Forward: CAM SS Workstation
CAM SS Workstation
is a complete digital video surveillance solution that may be used both for
long term
digital
video recording of quality video scenes onto reliable hard disk or as a
remote surveillance
system allowing for “dial in” or
remote LAN access as well as remote alarm video transmission to a previously assigned remote video operator work
stations.
Conceived in a 4U, 19” rack mount format and secure enclosure, CAM SS Workstation
DVR's (digital video recorders)
may accept up to 16 camera inputs depending on the number of 4 channel capture cards
preconfigured within the recorder.
(Optional 1 channel High FPS cards are also available for configuration)
The system may be used as a stand-alone recording device with a SVGA monitor and keyboard connected to the recorder,
or, be connected to either a 10BaseT or 100BaseT Network, allowing up to 32 remote operator review stations to
simultaneously communicate with a single recorder, offering both live view, playback as well as remote file transfer. (The
greater the number of recorders, the greater the number of simultaneous remote operator review stations…32 X # DVR's
on the Network…).
In addition to this feature and unlike other systems, the CAM SS Workstation recorder itself may be set up as a client to
view video from other remotely or LAN connected CAM SS DVR recorders without the required use of a dedicated
server or dedicated review station/PC as with other competitive technologies.
Behind a key locked swinging combination door are the following:
•
One removable 80 GB Fast Swap disk drive array with built-in cooling system
•
3.5" 1.44 Floppy Drive
•
Optional 24X CD-R CD-RW CDROM for both export of recorded video files as well as for system upgrade
purposes
•
Soft reset switch
•
Main Power Switch
•Individual power and record indicators for hard-drive status
•
Centrally mounted lock
•
AC Power indicator
•
CPU run indicator
•
Main Hard-disk status light

Chapter 1: Installation
The
CamSS
Digital Video Surveillance System is an all-in-one system that integrates various functions
including monitoring, video recording and playing, alarming, controlling and remote monitoring.
CamSS
transfers recorded image signals into digital signals then compresses and saves them in your computer.
SDMCT (Super Dynamic Motion Compression Technology) has been applied to this system. The super data
compression ratio makes it possible to save image data in the hard drive of a computer for weeks and/or even
months.
Although the SDMCT (Super Dynamic Motion Compression Technology) provides an extremely high image
compression ratio, the image quality is not affected. Small volumes of data enable it to transmit images
through limited bandwidth (narrow band) transmission media (e.g. MODEM) at a higher performance level.
SDMCT was specifically developed for the security market.
CamSS has the following features:
Simultaneously supports three types of
CamSS capture cards: Cam SS 1 Channel,
CamSS 4 Channel, and Cam SS 2 Channel Audio/Video.
-
CamSS 1 Channel card supports
one video input
-
CamSS 4 Channel card supports four video inputs
-
CamSS 2 Channel Audio/Video card supports two video and two audio inputs.
Multi-card design architecture: One PC supports up to 4 cards, 1~16 video inputs, and
up to 8 audio inputs. The installation can be a mix of three types of Cam SS
cards.
SDMCT with
high video compression
ratioprovides
superior image quality and extended recording time.
Adjustable image size, quality and recording speed.
Image data can be stored onto all of the hard disk drives that are installed in a computer.
Provides up to 8 audio channels to work with cameras for audio recording or playback.
Intelligent real-time

2.1 Starting
CamSS
At the very first run of CamSS
after installation,
CamSS
will request the user to define the user ID and
password for the System Administrator.
Note:
The
CamSS
system cannot be started, and the System Setup
cannot be performed until the
System Administrator
is set up. (The System Administrator is the user with the highest
privileges).
The System Administrator will need to remember their user ID and password
.
At the second and subsequent runs of the
CamSS
program,
CamSS
will request the users to

10
login with a user ID and password.
The User ID will limit scope and access for operations on the system dependent on the predefined access
auditing. This limitation does not apply to the System Administrator. Please refer to section 3.3 for the setting
of the user ID/password and auditing.
Note:
