The second generation of the WS5200 has also been designed to
deliver optimum decoding performance to take advantage of the
latest capabilities of analog cameras and advances in compression
technology. The WS5200 supports MPEG-4 as well as all common
profiles of the latest H.264 codec. Provided the host PC has enough
processing power, users can simultaneously decode sixteen 4CIF,
MPEG-4 video streams in real time, or twelve H.264 baseline profile
streams in real time, or two 1080p streams in real time. Of course,
any combination is also supported. Additionally, more cameras can
be viewed simultaneously using the WS5200’s convenient tear-off
tabs and leveraging multiple monitors to display more content.
Endura's patent-pending EnduraView
™
technology will manage the
CPU processing load and network bandwidth requirements by
automatically seeking out and displaying a lower resolution,
secondary stream (if one exists), or reducing the refresh rate to
ensure that system stabilization is not jeopardized.
To take advantage of the latest developments in monitor technology
and camera capabilities, the WS5200 interface automatically detects
the monitor's native resolution and aspect ratio and configures the
display to accommodate what the monitor can support. Based on the
monitor's native aspect ratio, the WS5200 supports screen
configurations in single-image, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4, 1 + 5, 1 + 12, and
2 + 8 for 4:3 aspect ratio displays and adds 3 x 2 and 4 x 3 for 16:9
aspect ratio displays. As different cameras operate in different aspect
ratios, the WS5200 will maintain the native aspect ratio of the
camera to minimize any potential distortion of the image. An
innovative Zone of Interest
™
feature makes it convenient to leverage
the power of today’s megapixel cameras to cover a large field of view
while allowing a user to independently select certain areas of the
scene to get a closer view. The WS5000’s zone of interest capability
consumes no additional processing power or network bandwidth as a
user creates up to six independently controlled zones of interest from
a single camera.
Recorded footage can be instantly accessed for any camera without
impacting the ability to maintain live surveillance over other cameras
on the same monitor. Flexible synchronous playback allows operators
to synchronize the playback of 16 cameras for investigations that
require multiple vantage points of the same event. Additionally, the
WS5200 allows users to review recorded footage from any camera
while simultaneously viewing the live stream from that camera on the
same monitor. Camera controls, PTZ operation, video playback
controls, snapshot capture, and export tools all conveniently appear
over the video when the cursor is placed on the desired camera's view.
Fully Integrated Administration and Management
In addition to access to live and recorded video, the WS5200 also
serves as an administration and management console for the Endura
system. With proper user credentials, administrative users can easily
configure all devices and users on the system. Camera, encoder
,
recorder, and decoder hardware and software parameters can be
accessed and managed from the administrative screens. Software
patches and updates can easily be pushed out to select or multiple
devices from the same console. User passwords, preferences, and
credentials can be centrally managed from one WS5200.
All diagnostic messages from every component on the Endura
network are available to any user and any viewing device. With
proper credentials, administrators can easily configure all users and
devices on the system. User actions and system messages are
continuously logged and available for audit trail purposes.
Integrated Alarm Management Engine
The WS5200 has a built-in alarm management engine. System
alarms, motion, and video analytics alarms are displayed in a
dedicated alarm workspace. As the alarm is generated, indicators
display the type of alarm, the priority level of the alarm, and the
current state of the alarm. Users can simply select the alarm and
visually verify its cause before determining whether to acknowledge
or snooze the alarm. Comments and instructions inserted by an
administrator serve to provide more detail about the alarm or to
instruct the operator about the next actions taken. Operators can
also add their own comments to be logged with the associated
alarm.
Extensible Architecture
The WS5200 offers an optional interface to Endura Mapping. The
mapping extension adds editing and map construction tools while
providing for a convenient way to monitor the entire facility for
alarms. Multiple layers can be turned on and off to provide access to
key devices. In addition, multiple maps can be hyperlinked together
to provide for easy navigation between map views.
As a fully integrated component of the WS5200, the mapping
interface provides a convenient visual verification from a pop-up
view
. In addition to access to recorded and live video from the
pop-up, operators can acknowledge or snooze the alarm, manually
execute relays and scripts as a response to the alarm, capture a
snapshot, or direct the associated camera onto the Endura monitor
wall for further analysis and action.
