The DMS8000 MP4.xx NICE/RIVER Digital Video Recorders Add-on module is a software component designed to integrate NICE and RIVER video systems into MM8000 management stations. This add-on module facilitates the installation, configuration, and operation of these video systems within the Siemens Building Technologies MM8000 environment, enhancing the overall security management capabilities.
The primary function of the DMS8000 MP4.xx add-on module is to enable seamless communication and control between MM8000 management stations and NICE/RIVER video security solutions, which include Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) and digital Decoders. This integration allows MM8000 to access video images, manage events, and navigate through video feeds, as well as monitor the states of various video devices.
The module supports different types of integration, allowing MM8000 to incorporate video images into its event treatment and navigation processes. It also provides status information for video devices, contributing to a comprehensive overview of the security system. The specific NICE/RIVER products and versions supported are detailed in the MM8000/MK8000 Release Notes, ensuring compatibility and up-to-date functionality.
A key component of this integration is the Video Network Manager (VNM), which must be added to the MM8000/MK8000 configuration in Composer. The VNM enables the necessary video network communication. Once the VNM is added, the Composer project is expanded to support CCTV functions, including the addition of a "Camera Extensor" tab to all nodes. This tab allows for the association of cameras and the manual addition of cameras to a selected node, as well as setting default preset positions for dome and PTZ cameras during event treatment.
Communication with NICE and RIVER video servers is handled by a specific driver, the NR Driver, which operates under the VNM node. This driver is crucial for establishing and maintaining the connection between the MM8000 system and the video infrastructure.
The DMS8000 MP4.xx add-on module offers several usage features that streamline the management of integrated video systems:
While the manual primarily focuses on installation and operation, certain aspects touch upon maintenance and system integrity:
In summary, the DMS8000 MP4.xx NICE/RIVER Digital Video Recorders Add-on module is a robust solution for integrating video surveillance into the MM8000 management platform, offering extensive configuration options, intuitive control features, and clear guidelines for secure and reliable operation.
