1.3

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:

A.

The Digital Video Recording System (DVRS) shall digitize and electronically record and playback color and black & white video. *

1.

A loop-through video output shall be provided from the CCTV video switching system for each camera in the institution. The video from the loop-through video outputs shall be recorded by the DVRS.

2.

The DVRS shall have sufficient disk capacity to record each video channel and maintain a rolling record of the video data for 14 days on a first in first out basis.

Recording for the video channels shall be configured with video motion detection. The record rate shall be 15 frames per second when motion is * detected and 2 frames per second when motion is not detected. Recording * when motion is not detected is required since it is conceivable that the * video motion detection my not detect 100 percent of the activity in the * video scene. For purposes of calculating recording and storage media * requirements, the video I/P system shall assume that motion will be * detected on each video channel 60 percent of the time. Each image shall be * stored with a minimum resolution of 720 x 480 NTSC pixels. The DVRS shall *

DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDING SYSTEM 17220-3

be equipped with sufficient disk capacity to accommodate an additional 25 percent increase in video storage capacity for every video channel in the institution.

B.

The DVRS shall be configured as multiple centrally located servers on a single network.

The central recording area shall be the main equipment room. The system shall not use jukeboxes or any other automated mechanical disk changing technology.

1.

The system shall be configured with sufficient servers and / or processor boards so that the video capture rate can be increased by 25 percent for every video channel in the institution.

2.

The network shall incorporate multiple remote access stations, as shown on the drawings, that provide the user real time viewing and playback capabilities. *

3.

The network shall utilize a Local Area Network Switch.

4.

The network shall include a single photo quality printer as shown on the drawings. The printer shall be connected to the DVRS LAN so that all of the * remote access stations on the network have access to the printer.

5.

See Section 17900 for the DVRS UPS power requirements.
