Types of Servers, Workstations
All computers connected to SecurOS network are divided into three main categories: application
server, administrator workstation and operator workstation. There is also a video server as a particular
application server responsible for video stream receiving and recording, equipped with video capture
card (cards).
www.isscctv.com
SecurOS

Installation Guide
Application Server
Application server is a computer that is responsible for supporting and controlling specific part of the
security network. Security hardware like CCTV cameras, video capture cards, audio capture cards,
alarm controllers, fire alarm and access control subsystem, as well as intelligent modules (license
plate recognition etc.) should be installed in or connected to application server units to be operable in
security network for proper security network functioning.
Each server with proper settings has administration capabilities, i. e. entire SecurOS network can
be configured from this server equipped with display. To use an additional machine for remote
administration, install system with administrator workstation configuration (see below). To connect
to any of the servers remotely from any other computer within network domain, configure access to
the server through Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection using RDP protocol.
Video Server
Video server is an application server, equipped with video capture card (cards) and designed to receive
video from connected CCTV and IP network cameras.
Operator workstation is a client computer connected to SecurOS network, designed to remotely view
digital video from either analog CCTV camera (via video server) or IP cameras, listen to audio, send
commands to remote control PTZ devices, doors, to monitor access control and fire alarm systems,
etc.
Administrator Workstation
Administrator workstation is a client computer similar to operator workstation. It has additional
administration interface to configure SecurOS network, meaning this:
• To create and configure objects
• To delete existing objects
• To modify the objects currently created and working in the system

Installation Guide
Modular Structure
Modular structure implements the following options:
• installation of specific modules (such as license plate recognition engines, modules for supporting third-party access control and fire alarm hardware) to the SecurOS network to extent its
functionality.
• Application server software automatically decides, which modules and subsystems must be loaded
to establish the highest productivity. This depends on system configuration.

Please follow these steps to ensure proper system deployment:
• Plan the entire security system.
functions on each specific server.
Estimate the number of servers and workstation, specify
• Check system requirements for each server and workstation of the security network. Note that
system requirements depend on the number of functions, and each subsystem (video, audio, access control, etc.) introduces its own requirements. Select the particular hardware and software
configuration on each server and workstation in accordance with their system requirements.
• Install requested hardware (video capture cards, Guardant keys, other devices) on each server.
Connect external hardware (controllers, cameras, microphones, etc.).
• Connect all servers and workstations into single TCP/IP network.
• Install SecurOS software on each client/server.
We will describe each step in the following paragraphs.
Planning the System
The security system should be planned reasonably prior to purchasing it. The maximum amount of
application servers, video servers, operator and administrator workstations, as well as the amount
of plug-in SecurOS modules per server and within entire SecurOS network, should be determined
precisely, since the same numbers are stated in the license key file. Consult your system installer
to optimize the SecurOS network components for the highest possible performance, scalability and
optimal price-functionality ratio.
Before deploying SecurOS, decide, how many application servers, video servers, operator workstations
and administrator workstations are needed. Below is some sample estimation:
1. The number of video servers depends on how many cameras have to be installed on the security
object. To be precise, one should consider the total amount of fps (frames per second) parameter.
For example, if one plan to have 16 cameras with 12 fps each, total fps would be 16 × 12 = 192.
We recommend 200 fps per server as a good ratio. Hi-end configuration video servers can handle
up to 400 fps. For example, there are 40 cameras with real-time frame rate of 25 fps, the total
fps will be 800. This means that one need 4 video servers (or 2 high-end video servers). For
more information on video server performance see Appendix C: Technical Data on page 62.
www.isscctv.com
SecurOS
13
Installation Guide
Deploying System
2. The number of application servers (except video servers) is determined on what other non-video
features the planning SecurOS network should control.
If the CPU load within typical usage of the video servers is less than 50%, then additional
modules like license plate recognition, access control, etc. can be installed. The resulting total
CPU load on any server must not exceed 75%. Otherwise, dispatch these features to separate
application server for higher load balancing.
Typically, one application server can work with access control system (ACS), fire alarm and
alarm subsystems simultaneously. However, intelligent recognition modules like license plate
recognition (LPR), face recognition, etc. require separate servers to run on.
Note: For detailed technical information about recommended configurations for intelligent modules, see
corresponding module User Guide.
Additional servers called video concentrators would be required to reduce network load or view
video from remote networks (see Playback Video from Remote Network on page 15 for more
information).
3. The number of operator workstations depends on how many operators will monitor entire system. Note that providing too much video stream to an operator will drastically reduce her/his
efficiency. To roughly estimate the number of workstations, we recommend 8 cameras per
workstation so each operator would control up to 8 cameras. Also add specific workstations for
ACS/Fire Alarm/Alarm monitoring, for LPR monitoring, etc.
4. Any application server or video server can be used for administration purposes. However, some
configurations may include a remote administrator workstation. Administrator workstation is
necessary when none of the application servers or video servers is equipped with display, or if
all of these servers are planned to be loaded at their maximum.
Standalone Configuration
This setup may be used for mid-size applications. Here the server acts as an administrator and
operator workstation. This configuration does not require the server to be connected to any network
(standalone mode).

Playback Video from Remote Network
A video concentrator has to be used to watch video remotely, when the security system is dispatched
between several local TCP/IP networks connected through a low-bandwidth channel. Video concentrator is an application server that collects video streams from remote network and distributes them
to multiple operator workstations within its local network (see figure 4).
Figure 4: Watching video from remote network
In the following diagram (see figure 5), normally operator workstations connect to each video server
individually and receive copies of video streams. When video concentrator is deployed within SecurOS
network (see figure 6), it gathers video streams from specified servers and gives them to multiple
workstations, reducing video server and network load.

Installing Hardware
Below we provide information on installing hardware and some tips for installing third-party hardware,
such as cameras, PTZ devices, controllers. For detailed information on installing third-party hardware
consult their manufacturer’s manuals. You can also find some useful tips in Appendix E: Third-party
Hardware Installation on page 70.
Installing Guardant Key
Guardant key is an electronic device permanently connected to a computer via USB port. Protected
software communicates to the key to check necessary license information. The key should be installed
for all computers of the SecurOS network, except for servers equipped with video capture cards
(which act as hardware license keys), and operator workstations. The required number of Guardant
keys will be provided on purchasing SecurOS. The key should be installed before the SecurOS software
installation on each server/workstation, and should be never removed afterwards.
To install Guardant key:
1. Install Guardant drivers (see Installing Guardant Drivers on page 19). After driver installation
restart the operating system, if necessary.
2. Plug the key into any free (not used) USB port. Make sure the key light indicator is on. It
means that the driver installation is correct, the key is electrically intact and recognized by
Windows OS.
Installing Guardant Drivers
Note: Manual Guardant drivers installation may be required if the Server Application installation
type was chosen. In other cases, the drivers will be installed automatically.

Installing Video Capture Cards
Warning! Before installing the video capture cards, unplug the computer from the mains (power
supply) to prevent the risk of electric shock and damage to the computer’s components!
Open the computer case and make sure there are empty PCI slots available (see figure 8).
Figure 8: Installing the video capture card
Take your video capture card.
Note: There are several types of video capture cards supplied with SecurOS (see Appendix B: Video
Capture Cards on page 46 for detailed characteristics), but all of them have two main connectors: PCI
bus connector and external communication cable connector (see figure 9), and all should be installed the
same way as described further.
Figure 9: Connectors on the video capture card
www.isscctv.com
SecurOS
22
Installation Guide
Deploying System
Orient your card such that the PCI connector is facing the empty PCI slot on the mainboard. Carefully press the card down into the PCI slot so that the connector completely fits in the slot. The
communication cable connector should now be visible and accessible from the back of the computer
case.
Warning! We do not recommend to insert video capture cards into adjacent extension slots (no
matter of their type: AGP, PCI or PCI-Express) with other video capture cards or other cards
that are already installed into your system unit (i. e. video adapter) to avoid overheating. Try
to put the cards as far away from each other as possible.
Then secure the video capture card with the screw. Check that the card is not bent. Repeat all these
steps for any additional card to be installed. Finally, close the computer case cover. Before proceeding
to next steps, plug the power cord back and boot your computer. If it fails, consult the Troubleshooting
section below. Then turn the power off again and disconnect the power cord.
I have installed my TVISS1/TVISS4/etc. PCI expansion card (cards), but my computer does not
boot up. What can I do?
• Check that the mainboard is in the list of supported hardware. See Mainboards on page 72 for
a list of tested mainboards.
• Remove the power supply cord from the system unit, remove all newly installed PCI expansion
cards, reconnect the power supply and try to boot your computer once again. If it boots correctly,
proceed to next step. Otherwise, contact your system installer for further assistance.
• Remove the power supply cord from the system unit, install just one (any) expansion card,
reconnect your power supply and turn the computer on. If the computer boots up correctly,
repeat this step for each card you should install. Otherwise, proceed to next step.
• Try to re-install the problematic card to any other spare PCI slot. If the card works at the new
location, the problem might be either there is bad contact for that PCI slot (physical defects,
bending, etc.) or some other defects with mainboard. We recommend you to vacuum clean the
PCI slot, install the card gently and try to boot up again. If the problem persists, contact your
system installer.
Connecting CCTV Video Cameras
First connect the video communication cable to the corresponding connector of the video capture card,
located on the back of the computer case. Cable should be secured tightly with two screws located on
the connector. Each cable has several BNC connectors to connect cameras to it. All these connectors
are numbered for convenience (see figure 10).
Now connect cameras to BNC connectors. Cameras should support either PAL or NTSC signal mode.
Note: For higher performance and picture quality we recommend to purchase good quality cameras from
known manufacturers, as well as quality video cables and BNC connectors.

Connecting Network Video Hubs and IP-cameras
SecurOS supports VideoHub and LinuxHub (network video hubs developed by ISS Company) as well
as third-party network video hubs and IP cameras. These devices are connected directly to the
TCP/IP network of the security system infrastructure. However, each networking device will be
linked virtually to a corresponding video server during SecurOS setup (see SecurOS Administration
Guide). As separate network devices, they must be configured to have unique IP addresses for proper
functioning. Please consult corresponding manufacturer’s manuals to ensure their proper installation
and maintenance.
Connecting PTZ Devices (Dome Cameras)
SecurOS provides integration with practically all types of PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) devices (see PTZ
Devices on page 74 for a full list of supported devices). PTZ cameras (also known as dome cameras)
are CCTV cameras combined with PTZ controllers.
There are digital and analog PTZ cameras. The procedure of digital PTZ cameras deployment is
similar to most IP cameras (see Connecting Network Video Hubs and IP-cameras on page 23). The
procedure of analog PTZ cameras deployment consists of the following three steps (see figure 11):
1. Connecting PTZ camera as normal CCTV camera to the video server using video cable with
BNC connector.
2. Connecting camera’s PTZ controller with separate control cabling to computer’s serial port via
RS232 and/or associated to RS485 converter.
Analog PTZ devices communicate through RS422/RS485 interface. To connect the device to
the video server, an RS422/RS485-to-RS232 converter is required (see figure 12). DIP-switches
on the converter should be set to DCE and T-RTS/R-ON.
The PTZ device uses a converter with a four-wire cabling: one pair to receive and another one
to transmit. Thus, T+ (1) and T– (2) from the converter should be connected to R+ and R–
contacts of the PTZ device respectively.
3. Setting unique RS485 ID (address defined by DIP switches) for each PTZ device. Please refer
to the manufacturer’s manuals for detailed information on this procedure.

If you need to install additional PCI audio board, please consult the section Installing Video Capture
Cards on page 21, since the procedure of installing PCI devices is the same. Next, connect your
microphones to the audio board Line In jack (Green colored). Video capture cards can be also used
for audio input (see Appendix B: Video Capture Cards on page 46 for more information on their audio
interfacing).
Notification Subsystem
Install additional PCI audio board if necessary. Connect active speakers to the audio board Line Out
jack or use Speaker Out jack for pre-amplified signal for passive speakers or earphones. Consult
your audio board manual for more information. Plug your voice modem to free (not used) serial
communication port. Install its drivers.

Access Control/Alarm/Fire Alarm Subsystems
Controllers for access control/alarm/fire alarm systems are connected to application server via several
ways depending on the type of controller:
• directly on serial port
• on RS485 interface, the procedure is the same as for analog PTZ cameras via RS232-to-RS485
converter (see Connecting PTZ Devices (Dome Cameras) on page 23).
• to be plugged in the TCP/IP network (please consult the manufacturer’s manual for detailed
information on particular hardware).
Connecting All Computers into Single TCP/IP Network
If constructing security network is planned to have more than one server, all your computers should
be connected to TCP/IP network (either LAN — local-area network or WAN — wide-area network).
LAN network usually uses high-speed protocol like Ethernet over the twisted pair (at 10 Mbps,
100 Mbps or 1 Gbps speeds). The higher speed, the better performance you will have, especially for
watching remote video. If your network uses high-speed protocol, you might consider the scheme
described in the Video Surveillance Center on page 14 example.
WAN network, on the contrary, covers a relatively large geographical area and involves at least two or
more LANs interconnected with some public network like telephone line, leased line, etc. The speed
of interconnection lines is much less than inside LAN networks. If you plan to watch video from one
LAN network on the operator workstations of the other LAN part, we recommend you to choose the
case described in Playback Video from Remote Network on page 15 example.
Having your network infrastructure deployed, you must physically connect all the computers, on which
you plan to install SecurOS application servers and workstations, to this network.
Note: Each single computer of your future security network (no matter what physical network topology
you have, LAN or WAN) should be accessible by its own unique IP address before you install SecurOS
software.
To test the computer visibility from within the network, do the following:
• Turn on the computer and wait for Windows operating system to load.
• Open command-line console via Start → Run → cmd command.
• Enter ipconfig command and see the output. You should see the computer’s IP address in
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX format. Note it somewhere.
• From any other computer on your network, open command-line console and enter the following
command: ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (IP address from the previous step). If successful, you
will see that four attempts of pinging are performed correctly within several milliseconds (see
time<Nms string for each ping request).

Connecting TVISSx-02 Board to TVISS8IO
To connect to the TVISSx-02 boards, use the J10 connector (see figure 46) and the interface cable
shipped with the board. Orient cable’s red wire with the pin 1 marked with triangle. Then connect
the other end of the cable to TVISSx-02 board following the same orientation rule.
Connecting Two TVISS8IO Boards in A Cascade Way
Two TVISS8IO boards can be connected in a cascade way using J11 connector (see figures 47 and 48):
second TVISS8IO connects to the first one in the same way as the first one connects to TVISSx-02.
Configuring Digital Inputs and Outputs
Every input has two triggering stages. The first stage triggers under the current ∼3 mA (actuates
at 3.2 mA, releases at 2.8 mA), the second stage triggers under the current ∼4.2 mA (actuates at
4.4 mA, releases at 4.0 mA). The normal state of a security loop is when the first stage has been
triggered while the second one has not. This behavior is achieved by passing 3.6 mA current through
the loop. Given 24 V from internal power supply, 2 KOhm fixed resistor and 3 KOhm security loop
internal resistance, current can be adjusted with an additional potentiometer of 2K2 nominal value.
TVISS8IO board has 8 input contact pairs. Each contact pair can be configured via corresponding
J2–J9 jumper blocks (see figure 49). If you put jumpers to 1–3 and 2–4 positions, the current will
be given to the corresponding input contact pairs. If you short-circuit 3–5 and 4–6 positions, two
poles of sensor elements will become commuted to the input contact pairs.
INNx and INPx contact pairs (as shown on figure 50) can be used in any polarity.

Installation Guide
Figure 47: Cascading connection scheme
Figure 49: J2–J9 jumper blocks configuration sample
TVISS8IO board has 8 digital output contact pairs OUT 0–OUT 7. OUT 0 and OUT 1 contact pairs
can have both normally closed contacts and normally open contacts, while others can have normally
opened contacts only. You can use OUT 0 and OUT 1 to arrange a power source for loops that require
variable polarity.
Every output can control the current of 50 mA under the voltage of 35 V. The outputs are marked:
• OUTxC — normally opened output collector.
• OUTxE — normally opened output emitter.
• OUTxCN — normally closed output collector.
• OUTxEN — normally closed output emitter.
Two sample schemes for normally closed and normally opened sensors (sensor loops) are shown on
