1.1 Different VT100 models

You can read which particular VT100 model you are using in a label located on the bottom of the

equipment. It has the following format:

VT104 – Com

VT104-RAM – Com

VT104-LITE

-Com indicates the communication option installed (modem or internal adapter). It can be:

-Tfor PSTN connection. Optionally it might be –TA, to indicate that the model

includes bidirectional audio transmission. This audio option is only available

for PSTN connections.

-Dfor ISDN connection

-Nfor LAN connection

The VT104 model, with hard disc, is able to transmit and record.

The VT104-RAM model, without hard disc, is a transmitter, though it is also able to record a

small amount of sequences in its memory.

The VT104-LITE model is similar to the VT104-RAM-T (only PSTN communication) with some

simplifications that will be later described.

All the models permit the connection of 4 cameras.

2. Functional description

2.1 Basic working scenario

The VT100 is a digital video recording and transmission compact equipment that works through

telephone lines. It has been designed for the tele-surveillance of medium size remote installations

such as bank branches, small shops or sensitive areas of large buildings.

Fig. 1 shows the basic working scenario of a VT100, which consists of a central security station

with a Supervisor workstation communicated through communications network with a remote

installation in which there is a VT100.

Fig. 1 – Basic scenario of a VT100 equipment

The Supervisor workstation works with the Supervisor application, a reception software that is

common to all equipments of the VT range, and includes VideoSetup, the configuration tool of

these equipments. The remote installation is equipped with a VT100 equipment connected to

CCTV cameras. It has a connection to security sensors, such as PIR detectors, door contacts,

seismic detectors, etc. These devices are connected to an alarm panel that sends the alarm

conditions to the VT100 equipment by using the 8 alarm inputs the equipment is provided with.

Besides, the equipment is provided with 4 relay outputs that enable the switching on and off of

remote lights or any other similar devices, which is a practical and effective tool for tele-

surveillance of unattended sites.

The communication between the Supervisor and the equipment provides a bidirectional

transparent channel canal allowing the remote control of domes and other devices.

Note1 :

The VT104-LITE mode only has two alarm inputs and one relay output, and it does not have

bidirectional transparent channel.

Note 2:

The I/O devices can also be connected directly into the VT100 in case no alarm panel is present. But

keep in mind that the VT100 is not intended to supply the functionality of an alarm panel.

2.2 Functionality of the VT100 equipment

The VT100 equipment is a compact equipment of digital video recording on hard disk that

integrates the functions of a convectional video recorder, a multiplexer and a sequencer all

together in an unique cost-effective solution.

Communication

The equipment is able to transmit images to a Supervisor receiving station by using the

conventional telephone lines (PSTN or ISDN) or through TCP/IP with connection to a local

network LAN, being for each type of communication a specific model of VT100 equipment

equipped with the appropriate adapter or modem. The VT104-LITE only admits PSTN

connection through.

With PSTN lines the unit offers two features related to the caller id telephone line service: quick

answer, to identify incoming calls from a given Supervisor and answer immediately, and

callback, to start the communication with a given Supervisor upon receiving a call from it.

With TCP/IP connections, automatic management of dynamic IP address.

Image recording

The image recording of the equipment can take place simultaneously from up to four black and

white or color (PAL or NTSC) cameras, which do not need to be synchronized. The recording

conditions and their frame rate (images per second) can be individually specified for each camera

depending on calendars or timetables (time lapse) and/or depending on the activation of external

events.

Timetables allow for the specification of different recording frequencies depending on opening

hours of the public places or shops. External events are generated by devices connected to the

on/off digital alarm inputs of the equipment, such as presence detectors, door contacts, laser

barriers, etc.

Model VT104

The equipment stores in its hard disk the recorded images coming from each camera as

independent video sequences for the period of time programmed by the user, whose maximum is

366 days. The VT100 equipments have an automatic deleting tool that erases the sequences that

have exceeded the configured period. Also, in order to protect the images acquired during an

alarm situation from being deleted beyond their programmed deadline, the VT100 has an “Images

under custody” function with which the images are preserved by blocking the recording utility of

the equipment.

Models VT104-RAM / VT104-LITE

The VT104-RAM does not have hard disc, but it is able to record in memory 4 sequences up to

35 images each. The oldest sequences are automatically erased when new sequences are recorded.

Given the small number of sequences that can be stored, only event recording, but no time lapse,

is available.

Image Transmission

The advanced image compression system integrated in the VT100 enables the equipment to

transmit a great number of high quality images per second to the receiving station (up to 5

frames/s. depending on the available bandwidth and the recording configuration) It can achieve

this high performance because only the changes of the images with regard to the previous ones

are transmitted.

VT100 User Manual

The access to the images is immediate and the image transmission to the receiving station does

not interrupt the recording that is taking place.

The communication can be established from the video receiving station at operator request and,

once the connection has been established, the equipment is ready to transmit live images coming

from the cameras or the images previously stored in its hard disk.

The communication can also be established from the VT100 unit, when the callback option has

been activated or when an event that has been associated to an alarm sign is activated. Then the

equipment automatically sends to the receiver station the images related to that event for a Visual

Alarm Verification (VAV).

Remote Control

Communication between the Supervisor and the VT100 equipment offers a bidirectional

transparent channel allowing remote control of domes and other external devices, like anti-theft

systems (EAS), point-of-sale terminals, etc. The VT104-LITE model does not offer transparent

channel nor the possibility of remote control.

Audio

As an option, there is the VT100-TA (PSTN connection with Audio) that includes the possibility

to transmit bidirectional audio using DSVD (Digital Simultaneous Voice and Data).

For further information, please refer to the technical note “ Installation and use of the PSTN audio

of the VT100” available at www.videosafe.net.

Security (VT104 model)

The VT100 reports automatically the unexpected overflow of the hard disk. In this case, the

equipment continues working normally and as new sequences are being recorded in the hard disk,

the eldest sequences are deleted.

Autotest signal

Periodical test of the units’ status by calling a Supervisor post via any communication to report

any failures or anomalies.

Likewise, the fourth relay output can be configured to alert possible anomalies of the unit, i.e. in

order to be monitored from an alarm panel.

Configuration process

The configuration of the equipment and the control of the calling conditions, automatic activation

of the relay outputs, etc., can be carried out remotely with the configuration tool VideoSetup of a

Supervisor receiving station.
