Systems Overview
DIGIOP® Network Video Recorder (NVR) and Hybrid Digital Video Recorder (hDVR) servers with the DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ video and
data management software feature state-of-the-art management for advanced analog and IP cameras with real-time data capture.
DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ is a seamless suite of video and data intelligence products includes that combine raw video with information
from back-office systems with video analytics. It includes four components:
•
DIGIOP® Connect
- DIGIOP
®
Connect is a remote client that displays both video and data from multiple sources together
in a unified easy-to-use dashboard. The software can be used to view live and recorded video, locally or across a LAN or the
Internet.
•
DIGIOP® Control
- DIGIOP
®
Control is a web-based administration portal that enables you to configure your systems and
manage permissions from anywhere you have Internet access. It allows you to manage your video, data, and user information
across your single- or multi-site system. Controls include: add and configure cameras, set user rights, establish global and local
level permissions for systems, cameras, and data streams. DIGIOP
®
Control also allows you to create groups and auto tours by
customizing your dashboard to improve real time store visibility and performance.
•
DIGIOP® Core
- An extensible video recording platform that provides real-time recording of analog and IP cameras. DIGIOP®
Core manages, records, and stores digital video and images, and controls camera PTZ. It also includes several surveillance
management features including system security and activity logging. Core software can be configured to display live video as
it’s recorded, or to run in the background and archive video data for display using DIGIOP
®
Connect.
•
DIGIOP® Data
- A data management software that integrates external data with video recorded by DIGIOP® Core. This
information can be displayed and retrieved with DIGIOP
®
Connect. DIGIOP® Data integrates video with retail Point-of-Sale
(POS), to school Time & Attendance, to healthcare Electronic Access Control (EAC), etc. to expand the potential of your system.
There is no direct user interface to configure or control DIGIOP® Data.
In NVRs and hDVRs, analog cameras are added to the system and assigned to video channels by the video connector they
are attached to. IP cameras are added to the system through the DIGIOP® Control interface, a web-based configuration and
management feature of the system.
All DIGIOP® IP cameras and encoders include an IPAdmin Tool, a Microsoft Windows-based application for configuring network
settings and firmware updates. Depending on your NVR or hDVR, IPAdmin Tool may be pre-installed.
Local and Hosted-Enterprise Management
The DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ server can be managed either locally or by DIGIOP®. With a locally managed NVR or hDVR server, the
configuration settings are retained on the server. In a hosted enterprise environment, DIGIOP® manages the servers and saves the
server configuration settings at DIGIOP®. For hosted enterprise management, the NVR and hDVR servers must be accessible through
