1 Introduction
This is a guide to the software configuration procedures for the Video systems in
the MM8000 Management Station and MK8000 OPC server.
For a complete guide to the configuration process, this manual should be used with
the DMS8000 Network, Fire and Intrusion Guide, and with the Installation, Configu-
ration and Commissioning manual (ICC) of the specific product.
Video devices software version
The exact software version to use in the video device to integrate into the
DMS8000 systems is indicated in the latest MM8000 or MK8000 Release Notes.
1.1 What has been changed in MP4.30 configuration tools
Here is the list of modifications included in MP4.30 for new functions and software
improvements.

2 Configuring CCTV network
2.1 Video integration
The DMS8000 systems MM8000 and MK8000 can support the connection to the
integrated CCTV devices1in two different ways:
Connectivity to the following video matrix subsystems:
in order to monitor their status and command the camera/monitor switching.
Integration of video network, made up of the following devices:
Manufact. Model Device type Notes
Siemens SIMATRIX Switching matrix
Siemens SISTORE AX Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
Siemens SISTORE CX Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
Siemens SISTORE MX/MX Pro Digital Video Recorder (DVR) 1
Siemens SISTORE MX NVS Network Video Software (NVS) 2
Siemens SISTORE SX Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
Siemens TELSCAN Video web server
Siemens IP Cameras CCIS 1337-LP, CFVA-IP, CVVA-IP 3
Notes:
1) SISTORE MX can be connected applying two data models, SDK 1.4 –valid
for MX version 2.5 to 2.81– and SDK 2.5, which should be used for newer ver-
sions that can support it.
2) NVS: Video recording software for IP cameras.
3) Connected via SISTORE MX / MX Pro / MX NVS or directly over LAN. In the
latter case, they are configured as single-line TELSCAN.
This integration allows providing advanced control capabilities as well as the
access to video images in MM8000 event treatment and navigation.
In the integration with the MK8000 OPC server, the states of video devices and
objects are provided in OPC format to the OPC clients.
A detailed configuration guide for the video devices is provided in this section.
2.2 Video Network Manager
The advanced video functionalities require a basic communication infrastructure
between MM8000/MK8000 and the CCTV units; this is actually a LAN network.
In Composer, a Video Network Manager and the associated drivers should be
added to the MM8000/MK8000 main station in order to support the video network
communication.
1Note that, beyond the list of CCTV units provided here, more video devices are supported in the add-on packages. Please refer to the
Product Release Notes for detailed information about supported devices.

The Fig 1 illustrates how to add the VNM to the configuration:
1. In the MM8000 physical configuration, select the main station name:
Supervisor System Settings MM8000 System Physical configuration
<Station name>
In the MK8000 project, the selection is quite similar:
MK8000 System MK8000 Physical configuration <Station name>
2. Click the button A to add the VNM (see Fig 1).
A new node is added. No further configuration is required for the VNM.
Fig 1 Adding the Video Network Manager (A)
Note: Adding the VNM results in the entire Composer project being expanded in
order to support the CCTV functions. Particularly, a new Camera Extensor tab is
added to all nodes. Depending on the size of the configuration tree, the operation
may take a few minutes.
The Composer plug-in #251701 is required.
Fig 2 New tab added by the VNM in the MM8000 project
Camera Extensor tab
In the Camera Extensor tab, you can see the camera associations and manually
add one or more cameras to the list associated with the selected node. Also, for
dome and PTZ cameras, you can set the default Preset Position (where the cam-
era is moved when it is first selected during event treatment).
Refer to the point customization section of the MM8000 Installation, Configuration
and Commissioning manual (ICC) for more information about the Camera Exten-
sor tab.

2.2.1 Video Drivers
The VNM can support the drivers required to handle the network communication
with:
TELSCAN video web server
SISTORE video digital recorders
Note: SIMATRIX units do not need any Video driver.
Depending on the specific configuration required, add one or both drivers to your
project. Proceed as follows:
1. Select the VNM node.
2. In the toolbar, click the icon corresponding to the driver you need (Fig 3):
A – Siemens TELSCAN
B – Siemens SISTORE
Fig 3 Video drivers
A Select this icon to add the TELSCAN driver
B Select this icon to add the SISTORE driver
In small system, the Video Driver is installed on the MM8000 server. Large sys-
tems may include FEP stations with additional Video Drivers that can distribute the
traffic load.
In general, each driver can support video several video connections (at least 40).
Please refer to the MM8000 datasheet and release notes for getting the most recent
recommendations and limits concerning the driver load for each video device.
2.3 CCTV components
If the VNM is not present, the Video Folder on the left hand side includes only
the following two icons:
SIMATRIX switching crossbar
Burle
If the VNM is present, the Video Folder on the left hand side includes also an
additional set of icons, corresponding to the following CCTV components:
Video Cameras
Video Monitors
TELSCAN WEB Server
IP Cameras supporting TELSCAN LAN protocol

Note: The SIMATRIX could also be included in the configuration as a stand-alone sub-
system, not included in the video network. This option is mainly available for backward
compatibility.
2.3.1 Video Connections
In Composer, the CCTV units are configured to reproduce the video connections in
the field. For example, as depicted in the Fig 5, a system may include cameras and
monitors, a SISTORE AX DVR and a SIMATRIX crossbar. The cameras provide
one or more video-out signals which are fed into the video-ins of SISTORE and
SIMATRIX that, in turn, can supply a number of video-outs to the monitors.

2.4.3 Cameras configuration tips
Check which cameras are reserved for motion detection and set them in Auto-
matic mode. The same applies to cameras reserved for system control only.
Check which cameras have pre-trigger settings and adjust the time in the SIS-
TORE tool.
Siemens IP cameras can be configured in two ways:
– Connected to SISTORE MX and configured with an input number greater
than 64.
– Networked but without video recording. In this case, they can be configured
as single-channel TELSCAN.

2.6 TELSCAN/IP Cameras configuration
The Siemens TELSCAN is a video web server capable of connecting up to 4 video
cameras, acquiring the video images, and transferring them over an IP network to
the networked hosts.
IP camera supporting the TELSCAN protocol can also be individually connected to
the DMS8000 systems over the LAN.

2.6.2 Configuration procedure
The following are the configuration procedures for a TELSCAN/IP Camera.
Adding the Video Network Manager
1. Open the Composer project.
2. If not already done, add the Video Network Manager (2.2 at p.5).
and the TELSCAN driver:
see 2.2.1 at p.7.

– IP address, which should match the value set in the TELSCAN (see
TELSCAN documentation).
Note: The button Set Default Value can be used to reset any change in the
IP address field and go back to the factory setting.
– Fault diagnostic fields: Ping frequency (default 10 sec) and Retry times
(default 3 times).
– User Name and Password as required to access the IP device (refer to the
device’s local configuration).
3. For MM8000 (this step is not required for MK8000), once the correct IP address
is set, press the button Send HTML files.
This results in a specialised HTML page being downloaded into the
TELSCAN via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) service. The page is required for the
interface to operate properly with the TELSCAN.
Failing in loading this page at least once causes defective displaying of the video
camera pages.

2.6.3 TELSCAN configuration tips
Check that TELSCAN firmware version is V2.0 or later.
Note that firmware update is possible with the support of the CCTV Hotline.
Do not forget to transfer to TELSCAN the customisation file from the setting
page in Composer (see p. 16).
Video applications recommended for TELSCAN:
– MozillaControl15 ActiveX (recommended for better performance and man-
datory for Siemens IP cameras).

Limitation
MM8000 and MK8000 do not support the TELSCAN connection from a SIMA-
TRIX video out: each camera has to be wired directly to the TELSCAN.
The IP camera directly connected to the DMS8000 are fixed (no PTZ) and must
be equipped with one of the following communication components: CCIS 1337-
LP (cameras), CFVA-IP or CVVA-IP (domes).
