•Priority Access – Priority levels assigned to keyboards and users allow higher priority users to capture and lock out cameras (pan, tilt, lens and auxiliary control) from lower priority users. The system allows up to eight priority levels.

•Recorder control – Operators can control recording devices (DVR, VCR or other current and future recording devices) through keyboard commands.

•Selectable Date/Time Display – The system’s date can be programmed to display in the following formats: MM/DD/YY, DD/MM/YY or YY/MM/DD. Time is displayed in a 24-hour format.

•System Salvos – A System Salvo is a group of local cameras programmed for simultaneous call- up to a contiguous group of local monitors. You can program up to 64 system salvos with a maximum of sixteen cameras in each Salvo.

•System Tours – A System Tour is a sequence of cameras programmed from EASY CPU for an individual monitor. System Tours cannot be altered by keyboard commands and are therefore more permanent in nature than Monitor Tours. You can create up to 64 System Tours, each with up to 64 cameras. You determine the dwell time, Preset camera scene and auxiliary action for each camera.

•Timed Events – An Event is a user-defined time slot programmed for automatic call up of System Tours and Alarm Contact Tables. You can program up to 35 local Event Timers with each set for call ups at a specific time of day, on any days of the week and week after week.

•User-Assigned Camera Numbers – You can assign user-defined pseudo camera numbers to any camera input. Pseudo numbers identify cameras by function or location, rather than by its input number on the switcher. For example, you could assign pseudo numbers 101 through 110 for cameras on the first floor of a multi-floor building, 201 through 210 for second floor cameras, 301 through 310 for third floor cameras, and so on.

•Video Loss Detection – When equipped with the optional Video Loss Detector module, the system can detect the presence or loss of a video signal for each local camera. You determine the sync or video signal level at which a loss of video is detected.

•Video Switcher Control – The MegaPower CPU controls the video switching of all local and remote cameras to all local monitors. Switching is performed in response to operator keyboard request or by automatic action via Tours, System Salvos, Timed Events, or Alarm Response.

•Satellite Site Support – Up to 30 individual MegaPower 3200 video-matrix CCTV systems can be linked into a satellite network. For more detailed information on satellite systems, go to

APPENDIX K: Satellite Configuration Overview on page 79.

Administrator Tasks

A system administrator is an individual assigned to manage the MegaPower 3200 video-matrix CCTV system. This person often participates in pre- installation planning and should be familiar with the system’s capabilities, equipment, camera inputs, monitors, satellite locations, and programming.

The administrator prepares the system for operators to use. This preparation includes the following:

•Configuring the system

•Creating operator IDs, scheduling operator shifts, and determining access levels

•Creating camera names and pseudo numbers

•Creating site numbers

•Creating alarm responses

•Maintaining a list of alarms and auxiliaries

•Setting Event times

•Creating Salvos

•Creating system Tours

Operator Tasks

Operators perform the day-to-day task of video surveillance using keyboards connected to the MegaPower CPU. They select and control cameras, create and run automated camera actions, acknowledge alarm activities, adjust monitors, and take appropriate action based on what is observed. Operators can also perform limited programming functions through their keyboards.

Refer to the MegaPower CPU Operator’s Guide, 8200-0421-02, for additional information.
