Digital Sentry Network Speed Simulation

Pelco C3662M installation manual Digital Sentry Network Speed Simulation, Checking for Video Files

DIGITAL SENTRY NETWORK SPEED SIMULATION

This procedure provides the parameters for simulating DVR-to-client network connection speeds by changing configuration parameters within the DSAdmin utility. It is intended for demonstration purposes only and is not currently intended for use on functioning installed systems. The result of this simulation is realized when the DVR has only one connected client running on a separate computer.

To simulate various network speeds, complete the following steps:

1.In DSAdmin, open Configuration Parameters and select PacketDelayMS. The default setting is 0 (zero).

2.Select PacketSize. The default setting is 65000.

3.Change PacketDelayMS and PacketSize to the following settings:

Table E. Network Speed Simulation Settings

Simulated Connection Speed	PacketDelayMS Setting	PacketSize Setting

56K (Modem)	400	32

128K (ISDN,DSL)	200	32

256K (DSL, Cable)	100	32

512K (DSL, Cable)	50	32

768K (DSL, Cable)	33	32

1.5M (T-1, DSL, Cable)	16	32

Default	0	65000

4.Restart Digital Sentry services for changes to take effect, and then reconnect using the client computer.

5.You can view monitor network utilization in Windows Task Manager on the DVR or the client computer.

6.Reset to the default settings and restart Digital Sentry services when you are finished.

CHECKING FOR VIDEO FILES

The following instructions detail how to verify that video is being recorded:

1.Open My Computer on the VAU.

2.Open the first available data drive (usually D:).

3.Open the Video directory. If the Video directory does not exist on a drive, video files are not being saved to that drive. If so, check another data drive.

4.In the Video directory, select Details from the View menu.

5.Click the Modified column to sort the video files by the time and date they were captured. To sort the most recent files to the top of the list, click the Modified column again.

6.Refresh (press F5) to verify that the most recent files are being updated. The best way to do this is to check the file size; if file sizes increase when you refresh, the video files are being updated.

7.If the files in the first drive are not being updated, repeat these steps on the other data drives.

8.Close My Computer.

NOTE: You must be sure to close My Computer (Windows Explorer) after you check for video files. If My Computer is left running, you will encounter a significant performance hindrance, especially if the selected folder contains many files.

C3662M specifications

The Pelco C3662M is a state-of-the-art camera designed for robust surveillance and exceptional performance in various environments. Built for security applications, this camera features advanced imaging technology that ensures reliable monitoring and high-quality video capture.

One of the main features of the C3662M is its high-resolution image sensor. This sensor captures clear and crisp images, even in low-light conditions. With a resolution of 2 megapixels, the camera delivers detailed footage that can be crucial for identification purposes. The camera is capable of generating high-definition video streams, providing security operators with the clarity they need to assess any situation effectively.

The C3662M also incorporates advanced technology such as Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), which allows it to perform exceptionally well in scenes with contrasting lighting. This feature ensures that both the bright and dark areas of a scene are captured with excellent detail, making the camera particularly useful in environments like parking lots or entryways where lighting conditions can vary greatly.

Another critical characteristic of the C3662M is its low-light performance. Equipped with infrared (IR) capabilities, the camera can operate effectively in complete darkness, making it an ideal choice for 24/7 surveillance. The IR illumination allows the camera to capture clear images even when there is no visible light.

The C3662M is also designed for versatility in its deployment. It supports various mounting options and configurations, enabling users to install the camera in various locations, from indoor environments to outdoor settings. The rugged construction of the camera ensures it can withstand adverse weather conditions, making it suitable for use in challenging environments.

In terms of connectivity, the C3662M is compatible with various video management system solutions. It can easily integrate into existing security infrastructures, allowing for seamless operation and monitoring.

With its combination of high-resolution imaging, advanced WDR technology, and versatile installation options, the Pelco C3662M stands out as a premium choice for security applications. This camera addresses the needs of modern surveillance with reliability, ensuring that users can maintain peace of mind through effective monitoring capabilities.
