home CCTV – I have had CCTV at home for 8 years now in one form or another. Over that time cam performance has increased, whilst prices have fallen.

Par for the course where a lot of technology is concerned I suppose. A year or so ago I gotten a Samsung CCTV switcher from eBay to view our cameras by modulating its output round all the TVs in the house.

Using its basic timer it switched between each cam at a set interval, while this worked it was discouraging as the cam you wanted to view was rarely the one that was on the screen at that particular moment in time. The eBay acquired switcher died a month or so ago and so the search for the “upgrade” was on.

Choosing a System – thinking about the spec for the new CCTV controller, there were several crucial features I wanted.

Net access – With our exchange finally being enabled for broadband I required something that would allow me to view the cameras over the Net.

LAN access – I wanted to be able to view cameras easily from any PC around the house.

PDA customer – the ability to view live pictures on my PDA.

Recording – I wanted something that would record. often our drive movement logs from HomeVision showed we’d had visitors, but we were unable to tell who. It would be great to have a recording to view on our return.

TV – I still wanted to be able to view the pictures on our TVs round the house

Be able to control PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) Cameras

From the list above it was clear I needed something very flexible, and the software was going to be as important, if not a lot more so than the hardware. After some research, demonstrations and chats with existing users I settled on the GeoVision range. These cards are not cheap, but I was pleased by the variety of features, especially the software. over the years I’ve often regretted my economies. Purchases that seem “good value” initially, are often a let down. On the other hand the a lot more expensive items I’ve purchased (Pronto and TiVo spring to mind) have supplied years of enjoyment. So I’m hoping my GeoVision system will bring similar satisfaction.

GeoVision build boards that are capable of between 16 and 400 frames per second (fps) using the UK friend TV standard. prices range from around £80 for a single cam 16fps card to over £1400 for a 16 cam 400fps one!

The purchase – I settled on the GV-650 card. This supplies 50 fps, that is 50 frames in total shared amongst the cameras attached to it. I initially was going to get the 8 cam version of the 650 card. however the 12 cam card was less than £40 a lot more than the 8 cam one and leaves room to expand the system, so in the end I made a decision to purchase it instead.

A bulk get of GeoVision cards and other CCTV equipment was organized by Stephen Jones of i-Home. the best prices were obtained from RF concepts who supplied the GV650-12.

Building the Box
I wanted the CCTV Server to live in the rack with the rest of the kit. having made a decision to build my “Node Zero” as a small space off the garage indicated that cord runs were longer than they would have been had I sited it in the middle of the house. However, putting it there has verified to be the ideal decision. There’s a significant amount of noise created by the PCs already there, never mind this new one. add to that the noise from the Network switch and various other ancillaries and you can see it would have been horrendous in the middle of the house.

Video capture is one of the most processor and disk intensive activities you can ask of your PC and it can highlight any hardware “issues” in your system. during my initial research I was encouraged by one vendor to purchase a certain motherboard for the system and I took their advice. The Gigabyte GA-8IK1100 is based on the Intel 875P: by means of Chipsets are a no-no for the higher spec GeoVisions. A beneficial list of other system requirements and recommendations is available on the RF concepts website.

In a bid to make sure the stability of my system and guarantee the quality of the recordings I made a decision to over-spec the CCTV server I was going to build. I used quality components and the CPU and RAM were well over the recommended specification. The overall cost of the maker was around £1,165 (not including the OS or CD-ROM drive). A significant investment! The components, prices and links are provided at the bottom of this article.

I remember being quoted £1,200 for a 1gig hard drive to opt for my first PC (a 486sx25). It was external and the size of a shoe box. The 160gig drive is a respectable size and currently a great price at £60. No doubt it will look expensive in another 10 years.

Multi-output from the GeoVision Cards D-Type

The recommendation is to create separate partitions for the OS and the video files. I created a 10gig partition for the operating system, leaving over 140gig complimentary on the video partition. One user I spoke with has been recording for 5 months on the highest quality settings, using 5 cameras set to record only on motion. His recordings currently take up 110gig on his hard drive. once the recordings reach the capacity of the drive, they will start to automatically delete the oldest ones to make room for the new ones. This must allow you to have an archives going back months in a lot of applications. RF concepts have a beneficial hard disk calculator to give you some idea of the space you’ll need. This is for constant recording though, so the space requirements for a movement based recording system are much much lower.

Building the PC was the normal basic task, the case is respectable quality and has a lot of room for extra drives if required. I installed Windows XP professional on the PC. The choice for these cards is Windows XP professional or Windows 2000 Professional. I have found XP to be very stable and a happiness to use so went with it. motorists for the GeoVision card installed without a problem, the cam connected and the system was up and running very quickly.

Connecting the Cameras – The GeoVision is supplied with 2 sets of leads. The D-Type outlets on the back of the card allow one set of leads for Cameras 1-6, plus two audio inputs, while the second lot of 6 cameras is attached to the second D-Type. cam connections are by means of BNC plugs. If your cameras are supplied with phonos instead you can get a helpful little BNC plug to Phono Socket Adaptor – Maplins part Number FA11M.

We have a motley collection of cameras around the inside and outside of the house. For evident reasons I don’t want to show them all, or give away some of the a lot more covert positions, suffice to say they cover the property comprehensively. The system can also continue to record if the power is cut thanks to the monster UPS in the rack supplying the PC and the cameras. The little “board camera” monitoring the garage (beautifully mounted with Blu-Tak on top of a PIR) was less than £50. I gotten it on a visit to Henry’s CCTV in London several years ago. The tiny Colour Cam was gotten from Makro and the Dome cam was around £30 from a Chinese source by means of eBay. Those camera, like a lot of of the others are wired back to node zero by means of a single CAT5 cable. This allows power as well as the video signal down a single cable. The exception to this is the larger cameras (see the “High quality Low-Light Cam” picture below) which requires mains voltages for the screen heaters. For these cam we used coax cord (some CT100 left over from cabling the rest of the house).

Mini Colour Cam

Board Cam in Garage

Dome Cam

High quality Low-Light Cam

In my experience it’s pretty much a case of getting what you pay for with cameras. The dome and board cameras are both low quality. The tiny colour cam is ok as long as there’s good light, but once it starts to get even a little dark it gets very grainy and the quality drops ideal off. The big cameras in the housings though are superb though. They make it seem like it’s daylight outside during dusk hours. You can even make out some detail just with the light from a full moon on a clear night. I have recently got a Sony day/night cam from lets Automate – one that’s colour during the day, then switches to black and white for low light conditions. I haven’t got round to trying this yet, but it does seem like the best way to go these days.

The TV out on the Asus video card was enabled and the composite signal fed into the modulator I had previously used with the Samsung switcher. This allows channel 9 on every TV to view the desktop of the CCTV server which is setup with the GeoVision software maximised (screen shots coming in part 2). Make sure to check out the “Taboo Channels” on your system before picking a channel to set your modulator too. See for http://www.kat5.tv/taboo.html a lot more details, and download our little Taboo channel calculator application from HERE.

So, the system is up and running. In a few weeks time I’ll report back with my experiences. Is the system stable? Does the record on motion really work? Is the software easy to use? What’s the indicating of life? All these and a lot more will be answered in the next thrilling instalment of…HOME CCTV.

V časti 1 sme sa pozreli na náš pobyt v Loxone Show House v Rakúsku, avšak aj niekoľko ďalších miest, ktoré sme navštívili aj cez víkend.

Jedným z vrcholov cesty bolo náš ísť na Loxone HQ, ktoré sa tiež nachádzalo v Kollerschlagu, hneď za cestou od prehliadky domov.

Je to jedna z tých ohromujúcich súčasných budov, ktoré sa javia ako kozmická loď.

Ultramoderné zariadenie, ktoré tam pracuje približne 100 „loxonautov“, je to budova, v ktorej sa okrem toho, že je v dome pre správu, reklamu aj školiace oddelenia aj softvérové ​​aplikácie pre systém Wise House System.

Suterén

Začali sme prehliadku lode mamičky na úrovni suterénu, v ktorej sa domnieva distribučné centrum. Čo by ste poskytli s riadkom po Row of Lovely Loxone Wise House Tech

Cez víkend sme si všimli, že takmer čokoľvek, čo sme využili od perá po varenie riadu, boli všetky v obchodnej spoločnosti Loxone Green. Úžasné schodisko k ďalšej úrovni základného tábora sa nelíšilo, keď sme vyliezli na úroveň prízemia budovy.

Prízemie

Tu je oblasť recepcie pred tréningovým priestorom, kde partneri z Nemecka a Rakúska získavajú certifikáciu.

Rovnako môžete vidieť aj rozmanitosť produktov Loxone Wise House, okrem toho, aby ste skontrolovali svoje miesta na svete (vrátane ich nových kancelárií v Číne).

Zvyšok tejto úrovne je prijatý do úžasnej kaviarne, kde si každý má každý deň pripravený obedy šéfkuchára.

Existuje systém NFC pre občerstvenie pracovníkov, ako aj nápoje, s nástennými iPadmi, ktoré ukazujú, kto má čo. Tvrdá práca, tu zložité princípy, spolu s stolom pre foosball, ako aj basketbalové obruče, spôsobujú, že prostredie sa zdajú viac Silicon Valley ako rakúska dedina.

Tento stojan na podlahu po strop Loxone Hardware Towers nad hlavou a pokračuje ďalej až do najvyššieho poschodia, na ktorý sme smerovali ďalej.

Prvé poschodie

Horná paluba Big Open Plan v základnom tábore je miesto, kde sa vyskytuje všetka akcia, pričom tu je založená väčšina zamestnancov. Navštívili sme v sobotu aj v čase, keď bolo prázdne, môžete si predstaviť efektívnosť z tejto obrovskej kancelárie.

Niektoré vysoko podporované mäkké sedadlá sa spoliehali na pohľad na ohromujúcu rakúsku krajinu, ako aj zjavne tu idete, keď hľadáte motiváciu alebo prekonáte ťažkosti so softvérom, na ktorej pracujete.

Tu sa využíva viac NFC, tentoraz na dlhom brehu personálnych skriniek v tvare kocky. Dokonca aj veľký registračný systém využíva túto technológiu RFID na umožnenie prístupu k autorizovaným zamestnancom.

Florian Woess, Loxone CMO

Náš sprievodca pre tento deň, Loxone’s CMO Florian Woess, nám povedal, že túto budovu prerástli, ako aj plány sú v pokročilom štádiu, aby predĺžili svoju činnosť v Kollerschlagu.

Stavba sa začne budúci rok, ako aj toto hlavné rozšírenie existujúcej budovy, bude rásť, aby sa starala o 400 ľudí. Rozšírenie spoločnosti Loxone, od začiatku len pred desiatimi rokmi, pokračuje v ACACE.

Požiadali sme Philipp Schuster, generálneho riaditeľa spoločnosti Loxone UK o aktualizáciu rastu podnikania v Spojenom kráľovstve, ako aj povedal nám …

Za siedmimi rokmi, keď sme boli v Spojenom kráľovstve, sme videli pokračujúci rast, ako sa zaoberáme podobnými okolnosťami, keď sa zaoberáme s naším základom v Rakúsku; Potom, čo sme v našich britských kanceláriách boli iba päť rokov, hľadáme v priebehu nasledujúcich dvanástich mesiacov strojnásobiť veľkosť našej kancelárie, aby sme vyhovovali neustále sa zvyšujúceho dopytu po školení, ako aj rastúcej veľkosti nášho britského tímu. Taký rýchly rast bol občas ťažký, ale všeobecne je to najlepší problém.
Philipp Schuster

Budúci laboratórium

V okolí je ešte jedna budova Loxone. Dve minúty od ústredia v dedine Kollerschlag je Loxone Future Lab.

To je miesto, kde sa skutočne dôverujú veci v oblasti výskumu a vývoja, keď pracujú na ďalšej generácii produktov Loxone v celkovom utajení.

Naše prosby o prístup k zisku boli spokojní s úsmevom, ale nič iné. Dočerta

Nabudúce

V záverečnej splátke sa chystáme ísť do rakúskych sebaúctiteľov, ktorý má nainštalovaný systém Loxone, plus pozrieť sa na Baudisch, jednu z výrobných závodov Loxone v Nemecku. Medzitým pokladňa niekoľko ďalších obrázkov v galérii nižšie.

wise homes, which earlier might be obtained by pioneers only, are now simple to buy. Intelligent building innovation is offered as a total bundle with automated tailoring for client requirements. The idea is based on COBA (Connected open building Automation). COBA was produced in a standardization job of business representing different industries, as well as is now in comprehensive industrial use. Intelligent building systems offer utmost comfort by optimizing temperature, indoor air quality, illumination conditions in addition to security. The intelligent building technology, managed by circumstances as well as individual needs, is now offered as a total bundle with automated tailoring for client requirements.

The dreams of house automation have been productized into an quickly purchasable solution. because of comprehensive product development, the worldwide leading edge has stayed in Finland. The service established by HomeSoft is much much more comfortable as well as effective than the trials in the nineties. The experiences of the early adopters have been taken into account, as well as now the genuine action begins, comments Risto Linturi, pioneer of house automation. effective mass production of individually tailored services is the new aspect of the solution. The result is top high quality at very little cost.

The very first nationwide chain to provide the intelligent facility administration service is Lalo. The concept, which is based on the open COBA interfaces, has been productized by HomeSoft Oy. It is simple to purchase the service with one contract. previously a builder of a detached home had to offer with as numerous as four different vendors. now automation is packaged with the rest of the building technology, as well as the client gets the overall bundle as a turn essential solution, Pasi type from the Lalo chain tells as well as adds: Intelligent facility administration provides us the possibility to serve our client in a much more diverse method than previously, as the info on a service demand immediately reaches the best persons.A builder of a one household house, Kenneth Nylund, who just recently bought an intelligent facility administration solution, says: chose this service as the performance seems exceptional as well as it was simple to buy.

The core of the idea is the building operating system COBA (Connected open building Automation). COBA provides a typical interface to all facility administration systems: heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, usage metering, gain access to as well as attendance, video surveillance in addition to burglar, terminate as well as humidity alarms. The integration enables the systems to work together perfectly as well as to be managed according to needs as well as situations. The efficient, demand managed style as well as application process is based on open interfaces as well as easy product as well as service modeling.

COBA was produced in a standardization job of business representing different industries, as well as is now in comprehensive industrial use. In addition to HomeSoft as well as Lämpötalo, among others Securitas Systems Oy as well as Lonix Oy offer services based on COBA. Lonix likewise offers the modules with the intelligence included in the HomeSoft solution. The original vision of the COBA job shown to be correct”, states CEO Tuomas Koskenranta from Lonix. “The future is standardized in COBA. The advancement efforts have been comprehensive as well as have aimed exactly on enhanced productivity. There is no nicer development than to have renewed the facility innovation of residential buildings.”
