VM96 Console Components The VM96 System consists of a video matrix switcher, a keyboard, Touch Trackers, monitors, domes, fixed cameras, and J-boxes that connect together to form the video surveillance system. In addition to these devices, the facility may also install VCRs, remote Touch Trackers, a SensorLink PC, or a POS/EM system to use in conjunction with the VM96 system.

Figures 1 through 3 introduce the VM96 console's components. The unit uses a PC-compatible power supply, motherboard, multi-I/O controller board, hard drive, floppy drive, keyboard, and SIMM memory. Standard PC connections are employed between these devices.

In addition, the Sensormatic-designed and built SensorNet communications controller board and video output board plug into the motherboard. The video output board also connects to the VM96 backplane, in order to receive video from, and pass power and control information to, the video switcher board. The video switcher board connects only to the VM96 backplane.

Overview of VM96 Installation Figure 4 depicts a simplified diagram of the components installed with a VM96 system. Figure 4: VM96 System Components

Before installing any devices, many decisions are made about the components of the system. For example:

�� How many J-boxes, domes, fixed cameras, Touch Trackers, monitors, and VCRs will be installed?

The VM96 system supports up to 96 cameras/domes, eight Touch Trackers, and eight switched monitors/VCRs. The number of J-boxes installed depends upon the type and number of domes installed.

�� Will dedicated monitors and VCRs be used in addition to switched monitors and VCRs?

Dedicated monitors and VCRs provide the ability to view and record areas that require continuous surveillance. However, these monitors and VCRs can only be used to monitor the camera to which they are connected. Switched monitors and VCRs permit the viewing and recording of any camera connected to the VM96 system.

�� What network protocol will be used? VM96 supports both SensorNet and RS-422

devices. For information about the various protocols, refer to Communication Protocols and Cable Networks (PN 8000-2573-19).

�� What are the power requirements for the devices being installed?

Depending on the type and number of devices installed, additional electrical outlets, power supplies, or power strips may be necessary.

�� Do special considerations need to be made for remote devices such as Touch Trackers or domes?

If a remote Touch Tracker will be used, one local Touch Tracker must be dedicated to interface with the remote Touch Tracker. If domes will be installed at remote locations, such as a parking garage, sufficient cabling must be available to connect the remote J-boxes and domes to the local system.

The VM96 Planning Guide (PN 8000-2670-01) covers the information you need for planning the installation.

System Installation Sequence Begin installation activities by running composite cables between the dome and J-Box locations. After this is completed, run video trunk lines from J-Box locations to the VM96 console location (one per J-Box dome position, plus one spare per J-Box). Also, run a SensorNet or RS-422 control cable from VM96 to the J-Box locations, according to the chosen network configuration. Label all cables to identify the J-Box they attach to. Label dome video cables to identify the dome and J-Box.

Install J-Boxes next, followed by domes and cameras, monitors, VCRs, Touch Tracker controllers and EIMs, and the VM96 console with any upgrades. Finally, you need to configure the VM96 system software and bring the system on-line. Note: Use the forms provided through the VM96 Administrator menu to document the location of cameras, domes, J-Boxes, etc. This helps other Customer Engineers locate all of the customer's equipment. For information about using the forms, refer to the VM96 Administrator’s Manual (PN 8000-0756-05).

Verifying and Unpacking Equipment �� Verify that all equipment has arrived and that

the configuration shipped is correct for the site. �� Unpack components in a back room. �� At the installation area, lay out parts in the order

you will need them. Do not clutter traffic areas or cause a safety hazard.

Installing Power Keep in mind that all components attached to the VM96 console require 110Vac outlets. The necessary number of outlets can be provided by installing individual outlets in the console area or by mounting multi-outlet power strips on the wall behind the console. Neatly dress and tie-wrap all power and video cables after installation.

�� Cameras, domes, J-Boxes, I/O modules, SensorLink PC modules, Touch Tracker controllers, and the console are powered continuously, 24 hours a day.

�� Monitors and VCRs may be turned off when not in use. If the customer wishes to turn off the monitors and VCRs, this is most easily accomplished by attaching them to a power strip with an on/off switch. Be sure to connect only those components that will be turned on and off to this power strip.

Hint: Consider installing Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) if frequent power interruptions could occur.

Video and Data Flow Figure 5 provides an overview of the video and data flow between the VM96 console and the other components used with the system.

Touch Trackers provide the operator interface to control individual components and direct VM96 operations. Each Touch Tracker attaches via an External Interface Module (EIM).

VM96 receives video and alarm data from the domes and provides them with pan/tilt/zoom/focus control through the SensorNet or RS-422 data cables. J-Boxes provide power to the domes and distribute data between VM96 and the domes.

Monitors and/or VCRs can be inserted into a video line before the signal reaches VM96, thereby becoming dedicated to a specific dome or camera. They can also be attached to a VM96 video output channel, where they can be switched (under operator or programming control) to any attached dome or camera.

Installing the VM96 Console The preceding sections discussed the tasks associated with installing components attached to a VM96 system. This section discusses the steps to install the VM96 console and summarizes the tasks that must be performed to attach video input and output devices (cameras, VCRs, monitors) and Touch Tracker controllers.

If you need to install a Video Switcher board, Video Output Board or Text Overlay Board, go to Upgrading the Console on page 9 before performing the following tasks.

Site Considerations �� Provide clean, unswitched AC power and

grounding in accordance with applicable electrical codes.

All equipment must be plugged into 3-wire, grounded receptacles only.

�� Provide a surface or table area for console installation of not less than 43cm wide by 40cm deep by 31cm high (17"x16"x12"). For servicing, provide for an additional 31cm (12") of unobstructed space above the console.

Wall or rack mounting will require optional mounting kits.

�� The VM96 System Administrator performs programming and setup functions using the monitor attached to video output #1. Locate this monitor close to the keyboard, next to the console.

�� Ensure that the floppy drive slot on the front of the console is easily accessible during normal operation.

�� Protect the console from vibration, temperature extremes, moisture, and excessive dust.

�� Avoid exposing the console to strong magnetic fields as this may degrade the hard drive or floppy diskette media.

�� If you place the console on the floor, position it so the operator cannot inadvertently kick the power switch and turn it off.

�� NEVER block the ventilation fan at the back of the console.

Connecting Cables

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! To reduce the risk of electric shock or equipment damage, disconnect power to domes and J-Boxes before connecting cables.

Attaching Domes to J-Boxes using Composite Cables Complete information about connecting cables to Domes and J-Boxes can be found in the associated installation information.

Attaching J-Boxes to VM96 Composite cables carry video, data, and power from the domes to the J-Box. The video and data must now be transmitted from the J-Boxes to the VM96 console.

Run one RG-59 video coaxial cable per dome, plus 1-2 spares per J-Box, from the J-Box location to the VM96 console back panel. Label both ends of each cable with the dome number and J-Box number. Label spare cables uniquely with the J-Box number and a sequential number (for example, Spare 02-1).

Run data cables according to the network topology design. SensorNet uses unshielded twisted pair cables; RS-422 uses shielded 4-wire cable. Label both ends of each data cable and run it in conformance with the chosen network topology. Terminate the first and last device on each SensorNet network link.

SensorNet J-Box Connection to VM96

Video Refer to Figure 13 on page 14. Attach a female BNC connector to each video cable's J-Box end, and a male BNC connector to the VM96 end. After pulling, connect each trunk cable's J-Box end to the appropriate composite cable video lead. Connect each trunk cable's VM96 end to its assigned port on the video switcher board.

Data and Power Do not cascade several closely placed SensorNet J-Boxes through the AUX ports. The resulting high signal level can mask SensorNet data, causing transmission errors.

If several J-Boxes will be mounted close to each other, connect the HOST ports together in a star, backbone, or daisy-chain and terminate appropriately.

Refer to Figure 13 on page 14. At the J-Box end, plug the composite cables (from the domes) into connectors P1 through P6. Attach the SensorNet cable from the host to pins 1 and 2 of a 4-pin compression connector. If attaching J-Boxes or other devices to the AUX terminal, connect the device attachment cable to pins 3 and 4. Plug the connector into the HOST/AUX port (P8). Where termination is necessary, set the termination jumpers to the 1-2 position (JW1- domes 123, JW2- domes 456, JW3- HOST, JW4- AUX).

At the VM96 end, connect the SensorNet cable to positions 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8 of an 8-pin compression connector and plug it into the SensorNet section of the SensorNet Communication Controller board.

Connecting Monitors and VCRs Note: For VCR installation and configuration instructions, refer to VCR Installation and Programming on page 20.

VM96 supports attachment of up to eight switched (call) monitors and/or VCRs. In addition, dedicated (full-time) monitors and/or VCRs can be connected to the video from any camera before connecting to the VM96 video switcher port.

Switched units connect directly to a port on the video output board and can display or record video from any camera attached to VM96.

Dedicated units connect to an individual camera and can only display or record the attached camera's video.

To attach a switched monitor or VCR (Figure 15):

1. Connect a video cable of appropriate length with a male BNC connector on each end to the selected VM96 output port.

2. Connect the cable's other end to the input port on the VCR or monitor. If attaching a switched VCR and monitor, connect to the VCR first, then run another cable from the VCR's output port to the monitor's input port. This allows information recorded on the VCR to be viewed on the monitor.

3. If necessary, run a video cable from the monitor's output port to the next device or system that will use the port's video signal.

Figure 15: Switched VCR/Monitor Connections

To attach a dedicated monitor or VCR (Figure 16):

1. Connect the video cable from the J-Box or camera to the input port on the VCR or monitor. If attaching a dedicated VCR and monitor, connect to the VCR first, then run another cable from the VCR's output port to the monitor's input port. This allows information recorded on the VCR to be viewed on the monitor.

2. Connect the video cable from the VCR/monitor video output port to the correct VM96 input port.

Connecting VM96 Touch Tracker Controllers VM96 supports up to eight Touch Tracker controllers. Installation and configuration of Touch Tracker controllers is covered in the following documents:

�� VM96 Touch Tracker Installation Instructions (PN 8000-0748-01). Use with VM96 Standard Touch Trackers only.

�� VM96 Enhanced Touch Tracker Installation Instructions (PN 8000-0748-02). Use with VM96 Enhanced Touch Trackers only.

Installing a Remote Touch Tracker VM96 supports communication with a remotely located Touch Tracker using RS-232 communications. A local Touch Tracker must be dedicated to the remote unit while it is in use. The two Touch Trackers connect through the RS-232 ports on their respective EIMs. Modems allow the distance to be extended, and supports communications over voice-grade leased or switched lines.

When attaching with a modem, use a conventional modem cable and DB-25 to DB-9 converter, if required.

Attaching a SensorLink PC System This function requires VM96 Version 4 or later.

The SensorLink PC (SLPC) system allows remote viewing and control of up to 16 VM96-controlled cameras and domes. The SLPC system has the following components:

�� The remote SensorLink PC system �� The CC50 Camera Control Module �� The TX50 Transmitter Module �� Up to four EX45 Video Expansion Modules Video ports are provided in the TX50 Transmitter Module and EX45 Video Expansion Modules for up to 16 cameras and domes. The TX50 module also directs communications with the remote SLPC and other attached modules. The CC50 Camera Control Module passes Touch Tracker emulation messages from the SLPC to the VM96 system. It attaches in the same manner as a remote Touch Tracker.

In addition to these modules, a VM96-attached Touch Tracker and EIM must be assigned as the SLPC interface to VM96. When the SLPC is not connected, this controller can be used for normal VM96 operations.

The CC50 uses a straight-through DB-9 (M) to DB-9 (M) cable to connect with the RS-232 port on the dedicated Touch Tracker’s EIM.

Refer to the documentation that comes with the SensorLink PC modules for detailed instructions on installing the units, connecting them together, attaching TX50 to a modem or transceiver, and supplying power.

An RJ-11 cable is used to attach the CC50’s VIDI In port to the TX50's VIDI port. If other modules are present, they link to the CC50/TX50 by connecting their VIDI In port to the last connected module’s VIDI Out port.
