1.3.11.1. Understanding DVR storage structure

In order for the DVR to be able to record video data on a selected drive, the drives/partitions have to be structured in a certain way. After the initial allocation of the specific hard drive/partition, ELMO_DATA folder is created and the entire available space is filled with files that have the extensions *.dat and *.idx.

These files act as a medium for the digital video recording. The size of .dat files remains static regardless of whether or not they actually contain data ( 64MB). These files can be compared to video/audio tapes. They and take up the same amount of space whether they are empty, or when they contain data stored in the tree-structure of subfolders depending on the date of the recording: year, month,

For example, the subfolder F:\ELMO_DATA\2007\8\5 will contain video recordings from August 5, 2007

1.3.14. Intelli-Guard™ Setup

1.3.14.1. Overview

The Intelli-Guard™ feature detects motion within a defined area of the channel's view and can or emergency e-mail. Intelli-Guard™ requires precise settings in order to work effectively.

Intelli-Guard™ detects change in an image by analyzing its pixels. The same principle is used b feature. However, Intelli-Guard™ can yield a more precise response than Motion detection, as it can be adjusted to different kinds of motion. For example, an object's size in the Intelli-Guard module can be used to limit detection to larger objects only. Motion detection, on the other hand, recognizes and registers any type of motion.

Important

Intelli-Guard™ uses the e-mail address configured in the Email Setup. For this option to work, the Email Setup tab must be properly configured.

Important

This feature is not supported with IP cameras.

Intelli-Guard Current Channel Channel # 1 ... Interval Alarm: 30ms 400 ms Area No.1 Area Name: warehouse Send E-Mail Never Update Background Control 1 ... (Time) 0 H 0 M S ...

Background Refresh Delay: 1s 1800s Detection Sensitivity: 0.10 0.97 Detection Size: 10p 100p Duration of Sound: 1s 99s Set Active Time Detection Box Show Hide

1.3.14.2. Suggestions for using Intelli-Guard™

1. Before setting a defining area, experiment with the specific location to test the parameter s Intelli-Guard™ works as expected. Test both real alarm and false alarm situations. Adjust the eliminate the number of possible false alarms.
2. It may be difficult to achieve good results if the image video contrast is low. Adjust the image brightness and contrast in the Video Setup tab to achieve better results.
3. Intelli-Guard™ is best used in an environment with little color variation. For instance, if the monitored object is placed on a one-color background, any change (e.g. an intruder) will be noticeable, therefore easily

1.3.14.3. Creating Intelli-Guard™ detection area(s)

Each detection area has its own configuration and has to be saved individually. Up to 5 detection areas can be configured. Each detection area can have its unique set of settings, including Active Time, custom alarm file, control, etc. To switch between detection areas, select the chosen detection area by clicking on the desired green box. Selected detection area will be highlighted in red.

To create Intelli-Guard™ detection area, do the following:

1. Select the Channel # in the Current Channel frame. Click the Browse button to select the desired channel from the list, selected channel will be displayed in the live view window.

2. Configure Interval Alarm by adjusting the slider. In the example above, Interval Alarm is set to 400ms. Interval Alarm is configured on per channel and not per area basis. Interval Alarm setting determines between the motion occurrence and motion detection.

3. Create the detection area(s) in the live view window.

a. Place the mouse cursor at the start point over the live view window

b. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor to draw the rectangular detector

c. Let the mouse button go

d. Adjust or move the created detection area if necessary

1. Click Area Draw to set the entire channel screen for motion detection

2. Click Area Clear to reset all detection area on a selected channel

3. To delete a specific detection area, select the area by clicking on it, hold down the left area to remove it from the live view screen.

7.

Click the Save button to save the configured settings

1.3.14.4. Configuring Intelli-Guard™ detection area(s):

To configure selected Intelli-Guard™ detection area, do the following:

1. Select desired detection area in the live view window. Settings for the selected detection z the Area No. frame.

2. Enter a descriptive name for the selected detection area in the Area Name: field. In the example below, Area No. 1 is called "warehouse".

Area No.1 Area Name: warehouse Send E-Mail Never Update Background Control 1 ... [Time] 0 ... H 0 ... M 5 ... S Enable Sound D:\data\sound data\alarm.wav ... Background Refresh Delay: 1s 1800s Detection Sensitivity: 0.10 0.97 Detection Size: 10p 100p Duration of Sound: 1s 99s Set Active Time

1. Check Send E-Mail checkbox to have an emergency Email sent every time an alarm is triggered in this Area. The email address is taken from the Email Setup tab. Make sure to configure E-Mail setup

2. Check Control checkbox to activate selected control every time an alarm is triggered in this Area.

3. Click the Browse button to select the desired control from the list. Only controls activated in the Hardware Setup tab will be displayed.

4. Set the working [Time] for the selected control. After the control has been activated, it will remain on for the set period of time. In the example above, Control 1 will remain on for 5 seconds after the the Area No. 1.

5. Check Enable Sound checkbox to enable custom audio alarm for the selected area.

6. Click the Browse button to select the desired *.wav sound file from the hard drive.

7. Locate the *.wav sound file and click Open

Open a wav file Look in: sound data alarm.wav msg1.wav msg2.wav notify.wav File name: alarm.wav Files of type: Wave Files (*.WAV) Open Cancel

1. Set Duration of Sound by adjusting the slider (1 sec - 99 sec) to determine how long the *.wav file will play.

2. Set Background Refresh Delay (1s - 1800s). If Intelli-Guard™ detects no changes in the monitored area, it will update the area picture according to the selected schedule. This will decrease the cause caused by normal occurrences, such as changing illumination across the period of a day. The can be set between 1 second and 1800 seconds (30 minutes). To disable background refresh feature, check Never Update Background checkbox.

3. Configure Detection Sensitivity (10% - 97%). This parameter accounts for the change in image brightness. This percentage determines the acceptable level of brightness change. If the illumination is incre evenly, it is unlikely to cause an alarm. However, if the light switch is suddenly turned on in a dark room, the dramatic change in image brightness will set off the alarm.

4. Configure Detection Size (10p - 100p). This parameter determines the number of pixels representing 1 (one) "block". At least one block has to be detected by Intelli-Guard™ to trigger the alarm. The smaller the size of the block, the more "sensitive" Intelli-Guard™ will become and the smaller the size of the objects that will set off the alarm.

For instance, assume that a bird occupies 10 pixels in a resolution of 640x480. If the Detection Size is set to 10 pixels, the bird will represent 1 block; therefore the alarm will be triggered. However, if the Detection Size is set to 20 pixels, the bird will no longer represent 1 block and will be omitted by the Intelli-Guard™. A larger Detection Size, thus, detects larger objects (e.g. people) and omits smaller ones. This setting is used to decrease the nu configuring this setting, it is important to run trials to ensure that the Detection size is reacting to objects of a desired size. On the screen, the area of a detected change will be indicated by, green outline wi indicates how many detection blocks make up the area.

In the example above, motion was detected in an area, which is made up of 5 detection of detection blocks shown on the live view screen, select Show in Detection Box frame. To hide them, select Hide.

1. Click Set Active Time to configure active time for the selected area. Intelli-Guard will detect motion in the selected area ONLY during the Active Time. The following window will appear.

Active Time ✓ 0:00 - 1:00 (AM) ✓ 1:00 - 2:00 (AM) ✓ 2:00 - 3:00 (AM) ✓ 3:00 - 4:00 (AM) ✓ 4:00 - 5:00 (AM) ✓ 5:00 - 6:00 (AM) ✓ 6:00 - 7:00 (AM) ✓ 7:00 - 8:00 (AM) ✓ 8:00 - 9:00 (AM) ✓ 9:00 - 10:00 (AM) ✓ 10:00 - 11:00 (AM) ✓ 11:00 - 12:00 (AM) ✓ All ✓ 12:00 - 1:00 (PM) ✓ 1:00 - 2:00 (PM) ✓ 2:00 - 3:00 (PM) ✓ 3:00 - 4:00 (PM) ✓ 4:00 - 5:00 (PM) ✓ 5:00 - 6:00 (PM) ✓ 6:00 - 7:00 (PM) ✓ 7:00 - 8:00 (PM) ✓ 8:00 - 9:00 (PM) ✓ 9:00 - 10:00 (PM) ✓ 10:00 - 11:00 (PM) ✓ 11:00 - 12:00 (PM) ✓ All Ok Cancel

1. Check desired active time(s) for the selected area. In the example above, the Intelli-Guard motion detection in Area No. 1 is active 24 hours a day.

Caution

Active Time MUST be set, otherwise IntelliGuard™ will not work for the selected detection area.

Click the Save

to save the configured settings

16.

Caution

Ensure there is NO MOTION occurring in the defined area when clicking the Save button, otherwise the Intelli-Guard™ function will not work properly for that area. This is due to that fact that Intelli-Guard™ detects changes in the pixels that make up an image as opposed to detecting actual motion. When the Save button is clicked, Intelli-Guard™ registers the current image as the default image. All consequent changes to that area will be registered. If motion occurs in the defined area when the Save button is clicked, even the static environment will set off the alarm.
