5 Configuration

5.1 Track ModeSMAVIA Appliances with BANK license are specially adapted for the use in credit and currency exchange institutions regarding to the used track mode.

In the Manual track mode the entire video memory will be segmented into memory units automatically. Every camera / track is assigned manually a particular number of the mem-ory units (track size). Thereby, static tracks will be defined. The size of the tracks can be modified at any time without the need to delete recordings.

¾ Open the Recording Settings dialogue via Setup > Recording > Cameras/Tracks.

Fig. 1

¾ Set the number of memory units in the Units column. ¾ Note the reserved hard disk capacity in the HDD column. ¾ Proceed as described for all relevant tracks. ¾ Finally confirm with OK.

RecordingThe recordings will be saved continuously into a memory unit of the corresponding track. When the memory unit is filled, the track’s next empty memory unit will be used.

When no empty memory unit of the track is available, the track’s oldest memory unit will be deleted and used for the current recording.

www.dallmeier.com 8


ModificationsAt any time the size of the tracks can be increased by adding memory units. The recordings do not have to be deleted.

The size of the tracks can be decreased by removing memory units anytime. At first empty memory units will be removed. If no empty memory units are available, the oldest will be deleted and removed. Further recordings in the track do not have to be deleted.

Tracks can be dropped and new tracks can be created without deleting other tracks or recordings.

The video quality settings can be modified at any time. The recordings in the corresponding track do not have to be deleted.

www.dallmeier.com 9


5.2 Track TypesSMAVIA Appliances with BANK license are specially adapted for the use in credit and currency exchange institutions regarding to the used track types and track names. The corresponding track names of an appliance without this license are given in brackets.

Longplay (Longplay)Longplay tracks are generally large ring memories. They are used for ongoing recording. One Longplay track is available for each camera.The recording within Longplay tracks should be configured with the Recording Mode Mo-tion.

Note that third-party IP cameras can only record in the recording mode “Permanent” or “Contact”.

Hold-up (Saving)Hold-up tracks are generally relatively small ring memories. One Hold-up track can be as-signed to each camera. Different recording modes can be defined for the Longplay track and the Hold-up tracks.As soon as a hold-up alarm is triggered the Hold-up tracks are saved. This ensures that current images cannot be overwritten. The recording is then continued in a new Hold-up track.The recording in the Hold-up tracks must be configured with the Recording Mode Perma-nent.

Note that the “Hold-up” track type cannot be selected for third-party IP cameras.

Saved Hold-up (Secure track)Hold-up tracks are called Saved Hold-up when they were protected from being overwritten. Depending on the number of triggered alarms, more than one Saved Hold-ups may exist for each camera.

Suspicion (without correspondet)The Suspicion track is a mixed track where images from various cameras can be saved. If configured in the Recording Settings dialogue the recording of the cameras is triggered by pressing of the suspicion button. During the evaluation of the suspicion track the camera buttons can be used as filters.The recording in the Suspicion track must be configured with the Recording Mode Con-tact.

Reference track (Reference track)Only individual camera images are saved in the reference track. These can be used to compare the current camera settings and positions with the original situation. Reference tracks are therefore not used for recording purposes and neither can they be played back.

www.dallmeier.com 10


5.3 Hold-up RecordingA hold-up alarm is triggered by an alarm switch which is connected to the Contact IN (configured by the function Start Alarm) interface of the appliance.

When an alarm is triggered, the recording of the hold-up cameras in the hold-up tracks is continued for the duration of the alarm. Afterwards the hold-up tracks are saved and re-cording is continued in new hold-up tracks.

A configuration for the use in credit and currency exchange institutions regards the follow-ing requirements:

• Recordings of the hold-up cameras must be available and saved 15 minutes before and after triggering.

• Recording must be made 15 minutes before and after triggering with a minimum of 2 frames per second.

• Recordings of the hold-up cameras must be made with a resolution of at least 1280 × 720 pixels.

• The recordings of at least two hold-ups have to be stored and secured.


Fig. 2

¾ Make sure, that enough storage capacity is available (Disk occupation). ¾ Open the Hold-up dialogue via Settings... > Hold-up.



5.3.1 Length of the Hold-up TracksThe length of hold-up tracks determines the duration of the recording before and after a triggering. It must last at least 30 minutes.

Fig. 3 Length of the hold-up tracks

¾ Set the Alarm duration (min.) if required. ¾ Set the Pre-alarm duration (min.) if required.

The minimum alarm duration of 15 minutes before and after a trigger is set by default and can not be exceeded.

5.3.2 Data RateThe bit rate (data rate) is a measure of the degree of compression of video data. It thus has a direct impact on the image quality of the recordings. A low bit rate stands for a high degree of compression with a relatively small volume of data. But the image quality also is poor. A high bit rate stands for a low degree of compression with a relatively large volume of data. The image quality is very good.

Fig. 4 Bit rate

¾ Set the Maximum bit rate (Mbps) if required.



5.3.3 Number of Hold-up TracksThe number of hold-up tracks determine the number of hold-ups which can be long-termed saved and so are protected against overwriting.

Fig. 5 Number of hold-up tracks

¾ Set the Minimum number of Hold-up tracks on at least three times the number of channels of the appliance.

5.3.4 Frame RateAccording to the requirements for the use in credit and currency exchange institutions the recording in the Hold-up tracks must take place with a minimum of 2 frames per second (2 fps).

¾ Open the Recording Settings dialogue via Setup > Recording > Cameras/Tracks. ¾ Right click on the recording button of the relevant camera in the Hold-up track to open the corresponding configuration dialogue.

Fig. 6 Recording settings

¾ Select the Normal Quality tab (for IP cameras) if required. ¾ Set a Frame rate of at least 2 fps. ¾ Confirm with OK.



5.4 Suspicion RecordingSuspicion recording is triggered by a suspicion switch, which is connected to the Contact IN interface of the appliance (configured with the function Start Recording (Recording Type Contact) and assigned to the relevant cameras).

By triggering the suspicion switch the recordings of the hold-up cameras are saved in the suspicion track for a certain time. This doesn’t affect the recording in the Longplay- or Hold-up tracks.

A configuration for the use in credit and currency exchange institutions regards the follow-ing requirements:

• Recordings of the hold-up cameras must be saved in the suspicion track at least 10 sec-onds after releasing the suspicion switch.

• Recording must be made with at least 1 frame per second.• Recordings of the hold-up cameras must be made with a resolution of at least

1280 × 720 pixels.• There must be capacity to save recordings of at least 99 suspected triggers.• Records within the suspicion tracks may not be overwritten before 10 days.


Fig. 7

¾ Make sure, that enough storage capacity is available (Disk occupation). ¾ Open the Suspicion dialogue via Settings... > Suspicion.



5.4.1 Length of the Suspicion TrackThe length of the suspicion track determines the number of suspected triggers and the point in time when the first pictures are overwritten. The default setting of the recorder is designed from the factory to the storage of 100 suspicion cases of 24 cameras and not be exceeded.

Fig. 8 Length of the suspicion track

¾ Set the number of Images.

5.4.2 Frame Rate and DurationAccording to the requirements for the use in credit and currency exchange institutions the recording in the suspicion tracks must take place with 1 frame per second (1 fps) for at least 10 seconds.

¾ Open the Recording Settings dialogue via Setup > Recording > Cameras/Tracks. ¾ Right-click on the recording button of the relevant camera in the suspicion track to open the corresponding configuration dialogue.

Fig. 9 Recording settings

¾ Note that the frame rate is fixed to 1 fps. ¾ Set the Contact Recording Duration with at least 10 seconds. ¾ Confirm with OK.



6 Activity MonitoringThe ATM activity monitoring function is desigend to control the recording of cameras that are installed in automated teller machines. It can be used also to control of every camera that record in longplay track (LP-Track) and hold-up track (HO-Track).

6.1 ATM Activity MonitoringThe ATM activity monitoring function is relevant for the recording modes Motion and Contact. The function assumes an error (eg insufficient configuration of the image com-parison or defective contact sensor) when recording was not raised in a defined period. This error may display a system message and / or sending an alarm host trigger message.

When a recording monitored in the “ATM activity monitoring” dialogue is stopped, no failure is suspected by the function.

¾ Open the ATM activity monitoring dialogue via Setup > System > ATM activity monitoring.

¾ Select the ATM activity monitoring tab.

Fig. 10

¾ Select the required track (LP-Track / HO-Track). ¾ Set the maximum timeout for the required cameras / channels. ¾ Click the OK button in order to save the settings.



6.2 Minimum Storage PeriodThe Min. storage period function is relevant for all types of recording. A channel / record-ing can be defined so that they normally covers a specific time range. Various events can cause a situation in which more images must be included or more memory is required.

Recording Mode EventMotion More motion than expected.Contact More contacts than expectedAll recording modes Increased storage requirements due to lack of image quality

When these events occur permanently, the specified time range Min. storage period may be less. In this case, the function assumes an error and can display a system message and / or sending an alarm host trigger message.

If a track monitored in the “ATM activity monitoring” dialogue is too small, the function sus-pected a failure.

¾ Open the ATM activity monitoring dialogue via Setup > System > Options > Recording Monitoring.

¾ Select the Min. storage period tab.

Fig. 11

¾ Select the required track (LP-Track / HO-Track). ¾ Set the minimum duration for the required cameras / channels. ¾ Click the OK button in order to save the settings.



7 Reference Images as PDFThe reference image memory is used to compare image quality and camera perspective for revisions. Thus can be determined, whether the lens has been adjusted or the camera has been mechanically modified in the position. The images stored at any given time are so called reference image set.A master reference image set can be sent by e-mail together with the current camera ima-ges as a PDF document to a defined alarm host. This can be done manually or can be set up as a continuous broadcast (in intervals or at a specific point in time at daily, weekly or monthly).The reference image is compared with the current camera image in the PDF document. Thus, image quality and camera angles can be matched. In addition, the document con-tains information about camera number and name and the time stamp of the reference image and of the current camera image.
