www.pacom.com DIGITAL VIDEO INTEGRATION WITH GMS DVR MODULE 10.1 'True High Level Integration with many of today’s leading manufacturers' 800 001 019 DSS-019 JUL10v10.1 OVERVIEW Pacom’s range of intelligent digital video interfaces adds another dimension to integrated alarm management. Intuitive “video verification” can be accomplished from the convenience of any GMS workstation while an operator is monitoring the system and responding to alarm conditions. Immediate access to video in response to an event is fast and efficient, and can be configured to occur on any alarm or access control event. When actioning events from a GMS configured for use with one of the many supported video interfaces, the operator will receive the associated video clip, an interactive site map, a site transaction log, alarm instructions, and be able to select from a range of operator actions. The Google Map corresponding to the site location can also be displayed. Greater integration is possible with some video manufacturers by having an optional High Level Interface between the DVR / NVR and Pacom Field Controller. This enables data and commands to be passed back and forth between the two field devices. For example, the Pacom Field Controller could report a hard drive failure to the GMS and also treat motion detection alarms as standard intrusion events. Conversely, recording can be activated by the Field Controller if a specific alarm or access control event occurs. All of this can be achieved without messy (relay) wiring and without being dependent on a host application. As of GMS v4.06, a separate ‘DVR Module’ has been introduced. This DVR Module has been designed to be as independent from GMS as possible, allowing the support of new DVR types without having to change anything in GMS. As the result of this separation, new versions of the DVR Module can be released on an ‘on demand’ basis, without having to wait for the next GMS release, and not having any impact on GMS releases. FEATURES Stream live video to the GMS workstation by clicking an interactive camera icon. Automatic live and/or recorded video displayed when actioning events enables simple verification and reduction of false alarm call outs. Easily link cameras to events such as alarm activations and card access transactions.
