3 Description
3.1 Intended use
The DMS/DLS is used to record and evaluate video pictures. Up to
24 cameras can be connected. The DMS/DLS can be operated on
a network.
3.2 Performance features
The DMS/DLS is a high-resolution digital security recording system
with up to 24 camera inputs and is excellently suitable for complex
videosurveillancesystems (e.g. industry)atwhichseveral recording
systems are operated in a network, a central evaluation station
(Pviewstation)isprovided and aconnectionto externaldatasources
and/or higher-level management systems is desired.
Movement detection is integrated for all the camera inputs. The
SmartFinder – a system for intelligent searching for objects in a
picture – allows rapid and efficient analysis of the recorded data in
predefined picture areas.
ThedetachableBNC terminal boardandtheLCDdisplay for service
and status displays allow simple handling of the system.
The SEDOR technology guarantees additional security through
automatic camera tampering recognition (focus change, turning,
covering and spray painting).
Extensive monitoring mechanisms (dynamic fan controller, external
and internal temperature monitoring, module diagnostics, voltage
monitoring, etc.) ensure maximum operating stability and durability
of the recorder.
3.3 Interfaces
The integrated Ethernet interface allows full connection on existing
networks. The USB interface on the front offers a simple option for
connecting external media for backup.
See the "Installation and Configuration" document for a detailed
description of the interfaces.

3.8 Security devices in the system
3.8.1 Power failure protection
The power supply of your DMS/DLS is designed in such a way
that, with a built-in hard disk, a brief power failure of 200 ms is
bridged.
For comparison: Statistics show that 80 % of power failures are
shorter than 200 ms. The VdS (VdS Schadensverhütung GmbH, a
German loss-prevention company) requirement for bridging is 100
ms. In comparison with standard PC power supplies, the bridge
time of the DMS/DLS is greater by a factor of 14.
When several hard disks are installed, this bridge time is reduced.
Standby
Should the failure last longer, the power supply is switched off and
theDMS/DLSis switched toStandbymode. When themainsvoltage
is available again, the DMS/DLS automatically starts up again.
The duration of the failure does not play a role here.
A minor disadvantage of the long bridge duration is the fact that
you must wait at least 10 seconds after switching off the system
beforeyoucan switchiton again.Thereasonfor this isthedischarge
time of the bridging electrolytic capacitor. After normal switch-off
of the DMS/DLS with the power switch, the electrolytic capacitor is
discharged very slowly. As long as the electrolytic capacitor is not
discharged, the DMS/DLS remains in Standby mode and will not
start up.
For this reason, wait approx. 10 seconds after switching off before
switching on again.
Lightning protection
The power supply of your DMS/DLS can bear a peak voltage (surge
over power cable) of 3.5 kV during a lightning strike. This value is
also well above the standard PC power supply, whose limit value is
approx. 1 kV.

3.8.2 Forced ventilation
Your DMS/DLS is equipped with forced ventilation. The cool air is
drawn in at the front, and the heated inside air is blown out at the
back on the right side by the outlet fan.
The service life of the DMS/DLS depends on the ambient
temperatureofthe installationsite.Always ensure properventilation.
Ensure that the ventilation slits of the DMS/DLS are located at
least 4 inch from other objects or to a cabinet wall.
3.8.3 Temperature monitoring
The DMS/DLS has three temperature sensors for temperature
monitoring: The sensor for measuring the outside temperature is
foundatthe back on theconnectionplate.Another sensor measures
the internal temperature of the system, and a third one monitors
the CPU temperature.
