STS-IPTX161 is an optimal solution for operation with analog security cameras and remote monitoring over the network. For digitization, compression and video transmission over the network this server uses high-performance DaVinci processor. This processor allows STS-IPTX161 to generate high-quality images and transmit it over IP-channel in real-time with 720x576 pix. resolution at 25 fps. In case of low bandwidth rate, video server allows the operator to adjust data transmission parameters automatically or manually.

Standard and advanced intellectual functions
STS-IPTX161 is bundled with VCA Presence video analytics package, which greatly enhances IP video surveillance systems. Using it, video server analyzes the image, giving the operator visual information and reduce the frequency of false alarms. When activating an optional VCA Surveillance license, the advanced features of video analytics will be available: detection of the objects in the security zone, tracking of multiple objects, entrance/exit filters, filters of identifying object’s presence/absence, digital image stabilization, etc. In addition, video server features a software package for its integration into the video systems based on software from different manufacturers.

The main advantages of VCA video analytics:

• Reliable tracking mechanism – video server provides a high-quality objects’ detection with a small number of false alarms, caused by changes in external lighting conditions (the shadows of clouds and trees, rain, fog, etc.)
• An automatic adaptation of video analytics to changes of lighting and weather conditions. Network video server provides non-stop operation even in a temporary, partial or complete cover of the camera.
• Easy web-based setup of monitoring area without using special software.
• Video server with VCA can operate as an alarm sensor, if its alarm output is connected to the input of the recording or signal activation systems.
• HTTP API for camera settings and event notifications; RTSP for video streaming; XML language for displaying information on the events.
• Built-in digital stabilization, which allows video analytics to operate with loss of effectiveness even if in camera vibration.

Description of software modules:

1. The main functions of VCA presence:
   - Detection and identification of objects and people in the monitoring area.
   - Selecting focus areas, in which each zone can generate its own alarm.
   - Tracking of multiple objects (network video server can track up to 100 objects simultaneously).
   - Checking unauthorized manipulation.
2. The main functions of VCA surveillance:
   - Size and Speed Filters for preventing false alarms. These filters allow the operator to perform object classification.
   - Direction Filters for setting "acceptable" and "unacceptable" directions of movement.
   - Detection of the object in the unauthorized area.
   - Object’s temporary stay in the surveillance area longer than usual. Signal of this event Network video server can activate the signal on this event both for temporary stay and moving of the object within security area.
   - Control of object’s entrance and leaving of the surveillance area.
   - Appearance and disappearance of various objects or items in the security zone.
   - Count the number of objects: ascending/descending sorting.
   - Double Border: two border lines located at a distance from each other. Video server activates alarm signal in case of crossing these borders.

Simple connection to CCTV equipment
In addition to the power connector and RJ45 LAN-connector, basic video server features BNC-video input and loop through output. STS-IPTX161 can transmit one or two video streams simultaneously with different settings: type of the codec, resolution, bitrate and compression ratio. Smartec video server also supports QoS (Quality of Service) network technology, which adjusts video stream settings according to the IP-channel bandwidth.

Configuration and management over the network
STS-IPTX161 has a built-in Web server, which allows the operator to configure video server and view video online using a standard Web browser. In addition, NEYRO Series video server is bundled with IPAdminTool utility, which automatically scans the network for all IP-devices. To access security settings of the video server is restricted by the password.

Professional software for STS-IPTX161 and CCTV system management
For deployment of CCTV system based on Smartec video servers and third-party equipment, it is recommended to use NetStation software, which can be used for systems with up to 32 video channels. This software provides a great opportunity to view and record audio/video, use interactive graphic layout (eMap) and create large IP video surveillance systems with “client-server” architecture.
