C. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.2 PREPARATION
B. Measure each ceiling area and establish layout of linear metal pans to balance border
widths at opposite edges of each ceiling. Avoid using less-than-half-width pans at
borders, and comply with layout shown on reflected ceiling plans.
B. General: Install linear metal ceilings to comply with ASTM C 636 and seismic
requirement indicated, per manufacturer's written instructions and CISCA's "Ceiling

2. Splay hangers only where required to miss obstructions; offset resulting horizontal
forces by bracing, countersplaying, or other equally effective means.
3. Where width of ducts and other construction within plenum produces hanger
spacings that interfere with location of hangers at spacings required to support
standard suspension system members, install supplemental suspension members
and hangers in form of trapezes or equivalent devices. Size supplemental
suspension members and hangers to support ceiling loads within performance
limits established by referenced standards and publications.
4. Secure wire hangers to ceiling suspension members and to supports above with a
minimum of three tight turns. Connect hangers directly to structures or to inserts,
eye screws, or other devices that are secure and appropriate for substrate and that

framing members, by attaching to inserts, eye screws, or other devices that are
secure and appropriate for both structure to which hangers are attached and type of
hanger involved. Install hangers in a manner that will not cause them to deteriorate
or fail due to age, corrosion, or elevated temperatures.
6. Do not support ceilings directly from permanent metal forms or floor deck. Fasten
hangers to cast-in-place hanger inserts, postinstalled mechanical or adhesive
anchors, or power-actuated fasteners that extend through forms into concrete.
7. Do not attach hangers to steel deck tabs.
8. Do not attach hangers to steel roof deck. Attach hangers to structural members.

and where necessary to conceal edges and ends of linear metal pans.
1. Screw attach moldings to substrate at intervals not more than 400 mm o.c. and not
more than 75 mm from ends, leveling with ceiling suspension system to a tolerance

F. Install suspension system carriers so they are aligned and securely interlocked with one
another. Remove and replace dented, bent, or kinked members.
G. Cut linear metal pans for accurate fit at borders and at interruptions and penetrations by
other work through ceilings. Stiffen edges of cut units as required to eliminate evidence
of buckling or variations in flatness exceeding referenced standards for stretcher-leveled
metal sheet.
H. Install linear metal pans in coordination with suspension system and exposed moldings
and trim.

and hangers in form of trapezes or equivalent devices. Size supplemental
suspension members and hangers to support ceiling loads within performance
limits established by referenced standards and publications.

hanger involved. Install hangers in a manner that will not cause them to deteriorate
- 53 -
or fail due to age, corrosion, or elevated temperatures.

another. Remove and replace dented, bent, or kinked members.
G. Cut linear metal pans for accurate fit at borders and at interruptions and penetrations by
other work through ceilings. Stiffen edges of cut units as required to eliminate evidence
of buckling or variations in flatness exceeding referenced standards for stretcher-leveled
metal sheet.

simultaneously. Each video stream could be decompressed and
played back at the required speed. All video sequences should be
time-synchronized on playback.
3. Storage & Archival
a. Each camera should be recorded for any length of time on a circular

basis. Outdated video should be archived or overwritten or further
compressed and stored. It should allow for intelligently further
compression of the data without significantly reducing video
quality. Records of up to one week on the building unit and one
month on the RAID5 server in central control room should be kept
on the hard disk for immediate accessibility. NVR shall allow
archiving on net work central archive server.

monitor up to 16 camera inputs in real time. Any number of regions
may be selected for motion trigger in any one view. The motion
detector should have three sensitivity levels. Different sensitivity
levels should allow the user to select the required level of motion to
generate triggers. Sensitivity level settings should also be used to
ignore „usual‟ motion such as movement in the leaves, rain etc.
Changes in light conditions should not affect the motion detection.
The robust motion detection algorithm should be only sensitive to
movement reducing false triggers.
6. Networkability
a. NVR to be fully networkable. Any number of units should be

networked over private Ethernet TCP/IP serving a large number of
camera groups in a very flexible way. Any unit on the network may
be remotely accessed and configured using the CCTV software.
Compressed images should be scaled & served on the network,
reducing the demand on network bandwidth.
7. Image Export & Authentication
a. Recorded video should be searched by date, time & events. Clips of

interest from different cameras should be exported onto CD or
DVD. Exported images should be played back on any Windows
machine (98, 98SE, NT or 2000) without installing any software.
All recorded and exported images should be authenticated. The
DVR cum Networked Server should have high security
authentication enabling tampered images being immediately
identified.
8. Time Zones
a. Each time zone should divide the day into 96x15 minute slots or
similar. In each slot, settings like record rate, quality, actions to be
initiated by an ordinary alarm and/or VMD may be defined
individually. Once defined and named, a Time Zone may be used
for any number of cameras on any number of units.
- 140 -
9. PTZ Software & Camera Patrols
a. PTZ software should be provided & should be compatible with the

PTZ cameras & DVR cum Networked Server. Scheduled camera
patrols should not require user intervention. Patrols should not affect
recording & playback.
10. The camera image shall be achieved from each DVR (in each building) to
the RAID5 server in the central control room, the achieving can be
scheduled for all DVR to reduce the load on the LAN.
11. Remote Manager
a. Remote Manager Software solution should connect to the DVR on a

network. It should run on Windows 2000 platform. Review Manager
should search and find the DVR cum Network Server on the
network automatically, and connect to and display any camera from
the server. To preserve valuable network bandwidth, Remote
Manager should receive the images intelligently scaled. The
innovative image scaling should allow the Remote Manager to
achieve video display speeds of up to 25 full screen images per
second (ips) over 100Mbps Ethernet.
12. CCTV INTEGRATION
a. The whole CCTV system shall be managed from the control

locations indicated on Drawings, & shall be integrated with all other
security system.
G. CAMERA LENSES
1. Camera lenses shall be compatible with camera construction and iris

control circuit. The lenses shall be compatible with remote control
devices as specified herein. The lenses shall be supplied by the camera
manufacturer.
- 141 -
2. All lenses shall be auto iris type driven by the camera iris control
circuit. Additionally, all exterior lenses shall be equipped with spot
filters giving the lens a minimum effective aperture of f/360.
3. The Systems Integrator must provide lens to cover area required by the
specifications and drawings.
