INTRODUCTION The Intellex® RMS digital video management system combines multiplexing, alarm and event detection, and image recording from up to 8 video cameras with RAID 5 six-drive fault-tolerant storage technology, all in a rack-mountable platform. The images are recorded directly to the internal hard drives, allowing you quick and easy access to your recorded images. The RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) "5" configuration means that the data is striped across all the drives.
Installation and Operating Instructions FEATURES • The Activity Log provides a record of all activity that a user has performed on an Intellex unit after the user has logged in, such as who changed a setting, which menus were accessed, what video was downloaded, and so on. • The Camera Selectable Rate feature lets you assign higher or lower recording rates to specific cameras. • The Covert Camera feature permits viewing and recording of video from specified camera(s) by authorized users only.
Intellex RMS Digital Video Management System • Compatible with color and B&W video cameras or other NTSC/EIA (PAL/CCIR) standard compatible video sources. Video synchronization is not required. • Records images digitally, which eliminates the need for VCRs and videotape. Backs up images to a CD-RW or an optional Digital Audio Tape (DAT), saves them to a floppy diskette or transfers them to videotape. • User can select, enhance and copy images onto a computer diskette or print them.
Installation and Operating Instructions BASIC INTELLEX SYSTEM A sample configuration is shown below.
Intellex RMS Digital Video Management System SAMPLE NETWORK CONFIGURATION One or more Intellex units can be connected over a TCP/IP local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN). Its data can then be managed from a central site using the Network Client (sold separately). A sample network configuration is shown below.
Installation and Operating Instructions ABOUT RAID AND RAID 5 The Intellex RMS system is configured to support a RAID 5 type of disk array. While there are several types of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) systems, they all allow multiple hard drives to be combined together to form one large logical drive, called an array. The operating system sees the multiple disk in a RAID array as a single hard drive; the RAID software or controller handles each drive on its own.
Intellex RMS Digital Video Management System ACCESSORIES Intellex USB Floppy Drive The USB floppy drive can be used to save Intellex configurations, single .BMP images from the image tools feature, and to install software patches and upgrades. Intellex USB CD-RW Drive The USB CD-RW drive can be used to export video clips to CD-R or CD-RW disks or to update the Intellex software.

Intellex RMS Digital Video Management System Where Motion Detection is generic, Motion Exception is specific. With Motion Exception, you can define multiple, smaller areas of interest, specify the size of the object to detect, and even specify the direction and speed of the object. Note these important differences: Motion Exception: Selectivity Motion Detection: Sensitivity Needs to analyze many images before reacting. Reacts image to image. Works best outside. Works best inside.
Installation and Operating Instructions In order to compare both types of motion filters on a single camera, loop that camera’s signal to an unused input (make sure to set the termination properly). Use Motion Detection on one input and Motion Exception on the other. By observing the results of both methods and making changes to both, you will learn how best to use each method. To perform a comprehensive search for all types of motion in recorded video, you can use both methods on the same camera.
Intellex RMS Digital Video Management System 5. Click Setup and the Motion Exception screen appears. A segment must be defined for the Setup button to be displayed. For more information on defining a segment, refer to Defining a New Segment on page 82. Figure 1 — Motion Exception Screen The following table describes the components of the Motion Exception screen: Draw Zone Defines the target area for the alarm or filter. The defined object must fit within this target area.
Installation and Operating Instructions Active Zone Settings (page 103) Motion Exception 102 NOTE: You can use the default settings for size, speed and direction by drawing a target area without specifying size, speed or direction for the object. The default settings will trigger an alarm for virtually any type of motion in the target area. You can adjust these settings independently of each other to reduce the number of objects that trigger alarms.
Intellex RMS Digital Video Management System Active Zone Settings When setting up Motion Exception filters to search for or filter an event or a number of events, we recommend that you create a number of target areas for the selected camera. Most camera placements and the environments in which cameras operate will record video that exhibits wide variations.
Installation and Operating Instructions Direction To specify the direction(s) in which the object must be moving, select the Direction button. The eight direction arrows are now active. Click on each of the direction arrows to enable or disable a direction. An object’s direction is defined by the 45° sector into which the object’s movement falls. By enabling multiple sectors, you expand the possible range of directions in which an object’s movement may be tracked.
Intellex RMS Digital Video Management System 7. Click the Shape pull-down menu and select Ellipse, Rectangle or Custom shape.

If the Latch Messages option is selected, the unit displays the alarm message until the Clear Latched button on the Utility Options screen is clicked (see Utility Options on page 53). Live Filter Events The Intellex live filters enable the unit to respond to specific activity at specific cameras.
Installation and Operating Instructions Once the unit exits the alarm state, it returns to the previous display mode, record mode and quality settings. If the Latch Messages option is selected, the unit displays the alarm message until the Clear Latched button on the Utility Options screen is clicked (see Utility Options on page 53). Video Loss Alarms The Intellex system can detect loss of the video signal at any connected camera input.
Intellex RMS Digital Video Management System Generated Alarms At any time, the operator can flag specific activity as an alarm event, even if the activity does not trigger a filter or trip an alarm. For more information on generating alarms, see Creating an Activity Log on page 55. When the operator generates an alarm: 1. The unit energizes the alarm output associated with the camera. 2. The unit records images from the alarm camera at the alarm record rate and quality setting. 3.
Installation and Operating Instructions Alarm Groups During normal operation, the Intellex unit samples cameras in camera number order. Each time through the sequence, the unit samples one image from each camera (unless disabled). For example, with eight cameras connected, the sequence is: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 ... When an alarm is detected, the unit increases the number of samples from the camera associated with the alarm. It adds the camera to the alarm group.
