ADPRO FastTrace-R by Xtralis Installation and User Manual

1 Introduction
ADPRO FastTrace-R by Xtralis is an advanced, high performance digital video and audio
recorder optimised for remote search and playback. Available in a number of models with 10 or
20 video inputs, FastTrace-R provides outstanding transmission speed and picture quality for
remote security and surveillance applications where secure, event-driven recording from multiple
cameras onto digital data storage disks is required. In addition, FastTrace-R can provide multi-
user network access or dedicated telephone line connection for searching, retrieval and
transmission of stored data from a remote monitoring site.
When compared to a standard ADPRO FastTrace by Xtralis transmitter that can dial-out to a
Central Monitoring Site (CMS) on certain alarm or pre-set conditions, a number of differences are
apparent due to the FastTrace-R application environment, where dial-out is not a requirement.
Instead, the FastTrace-R will retain (queue) up to 100 system and fault alarms that will be
downloaded to VideoCentral when a manual connection is made. These system and fault alarms
are reset on a power failure. Other differences are:
• The Arm/Disarm option is not required.
• “Camera view style” is “Live” only (alarm and Presidium inputs).
• The “Call list configuration” is not required.
• The ability to use an “alarm input as an Arm/Disarm Input” is not required.
• The ability to “Activate Control Output while unit is armed” is not required.
• The ability to “Activate Control Output when sensors are active” is not required.
• The option to “Dial Out on event for each camera” is not required.
• The Entry/Exit Path option is not required.
• The SitePulse option is not required.
• There is no requirement for the duress alarm option.
• There are no quad alarms required.
FastTrace-R can be installed to be fully compatible with the British Standard, BS8418. This
standard applies to remotely monitored video verification systems, and is mandatory in the UK to
receive police response to intrusions. It specifies superior quality equipment, best practice
installation and monitoring requirements that will ensure long term, high performance operation
for the end user.
Figure 1 shows a typical application using the FastTrace-R system supporting the following
equipment:
• 10 camera (Model 5010) or 20 camera models (Model 5020)
• 20 (or 30) external alarm input devices (e.g. panic button, door switch, PIR (passive infra-
red) detector or glass break switch)
• 10 (or 20) external output devices (e.g. siren, strobe light, outdoor light or door lock
mechanism)
• 10 (or 20) microphones and speakers (via the VM22A Audio Switcher)
