card are all decoding

devices.

Decoding

output

A decoding output is a display interface of a decoding device. The

interface could be HDMI, DVI or BNC. A decoding output is

connected with a screen/monitor.


Division A decoding output can display multiple cameras. We call this kind

of function division. For example, when we display four cameras

on a monitor, we call it 4-division.

Jointing We can link several screens/monitors together, and show one

camera on all the screens/monitors. We call this kind of action

jointing. This function depends on decoding resource hardware.

Jointed

Window

Those screens/monitors that are connected to show one camera

generates a jointed window.

Windowing The action that opens a new window on a screen/monitor is called

windowing. This function depends on decoding resource

hardware.

Floating

Window

Floating window is the output of windowing. A floating window

can be moved within a jointed window.

Layout The positions of all the screens/monitors, and the positions of all

the windows, including normal windows, jointed windows and

roaming windows, are called a layout of the video wall.

Scene Layout plus camera information is called a scene. Calling a scene

will set the layout and playing pre-defined cameras on video wall.

Auto-Switch

Schedule

An auto-switch schedule is defined to play multiple cameras on

one screen/monitor or multiple screens/monitors in cycle.

Single Scene

Auto-Switch

It is an auto-switch schedule mode on which the layout is not

change.

Multi-Scene

Auto-Switch

It is an auto-switch schedule mode on which the layout is

changing along with cameras.

Some of the words are referred to physical devices or concepts, such as Video Wall,

Screen/Monitor, Window, and Decoding Device. Generally speaking, these devices

or concepts have corresponding virtual concepts on the software interface. So,

when we use such a word, we may refer to one of them. For example, when we say

Video Wall, we may refer to a physical video wall, which consists of physical

screens/monitors, and we may refer to a picture or icon on Video Wall client, which

is for you to operate on.


Chapter2. Environment Requirement

Hardware+Software Requirement

The general requirement for the hardware is as below, which can satisfy most

requirements.

For Web Manager

and Client

CPU: Intel Xeon E5502 or above

Memory: 4G DDR3

NIC: 1000M NIC

OS: Windows XP SP3/ Windows 7

Web Browser: IE 7 / IE 8

To view more cameras or more HD cameras simultaneously, more powerful CPU,

display card, memory are required. The table below shows how many cameras(with

different resolutions and bitrates) can be decoded and displayed on different

hardware. The figures are results of lab testing and could only be used as a

reference.

Chapter5. Playback

5.1 Playback Interface

Three playback modes are provided by the client software and can be selected by

clicking

Normal playback: searching the recording files by camera, time and storage

device.

Segment playback: searching the recording files by camera, time and storage

device, and playing back some different segments of files at the same time in order

to find the needed recording information more quickly.

Event Playback: searching the recording files by camera alarm or IO alarm.

Note:

Only the cameras with at least one recording solution configured are listed on the

resource tree in Playback module.

Note:

Only the current active recording solutions will be listed. For example, you used

Storage Server to keep recording for 5 days, and then, you changed to device local

storage and canceled Storage Server recording. So now, you wont be able to find

the recording files on Storage Server, though the record files are there actually. So,

in this case, we suggest you to switch to an empty recording template if you want to

turn off a recording solution.

5.2 Normal Playback

To use normal playback:

Step1: Select the division mode in which you want to playback by using

and 1/4/9/16 divisions are supported. Then select a window

for playback.

Step2: Select a recording solution (Device Storage and Storage Server), and on the

resource tree below, you can select a camera.

Please note that if there is only one recording solution for the camera, you can

double click this camera to playback its recording files of current date quickly in the

selected window. If there are multiple recording solutions, you can show all the

solutions by expanding the camera icon. Double click a recording solution to search


recording files and start playing.

Step3: Select the query time and recording type. Then click button

to search the matched recording files.

Step4: If recording file exists, it will be displayed in the time bar area. Click the

button on the tool bar of a certain window to start playback this camera, or click

button on central bar to start playback all selected cameras.

If you hover your mouse on one point of a time bar, the snapshot of the video at that

time will be displayed on top of the time bar.

Note:

If DST function is enabled, the time bar will look different when the time changes.

If the time jumps forward, the system will cut this period out of the time bar. For

example, if the time jumps forward for 1 hour at 1:00 to 2:00, the 1:00 on the time

bar is actually 2:00.

If the time jumps backward, the system will add this period on the time bar. For

example, if the time jumps backward for 1 hour at 2:00 to 1:00, the time bar will

show 1:00 twice.


But please note that DST function is effective for Storage Server recording only

at this moment.

5.3 Segment Playback

In this mode, user can play back some different segments of a certain file at the

same time in order to locate the needed recording segment more quickly.

To use segment playback:

Step1: Select the window for playback, the channel from the site tree and the

numbers of segments and query time.

Step2: Click the button to search the matched record files. If

there is a record file, it will be displayed in the time bar area. Different recording

segments will be display in different sections.


Step3: Click the button to start playback.
