Дмитрий Стрельцов
Привычная классификация объектов (крупные, средние и малые) подразумевает деление моделей регистраторов по числу каналов. Так для крупных объектов используются устройства с 16 каналами и выше, нужды средних объектов решаются оборудованием, имеющим 8-10 входных каналов; малые объекты имеют небольшое число камер, поэтому на них устанавливается регистраторы с числом каналов от 4 до 6. Отдельно необходимо выделить сегменты, где применяются одноканальные устройства.
С другой стороны, существует ряд специфических объектов видеонаблюдения, которые суммарно обладают большим количеством камер, но установлены эти камеры локально небольшими группами.
К числу подобных объектов относятся небольшие магазины, отделения банков, аптеки, автозаправочные станции, банкоматы и т.д.
Как правило, топология системы видеонаблюдения на подобных объектах схожа: установленные камеры для видеонаблюдения за объектом «мониторятся» из единого центра. Сразу оговорюсь, что здесь возможны два подхода построения системы записи видеоинформации. Первый заключается в том, что расположенные в локальных местах камеры передают картинку в единый мониторинговый центр, запись которой производится здесь же на сервер или на специально выделенные сетевые регистраторы. Понятно, что сигнал от аналоговых камер на такие расстояние передать невозможно, поэтому речь идет об IP-камерах и IP- системах. Но при наличии большого количества удаленных объектов (например, у филиала территориального банка Сбербанка России могут быть сотни дополнительных офисов, разбросанных по территории всей области), администрирование такой сети может быть весьма накладным и трудоемким делом. К тому же нельзя не учитывать качество большинства российских каналов связи. Как правило, о передаче «живого» видео речь идти не может. Поэтому в настоящее время большим доверием пользуется второй способ: организация на каждом объекте локального центра записи и хранения информации с использованием цифрового регистратора. DVR также может по имеющимся сетям передавать информацию в центральный офис постоянно, если каналы связи это позволяют, или по запросу, в строго обозначенные промежутки времени, а также в случае возникновения тревожной ситуации. Здесь надо отметить, что для ряда объектов, например таких, как банкомат, наличие «живого» видео не обязательно. Эта функция необходима, так сказать, для визуальной идентификации работоспособности системы.
Еще один плюс подобного подхода в том, что гарантия сохранности архива, да и качество локальной записи будет гораздо выше, а это означает, что запись, сделанная DVR, может в случае противоправных действий помочь в работе правоохранительных органов.
Справедливости ради, стоит заметить, что, называя устройство записи DVR, мы подразумеваем использование как PC-based, так и Stand alone DVR. Решение должен принимать пользователь, исходя из функциональных требований и необходимой степени надежности системы. Stand аlone DVR – это законченное автономное устройство, выполняющее определенный набор функций и ориентированное на запись и визуализацию видеоизображения. В stand аlone DVR используются, и это – одно из главных их отличий от PC-based систем, специализированные операционные системы: Linux или Real Time Operation Systems (RTOS). Встроенные функции контроля состояния регистратора позволяют повысить надежность автономно установленного регистратора. Ведь если на объекте отсутствует оператор (например, в случае установки DVR в банкомате), некому быстро подойти и устранить неисправность, перезагрузить, если нужно, регистратор и т.д. А если нужно ехать на другой конец города или, хуже того, области? Тут надежность – определяющий фактор.
Хочется внести ясность по поводу количества используемых каналов в системе видеонаблюдения небольших распределенных объектов. Общего правила здесь нет, хотя однотипным объектам свойственны единые правила построения системы. В случае магазинов, а точнее сказать сетей магазинов, есть довольно четкая градация, сколько камер должно быть установлено на каждом объекте. Из опыта, 4-канальные регистраторы используются в малых магазинах, где имеется только один кассовый аппарат. Более крупные объекты требуют установки большего числа камер.
При организации видеонаблюдения в банкоматах еще недавно приходилось рассказывать, почему в банкомате необходимо устанавливать минимум 2 камеры: помимо портретной, необходимо иметь камеру установленную в зоне выдачи наличных. Сейчас же некоторые банки готовы инсталлировать до 5 камер для 1 банкомата: портретная, зона выдачи наличных, зона приема денег, камера внутри банкомата для регистрации действий инкассаторов и камера, фиксирующая действия вокруг банкомата.
Кровавая статистика нападений на отделения банков также заставляет пересматривать подходы к организации видеонаблюдения, так как банки приходят к пониманию, что далеко не везде можно обойтись 4 камерами, ведь необходимо фиксировать периметр вокруг отделения, события, происходящие внутри, лица всех входящих и т.д.
Отдельно хочется сказать о сетевых АЗС. Думаю, мои коллеги могут привести примеры инсталляций 4-канальных регистраторов на таких объектах. Но я, например, уверен, что даже для небольшой АЗС четырех камер явно недостаточно, — ведь нужно, чтобы камеры видели все въезжающие на заправку автомобили, обеспечивали контроль за кассой (кассами), магазином (они есть сейчас практически на каждой автозаправочной станции). Все же практика показывает, что для небольших распределенных объектов в большинстве случаев используются 4-канальные регистраторы. С другой стороны, необходимо предусматривать возможность расширения системы регистраторами с большим числом каналов, при этом должна быть полная совместимость оборудования, чтобы мониторинг производился единым программным обеспечением. Попробуем сформулировать основные требования к DVR для распределенных объектов:
- Запись информации с видеокамер для дальнейшей ее обработки.
- Возможность получения и живой картинки, и записанной ранее по сети.
- Передача по сети и сохранение отрезков видеоинформации в мониторинговом центре.
- Удаленная настройка регистратора.
- Адаптация работы регистратора к условиям сетей (регламентирование широты пропускания).
- Получение тревожных уведомлений по сети.
- Специальные возможности.
- Обеспечение надежности работы оборудования, в соответствии с возможными рисками.
Остановимся чуть более подробно на некоторых параметрах. Такие очевидные функции, как запись, передача «живого» видео и просмотр записанного ранее, а также сохранение отрезков (downloading) дополнительных комментариев не требуют.
Удаленная настройка регистраторов существенно сокращает сервисные издержки, поскольку позволяет производить данную операцию, не выезжая к месту установки устройства.
Один из часто задаваемых в России вопросов: какой должна быть минимальная полоса пропускания, чтобы регистраторы работали корректно. Когда наш японский инженер услышал этот вопрос в первый раз, он был очень удивлен. И после того, как осознал, что спрашивающего интересует не максимальная, а минимальная полоса пропускания ответил, что для нашей техники эта величина не имеет значения, главное, чтобы канал был стабильный. В любом случае ограничение полосы пропускания позволяет более точно осуществить настройку сетей, чтобы регистратор не влиял на работу других подразделений.
Получение тревожных уведомлений – это правильный путь работы с большим числом установленных регистраторов. Например, оператор не может отследить в режиме реального времени, действительно ли с карточки снимает деньги ее владелец. Но среагировать на тревожную ситуацию (потеря видеоинформации, остановка записи, выход из строя регистратора) он должен мгновенно.
Специальные возможности не являются необходимыми, но предоставляют пользователю дополнительные удобства при работе с регистраторами. К примеру, автоматическая синхронизация времени необходима для «привязки» времени DVR ко времени компьютера центрального мониторинга. Запись информации о транзакции позволяет сопоставить номер карточки с фотографией лица, осуществляющего операции с ней. При видеонаблюдении за кассовыми операциями наличие титров позволяет расследовать случаи мошенничества операторов.
Наличие зеркалирования – создания резервной копии информации – позволяет повысить степень надежности используемого оборудования. Возможны различные варианты копирования, например архивирование заданного интервала, — для этого необходимо задать начальную и конечную точки, и видеорегистратор определит размер файла и, соответственно, необходимый объем носителя информации, куда будет производиться копирование. Копирование также может производиться с начальной точки и до того момента, пока не закончится место на внешнем носителе. Такое копирование является, по сути, активным зеркалированием, поскольку объем архива может быть в много раз больше, чем объем информации, хранящийся на внутренних жестких дисках.
В подобных моделях в качестве накопителей архивной информации могут использоваться любые USB-устройства, но чаще всего применяются штатные блоки расширения от компании-производителя или устройства сетевого хранения данных.
Теперь о последнем по списку (но не по значению) параметре надежности оборудования, степень которого должна соответствовать рискам потерь на данном объекте. Согласитесь, небольшой продуктовый магазин по стоимости возможных потерь сильно отличается от ювелирного магазина или отделения банка. Инсталлятору, а тем более, заказчику иногда бывает очень трудно решить, какое оборудование выбрать для своей задачи, так как все необходимые для DVR функции присутствуют в технических характеристиках всех производителей.
Поэтому часто основным критерием при выборе является цена оборудования, по принципу «не самое дорогое и не самое дешевое». Еще раз отмечу, что важно исходить из характеристики объекта и конкретных задач, которые ставит заказчик. Например, по теории надежности/отказов можно выделить следующие периоды работы любого устройства, выполненного на основе электронных компонентов:
- период «детских болезней»;
- период устойчивой работы;
- период старения.
Первый период характеризуется достаточно высоким показателем вероятности отказа.
Важное отличие оборудования, произведенного ведущими компаниями, – в обиходе его иногда называют «брендовое», – в том, что «детские болезни» они «лечат» сами. Проводится очень жесткое дополнительное тестирование, и потребитель получает оборудование уже на этапе «устойчивой» работы.
Второй важный параметр – вероятность отказа оборудования в период «устойчивой» работы. Брендовое оборудование имеет, как правило, очень маленький показатель: в пределах 1%. И, как правило, отличается достаточной протяженностью периода безотказной работы. Между тем, длительность этого период является весьма существенным критерием для многих объектов. Такого показателя нет в характеристиках, заявленных производителем, но практическими наработками формируется список марок, у которых этот показатель достаточно высок. И в дальнейшем выбор ведется уже из этого перечня.
В заключение хотел бы отметить, что при выборе оборудования необходимо уточнять у производителя наличие поддержки линейки оборудования и совместимости новых моделей с предыдущими. Выстраивая отношения в долгосрочной перспективе надо более тщательно подходить к оценке поставщика и используемого оборудования, чтобы не остаться через несколько лет у «разбитого корыта».
Цифровой видеорегистратор SHR-5040P, SHR-5042P (Samsung)

Компания Mitsubishi Electric анонсировала 4-канальный цифровой видео регистратор DX-TL304E, предназначенный для записи видео с 4 аналоговых камер в формате MPEG-4 с разрешением от CIF до 4 CIF и скоростью до 100 к/с. В корпус новинки можно установить один или два HDD, а при необходимости объем дискового пространства можно довести до 9 Тб путем подключения внешних дисков. Этот видео регистратор оснащен веб-сервером для его настройки и управления через Ethernet и детектором движения с возможностью регулировки чувствительности для каждого канала. Кроме того, регистратор имеет удобное русифицированное GUI меню, 3 входа для подключения охранных датчиков, интерфейсы RS-422 для управления поворотными камерами и RS-232C для настройки DX-TL304E с помощью клавиатуры.
Для наиболее эффективного использования дискового пространства видео регистратор позволяет записывать сжатое в формате MPEG-4 цифровое видео с одним из выбранных через меню разрешений — CIF, 2CIF или 4CIF. Воспроизведение видео производится со скоростью 200 полей в секунду. Благодаря дуплексному режиму работы видео регистратор может одновременно осуществлять воспроизведение и запись видеоизображения. Причем выводить текущее и архивное видео можно сразу на два монитора.
Для записи и хранения информации больших объемов в видео регистратор устанавливается один или два жестких диска. Максимальный объем дискового пространства DX-TL304E, включая внутренние и внешние HDD, может достигать 9 Тб. Для подключения внутренних Serial ATA дисков регистратор оснащен стандартными портами, а блоки расширения DX-ZD5UE/DX-ZD6UE со встроенными HDD соединяются с DX-TL304E через USB. При этом всю видео информацию с внешних блоков расширения DX-ZD можно посмотреть на обычном компьютере после их соединения с ПК через USB.
DX-TL304E позволяет осуществлять удаленное управление по сети через веб-браузер, поскольку видео регистратор оснащен веб-сервером, или с помощью специального программного обеспечения DX-PC200, устанавливаемого на сетевой ПК. Это ПО позволяет просматривать «живое» видео со звуком, производить копирование данных по сети и др. Для синхронизации времени с сервером видео регистратор поддерживает сетевой протокол SNTP.
DX-TL304E отличается небольшими габаритами (300х91х340) и предусматривает различные варианты его монтажа, включая установку в банкоматы и стойки. Оригинальное конструктивное решение позволяет быстро устанавливать в видео регистратор внутренние диски и осуществлять их техническое обслуживание. Жесткие диски поставляются отдельно от DX-TL304E, что позволяет подобрать регистратор, максимально отвечающий требованиям конкретной системы видео наблюдения.
В зависимости от задач системы видео наблюдения на конкретном объекте видео регистратор позволяет выбрать режим записи: ручной, по расписанию, по детектору движения или по сигналу тревоги с охранного датчика. Через аудиовход к DX-TL304E можно подключить микрофон, благодаря чему можно организовать запись и передачу по сети звука, синхронизованного с видео. С целью повышения сохранности данных можно использовать функцию «зеркальной» записи на второй жесткий диск, а при отключении электропитания регистратор активирует функцию автозапуска.
При получении сигнала тревоги с охранного датчика или встроенного детектора движения видео регистратор переходит в режим тревожной записи. Причем чувствительность видео детектора настраивается индивидуально для каждого канала. Продолжительность тревожной записи регистратор предлагает выбрать в пределах от 2 сек. до 60 мин. с одним из 3 уровней качества изображения. Функция Pre-Alarm позволяет сохранять на жесткий диск DX-TL304E кадры, предшествующие моменту тревоги, а их длительность может настраиваться от 1 секунды до 30 минут.
Для управления поворотными или скоростными купольными камерами видео наблюдения видео регистратор оснащен RS-232 и RS-422. Мониторы подсоединяются к DX-TL304E через два BNC разъема, а «мышь» и внешние накопители через два USB-порта на передней панели и один — на задней. Помимо этого регистратор имеет 3 тревожных входа, к которым могут быть подключены оконные или дверные магнитные или ИК-датчики, и 2 сигнальных выхода.
Компания Mitsubishi Electric является одним из крупнейших мировых производителей устройств и оборудования для систем охранного видеонаблюдения. Mitsubishi разрабатывает и производит 4-, 9- и 16-канальные цифровые видео регистраторы (DVR), сетевые видеосерверы, термосублимационные видеопринтеры и другое оборудование для работы в составе системы видео наблюдения. В компании работает более 116 тысяч человек, а ее офисы расположены в 34 странах мира. Все охранное оборудование Mitsubishi имеет российские сертификаты соответствия, а документация и интерфейсы управления русифицированы.

Major features
This digital recorder is able to record images captured by up to 8 (DX-TL308E)/4 (DX-TL304E) surveillance cameras and audio received by microphone to its hard disk. The recorder is equipped with the function to search for desired scenes by specifying the recording dates as well as the simultaneous recording/playback function that allows playback even during recording. In addition, using the split display function to display up to 8 (DX-TL308E)/4 (DX-TL304E) camera images on one screen, you can view more than one monitored area at the same time. This recorder facilitates to configure a monitoring system for constant surveillance.
Realizing long-term recording
By reducing the size of recorded video data using the newly developed video compression engine (MEPG 4 system), the writing capacity of HDD can be saved about 50% (compared with our conventional models). In addition, this recorder is designed to connect external HDD to expand its HDD capacity up to 8 TB (when using optionally available DX-ZD6UE). Due to this, you can construct a long-term recording system to store data for 2 years, for example.
Simple operation and USB mouse connectable
By connecting a separately available USB mouse to the serial bus terminal on the recorder, you can easily control the recorder and setting menus. For frequently used functions such as search and copy, the simple operation menu allows you to operate them by simple procedure. This recorder is equipped with the on-screen help function. By clicking the help icon or pressing the HELP button, you can view various information such as operation procedures on the screen.
«One touch copy» for easy copying with one button press
The recorder is equipped with the function to copy still playback images to a USB memory device set in the recorder or a disc in an external drive with one button press. You can select still images or moving images to copy. When selecting moving images, you can specify the recording duration.
XGA output terminal integrated (DX-TL308E only)
You can connect a general PC display monitor to this terminal to use it as a surveillance monitor.
Motion detection search function
By designating certain areas such as doors and windows shown in recorded images as detection target areas, you can search for recorded data containing scenes having variation (or motion) in those areas and display the beginning of such data. This function is useful, for example, in searching for intruders into deserted places or scenes where someone painted graffiti on the wall.
Personal information protection function
By setting passwords, you can classify the recorder operations into 3 levels. You can set a password for deleting data from HDD to protect them from unauthorized access or to use this function as misuse prevention. The recorder is equipped with the function to prohibit playback of data recorded before the number of days you specify (auto expiration setting), which facilitates data management according to your operation standard regarding the data storage period.
Alarm notification of intrusion and system errors
When an alarm signal is input to the recorder from external body sensors or when an error is detected in the system, the recorder notifies the designated personal computer via TCP/IP command or e-mail. The recorder is also capable of transferring the alarm-recorded images that is triggered by an external alarm signal to the designated FTP server.

Precautions for rack-mounting
•When mounting this unit in a rack, ensure that the temperature inside the rack doesn’t rise to 40°C or higher. When installing a rack, you are recommended to install fans to keep the temperature inside the rack 30°C or lower.
•Don’t install a device that becomes hot under this unit. Otherwise the inside temperature may rise, causing a failure.
•Don’t give a shock to all HDD devices in the rack.
•Before taking this unit in or out of the rack, be sure to turn off HDD devices being energized in the rack.
•Don’t place this unit near a device that generates vibrations.
Changing installation location
•When moving this unit, be sure to turn off the MAIN switch, make sure that the unit is completely stopped, and then unplug the power cord. When this unit is exposed to excessive shock while being energized, the internal electronic parts or HDD may be damaged. Be careful especially while the power indicator or access indicator is blinking.
•Don’t move this unit for at least one minute after you turn off the power. Even after the power is turned off, the disc in the HDD keeps rotating by inertia for a while and the head is in an unstable state. This unit in such state is more vulnerable to vibrations and shocks than while being energized. Be careful not to give this unit even a slight shock for at least one minute after turning off the power. Wait at least one minute for the disc to stop, and then you can move the product.
•When moving this unit, cover it with shock absorbers to prevent shocks to the inside.
•When placing this unit on a floor, lay it gently on a soft mat or cloth.
Maintenance
•Gently wipe dirt off the cabinet with a soft cloth.
•When dirt persists, clean it off using a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well and then wipe dry.
•When using a chemical cleaning cloth, follow its instructions.
•Don’t use solvent such as benzene and thinner. Otherwise the surface of the product may deteriorate or the coating may come off.

Notes for constructing a surveillance system using this unit
•This unit can be controlled by external devices via the external connector, RS-232C connector, or LAN connector. In addition, external devices can be controlled via the external connector, RS422 connector, or RS-232C connector. These functions allow this unit to flexibly support an advanced security system. However, depending on the settings of this unit or connection or combination with external devices, this unit or externally connected devices may operate wrongly, causing adverse effects on the entire surveillance system.
•When constructing a surveillance system using this unit, you are recommended to check its operation by connecting or combining it with other devices in advance.
•Don’t use the alarm function of this unit for the purpose of making serious decisions or for applications involving human lives.
•When this unit becomes unable to recognize an external device in recording because of a power failure, voltage drop, or other failure, the recording point may move to the HDD inside this unit or other HDD. To prevent such symptom, it is recommended to use an uninterrupted power supply or other similar device.
•When you unplug the power cord or turn off the breaker during recording, the HDD may be broken or recorded data may become unable to be played back. When you turn on and off the breaker every day, program the timer recording to be performed while the breaker is on and don’t turn off the breaker during recording.
•When the user or any third party uses external devices wrongly, or external devices are affected by electric noise or they are damaged or repaired, the saved data may be lost. Mitsubishi doesn’t take any responsibility for damages related to such data loss.
•By connecting various external HDDs to this unit, you can expand the memory or use them as a copy device. However, when you perform recording, playback, or copy at a high rate using this unit, recording or playback data dropout or other failure may occur depending on the connected device because of slow data transfer or slow response. Be sure to check for such failure before starting the practical operation of the unit.
•Don’t use the function to control the powers of external devices using the bus power of this unit.
•External devices you want to use may not be suitable for the intended application of this unit. For details, you are recommended to contact your Mitsubishi dealer.
•When connecting external devices, be sure to secure the connected cables using the supplied clamp bands. When the cables are disconnected or not connected firmly, the system may become unstable or images may not be recorded.

Cautions for using external devices
By connecting various external HDDs to this recorder, you can expand the memory or use them as a copy device. However, when you perform recording, playback, or copy at a high rate using this unit, recording or playback data dropout or other failure may occur depending on the connected device because of slow data transfer or slow response. Be sure to check for such failure before starting the practical operation of the recorder.
Don’t use the function to control the powers of external devices using the bus power of this recorder.
Hookup and operation setting of HDDs
When you connect an HDD to the SERIAL BUS port of the recorder, use a USB 2.0 cable.
Turn off the MAIN switch before connecting the HDD. After the completion of connection, turn on the powers of the external devices first and then turn on the MAIN switch of the recorder.
The connected HDD is recognized at the time of startup.
Order of recording and playback of the internal and external HDDs registered as Main device
Recording and playback are carried out on the internal HDDs in the following order:
Internal A Internal B
When recording or playback on the internal HDDs is completed, it is carried on to the HDDs connected to the SERIAL BUS port. Recording is carried out in the order of number contained in the device name «SBM,» 01 to 08.
When recording or playback on the serial bus HDDs is completed, it is carried on to the internal HDDs.

Привычная классификация объектов (крупные, средние и малые) подразумевает деление моделей регистраторов по числу каналов. Так для крупных объектов используются устройства с 16 каналами и выше, нужды средних объектов решаются оборудованием, имеющим 8-10 входных каналов; малые объекты имеют небольшое число камер, поэтому на них устанавливается регистраторы с числом каналов от 4 до 6. Отдельно необходимо выделить сегменты, где применяются одноканальные устройства.
С другой стороны, существует ряд специфических объектов видеонаблюдения, которые суммарно обладают большим количеством камер, но установлены эти камеры локально небольшими группами.
К числу подобных объектов относятся небольшие магазины, отделения банков, аптеки, автозаправочные станции, банкоматы и т.д.
Как правило, топология системы видеонаблюдения на подобных объектах схожа: установленные камеры для видеонаблюдения за объектом «мониторятся» из единого центра. Сразу оговорюсь, что здесь возможны два подхода построения системы записи видеоинформации. Первый заключается в том, что расположенные в локальных местах камеры передают картинку в единый мониторинговый центр, запись которой производится здесь же на сервер или на специально выделенные сетевые регистраторы. Понятно, что сигнал от аналоговых камер на такие расстояние передать невозможно, поэтому речь идет об IP-камерах и IP- системах. Но при наличии большого количества удаленных объектов (например, у филиала территориального банка Сбербанка России могут быть сотни дополнительных офисов, разбросанных по территории всей области), администрирование такой сети может быть весьма накладным и трудоемким делом. К тому же нельзя не учитывать качество большинства российских каналов связи. Как правило, о передаче «живого» видео речь идти не может. Поэтому в настоящее время большим доверием пользуется второй способ: организация на каждом объекте локального центра записи и хранения информации с использованием цифрового регистратора. DVR также может по имеющимся сетям передавать информацию в центральный офис постоянно, если каналы связи это позволяют, или по запросу, в строго обозначенные промежутки времени, а также в случае возникновения тревожной ситуации. Здесь надо отметить, что для ряда объектов, например таких, как банкомат, наличие «живого» видео не обязательно. Эта функция необходима, так сказать, для визуальной идентификации работоспособности системы.
Еще один плюс подобного подхода в том, что гарантия сохранности архива, да и качество локальной записи будет гораздо выше, а это означает, что запись, сделанная DVR, может в случае противоправных действий помочь в работе правоохранительных органов.
Справедливости ради, стоит заметить, что, называя устройство записи DVR, мы подразумеваем использование как PC-based, так и Stand alone DVR. Решение должен принимать пользователь, исходя из функциональных требований и необходимой степени надежности системы. Stand аlone DVR – это законченное автономное устройство, выполняющее определенный набор функций и ориентированное на запись и визуализацию видеоизображения. В stand аlone DVR используются, и это – одно из главных их отличий от PC-based систем, специализированные операционные системы: Linux или Real Time Operation Systems (RTOS). Встроенные функции контроля состояния регистратора позволяют повысить надежность автономно установленного регистратора. Ведь если на объекте отсутствует оператор (например, в случае установки DVR в банкомате), некому быстро подойти и устранить неисправность, перезагрузить, если нужно, регистратор и т.д. А если нужно ехать на другой конец города или, хуже того, области? Тут надежность – определяющий фактор.
Хочется внести ясность по поводу количества используемых каналов в системе видеонаблюдения небольших распределенных объектов. Общего правила здесь нет, хотя однотипным объектам свойственны единые правила построения системы. В случае магазинов, а точнее сказать сетей магазинов, есть довольно четкая градация, сколько камер должно быть установлено на каждом объекте. Из опыта, 4-канальные регистраторы используются в малых магазинах, где имеется только один кассовый аппарат. Более крупные объекты требуют установки большего числа камер.
При организации видеонаблюдения в банкоматах еще недавно приходилось рассказывать, почему в банкомате необходимо устанавливать минимум 2 камеры: помимо портретной, необходимо иметь камеру установленную в зоне выдачи наличных. Сейчас же некоторые банки готовы инсталлировать до 5 камер для 1 банкомата: портретная, зона выдачи наличных, зона приема денег, камера внутри банкомата для регистрации действий инкассаторов и камера, фиксирующая действия вокруг банкомата.
Кровавая статистика нападений на отделения банков также заставляет пересматривать подходы к организации видеонаблюдения, так как банки приходят к пониманию, что далеко не везде можно обойтись 4 камерами, ведь необходимо фиксировать периметр вокруг отделения, события, происходящие внутри, лица всех входящих и т.д.
Отдельно хочется сказать о сетевых АЗС. Думаю, мои коллеги могут привести примеры инсталляций 4-канальных регистраторов на таких объектах. Но я, например, уверен, что даже для небольшой АЗС четырех камер явно недостаточно, — ведь нужно, чтобы камеры видели все въезжающие на заправку автомобили, обеспечивали контроль за кассой (кассами), магазином (они есть сейчас практически на каждой автозаправочной станции). Все же практика показывает, что для небольших распределенных объектов в большинстве случаев используются 4-канальные регистраторы. С другой стороны, необходимо предусматривать возможность расширения системы регистраторами с большим числом каналов, при этом должна быть полная совместимость оборудования, чтобы мониторинг производился единым программным обеспечением. Попробуем сформулировать основные требования к DVR для распределенных объектов:
- Запись информации с видеокамер для дальнейшей ее обработки.
- Возможность получения и живой картинки, и записанной ранее по сети.
- Передача по сети и сохранение отрезков видеоинформации в мониторинговом центре.
- Удаленная настройка регистратора.
- Адаптация работы регистратора к условиям сетей (регламентирование широты пропускания).
- Получение тревожных уведомлений по сети.
- Специальные возможности.
- Обеспечение надежности работы оборудования, в соответствии с возможными рисками.
Остановимся чуть более подробно на некоторых параметрах. Такие очевидные функции, как запись, передача «живого» видео и просмотр записанного ранее, а также сохранение отрезков (downloading) дополнительных комментариев не требуют.
Удаленная настройка регистраторов существенно сокращает сервисные издержки, поскольку позволяет производить данную операцию, не выезжая к месту установки устройства.
Один из часто задаваемых в России вопросов: какой должна быть минимальная полоса пропускания, чтобы регистраторы работали корректно. Когда наш японский инженер услышал этот вопрос в первый раз, он был очень удивлен. И после того, как осознал, что спрашивающего интересует не максимальная, а минимальная полоса пропускания ответил, что для нашей техники эта величина не имеет значения, главное, чтобы канал был стабильный. В любом случае ограничение полосы пропускания позволяет более точно осуществить настройку сетей, чтобы регистратор не влиял на работу других подразделений.
Получение тревожных уведомлений – это правильный путь работы с большим числом установленных регистраторов. Например, оператор не может отследить в режиме реального времени, действительно ли с карточки снимает деньги ее владелец. Но среагировать на тревожную ситуацию (потеря видеоинформации, остановка записи, выход из строя регистратора) он должен мгновенно.
Специальные возможности не являются необходимыми, но предоставляют пользователю дополнительные удобства при работе с регистраторами. К примеру, автоматическая синхронизация времени необходима для «привязки» времени DVR ко времени компьютера центрального мониторинга. Запись информации о транзакции позволяет сопоставить номер карточки с фотографией лица, осуществляющего операции с ней. При видеонаблюдении за кассовыми операциями наличие титров позволяет расследовать случаи мошенничества операторов.
Наличие зеркалирования – создания резервной копии информации – позволяет повысить степень надежности используемого оборудования. Возможны различные варианты копирования, например архивирование заданного интервала, — для этого необходимо задать начальную и конечную точки, и видеорегистратор определит размер файла и, соответственно, необходимый объем носителя информации, куда будет производиться копирование. Копирование также может производиться с начальной точки и до того момента, пока не закончится место на внешнем носителе. Такое копирование является, по сути, активным зеркалированием, поскольку объем архива может быть в много раз больше, чем объем информации, хранящийся на внутренних жестких дисках.
В подобных моделях в качестве накопителей архивной информации могут использоваться любые USB-устройства, но чаще всего применяются штатные блоки расширения от компании-производителя или устройства сетевого хранения данных.
Теперь о последнем по списку (но не по значению) параметре надежности оборудования, степень которого должна соответствовать рискам потерь на данном объекте. Согласитесь, небольшой продуктовый магазин по стоимости возможных потерь сильно отличается от ювелирного магазина или отделения банка. Инсталлятору, а тем более, заказчику иногда бывает очень трудно решить, какое оборудование выбрать для своей задачи, так как все необходимые для DVR функции присутствуют в технических характеристиках всех производителей.
Поэтому часто основным критерием при выборе является цена оборудования, по принципу «не самое дорогое и не самое дешевое». Еще раз отмечу, что важно исходить из характеристики объекта и конкретных задач, которые ставит заказчик. Например, по теории надежности/отказов можно выделить следующие периоды работы любого устройства, выполненного на основе электронных компонентов:
- период «детских болезней»;
- период устойчивой работы;
- период старения.
Первый период характеризуется достаточно высоким показателем вероятности отказа.
Важное отличие оборудования, произведенного ведущими компаниями, – в обиходе его иногда называют «брендовое», – в том, что «детские болезни» они «лечат» сами. Проводится очень жесткое дополнительное тестирование, и потребитель получает оборудование уже на этапе «устойчивой» работы.
Второй важный параметр – вероятность отказа оборудования в период «устойчивой» работы. Брендовое оборудование имеет, как правило, очень маленький показатель: в пределах 1%. И, как правило, отличается достаточной протяженностью периода безотказной работы. Между тем, длительность этого период является весьма существенным критерием для многих объектов. Такого показателя нет в характеристиках, заявленных производителем, но практическими наработками формируется список марок, у которых этот показатель достаточно высок. И в дальнейшем выбор ведется уже из этого перечня.
В заключение хотел бы отметить, что при выборе оборудования необходимо уточнять у производителя наличие поддержки линейки оборудования и совместимости новых моделей с предыдущими. Выстраивая отношения в долгосрочной перспективе надо более тщательно подходить к оценке поставщика и используемого оборудования, чтобы не остаться через несколько лет у «разбитого корыта».
