Introduction
Integrated CCTV enables users to see what occurred at an Exciter in an alarm situation. The
software automatically displays images from the appropriate CCTV camera when an alarm
occurs, so that staff can respond with full knowledge of the situation.
Note: CCTV images displayed in the system software are not processed by an Artificial
Intelligence (AI) for face recognition.

Required Components
Patient Security CCTV Application Pack (p/n 816A0201)
CCTV systems: Integral DVXi or Stanley VIP X
Standard enterprise routermay be required if CCTV PS Server resides on hospital
LAN and there is no spare port on an existing router
Internet Explorer v 6.0 for all PCs in the network

System Requirements
The system requirements for the CCTV PS Server(s) are as follows.

CCTV Requirements
Model Integral Technologies DVX XP4 or
DVXi TS4 D
Software version MasterControl version 3.1 to 4.1

Model Stanley VIP X

Software version 10

Installation Options
One or more CCTV Servers are connected over a LAN to the PCs of the PS system to enable
the latter to display CCTV images. This could be a small dedicated LAN for the PS system or a
Virtual LAN (VLAN) created in the facility network.

CCTV Servers Installed on the PS System Networks

With this configuration, the CCTV Server(s) shares the same network with the PS PCs. This
option is the simplest to implement, and is suitable if the customer does not require that CCTV
images also be available in other parts of the facility (e.g., Security). Note that in this setup the
PS Server must run Win2003 Server for time synchronization with the CCTV server.

CCTV Servers Connected to PS System Network via a Router

This configuration enables the CCTV Server(s) to reside on a different network, while ensuring
system security. The standard enterprise router is configured to allow only the CCTV Server(s)
to communicate with the PCs of the PS system. Use this option if connecting to an existing
CCTV system, or if the customer wishes to make images available in other parts of the facility.
It is possible that the hospital has an existing router with an available port to connect the PS
system network. If not, a router will have to be installed as part of the CCTV upgrade.

This configuration requires close consultation with the IT department of the hospital. The
description shown here is for a general reference only, as each hospital will have its own network
policies and procedures which must be followed. Note that there is a requirement for a
Windows Server on the network for time synchronization between the PS Server and the CCTV
Server.

Installation Considerations
Ensure each exit protected by an Exciter can be viewed from at least one CCTV camera. Each
CCTV camera is linked to an Exciter in the system software. When an alarm occurs at the
Exciter (not just Exit alarms, but any alarm where location is known), the software automatically
displays images from the camera. It is important, therefore, to have every Exciter in view of at
least one camera.

Installation
This section discusses certain aspects of installing an Integral Technologies CCTV or Stanley
VIP X system for use with the PS system. It does not cover physical installation or general
system configuration in detail. Every CCTV system ships with a comprehensive user manual
providing this information. If you require assistance, consult with the CCTV representative.
To install CCTV on the system LAN
1. Install the CCTV Server according to the instructions from the appropriate CCTV
installation manual.
2. Connect the CCTV Server to the PS system LAN hub, and configure the CCTV Server for
Windows peer to peer networking.
3. Install the CCTV cameras in the desired locations according to the instructions from the
CCTV manual. Make sure that at least one camera is aimed at each exit protected by an
Exciter.
4. Install and configure the software according to the instructions from the CCTV manual.
To install CCTV on an existing LAN
1. Install the CCTV Server according to the instructions from the CCTV manual.
2. Connect the CCTV Server to the hospital LAN. Consult with the hospital IT department.
3. Install the CCTV cameras in the desired locations according to the instructions from the
CCTV manual. Make sure that at least one camera is aimed at each exit protected by an
Exciter.
4. Connect the PS system LAN to the hospital LAN via a standard enterprise router. It is
essential that only the CCTV Server(s) have access to the PCs of the system LAN. Consult
with the hospital IT department.
5. Install and configure the software according to the instructions from the CCTV manual.
Note: Internet Explorer 6.0 is required for all PCs in the network.

Creating a User Account for each System PC

The PS Server and each Client PC in the system requires a user account in order to access
images from the CCTV system. If using more than one CCTV Server, this procedure must be
performed on each CCTV Server to which the system will be connected.

Setup in the PS System Manager Software

Complete the following steps to enable CCTV in the PS system software. Users must also be granted
permission to use the CCTV feature.
To enable CCTV
1. Open the PS System Manager and select System on the left side of the screen.

2. Under CCTV Servers, click New and select either Dvxi or Vip from the drop-down list.
3. Enter the Windows name of the Server*, then click Save. If you wish to add another CCTV
Server, click New and type in the name, and click Save again. You can delete a CCTV Server
by selecting it from the list and clicking Delete.
*Note: To find the Windows name, right-click on the My Computer icon found on the desktop
of the Server, and select Properties from the shortcut menu. The name is listed under the
Computer Name tab as Full computer name.
4. To have video images always appear when an alarm occurs, select the Always show camera
on alarm check box. This setting means that the player window will be available to appear
on all PCs when an alarm occurs, even if no user is logged in or the current user does not
have CCTV user permissions.

5. Click Save to save the new settings.

Note: The PS Server synchronizes time with the CCTV Server that is displayed in the CCTV
Server drop-down menu. Make sure that this PS Server is time-coordinated with all other
CCTV Servers so that the correct footage will be called during an alarm. The time zone must
also match. The most effective way to achieve this is to have a Windows Server on the network
to synchronize the time.

Setting CCTV User Permissions in the System Manager
