VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SOFTWARE MPS

To complement its line of megapixel cameras CBC (America) offers full-featured video surveillance software, MPS.

MPS supports full-motion real-time multi-camera viewing and policy-based archiving, remote access to live and archived video via Internet Explorer, post-event zooming from digital archives, simultaneous viewing of full-field of view and multiple zoomed images and a multitude of other features that take advantage of unique functionality and performance of CBC (America) cameras.

A typical system consists of a number of cameras connected over the local or wide area network to a server PC running CBC Video System, MPS. To achieve full motion archival rate the server may be placed locally to the cameras so that the interconnecting LAN has sufficient bandwidth and small roundtrip delay between cameras and the server PC.

A remote PC can connect to the server PC over a slower network connection, such as over Internet. Once connected, the remote PC can display live video stream and browse archives using Internet Explorer. Note that when used with CBC Video System the remote PC does not connect to cameras directly, but rather to the CBC Video System server.

Software Installation

To install CBC software:

1.Make sure your Windows XP/2K account has administrative privileges.

2.Run the setup.exe

Setup process installs software and places two shortcuts, “CBC Camera Installer” and “CBC Video System” on the desktop and in the Start menu.

Configure Firewall

As you start CBC applications, your PC may prompt you to permit access to the network. CBC Video System includes two applications that need access to the network:

CBCInstaller.exe: the camera finding and installation program

LocalMachine.exe: the viewing and archiving program

Both executables are located in the CBC installation folder. You should grant access to these two applications when the firewall prompts you. For example:

For Norton Internet Security choose “Permit Always” and click Ok, see Figure 1

For McAfee Personal Firewall click “Grant Access”, see Figure 2.
