DVN 5000 Series Features According to Software Version

DVN 5000 Software Release 2.9

DVN 5000 Release 2.9 includes the following new features:
• Support of 32-channels (16 analog cameras and 16 network cameras, or 32 network cameras) on a single DVN 5000 (Rackmount Series
only).
• Support of various MPEG4 Panasonic® and Sony® fixed or Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) network cameras for a complete Internet Protocol (IP)
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) solution.
Note: Tours are not supported for any network PTZ camera; however, targets tours are supported. Also, a targets tour can be created to
emulate a tour. Please contact the camera manufacturer's Technical Support center or refer to the camera's documentation for assistance.
• Single Sign-On Authentication using Microsoft® Active Directory directory service or other Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
servers. This feature enables users to log on to the DVN software by entering their Active Directory directory service or LDAP user account
name and password. The added Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol helps prevent eavesdropping of login names and passwords between
the LDAP server and the DVN 5000.
• DVN Text Insertion Service, which allows clients running under any operating system to send text insertion messages over the IP network
from Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals, Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), fuel pumps, a keyboard, or other special-purpose embedded
computer applications using a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) socket.
• Support of longer user names and passwords – user names can now have a maximum of 64 characters and passwords can have a maximum
of 128 alphanumeric characters.
• Increase in the maximum number of simultaneous client connections to the DVN 5000 server (from 16 to 32).
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server functionality. SNMP clients can request status data from the DVN server, which can
generate notifications when the value of an important status variable changes. The following DVN attributes can be viewed from an SNMP
client: DVN version, camera number, camera name, camera configuration, camera operation, Network Time Protocol (NTP) server
connection, Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) operation, and disk volume and operation.
• Scheduling archive backups from the same day or previous day’s video with directory wildcards to simplify categorizing and searching.
• Authentication option when backing up archive video, enabling users to add a unique electronic signature to .AVI files generated during the
backup process. This later helps to determine whether someone has tampered with the back-up files after being saved in their defined storage
location.
• Online help for VisionWeb.
• Updated Microsoft Windows XP® Embedded operating system (Release 8.0).
• Better support for dual core processors, increasing the speed and reliability of the DVN.
• White List feature that allows remote DVN 5000 Series server access to clients connected only from a specific IP address or a group of IP
addresses.
• Local Network Access limitation; the DVN server can be configured to authenticate a user only if the client computer is on the same subnet
as the DVN 5000 server.
• Support of up to 32 characters (instead of 15) for the DVN TCP/IP host name.
• User login bypass feature, which enables Web portal application developers using the DVN Software Development Kit (SDK) to allow users
from a client computer, once they initially log in, to bypass the login requirement each time they visit a video-enabled portal page.
• Integration with P2000 software Release 3.8 and higher using the DVN Software Development Kit (SDK).
• New IP bandwidth estimation tool and storage calculator.

DVN Software Release 2.7

DVN 5000 Release 2.7 includes the following new features:
• Support of many MPEG4 AXIS™ fixed or PTZ network cameras for a complete IP CCTV solution.
• Added link to configure DVN 100-NET encoders or AXIS network cameras to facilitate installation of these products
• Video exported to CD or DVD can now be played back on any computer without having to use a separate codec
Note: Video exported to Apple®’s MP4 format requires Apple’s QuickTime® media viewer for playback.
• Proper system shutdown – when users press the power button, the system sends a message that it is shutting down; users have 3 seconds
to cancel the shutdown; if they do not cancel the shutdown in the allotted time, the system shuts down properly. This feature helps prevent
users from improperly shutting down the DVN.
• New VisionWeb software interface
• PTZ control of DVN-100 NET cameras from a DVN 5000
• When users manually adjust the focus and/or iris on an AXIS camera, the DVN automatically resets the camera to auto-adjustment mode
1 minute after the last manual adjustment.

DVN Software Release 2.5

DVN 5000 Release 2.5 includes the following new features:
• Added MPEG4 compression to multiplexed units for larger storage capabilities (replaces previous Wavelet format).

The performance specifications are nominal and conform to acceptable industry standards. For applications at conditions beyond these specifications, consult the local Johnson Controls office.

card failure.
• Included the .NET framework to run various web services and applications, such as system health monitoring.
• Added the Intel® Active Monitor/Hardware monitoring tools.
• Added capability to export video with text insertion data.
