Software description 4 Software description 4.1 SISTORE MX NVS SISTORE MX NVS consists of a scalable client-server architecture. The SISTORE MX NVS servers and the SISTORE RemoteView clients are distributed in the network and enable the design and configuration of small to large video monitoring systems. SISTORE MX NVS (server) Each server supports the administration, recording and playback of up to 64 LAN cameras. For larger systems, multi-server configurations are supported.
Software description 4.1.1 Display mode Purpose In display mode, the live images of the connected cameras are displayed and all events that occur, such as camera failure, alarm inputs and malfunctions, are logged. Fig. 1 SISTORE MX NVS software in display mode 13 Siemens Building Technologies Fire Safety & Security Products 03.
Software description 4.1.2 Playback mode Purpose of playback mode The recordings can be evaluated in playback mode. The database enables a flexible, precise search for particular events and the related camera images. Access to this mode is regulated based on administrative permission levels and can be additionally controlled using the 4-eyes principle. Camera recording and live image display continue to run in playback mode. Fig.
Software description 4.1.3 Configuration mode Purpose of the configuration mode Configuration mode offers the following functions: Assignment of user rights, configuration of the digital LAN cameras, of the alarm inputs and all other inputs and outputs Camera settings for motion detection, alarm contact, output contact, time control, alarm forwarding, transmission, e-mail and SMS Network parameters such as ISDN or LAN with bandwidth limitation. Fig.
Software description 4.2 SISTORE RemoteView The SISTORE RemoteView software provides you with the option of convenient remote access evaluation of existing video sequences. SISTORE MX NVS functions as the server with SISTORE RemoteView as the client. This makes evaluation from any location possible if the SISTORE MX NVS system and the PC intended for evaluation are networked. Finally a connection via LAN, DSL or ISDN to the SISTORE MX NVS system is then required.
