Product Overview

A primary requirement for today's CCTV systems is Integration which is typically defined as being able to operate and control disparate products from a single user interface. The list of disparate products is often extensive but can be generally categorised as follows:

" VCR's
" Multiplexers
" Displays
" Domes
" DVR's
" OEM telemetry
" OEM alarm and concierge equipment
" OEM Matrices
" System clocks
" Video transmission equipment

Through integration new levels of system performance can be realised. Operators can work more efficiently. Instead of requiring a keyboard for each particular VCR or Dome for instance, operator functionality is incorporated into the ZoneVu system keyboard.

Automatic event management also becomes possible. Integration of alarms or time scheduling enable DVR's to be automatically instructed to record a particular camera which has itself been instructed to go to a preset by the system without any intervention from the operator.

The fundamental component in achieving 'system wide' integration is the serial integration module, the 'black box' that interfaces the various disparate products to the main control system.

The ZoneVu name has long been synonymous with the 'term' Integration, and now, even more so
than ever before with the arrival of the Series ZVS-MSI, the latest ZoneVu serial integration module to wear the 'badge'.

In the control room the ZVS-MSI-23 delivers multi-channel integration in the form of three RS232 Serial Integration Ports or SIP's as they are commonly referred to. Full Duplex1 communication is available along with an extensive library of OEM Embedded Firmware Drivers to operate and
control VCR's, DVR's and Multiplexers ETC.

The ZVS-MSI-48, is a half-duplex1 RS422 or RS485 multi-channel serial integration module with three independently configurable SIP's and an extensive library of OEM Embedded Firmware Drivers providing integration of Domes and OEM telemetry.

Where control of OEM equipment is required across a LAN/WAN, the ZVS-MSI-IP provides control of up to three networked DVR's over a 10/100 base Ethernet connection. As the unit includes both DHCP and DNS support, use can be made of an existing TCP/IP based data network with the bandwidth requirements of the ZVS-MSI-IP being minimal.

ZoneVu Series ZVS-MSI modules are fully scaleable products which can be configured on or off
line using a standard PC and Meyertech's Mpower ZoneVu configuration software allowing back up and restore of all the settings.

1 Requires a ZoneVu Site Controller to be present in the system for full-duplex and half duplex operation. If no Site Controller is present the ZVS-MSI operates in simplex mode.
