Alnet Systems Introduction to NetStation and V-DRS
Alnet Servers • Alnet NetStation • Open Platform Video Management Solution • NetStation is an Advanced System for video and sound recording from IP and Analog Cameras • The System is based on the highly reliable VDR-S application by Alnet Systems • The Alnet servers are Windows based • The system are fully supported supported locally (South Africa) and remotely via ADSL Alnet.Systems.Netstation.IP
Alnet Servers • Alnet System Features • VDR-S is the software application installed on each of the Alnet Servers • H.264 Compression is used. This is the replacement for MPEG4. H.264 is a standard for video compression, and is equivalent to MPEG-4 Part 10, or MPEG-4 AVC • User Friendly GUI • Camera configuration menu allows precise parameters settings for each of the cameras. Each camera can be set up individually. • Archives are available instantly and supply a user friendly time line to find incidents. These archives are available to anybody on the network that has been granted access to the material. • Advanced motion detection • Interactive electronic map (e-map) is an optional feature which shows floor plan and corresponding camera locations. • Email system alerts to managers: signal loss, camera disconnected, user login and logout, start-up and shutdown of system etc. • Alnet Client software for remote viewing via the LAN or ADSL (both Server and Client must be connected to same LAN or ADSL) Alnet.Systems.Netstation.IP

Server Recommendations • Provision should be made for an industrial UPS to run the entire server system. Power for the system should be provided through a dedicated "RED CIRCUIT" (NOT THROUGH EARTH LEAKAGE) with UPSs at each Power supply point. • Maximum distance from PoE switch to furthest camera: 100m. Power must be provided for the PoE Switches [220VAC]. • All Alnet servers should be housed in a lockable server cabinet with the following recommendations: • Depth 800mm • Equip with a fan • Rear Extension Closet for cable management • The cabinets should be in an air-conditioned environment to prevent the server equipment from overheating. • In order to comply with the required installation standards the cabinet must be positioned in an air conditioned room and on a raised platform. • The cabinet will need a clearance area of 1m around the perimeter to allow technicians unobstructed access.

Remote Viewing • Client Application (CMS) • CMS Professional is an advanced client application that works in conjunction with NetStation servers. The software provides the capability to view multiple sites remotely via an ADSL connection. • Client software is also able to record footage offering further redundancy. • Recorded footage can be accessed through the Archive module which has all of the same functionality as the Server • User limitations can be set on Client applications by the system administrator • Client software is distributed free of charge. • Mobile Client • Video client software for mobile devices • CMS mobile is supported by iPhone, android, blackberry and windows phone Alnet.Systems.Netstation.IP
VDR-S Introduction • Camera Configuration • Viewing Archives • PTZ Control • Exporting Video Footage • E-map Alnet.Systems.Netstation.IP
