Network Camera Input and Output Ports

A unique feature to network cameras and video encoders, in comparison with analog cameras, is their integrated input and output (I/O) ports. These ports enable a network video product to connect to external devices and enable the devices to be manageable over a network.

For example, the DETEXI NVR can be instructed to receive video only when the sensor triggers.
Or a network camera or video encoder connected to an external alarm sensor via its input port can be instructed to FTP video out to the DETEXI NVR FTP Server.

The range of devices that can connect to a network video product’s input port is almost infinite. The basic rule is that any device that can toggle between an open and closed circuit can be connected to a network camera or a video encoder. The main function of a network video product’s output port is to trigger external devices, either automatically or by remote control from an operator or a software application.

The DETEXI NVR can be easily integrated with different mechanical and electronic security devices.

Network camera or video encoder inputs/outputs must be defined in the NVR Control Center — Cameras — Cameras Settings for the NVR to be aware of external devices connected to the IP device inputs/outputs.

External Devices on Outputs

Examples of external devices that can be connected to the Input Port

Device Type	Description	Usage
Door contact	Simple magnetic switch that detects the opening of doors or windows	When the circuit is broken (door is opened), the NVR can take action by sending full-motion video and notifications
Passive infrared detector (PIR)	A sensor that detects motion based on heat emission	When motion is detected, the PIR breaks the circuit and the NVR can take action by sending full-motion video and notifications
Glass break detector	An active sensor that measures air pressure in a room and detects sudden pressure drops (the sensor can be powered by the camera)	When an air pressure drop is detected, the detector breaks the circuit and the NVR can take action by sending full-motion video and notifications

Examples of external devices that can be connected to the Output Port

Device Type	Description	Usage
Door relay	A relay (solenoid) that controls the opening and closing of door locks	The locking/unlocking of an entrance door can be controlled by a remote operator (over a network) using Remote DETEXI Client
Siren	Alarm siren configured to sound when alarm is detected	The NVR can activate the siren when motion is detected either using the built-in VMD or using information from the digital input
Alarm/Intrusion system	An alarm security system that continuously monitors a normally closed or open alarm circuit	The network video product can act as an integrated part of the alarm system that serves as a sensor, enhancing the alarm system with event-triggered video transfers

Add-ons for the DETEXI NVR

In order to get the DETEXI NVR modules that integrate different mechanical and electronic security solutions such as access control devices, building management systems and industrial control systems an appropriate add-on must be installed on the DETEXI NVR (specific license should be purchased):

DETEXI NVR–ISONAS Bridge — Integration of ISONAS IP proximity card reader-controllers solution — dtx-isonas base license
DETEXI IP Audio — Integrated two way audio/gate control module — audio-gate base license
DETEXI ICM — Integrated response to access control information (Paradox panel, I/O PCI Card, Game Port) — access-control base license

The following devices are presently supported —


DETEXI NVR – ISONAS Bridge ISONAS Security Systems manufacture panel-free PowerNet IP card reader-controllers bundled with Crystal Matrix Software, which puts real-time control of all door control functions in the hands of authorized security personnel via the convenience of a PC and standard network. DETEXI NVR-ISONAS Bridge module allows users to interact with both ISONAS and DETEXI NVR in order to show events collected from ISONAS system along with correspondent video clips from the DETEXI NVR.

INTERCOMS DETEXI integrates Digital Acoustics push-to-talk intercoms to provide parking facility communications with remote video monitoring capabilities delivering the timely, accurate information required for effective response. DETEXI software enables multiple operators to simultaneously manage, monitor and communicate on groups of intercoms. Incoming calls are automatically managed based on integrated call queue.

SECURITY PANELS DETEXI integrates Paradox security panels to provide real-time, automated transmission of the detected threat information (video, audio, data) on available networks to a central monitoring station.

SECURITY CARD READERS RBH Access Technologies markets its products worldwide through an international network of security dealers and systems integrators. DETEXI integrates RBH security card reader into a single security management system for modern buildings.
