 Partitioning
If you are using Partitioning, all DVR-associated items should be in the same
partition. However, there is no check in the software to prevent a user from setting
up partitions that are not practicable. For example, if an AV Switch and Camera
Preset are assigned to Partition A, and the Camera itself is assigned to Partition B,
the operator logged on to Partition A would neither see the Camera nor be able to
run the Preset unless they were made public.
DVR EVENT ACTIONS
A key advantage to DVR Integration is that you can program P2000 to react to events,
activated either by the system or card activation, which will start or stop the recording of any
detected moving image. The DVR equipment connected to the system can respond to event
actions using the P2000 Event application. You can define event actions that start or stop a
selected recording Camera, or define event actions that activate the Camera’s Preset, display
the image from a particular Camera on a selected Monitor, adjust the recording quality
(resolution/frame rate) of a selected Camera when a specific event occurs, and/or launch an
AV Player on a selected workstation. You can also define events that start recording and
archiving at the same time.
NOTE
When defining DVR event actions to adjust the camera recording quality,
refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for the ideal resolution/frame
rate combination quality factor.
There are two standard action categories in the P2000 events that can be used to create a
DVR event action:
 Audio-Visual action category
In this method you will select the camera by the name that you gave it when
the Audio-Visual item was configured. The namespace tag is selected from a
drop-down list of action types.
 OPC Server action category
Choose this method if the action that you wish to define is not available from the
Audio-Visual category, or you have not fully configured the DVR equipment from
the CCTV/AV Configuration window.
In this method you will select or browse for an OPC Server tag. Action type for OPC
Server is “OPCWrite.” For details of the namespace tags and their values, refer to
Appendix A: Namespace Definitions.
Both categories are accessible from the Action window.
