The specified product shall be manufactured by a firm whose quality system is in compliance with the I.S./ISO 9001/EN 29001, QUALITY SYSTEM. 2.02 ENCODER GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION A. The encoder specified is designed for use in CCTV applications and shall be a network video server for eight (8) independent video channels that encodes MPEG-2, DVD quality, real-time video and control data for transmission over an IP network such as a 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet LAN and the Internet. The device is capable of simultaneously encoding 30 images per second of fully interlaced, non-multiplexed, video on all eight channels. The encoder is available with 120, 240, and 600GB internal storage drive capacities to allow local recording of MPEG-2 video streams for local, long term digital video storage. In addition, the video encoder shall be able to send images to a network video recorder for long term archiving. An external alarm contact closure or an alarm generated via its internal video motion detector may trigger the device to record and/or transmit video. A bi-directional serial interface is available to remotely control pan/tilt/zoom equipped cameras. 2.03 ENCODER PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS A. The encoder specified shall: 1) Function without the use of a PC as a stand alone encoder. Via a network and an MPEG-2 hardware decoder (recommended by the manufacturer of the specified product), the device provides point-to-point (box to box) operation between a camera site and CCTV monitor location. The encoder (transmitter) converts standard, composite NTSC or PAL video signals from a surveillance camera or other video sources into MPEG-2 format for transmission via the Ethernet or Internet network. The MPEG-2 decoder (receiver) then converts the data to composite video for display on a standard CCTV monitor. If the camera is equipped for pan/tilt/zoom operation, camera control commands may also be sent from the decoder to the encoder unit, via the network, using a compatible CCTV keyboard. 2) Function as a device capable of operating as a stand alone MPEG-2 video encoder (transmitter) when either Microsoft s Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher) web browser or an optionally available video management software program offered by the manufacturer is on the network and functioning as the receiver (decoder). If the camera at the encoder site is equipped for pan/tilt/zoom operation, camera control commands may also be sent via the web browser or the video management software program. 1
B. The front panel shall provide LED indicators to display the status of power; any transfer of data to and from the hard drive; and hardware failure. C. All operational settings of the encoder, including the IP address, shall be programmable via front panel buttons that provide access to the configuration menu to navigate, configure, and save changes to the configuration parameters. D. Video resolution of the specified encoder shall be as follows: 4CIF: (NTSC) 704 x 480 @30 ips: (PAL) 704 x 576 @25 ips CIF: (NTSC) 352 x 240 @30 ips: (PAL) 352 x 288 @25 ips E. Three password-protected authorization levels shall prevent unauthorized access to the encoder. The three authorization levels provided are: 1) The service authorization level shall allow a change of all the configuration settings of the encoder 2) A user level shall allow operation of the device, including p/t/z control if equipped, but prevent any changes to the configuration settings and 3) A live level of authorization allows display of live video with no p/t/z control. F. A bi-directional data interface port shall be provided via an RJ45 type connector. The port shall serve two functions: 1) as an RS-232 port used to configure and upgrade firmware of the specified encoder device and 2) to support RS-232, RS422, and RS-485 to control properly equipped pan/tilt/zoom cameras as recommended by the manufacturer of the specified device. For ease of installation and setup, the manufacturer shall supply an RJ45 to 9-Pin D connector interface cable. G. The internal time/date clocks of the specified encoder shall be synchronized from the network s system computer or at two hour intervals from a network time server (NTP server). The time synchronization capability ensures that simultaneously occurring events will display the correct time and date when multiple specified devices are connected to the same network. 2.04 Internal Hard Drive Requirements A. The specified encoder shall incorporate an integrated hard drive to be used as a digital video recorder for local, long-term video storage. While recording, replay and backup modes shall still be functional. As required by the application, the encoder shall be available with 120, 240, or 600 GB internal hard drives. B. The hard drive may be configured for up to 8 partitions where each may be individually defined for size, quality, type of video recording, pre and post alarm recording times, and compression standard. Each camera shall have its own partition. The configuration of all partitions, including hard drive space used and available memory information, shall be viewable via a partition settings table. C. The following two types of recording shall be selectable: 1) Ring mode recording will continue indefinitely so that when the maximum hard drive space has been reached, the oldest recordings will be 2
overwritten automatically. 2) Linear mode recording will stop when all the allocated drive space has been used. D. Live video or video clips stored on the encoder s hard drive shall be easily saved (backed up) to a remote computer s hard drive. E. Video may be recorded to the hard drive of the encoder upon an alarm input or during scheduled recording times. This locally recorded video may be viewed via Microsoft s Internet Explorer web browser or the manufacturer s optional video management software program. 2.04 Encoder Networking Requirement A. The encoder shall support multi-unicast operation. The encoder also supports the multicast function that provides simultaneous, real-time transmission to multiple receivers if the network is suitably configured with UDP and IGMP protocols. B. All operational settings of the encoder, including the IP address, shall also be programmable via the network using Microsoft s Internet Explorer web browser or the manufacturer s optional video management software program. Configuration of the device or status checking may be performed by the following modes: 1) Installation Wizard used for initial setup of the unit to provide step by step prompting through the necessary settings. 2) Overview provides a graphical display showing the most important parameters in groups for a quick overview of the device. Settings may also be made in this mode. 3) Expert All device parameters, including software updates, may be accessed in this mode. This mode is recommended only for experienced operators or administrators. C. If an Automatic Network Replenishment (ANR) scheme using manufacturer recommended network video recorders is implemented, and a network outage occurs, the video recorded to the hard drive of the encoder during the outage shall be available for retrieval to fill the lost gaps of video in the network video recorder once the network is restored. D. An auto-connect function shall allow the encoder to automatically establish a point to point network connection after a power loss. E. The encoder shall be compatible with RTP, Telnet, UDP, TCP/IP, ARP, HTTP, IGMP version 2, ICMP, and SNMP network protocols. 2.05 Alarm Handling Requirement A. An integrated video motion detector for each of the eight video channels shall process the input video and note changes to the video signal within the camera s field of view, and, in turn, generate an alarm condition. To prevent generating false alarms during movement, the number of frames monitoring movement and the minimum number of sensor cells detecting motion shall be selectable. Motion events for the currently selected camera shall be displayed as a preview frame showing the alarm and the time/date. B. The encoder shall provide ten (10) alarm inputs for connection of external signal sources, relays, or switches including door contacts or sensors. Each alarm input shall be individually configurable. 3
C. The encoder shall create an alarm in the event of video loss caused by sabotage of the camera, coaxial cable, or a camera failure. D. Upon an alarm condition to the encoder, live video may be transmitted: 1) To the decoder unit if operating on the network in a point-to-point configuration. 2) To a workstation PC connected to the network that is running optional receiver software (offered by the manufacturer) that can decode the incoming video stream. The transmitter (encoder) shall be capable of automatically establishing an MPEG-2 transmission standard connection to 1 of 10 predefined IP addresses during the alarm. E. Upon alarm, the encoder shall be capable of sending an e-mail message with an attached JPEG image to a specific URL address. 2.06 Relay Output Requirement A.
