securityProbe 5ESV Manual
Updated until firmware 404m
- 103 -
It is configured with the NAND flash on board instead of the SD flash for its main
Operating System memory. But still has the SD flash for extended picture and sound
storage.
Provides better quality video and pictures using the new HD Digital or High Definition
type UMC (Universal Mount Camera) and HD Digital PTDC (Pan Tilt Dome Camera).
The new HD Digital PTDC is IR or night vision capable
The difference between the lower cost SEC-5ES and the SEC-5ESV is the 5ES unit does not
include video where the 5ESV unit does support video and camera motion detection.
23) How long can the HD Digital cameras be extended?
You can extend the HD Digital cameras both the UMC and the PTDC up to 5 meters. You cannot
extend the cable more than 5 meters without active extenders
– See FAQ #6 on the next page.
u) Does the new HD Digital camera have the cable incorporated into it and what is the
length of that cable?
Yes, the HD Digital cameras have the cable that attaches to the 5ESV unit incorporated in the
camera and this cable comes in a 5 meter length.
24) What if I need to extend the cameras further than 5 meters? Can I purchase what I need
from you?
You can use the active cable extenders to extend the run length of the camera cables to 15
meters.
We don‟t currently offer these active extenders, however you should be able to source
these in your local area quite easily.
25) What if I need to extend the cameras further than 15 meters? Can I use the older digital
cameras you offered before that connect to the SEC-5E BNC/RG-6 connectors? Can I use
BNC-to-USB adapters?
We will offer another option so you can order the 5ESV unit with the RG-6 BNC or previous
Digital UMC or PTDC Digital camera inputs instead of the HD Digital camera inputs. This would
then allow the run length of the RG-6 cable to be extended up to 100 meters. You would however
not have the better quality video and pictures that you would get when using the new HD Digital
UMC or HD Digital PTDC.
26) Is this option a separate board or unit similar to your expansion units?
No this is not be a separate module, this is the same unit and case only the main board and back
panel are different to provide the RG-6 BNC Digital camera connection inputs.
27) If I order this option will I be able to connect other types of third party cameras as I did
with my SEC-5E?
Yes, the SEC-5ESV unit with the RG-6 BNC option will continue to support other third party
cameras as long as they use the standard PELCO-D protocol and are within the previous
specifications that worked with the SEC-5E base units.
28) I noticed on the data sheet the 5ESV now ships with 2 expansion ports instead of 4.
Does reducing the expansion ports also reduce the total number of sensors that can be
connected to the SEC-5ESV?
No, the SEC-5ESV unit will still support 500 sensors with the 2 expansion ports.
29) I noticed the the 5ES and 5ESV unit are now shipping without the SD cards inserted in
the slot on the front panel. Did you forget to include them?
No, the units are now shipped as the NAND type setup where the operating system, settings,
sensor data and other information is now stored on board in the NAND flash memory instead of
the SD flash cards.
30) Can I add my own SD flash card to the unit? If so how large can I use and what is then
stored on the SD card?
