Introduction to NetStation and V-DRS

Alnet Servers

• Alnet NetStation– Open Platform Video Management Solution– NetStation is an Advanced System for video and sound

recording from IP and Analog Cameras– The System is based on the highly reliable VDR-S

application by Alnet Systems– The Alnet servers are Windows based– The system are fully supported supported locally (South

Africa) and remotely via ADSL

• Alnet System Features– VDR-S is the software application installed on each of the Alnet Servers– H.264 Compression is used. This is the replacement for MPEG4. H.264 is a

standard for video compression, and is equivalent to MPEG-4 Part 10, or MPEG-4 AVC

– User Friendly GUI– Camera configuration menu allows precise parameters settings for each of the

cameras. Each camera can be set up individually.– Archives are available instantly and supply a user friendly time line to find

incidents. These archives are available to anybody on the network that has been granted access to the material.

– Advanced motion detection– Interactive electronic map (e-map) is an optional feature which shows floor

plan and corresponding camera locations. – Email system alerts to managers: signal loss, camera disconnected, user login

and logout, start-up and shutdown of system etc.– Alnet Client software for remote viewing via the LAN or ADSL (both Server and

Client must be connected to same LAN or ADSL)

Server Recommendations• Provision should be made for an industrial UPS to run the entire server system. Power for the

system should be provided through a dedicated "RED CIRCUIT" (NOT THROUGH EARTH LEAKAGE) with UPSs at each Power supply point.

• Maximum distance from PoE switch to furthest camera: 100m. Power must be provided for the PoE Switches [220VAC].

• All Alnet servers should be housed in a lockable server cabinet with the following recommendations:

– Depth 800mm– Equip with a fan– Rear Extension Closet for cable management • The cabinets should be in an air-conditioned environment to prevent the server equipment

from overheating.• In order to comply with the required installation standards the cabinet must be positioned in

an air conditioned room and on a raised platform. • The cabinet will need a clearance area of 1m around the perimeter to allow technicians

unobstructed access.


Remote Viewing

• Client Application (CMS)– CMS Professional is an advanced client application that works in conjunction with

NetStation servers. The software provides the capability to view multiple sites remotely via an ADSL connection.

– Client software is also able to record footage offering further redundancy. – Recorded footage can be accessed through the Archive module which has all of the

same functionality as the Server – User limitations can be set on Client applications by the system administrator – Client software is distributed free of charge.

• Mobile Client– Video client software for mobile devices– CMS mobile is supported by iPhone, android, blackberry and windows phone
