XProtect Central Server 3. 6 w Client/Server based architecture uses HTTP and XML for data communication. w Support for multiple XProtect Corporate Management and Recording servers can be distributed across different sites. w Support for multiple XProtect Enterprise Master and Slave servers in several remote locations. w Supports the same video encodings as the XProtect recording servers, including H. 264 w Central logging of incoming alarms and system information in MS SQL Server Express database. w The Central Server runs as a Windows Service. 15

Interface and Navigation Features w Graphical overview of operational status and alarms from XProtect Corporate and Enterprise servers, network cameras, and external devices like PIR and access control units. w Easy navigation using a map-based, hierarchical structure with hyperlinks to other maps displaying servers, cameras and devices. Optional tree view available for accessing the same entities. w Visible/audible alarm and status indications for maps, servers, cameras and devices give instant notification of active incidents. 16

XProtect Central Client 3. 6 w Show, hide and scale interface elements to match operator requirements for assigned tasks. 17

Alarm Management 1(2) w Detailed alarm overview with navigation tree offering filtering by entity, state or priority including incident counters for each state and priority. w Show and filter incoming alarms on time period, alarm source, ownership, priority and alarm state. w 12 alarm states available: New, Open, Assigned, In progress, Processed, Resolved, Reject, Wait, On hold, Ignore, Closed and Auto Closed. w 6 user-defined alarm priorities with customizable priority names and colors allow the organization to work with its own terminology and color scheme. 18

Alarm Management 2(2) w Incident management includes reassignment to other operators, change of state for one/multiple/all alarms, change of alarm priority, entering incident-specific log information and suppression of alarms (snooze). w Preview, view live or play back recorded video from one or several cameras at alarms. w Auto close alarms on corresponding event, e. g. motion stopped. w Set bookmarks in video for use in Alarm details and corresponding printed incident reports. w Generate audit trail reports including bookmarked images by incident. 19

Operations Management w Enable and disable monitoring of specific servers to avoid false alarms from equipment that is down for longtime maintenance. w Acknowledge or suppress operational status messages for either a pre-defined period of time or for a fixed time, e. g. on scheduled maintenance or by operator shift. w Multiple operators are able to share the alarm workload from the system. 20

System Configuration 1(3) w Enter DNS names or IP addresses for server connectivity. w Authenticate as Microsoft Active Directory accounts to access XProtect Corporate , Enterprise and Professional servers. w Log in to XProtect Enterprise and Professional servers using built-in accounts. w Create multi-level maps with servers, cameras and external objects. w Trigger alarms by events from servers, cameras or external devices and pre-assign them with priority, operator, optional display of live video on remote monitor and link to related cameras. w Supported events*: Archive Disk Available, Archive Failure, Archive Move Failure, Database being repaired, Camera or Server Disabled/Enabled, External Event, Motion Detected/Ended, Camera or Server Not Responding/Responding and Running Out of Disk Space, Output Activated/Deactivated, Setting Changed Error *) Actual list of events depends on version of XProtect platform. 21

System Configuration 2(3) w Import Microsoft Active Directory users and groups for operator authentication and authorization. w Define role-based groups and assign operators to these to achieve different access rights by type or camera. w Enhanced event diagnostics offer tracing and verification of the alarm configuration by optionally saving all incoming events from XProtect servers in a log file on the XProtect Central Server. w Create navigation section folders to group Alarm definitions, Alarm time profiles and Servers in a hierarchical structure. w Use Time profiles for engaging Alarm definitions within predefined time schedules as an alternative to those creating alarms around the clock. 22

System Configuration 3(3) w Alarm cleanup changes state for all alarms under a specific Alarm definition, or permanently delete them from the database – reduces the number of false alarms in connection with badly adjusted motion detection. w Plug-in support for third-party systems enables gates, access control units and other external entities to appear in XProtect Central for alarm management and operation. w Auto-detection of video destination provides seamless support for XProtect Matrix Monitor and XProtect Smart Client with Matrix plug-in. w Trigger Custom events from XProtect Central to feedback rule engagement in the XProtect Corporate Server. w Start video previewing a number of seconds before the triggering event occurred. This allows the operator to see what happened right up to the event. 23

Key Benefits w Increased operation efficiency and quality, especially of integrated and larger surveillance installations w Empowerment of surveillance operators w Improves the performance and availability of the Video Management System w Reduced system management cost of large and multisite systems 24

Key Features w Consolidated graphical overview of operational status and alarms w Hierarchical multi-level maps for easy overview and navigate to specific incident’s locations w Instant access and control of camera devices for visual verification of alarms w Advanced alarm framework enables structured and prioritized management of alarms and incidents w Open solution which enables integration of a broad set of external systems, devices and sensors w Supports XProtect Corporate, Enterprise and Professional, and any combination of theses, including multisite configurations 25
