Latitude Network Video Management System 5.

D VTels award winning Latitude NVMS is an open standards,

networked based software platform that uses the latest advances
in technology to create the most user-friendly solution on the
market today.

One software system replaces the traditional and antiquated CCTV matrix
switch, multiplexer and DVR and gives you so much more.

The power of Latitude NVMS can be found in installations around the

world, ranging from enterprise level systems to smaller office solutions.
You can use all IP edge devices or use the cameras you already own. Its a
flexible, scalable system that is designed with the end user in mind.

Enterprise level video, audio and data management system

for recording and monitoring
Utilizes off-the-shelf computer workstations, servers, net-
working and storage equipment
Integrates with existing legacy CCTV equipment and third
party hardware and software solutions

System Functions
Live Video Monitoring
Cameras can be monitored using computer monitors displaying the Control-
Center client application and analog monitors connected to the network via
hardware decoders.
Multiple patterns of tile layouts can be used in ControlCenter.
Camera switching with client PC mouse or CCTV keyboard.
Support for multiple streams of high quality MPEG4 video at full-motion
frame rates (30 fps NTSC, 25 fps PAL).
Support for MJPEG video transcoded from MPEG4 by the Latitude
Transcoder
Camera sequences in MPEG4 or MJPEG.
DVTel SceneTracker Views can be monitored directly from ControlCenter.
Live Audio Monitoring
Audio inputs, such as microphones, can be monitored using computer speak-
ers on the ControlCenter client workstation. They can also be monitored
using audio outputs, such as speakers, connected to the network via audio
hardware decoders.
Multiple audio streams can be monitored concurrently on a PC (audio mix-
ing).
Audio inputs can be linked to video cameras for combined audio-video
monitoring.
Audio inputs can be monitored independently in ControlCenter using audio
layouts
Volume, mute and other audio controls are provided by the client application
Recording
Record MPEG4 NTSC or PAL video at frame rates ranging from 1 fps to
full motion.
Record audio inputs such as microphones
Support for multiple recording triggers: manual, schedule, alarm-based and
event-based. These recording reasons are saved as part of the clips metadata.
Dynamically change recording settings based on motion, alarm, or other
events.
Support for pre-alarm/post-alarm and pre-event/post-event recording.
Support for recording either the first or the second stream of a dual stream-
ing encoder.
Control the recording retention time how long clips remain archived before
being overwritten
Lock clips that should be kept indefinitely.
Recording profiles and schedules can be set individually per stream (audio or
video).
The use of containerized storage optimized for large video files reduces op-
erating system overhead and improves reliability by preventing disk frag-
mentation.
Fail over recording, allowing Archivers to dynamically take over other Ar-
chivers roles in cases of machine failure or communication loss
Redundant recording (only mirror mode, i.e. one-on-one/server per server).
Playback from Archive
All live viewing features in ControlCenter
Support for multiple concurrent video and audio instant replays.
Support for Synchronized playback of multiple concurrent video
and audio clips
Archives can be queried based on scenes; date and time; re-
cording reasons/triggers; and bookmarks and incidents.
Increase or decrease playback speed and use reverse playback to
examine clips from end to start. Support for frame by Frame
playback.
The ControlCenter timeline provides a visual indication of the
current frames time and position, the playback speed and meta-
data such as recording triggers and bookmarks.
The ControlCenter timeline provides video clip navigation capa-
bilities such as jump-to-time, change of speed and direction,
change of timeline resolution and more.
Video can be exported to AVI files using industry-standard co-
decs.
Video and Audio can be exported to DVTel proprietary file for-
mat, providing encryption protected SHA-1 digital signature, for
evidence management purposes.
Resiliency
Watch dog every server installation contains a watch dog proc-
ess to guarantee system services are always running
Redundant archiving
Fail Over Archiver
Fail Over Directory
Distributed architecture minimizing the risks of a single point
of failure
Virtual Matrix
Camera switching between viewing tiles and analog monitors.
Sequences
Salvos available with Layouts in ControlCenter
Guard Tours (layout tours)
PTZ control, including control of presets, patterns, auxiliaries,
PTZ lock.
CCTV keyboard support
Automation: configure actions execution upon events
Events and Actions
Latitude can receive and distribute events from multiple sources
Support for automatic execution of actions in response to events.
Intelligent event and action distribution using a rule-based service

procedure URL page.
User Management
ControlCenter can display footage of multiple alarms concurrently in differ-
ent tiles
Latitude NVMS 5.0 supports user management, authentication
and privileges
The user can snooze, forward and acknowledge alarms
Support for advanced password policies
Alarms can trigger recording of with pre-alarm and post-alarm periods, if
defined.
User privileges can be assigned individually
Alarm recording is marked with automatic bookmarks User privileges can be assigned per site, per camera and per virtu-
ally any resource or action in the system. The privileges are as-
Recorded alarm clips can be searched by recording reason or by bookmark signed using a hierarchy that is similar to the application trees in
text order to ease the amount of configuration required for each user.
Event Logging
The system supports recording of many types of events into an AuditTrail
database
Support for filtering of the event types to be logged
Recorded events include date, time and other relevant fields of information
Basic reporting tool provides means for creating multiple types of reports,
based on time criteria set by the user, and allows the user to view, print and
export the reports.
