ENDURA SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
The SM5200 is a network appliance that serves as the system
management component of the Pelco Endura
®
system. The SM5200
manages the discovery and registration of all Endura components
and cameras on the network.
When registering Pelco cameras and encoders, the SM5200 acts as
a secure key server. Acting as a secure public/private key exchange
allows Pelco video encoders and cameras to securely sign
compressed video. This can be used to authenticate video from the
source as needed for law enforcement agencies or other evidentiary
requirements.
The SM5200 monitors the health and functionality of all components
on the network. Device diagnostics are logged in the SM5200’s
database. In addition, the SM5200 logs user activities such as logon,
logoff, alarm response, and initiation of video export.
As a management server, the SM5200 hosts user rights and
permissions. Credentials are authenticated with the SM5200’s
database before allowing a user to log onto any Endura client.
Endura clients work in conjunction with user configurations stored in
the SM5200 to expose functions and language preferences
configured for each role and user account. This improves operator
efficiency and minimizes training requirements. The SM5200 can
also interact with an LDAP server supported by Microsoft
®
Active Directory
®
for user authentication.
The SM5200 hosts the Endura Script Manager, allowing scripted
responses to be executed on a given alarm condition, a programmed
schedule, or by manual initiation. The unit also hosts an NTP server,
enabling the SM5200 to act as an NTP proxy between an atomic or
GPS-based NTP server and the components on the Endura network.
In the absence of an external NTP server, the SM5200 can act as the
time source for Endura cameras and servers; however, the system
will be subject to time drift inherent with COTS servers. The SM5200
also provides a DHCP server that can issue and manage DHCP
addresses and leases for Endura components and cameras on the
network.
The SM5200 is designed for the demands of a mission critical
surveillance system. To ensure continuous uptime, the SM5200 is
equipped with two solid state drives (SSD) containing the operating
system in a RAID 1 configuration. In addition, redundant fans and the
option of RAID 5 storage for exported video content provide
insurance against hardware failures that could compromise data
integrity. Users can also configure a series of up to 24 SM5200s to
act in a failover capacity; the members of the failover cluster can be
prioritized to take over system management responsibilities should
the primary unit fall offline.
Dual Gigabit Ethernet network ports allow the SM5200 to act as a
proxy between two networks, enabling network administrators to
manage the impact of surveillance video on shared network links.
Network port 1 is available for Endura network traffic. Network
port 2 supports IPv6 and is used for remote access only.
