DIGITAL NETWORKING
Without question, two words that recur
with increasing frequency in our
industry are digital, and networking.
This well illustrates how innovation in
this industry gradually moves into the
mainstream of product specification.
Only a few years ago, the use of
Internet technology to access images
over long distances would have been
commented on as exceptional.
Today, for almost every major
installation, the use of digital
technology to monitor and relay images
is accepted as the norm. This process is
continuing and spreading through the
whole marketplace. The growing
popularity of day/night cameras over
individual colour or monochrome
cameras demonstrates a similar trend
in another sector of the industry.

MONOCHROME OR COLOUR?
The human eye remembers and recalls
things better if they appear in colour
its easier to track down a brown-haired
person wearing a red sweater and blue
jeans than a dark, grey-clad figure that
would be produced in monochrome.
Colour cameras carry an additional
premium in price compared with
monochrome cameras. But they are also
less sensitive making night usage an
impractical option unless good lighting is
available.
ANALOGUE OR DIGITAL?
Until recently most cameras have been
of the analogue type, producing good
quality images at an affordable price.
However, the introduction of Digital
Signal Processing (DSP) has increased
both the flexibility of using security
cameras whilst enhancing the quality of
the colour images produced.
At the heart of DSP lies computer
microchips, or chip sets which have
replaced the conventional integrated
circuits in the camera head. This enables
DSP camera manufacturers to offer
installer friendly, feature-rich products.
The market for DSP technology falls into
two broad categories: standard and
premium DSP. Standard DSP cameras
generally offer more consistent picture
quality than their analogue counterparts,
operating over a wider range of lighting
conditions. Premium DSP cameras,
however, have much richer functionality.
This includes programmable intelligent
backlight compensation (BLC), Video
Motion Detection, remote set-up and
control using a serial data link; built-in
character generator and on-screen
menus. These features make Premium
DSP cameras the ideal choice for
complex surveillance conditions such as
those encountered in town centres.
Some situations may require a standard
DSP camera, but with a specific premium
feature.
This innovative feature is ideal in
awkward lighting situations, e.g. a
camera looking towards a shop window.
In the morning, the sun may be in the
top left corner of the window, but then
moves across the field of view during the
day, causing poor picture quality in most
cameras. Intelligent backlight
compensation is a function that will
ensure crisp detailed pictures
automatically throughout the day.

responsible policy should always be
introduced to ensure that footage from
covert cameras is used for the
purposes it was intended.
VPIR RANGE
The VPIR range mimics a Passive
Intruder Alarm Sensor offering a
number of options to suit the
majority of covert surveillance
requirements. In its simplest form,
the sensor housing contains a
miniature camera for surveillance.
However, this model is also available
with an integral microphone for audio
recording and active sensors which
can be used to trigger a recording
device, e.g. a VCR.
b) Discreet/Unobtrusive surveillance
often there is a need for a
surveillance system that is less
conspicuous, not necessarily as an
attempt to hide the fact that
monitoring is taking place, but
more for marketing or style
considerations.
When introducing a covert system, it is
important to recognise that access to
recorded material must be kept to a
minimum to ensure the privacy of
individuals who may appear. A

VANDAL
RESISTANT
CAMERAS
WHEN CCTV BECOMES A TARGET
Public opinion surveys show consistently that people feel safer with CCTV than without it.
Thats not a view shared by criminals of course, which accounts for the rising number of
attacks on CCTV system themselves.
The Vista Vandal Resistant range has been designed in order to combat this potential
problem in areas where cameras are subject to such attack, or even harsh environments
which may damage conventional cameras. The protection comes from the camera housings
which are manufactured from tough polycarbonate materials able to withstand blows from
items such as club hammers, scaffolding poles and baseball bats. The vandal resistant range
use special tamper proof screws so access to the camera module is impossible without the
tool which is supplied.
All housings within the vandal resistant range come with a smoked glass bubble, through
which the camera operates. This is very useful, particularly in the dome versions, as
onlookers cannot easily see which way the camera is pointing, thus acting as a further
deterrent.
The main point in using a vandal resistant camera is to capture images no matter what is
happening around the unit. You will find that the Vista range of vandal resistant cameras
meet such a challenge very effectively.

FIXED DOMES
Due to their success as a deterrent
against shoplifting, the use of fixed
domes in retail environments has
expanded dramatically. As a result of
their increasing popularity, they are
now used in a broad spectrum of
internal surveillance applications.
From banks to night clubs, apartment
lobbies to car park entrances, the use
of fixed domes continues to spread
into wider commercial and industrial
sectors.

VISTA DATABASE
Vista DataBase is included with the standard VNPR system
controller.
Vista DataBase is an easy to use, flexible system which, put
simply, allows storage of car number plates that can be
used to raise barriers or trigger other events when cross
referenced from the VNPR camera unit.
Vista DataBase is where the information used by VistaBase
LIVE and ViataBase REVIEW is held and maintained.
VistaRemote
Operates on a dial-up network and allows any Vista
VNPR controller to be accessed from any other PC
using standard web browser software (such as Windows
Explorer). The system also allows interrogation,
upload or download of vehicle hot lists, ability to view
site CCTV cameras and produce summary graphs of
traffic activity; e.g average length of stay, etc.

KEY FEATURES:
MANUAL IRIS
Manual iris lenses can be adjusted
at the time of installation and are
suitable for use where the lighting
levels remain constant. This is more
likely to be in an internal application.
FIXED IRIS
This type of lens offers no
adjustment and whilst being the
most cost effective type of lens due
to the lack of moving parts, needs
to be carefully selected for the
application.
FOCAL LENGTH
The focal length of a lens is concerned
with the field of view. A 8mm focal
length will give a narrower field of
view than a 4mm focal length for
example. Therefore 8mm would be
good for viewing an entrance way
and 4mm would be good for giving
an overview shot of an office.
VARIFOCAL LENSES
Varifocal lenses offer increased
flexibility as the field of view can
be manually adjusted to the
desired level. Although slightly
more expensive than fixed focus
lenses, these lenses are popular
because the desired view is easily
achievable.
ZOOM LENSES
Zoom lenses offer the greatest
functionality once installed as the
focal length can be remotely
adjusted from the comfort of the
control room. This means that a
single lens can be used to view a
wide area and if an intruder should
be detected the zoom function will
allow facial details and other
identifying features to be captured.
F STOP
The light gathering speed of the
lens is expressed as an F-stop
number. This literally means the
amount of light captured by the
lens in a given period of time; the
lower the F-stop range, the more
light that can be transmitted. Low
F-stop lenses are suitable for low
light operation.

'F' STOPS
The F number is an indication of the amount of light that will be passed through
a lens. The smaller the F number the more light is passed. The F number is
calculated by dividing the focal length by the effective diameter of the lens.
When you adjust the lens up by one F stop, you halve the light passing through
it. The F stop assumes that there are no losses in the lens.

MIXING C AND CS
CAMERAS & LENSES
The difference between C and CS
mount equipment is the distance
between the flange of the lens
(the part of the case that butts
up against the camera) and the
focal plane of the lens (where the
CCD sensor must be positioned).
This is known as the flange back
distance. On C mount lenses this
is 17.5mm and on CS mount
lenses it is 12.5mm.
Therefore if you have a CS mount
camera and a C mount lens you
can add a 5mm spacer to obtain
the correct focus. If, however, you
have a C mount camera and a CS
mount lens correct focus cannot
be achieved.
Some C mount cameras do allow
you to swap the whole mount
from C to CS or vice versa.
SPOT FILTERS
These increase the working range of a lens and can eliminate Automatic Iris
'Hunting' using a series of darker Neutral Density discs at the iris centre.
Please note: Spot Filters are built into lenses to reduce the sensitivity of the iris
control. As the iris closes down to its smallest size for bright scenes, the
adjustments required are microscopic. Most scenes over 15,000 lux (sunlight)
require an iris closure of 10F stops from a 15 lux scene (a range available on many
lenses). Noon sunlight can range up to 1 million lux requiring an iris range of 16F
stops. The 2nd 'F' stop figure quoted relates to the effective filtered F' stops at
iris closure.

TAPE MANAGEMENT
A consideration of tape based recording is that of tape
management. There are recommended guidelines to the
number of times a video cassette can be used before
they will start breaking up (deionizing) and start
clogging the heads. This causes the quality of recording
to degrade every time the tape passes through the
VCR. Tape storage is also an important consideration.
Applications where recordings may be submitted as
evidence will need to be properly stored in a lockable
box. Also, the amount of tapes required in some larger
installations take up a lot of space and need to be
properly managed. A suitable tape lock box is the Vista
VTD31 on page 79.

LITE RANGE OF VCRS
The Vista Lite VCR is designed to be functional, reliable yet maintaining a low
cost in keeping with our other Vista Lite products. It has many advanced features,
which wouldnt normally be found in VCRs that are designed for the systems
market.
Its RS232 connectivity allows it to be controlled by our Vista Generation3
multiplexer, which means that the user can house the VCR in a locked cupboard
or another secure room.
Serial connection allows multiple VCRs to be connected so when a pre-designated
time is reached or the tape ends the next unit starts recording. As with other
Vista Lite applications, the VVRL is ideal for smaller installations where budget
must take precedence, but without compromising quality and reliability.

Multiple VVR recorders can be linked together via a serial connection. This
gives the option for one unit to start recording the moment the tape
finished in the other, aiding effective tape management.
If you are looking for the ultimate functionality in VCR recording then look
no further. The VVR range consists of 3 VCRs which can cope with even the

UNDERSTANDING
MULTIPLEXERS
Until the late 1980s, users of multicamera systems with the
requirement to record CCTV
pictures for evidential purposes
faced a high cost (one VCR per
camera) as well as a significant
workload in the management of the
large number of videotapes
produced.
The development of timelapse
VCRs (see page 32) and video
multiplexers enabled the recording
of the output of multi-cameras
(typically up to 16) on to a single
videotape and the display of a
number of these cameras on to a
monitor. This enabled an operator
to view several areas
simultaneously and then select an
individual view for more detailed
analysis.
SIMPLEX
ALARM HANDLING
DUPLEX
BUILT-IN TELEMETRY
DEVELOPMENTS
The use of multiplexers has
expanded rapidly and developed
into two main streams:
TRIPLEX
ACTIVITY DETECTION
Advanced multiplexers are able to
analyse picture content from
individual cameras and detect
scene changes such as people
movement.
This movement detection can be
used to prioritise which cameras
will be recorded and how
frequently.
NETWORKING
Complex sites may include large
numbers of cameras, multiple
control points, significant
distances across the site and
incorporate high-speed domes and
video transmission.
Advanced multiplexers incorporate
RS232 and/or RS485 data ports
for remote control and system
integration.

PVP:
A non Parallel Video Processor (PVP) multiplexer has only
one encoder. This means that due to the way video signals
are made up, it takes 20 milli-seconds to read the video
signal and a further 20 milli-seconds to output this signal
(giving a total of 40 milli-seconds). This means that the
number of unique fields that it can process in a signal
second is 25.
A multiplexer with PVP has two encoders which operate
independently; one can read video signal whilst the other is
outputting video signal. This effectively halves the workload
of the encoders ensuring that a maximum of 50 unique
fields can be processed in a signal second. This ultimately
improves live video refresh and record rates.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
Remember, that the more cameras per
multiplexer and the larger the timelapse
speed, the greater the chance of missing
events.

1. UPDATE SPEED
This is how frequently
images update. The nearer
to real-time
the better. Typically,
faster update speed
machines are relatively
more expensive.
3. ABILITY TO DISPLAY
FULL SCREEN
Low-end Quads often only
record and display in quad
format. The facility to
also display single camera
pictures from playback is
useful and normally
found in the more
sophisticated machines.
2. RESOLUTION
Generally the higher the
resolution of the unit the
clearer the images will be
desplayed.

Auto Install
The Columbus unit will automatically
scan all the video inputs on initial power
up. Inputs will then be assigned colour
or monochrome depending upon input
type. If video signals are not present on
all inputs, then the appropriate inputs
will be automatically disabled. The
Columbus unit will always return to the
mode it was in when down powered.
Upon initial power up the unit will
automatically go into record mode. Thus
making installation quick and easy with
minimal program setting requirements
in order to get a basic system
operational.
Input scanning
The Triplex Columbus unit scans every
field automatically in order to assign the
video input channels as colour or
monochrome. This feature ensures that
all models of switch-able colour /
monochrome camera are compatible
with the unit.
Record Lock
From within the Columbus main menu a
record lock can be activated. The only
way to stop recording is to switch off
the record lock from within the menu,
before stopping recording from the
front keyboard.
Motion locality is indicated during setup. All the zones with activity that
exceeds current sensitivity setting are
highlighted for the time that the
sensitivity is exceeded.
VMD set-up can also now be done via
WaveReader software over an Ethernet
network.
Future Proof - Up-gradable
Triplex Columbus units are available
in single or dual hard disk variants.
Single hard disk units can be upgraded
to incorporate another internal hard
disk at a later date, if so desired.
Norbains workshop services are able
to provide upgrades.
Flash
It is now possible to flash upgrade
Triplex Columbus units over an
Ethernet network from a remotely
connected PC, utilising internet
explorer browser software. When

PVD COLOUR
MONITOR RANGE
UP TO 750 TVL RESOLUTION
The Vista Protos PVD range of colour monitors have been designed to offer high
resolution and premium colour fidelity to meet the most demanding of surveillance
installations. Available in 10", 14", 15", 17"and 21" screen sizes, with an attractive
industrial chassis, these monitors provide high resolution images, with SVHS and
audio facility, to fulfil most security requirements. A wide ranging switch mode power
supply and dual standard (PAL or NTSC) has been incorporated, permitting the
flexability of worldwide use, supplied as standard with Euro or UK mains leads.
PVD10DB
Providing a standard resolution of 350TVL, the PVD10B incorporates composite and
Y/C (S-VHS) video inputs as standard. Supplied with both UK & Euro mains leads,
operating between 98 & 260V AC and PAL / NTSC operation, has lead to the
PVD10DB being an extremely popular choice, for standard resolution colour CCTV
installations, where cost has become a concern.
PVD1000DG
With a phenomenally high resolution of 750 TV Lines, this model is considered best in
class. With a charcoal grey metal case, this monitor offers Y/C and composite video
inputs, a switchable power supply to allow operation between 110 and 260V AC and
dual standards supporting both NTSC and PAL, permitting use worldwide.
PVD1400DG/B OR L
Again, with a resolution of 750 TV Lines, this model is one of the contenders for the
most superior picture quality in the marketplace today. Available in charcoal grey,
black or cream and protective metal cases, these monitors offer the same advanced
features of the PVD1000DG.
PVD1500DGe
With a dot pitch of 0.28 and a resolution of 750TVL, the PVD1500DGe is a truly
outstanding monitor with exceptional picture quality. Easy set-up is achieved via a
multi-lingual OSD and with underscan facility, the PVD1500DGe is the professional
security installer's monitor of choice for a multitude of applications.
APPLICATIONS
Control rooms
Retail parks
Industrial sites
Town centre schemes
PVD1700DG
With 750TVL resolution and large
17" display, incorporating all the
advanced features of the
PVD1400DG, the PVD1700DG is
ideally suited for use with
multiplexer and digital multiplex
recorders, but is at home in any
application where a large CRT
display is required.
PVD2100DG
This model was specifically
designed for use in control rooms
and for display purposes such as
the entrance point of retail
environments or railway station
concourses. Sharing the same style
industrial casing, this monitor is
available in black, incorporating
two Y/C and two composite video
and audio inputs plus underscan
functionality.
It offers a resolution of 550 TV
Lines, providing excellent picture
clarity.

EXTERNAL HOUSINGS
VSCMH250
KEY FEATURES
VCMHF
Marine finish
These stylish housings have been thoughtfully designed, so not
only do they look good, but they are also very easy to fit and
service. They have been made to the highest standards and
conform to European and British standards IP66. They are pretreated with a weatherproof epoxy coating, ensuring that they
are fully protected making them ideal for demanding
environments, such as saline and coastal applications.
Furthermore, the protective coating prevents damage caused by
UV radiation, ensuring the paint finish retains its appearance
over a much longer period of time.
Each casing has an integral heater and thermostat to monitor
changes in weather conditions, while a separate aluminium sun
shield also ensures that the housing is kept cool when the
temperature rises. The housings also incorporate an integral
bracket through which the cables can be fed ensuring a more
secure installation, but also one that is aesthetically pleasing.
The VCMH bracket provides totally discreet cable management
whereas the VSCMH bracket offers a semi-discreet solution.
They also feature a slide and hang servicing facility. The top of
the housing, when unsecured, slides forward and then hangs
below the housing body giving you maximum accessibility to the
camera inside, without removing the sunshield. The full and
easy access to the camera and lens enables final adjustments,
such as focusing and subsequent servicing. There are also flat
sided versions available, to provide an alternative in design
aesthetics.

LOCKABLE BOXES
ADDED SECURITY FOR CRITICAL CCTV EQUIPMENT AND VIDEO
TAPES
At the heart of any mid to high end CCTV system will be either a multiplexer
and VCR, or Digital Video Recorder, which could become the target of an
attack by criminals or subject to tampering. To combat this threat the Vista
VLB range of lockable boxes has been developed to a high specification,
allowing access to control equipment when unlocked, but a safe and secure
environment when locked.
The VTD31 unit allows both the safe storage of video tapes, as well as the
effective management of up to 31 video cassettes.
All Vista lockable boxes are built to the highest standards. Designed for
their specific operations, they offer the correct level of ventilation and
space for equipment and wiring.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
AUTO IRIS (AI)
An electronic circuit fitted to the iris of a lens to
help compensate for large changes in light
levels.
ALARM SEARCH
Search criteria, e.g. time, date etc. used to
detect alarms from CCTV input signals.
AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL (ALC)
On auto iris lenses, also known as peak/average
control. Adjusting this control allows the auto
iris circuitry to either take bright spots more
into consideration (peak), bringing out the detail
in bright areas, or less into consideration
(average) bringing out detail in shadows.
ANALOGUE
A signal in which any level is represented by a
directly proportional voltage not digital.
ANGLE OF VIEW
This is what alters (not the focal length) when
you use a lens designed for one format on
another format. It decreases with format size.
APERTURE
The opening of a lens, a measure of its light
gathering capability. Relative aperture is a ratio
between its focal length and effective aperture,
measured in F numbers, generally the lower the
better.
ARCHIVE
Automated process to back-up information from
the hard disk.
AUTO WHITE BALANCE
A feature on a colour camera whereby the light
is constantly monitored and adjusts the colour
to maintain the white areas.
BACK FOCUS
The mechanical aligning of the imaging device
with the focal point of the lens. Most important
on zoom lenses is to ensure the image stays in
focus throughout the zoom range.
BACK LIGHT COMPENSATION (BLC)
A feature of modern CCD cameras which
electronically compensates for high background
lighting to give detail which would normally be
silhouetted.
BNC
Video connector (the most commonly used in
CCTV).
BST/GMT
British Summertime / Greenwich Meantime.
CCIR (COMITE CONSULTATIF
INTERNATIONAL DES
RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS)
The European TV standard 625 lines 50 fields.
C MOUNT
Long established industrial standard for
connecting cameras and lenses, widely used in

New standard for connecting cameras and
lenses. It has a shorter penetration into the
camera, needed for many modern CCD designs.
DAT
Digital Audio Tape.
DIRECT DRIVE (DD)
An auto iris requiring a DC reference from
camera rather than the traditional video
reference.
DECODED
The result of receiving information in a coded
form then transferring it into a useable medium.
DEPTH OF FIELD
The area of acceptable focus for an image. The
wider you set the aperture of a lens the lower
the depth of field becomes.
DVMS
Digital Video Management System.
EVENT
External alarm triggers recorded by a VCR
running in timelapse mode.
E180HQ
Denotes a 3 hour, high quality video cassette
high quality in that there is reduced oxidisation
on the heads offering increased picture quality
and longevity of tape usage.
E240HQ
Denotes a 4 hour, high quality video cassette (as
above).
ELECTRONIC IRIS (EI)
Automatically varies a CCD cameras shutter to
mimic auto iris control, allowing fixed or manual
iris lens to be used in a wider range of areas.
EIA (Electronic Industry Association)
US TV standard 525 lines in 60 fields.
ENCODED
Transferred information in a coded form to a
medium.
EXT. SYNC (EXTERNAL SYNC)
The ability of CCTV equipment (normally
cameras), to accept one or more of the
standard sync formats so as to align itself to
the rest of the system.
FIELD
One half of a frame, consisting of either the odd
or the even numbered lines. 50 fields are
transmitted every second.
FRAME
One complete TV picture made up of
approximately 625 lines. 25 frames are
transmitted every second.
GALVANOMETRIC (GALVOMETRIC)
One method of converting the small electric
currents produced by auto iris circuits into
physical movement of the iris diaphragm. Used
in both auto iris and direct drive lenses.
GIGABYTE (GB)
One billion bytes or characters of information.
HARD DISK
The non-removable disk in a computer. The disk
stores data and information to be used on a PC.
HOLIDAY CODE
A VCR timer feature that allows you to assign
the Sunday timer settings to up to 20 week
days per year. Normally used for Bank holidays.
INTERLEAVING
Method used with alarms or activity detection
which allows extra frames of video from
alarmed cameras to be added to a time
multiplexed sequence whilst a state of alarm
exists.
IRIS (IRIS DIAPHRAGM)
Adjustable diaphragm that regulates the
amount of light passing through a lens.
JPEG (JOINT PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERT
GROUPS)
A compression technique which has been widely
used in the Security Industry.
LUX
Metric measures of the light striking a surface.
The light available on that surface depends on
how reflective it is.
MACRO
Feature allowing you to pre-programme
frequently used system configurations for
selection by a single keystroke or optionally by
alarm inputs.
MEGABYTE (MB)
One million bytes or characters of information.
MPEG (MOVING PICTURE EXPERT GROUPS)
A compression technique which has been widely
used in entertainment media.
MULTIPLEX (TIME MULTIPLEX)
Using one carrier to send more than one signal.
In video multiplexers, achieving this by sending
a different cameras output in each successive
field or frame of a video signal, in a form that
can later be retrieved as single camera pictures.
