Updates files are hosted in a repository on the victor Application Server machine and can be downloaded by connected clients and pushed to supported recorders. Tyco Update Utility During install, the Tyco Update Utility is installed alongside victor client. This component communicates with an update repository which is hosted on the victor Application Server providing a means to update Tyco software. The update application lists all available updates that can be installed on the user's system along with the location of the machine hosting the update repository. Unless disabled in Windows, Tyco Update Utility will launch on startup. Tyco Update Utility can be manually launched by navigating to C:1Program Files (x86)1TycolUpdateClient' and launching TycoUpdateUl.exe. Once launched /141 will display in the system tray. Double click to relaunch the Tyco Update Utility. Note: In order to download and install updates using the Tyco Update Utility, you must have Windows administrator rights. victor victor client checks for available updates: • Daily (automatically) if run for more than 24 hours without a restart • Automatically on client startup • Automatically when the client connects to a new victor Application Server You can also check manually from the 'About' page Note: Update checks can only be carried out if the current victor user has the 'Administrator role in victor. The ability to check for updates can be added to roles other than 'Administrator by using the Type Exception Workstation • Update victor client. Only victor client users who have the Administrator or Power User role are allowed to perform updates to the victor client. If the current victor user does not have one of these roles then the update options will be disabled. Windows administrator rights are required to install victor unified client updates. Note: It is good practice to acknowledge and clear all active Events before upgrading. American Dynamics 6 EFTA01223815 Updating victor Client Automatic Updates If an update is available, launching victor unified client, the client being open for 24 hours or connecting to a new victor Application Server will display a dialog stating: -The victor Application Server you are connected to has an update available. Installing this update will cause victor client to be closed. Would you like to automatically download and install this update?" Follow the procedure below to install the update. To skip the update, select Remind Me Later. Procedure 1 Install Automatic Update Step Action 1 Select Install. The victor unified client license agreement dialog opens 2 Read the license carefully and select Accept or Decline as applicable 3 If Accept is selected, victor client will close and a dialog will display showing progress of downloading and installing updates. The update can be canceled by selecting Cancel during the download of update files. Note: During the upgrade, if the Tyco Update application is running, the user is informed of progress via a system tray status display. 4 Once update is complete, select OK - End - Manual Updates Users with appropriate permissions can manually check for and install updates from within victor unified client. Procedure 2 Install Manual Update Step Action 1 Select then About. The about tab opens. 2 Select Check for Updates. 3 If no update is available, dialog will display 'Software is up to date".

American Dynamics 7 EFTA01223816 2. During the upgrade, if the Tyco Update application is running, the user is informed of progress via a system tray status display. 7 Once update is complete, select OK. - End - VideoEdge NVR Updates can be applied to VideoEdge NVRs from the client via the recorders context menu. Before performing the update, the NVR checks the current version installed against the version to be installed. If it is not a higher version, an alert is posted to the client, informing it that the update failed and the reason for failure. If security is enabled on the NVR, the user is prompted for credentials before the update is applied. After successful update and restart of NVR services, an alert is sent to the victor client indicating to it that the installation was a success. A Caution 1. When a software update is applied either via a push update or applied manually using the Administration Interface, NVR services will restart. Temporary NVR service outage should therefore be expected when an update is applied. 2. It is recommended that you should schedule when NVR upgrades are applied and expect a loss of video when services restart. When upgrading NVRs which are being monitored by a secondary (Failover) NVR you need to stop Server Monitoring to prevent the secondary NVR taking over when the upgraded primary NVR's services stop. Note: VideoEdge NVR updates can only be carried out if the current user has 'Edit' permissions on the applicable VideoEdge NVR recorder. Update VideoEdge NVR VideoEdge NVR software update bundles can be hosted on the site server update repository and pushed down to individual recorders via the client GUI.

Search results can be reviewed, vaulted, saved as clips, stored on the client workstation or exported to remote storage. A Caution Ensure time is synchronized between client machines and network recorders. Recorders which are out of time synchronization with client machines cause incorrect video retrieval. Supported Search Types All searches are performed using the Video Search and Retrieval Wizard. The wizard comprises of a maximum of 3 screens, through which the user defines search criteria. Four main search types are supported: Basic Search Basic search covers the following options in the Type of Search dropdown menu: • Date and Time • Searches specific time ranges using only time related parameters. • Thumbnail Search -A date and time search which displays results as thumbnail images. All basic searches allow searching by date and time and enable the user to define the search period (Start and End Date/Time) and streams to retrieve (Video or Video and Audio). Thumbnail Search Thumbnail Searches display results in the form of 16 images representative of the selected time range. Selecting '+' on a single image opens a new set of thumbnails at an increased granularity with the time range determined by the timestamp of the thumbnails adjacent to the original '+' selected. Thumbnail search is supported on VideoEdge NVR 4.4+, Intellex and HDVR/exacqVision recorders only. American Dynamics 59 EFTA01223868 Motion Detection Search Motion detection search allows users to search for motion in a specific cameras field of view. This allows the user to skip directly to areas that may be of interest, rather than having to search through hours of video in order to search for a particular event. Note: 1. Motion detection based searches and motion based alarms are handled differently within the client. Motion detection based searches are independent of motion alarm regions set up on a recorder. 2. Motion detection based searches performed on VideoEdge NVR's do not search actual video footage, but rather metadata generated by the NVR. Search results are therefore dependent on the sensitivity level settings when the video was processed. If no motion metadata is generated for a particular time period, no results will be returned when searching on that time period. 3. Motion detection searches performed on the client from Intellex units search actual video footage so results depend on sensitivity settings set in the client. 4. Motion detection searches are not available on HDVR/exacqVision or ADTVR units. 5. Edge based motion detection searches can be executed on supported American Dynamics Cameras. Video Intelligence Search Video Intelligence Search is supported on VideoEdge NVR 4.2+ recorders. This gives users the ability to detect, track and analyze moving objects using a variety of criteria. The Video Intelligence engine is licensable on a per-channel basis. Supported Video Intelligence searches are: • Object Detection • Direction • Linger • Enter • Exit • Abandoned/Removed • Dwell • Queue Length • Crowd Formation Edge Based Face Detection VideoEdge NVR recorders support edge based analytics, allowing Face Detection alarms and searches on supported American Dynamics Cameras. Using edge based analytics reduces the impact on the NVR's CPU resources. Server Based Face Detection / Face Recognition VideoEdge NVR 4.7+ recorders supports server based facial recognition and detection, allowing searches and alarms based on this analytic type when an appropriate license is applied. To execute a face recognition search users must be enrolled in the NVR's Face Enrollment database. American Dynamics so EFTA01223869 Text Stream Search victor text stream search provides a means of searching text from configured NVRs devices (V4.5+). Two types of text stream searches are supported: • Date and Time: Used to return all text values within a defined time period. • Advanced: Used to search for specific text values within defined parameters and filters set on the VideoEdge NVR and victor.

Text stream rules Text Stream Rules allow you to fine tune a Text Stream search. User defined rules may be used to filter search results and you can add multiple rules or use no rules for searches. Rules which have been defined on VideoEdge recorders can be selected via victors search and retrieve wizard to enable the rules to be applied in victor searches, alternatively you can define and apply text stream rules in victor client as part of the victor search process. Rule Groups are used to define a set of rules such that all would have to be true to trigger an alarm. Rules are either 'OR' or 'AND'. So when you perform a text stream search, you can identify 'AND' or 'OR'. If you selected 'AND', this implies 'RuleGroup', such that all rules would need to be satisfied for the search result to return true. Text stream rules can also be used to configure alarms.

The feature enables a 'RevieW option on the context menu of associated objects. Selecting Review opens a guard surveillance view displaying the source object and up to 5 associated objects. After associations are made, the Review feature is exposed in 3 areas of the client; Reports, Event Viewer and Activity List. Note: 1. Objects can reference other objects of the same type but cannot reference themselves. 2. Certain supported objects E.G., doors, which do not display video, will not display the Guard surveillance view. In these cases, a Map view will open displaying the object's location (if configured on Maps). 3. If a source object has no associations, selecting Review will return a view of the type. 4. If the source object is a non-video object and has no associations, the review feature will not be available for any related events or alerts. 5. For the feature to function properly, it is recommended all associated objects are synchronized to a common NTP server. Typical Use Cases 1 Motion Alarm has been triggered and the associated Event Acknowledged. The user still needs to view video associated with the Alarm. Without Object Association, reporting capabilities only show you the time of the alarm. The user must open a surveillance window, drag in the camera that caused the alarm and navigate back to the time of the alarm using the report data. With Object Association, the user simply selects the Review option from the report item to perform all the above functionality automatically. 2 Building on Use Case 1, if there are more cameras associated with the alarm. Without Object Association the user must find them and drag each camera individually into a surveillance window and navigate to the time of the alarm. With Object Association, the Review feature launches investigator mode and displays all associated camera views. 3 Similar to 1 and 2 but related to Non Video devices E.G., Doors. If a door is forced and an event activated, the feature can be used to view video from associated cameras in the door's vicinity. American Dynamics 105 EFTA01223914 Review Feature The Review option is exposed in 3 areas of the client: • Reports: When associations are configured, the source can be accessed from report items by selecting Review in the item's context menu. • Event Viewer: When associations are configured, behavior is similar to that of Reports but the source is the cause of the event. The source can be accessed by selecting Review in the context menu of the Event Viewer item. • Activity List: When associations are configured, the source of the activity list items can be accessed by selecting Review from the context menu of Activity list items.

Each operator is assigned a role which describes their capabilities and privileges. Operators are authenticated in one of two ways: • Windows Authentication - requires an assigned Windows principal (domain/workstation name and usemame) which relates to a Windows OS account. • Basic Authentication -The victor Application Server manages users accounts without the need for an assigned Windows principal or Windows OS account. Two basic authenticated operators, victor guard and victor administrator are preconfigured in the system. • victor guard - usemame: GUARD, password: guard, role: Guard. • victor administrator - usemame: ADMIN, password: admin, role: Administrator. Create a New Operator New operators can be added to the system. Note: In addition to the two basic authenticated accounts, a Windows authenticated installer account is also created. This is the Windows principal account which uses the credentials of the logged in user who performed the initial install. Procedure 101 Create a New Operator (Windows Authentication) When using Windows to authenticate operator accounts, Windows credentials are checked when the operator logs in to the client. As such, operators will only be able to log in if they have been assigned a user account on both the client and victor Application Server machines. If a domain controller is not being used, these accounts must be created manually and be logged into to activate them. Note: Windows Authentication is not available when using victor Express. It is recommended that the role level assigned to the operator account, mirrors somewhat the role level assigned to the Windows user account. I\ Caution Operators created in victor standalone systems with 'non administrator' roles may lack the privileges required to make similar changes in unified systems. Step Action 1 Select Operator from the Build tab. 2 Select New from the dropdown menu. 3 Enter a name for the Operator in the Name textbox. American Dynamics 111 EFTA01223920 4 Enter a description in the Description textbox. 5 The Enabled checkbox is selected by default, to deactivate the operator profile, deselect the checkbox. 6 Enter Username. Note: Usemame should correspond to a Windows usemame and should not be the same as the name of the PC. 7 Enter the operator's Email address. 8 Select Enable Windows Authentication. 9 Enter Domain/victor Application Server. 10 Select a Role from the Roles section. Note: Multiple roles can be assigned to an Operator. Where conflicts occur within the role the lesser exception will always take precedent. For example, Role One allows access to Recorder X however Role Two denies access to Recorder X. If Role One and Role Two are assigned to the same operator access to Recorder X will be denied as per Role Two. 11 Expand the Layouts section. a Select to display the Object Selector. b Select a Layout then select OK. 12 Select Save. - End - Procedure 102 Create a New Operator (Basic Authentication) When using basic authentication to authenticate operator accounts, victor Application Server manages user accounts without the need for corresponding Windows user accounts. Step Action 1 Select Operator from the Build tab. 2 Select New from the dropdown menu. 3 Enter a name for the Operator in the Name textbox. 4 Enter a description in the Description textbox. 5 The Enabled checkbox is selected by default, to deactivate the operator profile, deselect the checkbox. 6 Select Basic Authentication. 7 Enter Username. 8 Enter Password. 9 Select a Role from the Roles section.

In the victor system it provides a means of managing victor users through Windows (Active Directory) by linking Windows user profiles to the victor system automatically. This association means changes made to users and user groups in windows are reflected automatically in victor operator profiles and roles. LDAP Integration victor's LDAP integration is capable of connecting to different LDAP servers (including Active Directory). The integration allows victor to simultaneously communicate with different and multiple domains and subdomains inside corporate networks for importing LDAP users and groups. The integration can import LDAP groups and users from different paths at various hierarchy levels in the directory structure and also from individual organizational units created in a LDAP server. victor LDAP Server Configuration The victor LDAP interface is used to manage operator/user roles and profiles. It is accessible from the Build tab within the victor GUI. The interface enables system administrators to configure LDAP servers using a standard victor editor. All LDAP configurations are listed in the object's dynamic view- accessed from the LDAP>Show All option in the victor Build tab. From this list you can use the LDAP configurations context menu to Edit, Delete or Save As: Opens LDAP Server Configuration and loads the Edit corresponding configuration details for editing. Delete Deletes the LDAP Server configuration entry Creates a copy of the existing LDAP Server con- Save As figuration entry with a '_Copy' suffix victor Operator/Role management LDAP Users are imported into victor as Operators and LDAP Groups are imported as roles, therefore: The User/Group relationship existing in LDAP equates to the Operator/Role relationship in victor. victor role/LDAP user relationships: Group added/edited/removed Role added/edited/removed Operator associated/disassociated from victor User added/removed from LDAP group role Operator name change in victor (this is one way, Usemame update in LDAP name changes for operator profiles controlled by LDAP cannot be changed in victor) American Dynamics 115 EFTA01223924 User assigned to multiple groups Operator assigned multiple roles Roles In victors dynamic views of roles, imported LDAP groups are displayed alongside existing corresponding victor roles and can be identified by the description text 'Imported role'.

Effective role management enables complete control over the resources and features users can access. Be careful of the roles you give users on your system. If you add a user as an administrator, you are granting them full system permissions. Note: Before deleting roles, ensure they are not assigned to operators Role Types Canned Roles There are five predefined (canned) roles, ready for assignment to users. Each of these roles, apart from Administrator can be edited to refine them further. Canned roles are as follows (Descending permission level): • Administrator • Power User • Investigator • Basic Operator • Guard • Viewer Custom Roles As well as using canned roles, you can create custom roles. This can be done using the 'Save As' feature which allows a current role to be used as a template to build a new role, or you can build a completely new role manually. Each new role created is available for selection when creating or editing operator profiles. Type/Object Exceptions The level of permissions assigned to a role is controlled by exceptions. It is important to understand the difference between Type and Object Type exceptions. • Type relates to general groups of objects , e.g. Recorders, Events. • Object Exceptions relate to specific objects, e.g.Recorder 'X' or Event T. American Dynamics 119 EFTA01223928 When a custom role is initially created, full administrative access is granted by default, the role can then be edited to define type and object exceptions as required. Create Roles If a canned role does not meet your requirements, you can create new customized roles.

Creating and implementing system events allows you to detect, monitor and record specific activity on the system. A typical use may be to use a map action to alert a user of motion detection on a camera covering a sensitive area. In this scenario, an event could be configured to: • Alert the user by visually triggering a Video Action associated with the event displaying video from other cameras in the area • Trigger a map action showing the location of the of the camera in alarm state • Create a high priority entry in the Journal requiring operator acknowledgment Configuration within victor Typically an event's triggers and responses rely on the creation of object dependencies within the system which are configured using two editors: • "Event/Action Pairing Editor" • "Events Setup" Event Processing From a system perspective, event processing can be considered in three stages: • Event Source: Emit events into the processing system (e.g., a motion detection alert sent from a camera) • Event Processing: Capture, routing and any further processing of emitted events — victor can be configured to process events in various ways e.g., according to priority, date/time or source. • Event Result: The system reaction to the event. In the case of victor this could be a video action configured to display a salvo American Dynamics 123 EFTA01223932 Conceptual workflow/victor workflow Event source Event Processor [vent Result External Sensors Perform operations on events eo S S. r2. 0 0 C.3 Event triggered on Event data processed external device, on server.

Event data written to available to users eictoriournal American Dynamics 124 EFTA01223933 Event Types Within the victor environment, there are two main event types: Sensor based and Health based. Sensor Based Events These events, when triggered typically display predefined Event Actions. These are system actions, tied to events which are set to display when events are triggered. Examples of Event Actions can be video Salvos or Map actions. The following general steps are involved in configuring a Sensor based event: 1 Add a trigger to the sensor device (e.g., Set motion detection on a camera) 2 Create the Event Action to be executed when the Event triggers 3 Create the Event 4 Associate the Event Action with the Event 5 Associate the Event with the Trigger Health Based Events System Health events do not typically involve video actions as their primary use is not security based. Instead they are used to warn users of potential issues with system failure. A typical use may be to inform a user that an alarm has been received warning of CPU overheating. Acknowledge and Clear Options Acknowledge and Clear options can be configured for individual events. Configuring these settings determines whether an event requires extra user information to be entered in order to acknowledge or clear the event. Options are: • Require a Log Message to be entered when acknowledged • Require a Log Message to be entered when Cleared • Usemame and password required to acknowledge • Usemame an password required to clear Note: These credentials can be from any user who has permission to acknowledge and clear the event. Event Templates A number of Event Templates are predefined within victor, these can be used as a basis for configuring events of the type they relate to. American Dynamics 125 EFTA01223934 Log Messages Log messages are typically used to clear and acknowledge events but can be entered manually written to the joumal at any time. Log messages can also be selected from a Predefined Message Log which can contain up to 3000 user defined messages. Event Priority Window The Event Priority Window is a surveillance window which is used to view camera Call Up Actions associated with Events. The surrounding red border distinguishes the Event Priority Window from standard surveillance views. It is a 2X2 configuration. Call up video is displayed according to the priority of the event it is associated with. Highest priority displays in the top left pane of the window, descending in priority to Top right, Bottom left and Bottom right. New events having a higher priority than those already displayed on will 'Bump' the lower priority windows. This will lead to lowest priorities dropping off when more than four streams attempt to display. Video streams cannot be viewed in the Event Priority window unless triggered by an event. The window must be open when the event triggers in order to view the camera call up; the event does not cause the window to open. Create Event Actions (Video) Event actions are the actions triggered by victor in response to specific events. These can be video actions or Map actions. Video actions include: Preset, Clip Retrieval, Salvos, Call ups, External Camera Alarms and Send to Matrix Monitor. Clip Retrieval A video action can be configured resulting in the creation of a clip to be scheduled for download. The clip duration, saving location and expiry can all be defined by the user. When a clip retrieval action is activated, it will queue a video clip for download. Queued video downloads appear in the Clips list as download tasks. To use the Clip Retrieval action, the Media Management Service must be running . Procedure 111 Create Event Actions (Video) tep Action 1 Select Video Actions from the Build tab. 2 Select Video Action type from the dropdown menu. 3 Select New. Video Action editor opens. 4 Enter a Name and Description for the video action as required. 5 Select objects as required from the left pane and drag to the right. Note: If creating a Salvo video action, choose from Select from Existing or Create New Salvo. American Dynamics 126 EFTA01223935 6 Click Event Video action is created. - End - Procedure 112 Create a Clip Retrieval Action Note: 1.

Note: 1. Client to Client communication is a licensable feature. 2. Because victor Express is limited to a single client connection, Client to Client communication is not available. In order to send components to a receiving client, the component must be open on the sending client, therefore the role of the sender must allow viewing of the layout component. Similarly the receiver's role must allow viewing of the component. Typically, components are sent between workstations using the 'Send To' feature of an object's context menu. Configure Client to Client Communication (Workstations) Client settings for client to client communication are configured in the workstation editor. These settings determine how a workstation behaves when a client to client request is sent/received. There are four main settings: Setting Description This controls whether components sent from a workstation remain open on the sender's Local Removal After Sending workstation. Default is On This controls whether a workstation automatically accepts or rejects requests. When selected, receiving workstations will not automatically accept components. Instead, the sender is informed that the receiving workstation is configured to reject and asked whether to force the component. If the component is forced, the receiver is asked Turn Off Client to Client Communication whether to accept the request and select Yes or No. The Sending workstation is informed that the receivers client to client communication is turned off in 2 ways: • A Reject Dialog displays when attempting to send. • Receiver's Name highlights Red. Default is Off This controls whether a received component Maximize on Primary Monitor displays Full Screen. Default is On American Dynamics 195 EFTA01224004 When Using the Send To feature, users need to navigate to displays via their attached workstations. Configuring a workstation as an Agent means the Agent displays attached to the workstation appear as local displays in relation to senders workstations so the workstation level is avoided. Default is Off Procedure 173 Configure Client to Client Communication tep Action 1 Select Devices from the Home tab. Device List displays. 2 Select next to Workstations in the Device List.

When selected, this option rejects all client to client requests automatically. The sender is informed that the receiver is configured to reject the request and asked whether to force it. In this case the receiver is asked whether to accept the request and is presented with a Yes/No dialog. The sending workstation is informed if a receiving workstation is in Reject mode in two ways: • A 'Rejecting' dialog displays next to the display when attempting to send • The receivers display name highlights red, indicating client to client communication is turned of for that display Procedure 174 Configure display client to client settings tep Action 1 Select I next to Workstations in the Device List.

Each matrix can specify one or more workstations to which they are serially connected. Once added to the system, the matrices will be available for inclusion in virtual matrix profiles so they can be controlled from a particular workstation via an attached keyboard. Once the matrix has been added to the system, it will be displayed along with other system devices in the Device List. A typical analog matrix configuration will have video feeds to the matrix coupled to a recorder which may already be part of the victor system. With this setup the virtual matrix allocates a camera Id to both the recorder camera and the analog matrix input. Camera mapping is required to allow playback from keyboard "Orange Buttons"; when the user selects a camera associated with the analog matrix this will allow the virtual matrix to identify its associated recorder if one is available and take the appropriate action to retrieve the clip and playback the video or signal an invalid operation. Analog Matrix Editor Using the Analog Matrix editor you can configure basic matrix properties via the General and Analog Matrix Setup sections. The Workstation Connections section is used to configure the COM Port, Baud Rate and Playback Monitor specific settings for each workstation matrix connection. Remote workstations can be dragged and dropped here from the Device List. The Inputs and Analog Matrix Playback Configuration section of the editor is used to configure camera mappings. Camera mappings are required to enable playback from keyboard 'Orange Buttons'. To configure the camera mappings, video streams which are already present on the victor system via a recorder are dragged from the device list onto the Analog Matrix editor "Camera Mapping" list. To manipulate the sequence of the list, delete, move up and move down functionality is available via a toolbar and context menu. Satellite Sites - The MP3200 allows a satellite site configuration permitting a site to access the resources of one or more remote sites. This feature is not available on MP48 nor MP48+ matrices. Before adding an analog matrix it should be correctly configured via its supporting configuration application (EasyCPU for MP3200 and Easy 48 for MP48). Note: 1. Any video stream and monitor resources configured during the victor setup are always considered available to the associated victor workstation. 2. Once an Analog Matrix has been added to victor, the victor workstation will always expect it to be available, no attempt will be made to poll the device for status. American Dynamics 204 EFTA01224013 Sites Any cameras not associated with an Analog Matrix are assigned to Site "0". The following keyboards do not allow for the calling of site '0': • ADCC200 • ADCC300 • ADCC1100 For these models, you can use the keyboard's context menu Return to Home option to switch to site0.

End - American Dynamics 236 EFTA01224045 Point of Sale Introduction Point-of-Sale (POS) systems are used to facilitate and record financial transactions between businesses and customers. Most commonly they are used in retail environments for product sales. victor incorporates a comprehensive set of POS integration features which are available as a licensed add-on. Using the victor unified client you can import two types of POS data: raw POS transactions from your POS system, and POS exception reports produced by your POS exception reporting system. Once POS data is imported into victor, a range of investigation tools are available. You can access video of each transaction, and use victor's video investigation tools, such as Investigator Mode and Clip Export to gather video evidence. In addition victor provides advanced POS searching capabilities which can use to find specific transactions based on predefined POS rules. When POS is installed, a new database called ACVSPOS is created on your system. This database will store all POS data. Configuration Before using victor's POS features, several configuration steps should be followed: The most important aspect of this configuration is to identify which cameras record video of which POS terminals (or cash registers). This is achieved creating POS terminal objects in victor, and associating those with camera objects. The steps involved are: 1 Create a POS Store object 2 Create POS Terminal objects 3 Associate POS Terminals with relevant cameras After these general steps are complete, victor is ready to import POS data. When POS data is imported, it is automatically synchronized with video based on Time (See POS Time Offset) and Terminal ID with camera associations. This means operators are not required to know or remember which cameras cover which terminals and are not required to manually enter dates/times to view POS transactions or exceptions. Camera Region Editor The Camera Region Editor provides a means to visually identify areas within a camera view which are represented by Customers, Merchandise, Employees and Terminals. While not specifically a POS feature, making associations between cameras with defined regions and edge devices allows users to view pertinent regions of camera views when triggers are initiated from the associated items. This can be particularly useful in a retail environment. American Dynamics 237 EFTA01224046 UnifiedPOS Data Import Raw POS transactions are imported into victor in standard UnifiedPOS XML format. The UnifiedPOS XML format was developed by the National Retail Federation (NRF)Association for Retail Technology Standards (ARTS). The format is a public standard for exchange of POS data in an XML form. See your POS system documentation or contact your POS system vendor to determine how you can export UnifiedPOS data for use with victor. A Caution Before importing POS data into victor you should remove or securely obscure any sensitive credit card information. victor has not been certified for PCI DSS compliance. This chapter details how to: • Create a POS Store • Create POS Terminals • Associate Terminals with Cameras • Define Camera Regions • Import POS Transactions • Search POS transactions • View POS Transactions • Import POS Exception Reports • View POS Exception Reports Create a POS Store You can create POS store objects within victor client. These objects can be associated with multiple terminal objects. Procedure 214 Create a POS Store Step Action 1 Select Store from the Setup tab. 2 Select New from the dropdown. 3 Enter a Name for the POS Store in the Name textbox. 4 Enter a Description for the POS Store in the Description textbox. 5 Enter the RetailStorelD.

This action opens a transaction surveillance window displaying the cameras associated with that terminal. Procedure 220 POS Terminal View Step Action 1 Right click the required terminal on the device list 2 Select View. Transaction Viewer displays. 3 Use playback controls to navigate to the required time interval. Note: You can use the play controls to navigate forwards and backwards through the video. While paused, you can drag in additional cameras or terminals that will be time synchronized with the others. As transactions occur on one of the terminals in the POS Transaction Viewer, the text of that transaction will be displayed in the text pane to the right of the video. The text will remain in this pane until it is replaced by another transaction. If configured, overlays are displayed in this view displaying camera regions defined for merchandise, Customer present, Employee or Terminal. Refer to Camera Region Editor. - End - POS Exceptions Reports POS Exception Reports in addition to raw POS transactions, victor can also import POS Exception Reports. A POS Exception Report typically lists transactions deemed to be exceptional in some way. Trying to align exception data with video data manually can be very time consuming and error prone. The victor POS exception report feature automates much of this process. Assuming the POS terminals are already configured (If not refer to Create POS Terminal Objects and Associate POS Terminals with Cameras). You can then import POS exception reports and align video data with the transactions. POS Exception Reports come in many different formats from different vendors and are often customized by company rules and procedures. Therefore, victor has a flexible template-based system that can understand many different report types and formats. American Dynamics 243 EFTA01224052 POS Exception Report Requirements At a minimum, POS exception reports must: • Be in Row-Column Format • Be either .csv or .xls file format • Contain columns for Date, Time and POS Terminal ID of the transaction • List exceptional transactions Any other information the report may contain will be imported and displayed but is not required for the import. Three types of rows are supported: • Key row (one) - The first row of the report.This row names the columns in the report • Terminal rows (one or more). Contain the transaction data • Group rows (one or more). Used to link together terminal rows Import POS Exception Reports The POS Report Import wizard guides you through the several steps required to import a new report and also create a report template. Templates are useful as the next time you import a report of that type, victor will recognize it and import it directly.

Generic Edge Devices must be configured within the client before reports can be created to associate victor video with report data. Generic Edge Devices These devices are hardware objects which are added to victor for reference only. They enable you to associate cameras so that when generic exception reports are run, you can view video aligned with report data. victor does not poll these devices for status, the only meaningful reference which links the device to reports is the External Identifier which maps to the report. Associated camera views can be accessed by right clicking on the objects in the device list and selecting View. Generic Exception Report Requirements At a minimum, exception reports must: • Be in Row-Column Format • Be either .csv, .txt, .xls or .xlsx file format • Contain columns for Date, Time and Generic Edge Device • List exceptional transactions Any other information the report may contain will be imported and displayed but is not required for the import to be successful.

Various predefined report templates are available within the client or alternatively, you can use 'Ad Hoc' reports for more customizable reports which allow search terms to be used. The Data Visualizer feature allows users to display report data graphically using Charts, Timelines and Report Grids. Journal Filter The Journal Filter is used to regulate the amount of data being written to the database (joumaled) by blocking/unblocking specific alert types. The feature is accessed from System Values on the Setup tab. The following message types cannot be blocked and will always be joumaled: • General Purpose Interface Activity • Operator Login • State Change • System Activity • System Error The default setting is to record, meaning messages will be written to the database unless they are blocked in the journal filter. Note: Motion Detection, Light Change and Motion Exception Alerts are blocked by default. Report exceptions are controlled at Object and Type level. Object Exceptions override Type Exceptions - therefore if an alert type is blocked at type level but allowed for a specific object, the object's alert will be written to the database but the block on the type remains valid. American Dynamics 249 EFTA01224058 Generate / Save Reports Various predefined report templates are available within the report editor. These can be used to generate reports to retrieve Journal and Audit information on system objects and activity. From the reporting dialog, reports can be saved so they can be executed later.

American Dynamics 256 EFTA01224065 Sites Introduction A Site is a user definable list of folders into which you can drag devices and objects. Sites allows users to organize and group objects into logical folder views instead of the traditional device driven views. Users can create sites and folders with custom names and organize the objects within according to criteria relevant to that site. For example, a folder can be named 'East Car Park' and that folder can be used to group objects related to that particular area (Cameras, Recorders etc.) The site list is therefore used as a convenient method from where to open objects and views related to a particular physical location. Create a Site You can add new sites to victor which allow you to group and manage devices within a specific area. Procedure 229 Create a Site tep Action 1 Select the Sites tab. Site window displays. 2 Right Click in the white space within the sites window. 3 Select Add Site.

To achieve this, the General Purpose Interface: • Initializes communication between victor client and a third party device. • Maintains a communications channel by polling the third party device. • Defines General Purpose Actions which send messages to third party devices using victor event activation and supports acknowledgment messages from third party devices. • Defines General Purpose Monitoring Points which represent monitoring points in third party devices. • Defines General Purpose incoming message protocols which interpret incoming messages from third party devices and support acknowledgment for incoming messages. Terminology GPI General Purpose Interface Device The central third party hardware device victor data type which changes state based on Monitoring Point incoming messages from the device Protocol Sent to the device as a result of events triggered in Action Messages victor Objects created in victor which are transmitted to Actions the General Purpose Device based on activated events in victor Where the input strings are sent from the device Input through the Serial/Network port to victor Where the output is an action and requests a Output response from the device Where the poll is an action which requires a Poll response from the device STX Start of Text ETX End of Text American Dynamics 259 EFTA01224068 The General Purpose Interface can work with any device which uses ASCII code communications protocol for event monitoring, such as: Intercom Process Control Equipment Burglar/Intrusion Environmental Dome Control Lighting Access Control Refrigeration Elevators Wireless Communication The third party device sends pure ASCII messages via a serial port (RS-232) or remotely via a TCP/IP port (Lantronix or Systech) to the General Purpose Interface Driver. This means that you can respond to alarms from many types of third party devices as well as the system video and health alarms described in 'Events'. The General Purpose interface supports the following functionality: • Input - Where the input strings are sent from the device through the Serial/Network port to victor • Output - Where the output is an action and requests a response from the device • Poll - Where the poll is an action which requires a response from the device American Dynamics 260 EFTA01224069 Monitoring Points Monitoring Points are victor data types which change state based on incoming messages from the device. Monitoring Points can be configured to directly trigger Events. Events can be designed to activate any victor event action. You can configure a message protocol which then parses the received Monitoring Point string. You can also define header and trailer characters in the Protocol area of the General Purpose Interface. Monitoring Points can also be annunciated at the monitoring station and written to the historical journal. Monitoring Point Message Processing When the General Purpose Driver receives the message from the device, it does the following: 1 Parses the message and looks for poll or action responses • If it finds a poll or action response, it processes the response • If it does NOT find a poll or action response, it continues to parse 2 Looks for a message protocol • If it finds a message protocol, it processes the protocol • If it does NOT find a message protocol, it continues to parse Note: The device can delimit the message with or without header and trailer characters Poll Command The Poll Command, frequency of polling and expected response (Poll Command Acknowledgment) are all defined as part of the configuration of a specific General Purpose Device. Poll Command Acknowledgment Some protocols will include an acknowledge character returned to the device that issued the polling command - this is additional confirmation that the general purpose device received the command. Output Output is performed using an Action which is activated by an Event. The output sends a string of characters to the General Purpose Device through the serial/network port. The optional expected response is also configured as part of the action. American Dynamics 261 EFTA01224070 Virtual Keyboard As the ASCII characters between 0 and 32 are not visible on screen and have no equivalent keyboard button, the virtual keyboard is relied on to enter these values. Some common values are the STX (Start of Text) and ETX (End of Text) which have no keyboard button but can be entered via the virtual keyboard.

American Dynamics 278 EFTA01224087 Appendix A: victor MAS/SAS Support Introduction To enhance scalability and deployment in enterprise environments, victor unification with C•CURE allows you to configure a site that is part of a 'hub-and-spokes' topology, but also has the ability to function in a disconnected environment with complete local command and control. The Master Application Server (MAS) and up to 20 Satellite Application Servers (SAS) can be deployed as a single system. The satellite servers provide real time response for critical operations like events and actions while the master server provides a rolled up monitoring and reporting interface. Each SAS contains database records for the system hardware connected to it, as well as other data relating to user authentication and authorization. Each SAS synchronizes with the MAS so that SAS local data is replicated to the MAS for central management and monitoring. Data Types Data Types Global: Data which is configured on the MAS and synchronized to all SASs. Local: Data which is configured on and exists only on SASs.

American Dynamics 286 EFTA01224095 Appendix B - Creating & Editing Templates Introduction victors Incident Management supports the ability to create a central report which ties together incident components in a user-defined format. This is controlled by two methods; the first is during export control, you can change the report order of individual items in the Direct Clip Action window. The second is via the default templates / user created templates. Templates and generated reports use Microsoft's OpenXml standard, and are therefore supported by a number of word packages in addition to Microsoft Word. Note: Microsoft Word 2007 onwards supports the OpenXml standard. Adding and Deleting Templates Templates can be added during the report generation process from the Direct Clip Action window by clicking [01. this opens a file explorer window allowing navigation and select of the desired template.Templates can also be removed by clicking Note: Templates are referenced rather than copied. It is recommended to store templates in a shared location. Creation of Templates The following information is based on the process required for Microsoft Word (specifically the 2010 release). Templates must be created and saved as .dotx files (Word XML Document), .dotx files allow the creation of the format of the template and to order the content. The incident components are inserted using the Content Controls, along with the inclusion of their own static content and formatting, this allows for the creation of bespoke report templates. Note: The Content Controls are available on the Developers ribbon. The ribbon is not shown by default Procedure 238 Displaying the Developers Ribbon - MS Word Step Action 1 Open MS Word. 2 Select File. 3 Select Options.

American Dynamics 290 EFTA01224099 Appendix C: Deploying the victor Web Service Introduction The following section provides background information on the victor Web Service and its integration with victor Web LT. General The victor Web Service is a Representational State Transfer (REST) service developed using the ASP.NET MVC4 Web API technology. The Web Service provides a RESTful API using the latest Model View Controller (MVC) design available with the .NET 4.5 framework. The RESTful API enables the Partner web applications connecting to the Web Service to do GET/PUT/DELETE and POST operations. The victor Web Service is hosted on a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web Server. victor Web LT From release V4.7 victor Web LT has been enhanced to support vAS Integration, allowing the receipt of alerts from victor Unified Client to victor Web LT. This feature is reliant on web sockets, using the victor Web Service for vAS integration is not supported in a Windows 7 Environment. The victor Web Service can be deployed on a separate Windows 8/ 8.1 / Server 2012 platform to act as a 'middle-man' between the Windows 7 victor environment and the victor Web LT server. Issue Before you run the installation dashboard, ensure that the manual prerequisites are installed / enabled to successfully deploy the victor Web Service. Solution The following prerequisites must be installed / enabled to permit the successful deployment of the victor Web service. • IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Services)— In all instances IIS must be enabled prior to running the installation dashboard • ASP.NET MVC 4 (Framework)— In all instances MVC 4 must be downloaded and installed prior to running the installation dashboard • ARR (Application Request Routing 3.0)— In instances where a vAS Integration with victor Web LT is required on a single system, i.e. the vAS, victor Web Service and victor Web LT are all installed on one system, ARR must be downloaded and installed before running the dashboard.
