1. General Description Zelaris AS is a programme for use in the field of access control. The combination of eneo network cameras and/or AXIS components and the Zelaris AC Server software emulate a video and two-way voice door control system. The network cameras/servers use the Ethernet in order to transmit video, audio, and control data in the network. In combination with the Zelaris AC server they enable the building entrance area or similar to be monitored from a PC workplace.
2. Presentation As can be seen from the foregoing, various different formats and compression procedures can be displayed with the Zelaris AS: • MJPEG • MPEG-4 • MPEG-2 Selection: MJPEG MPEG4 or MPEG2 3.
4. Description The Zelaris AS works with the Active-X components provided by the manufacturers. In addition to this it also offers the possibility of incorporating other devices in which no Active-X is available. If these devices have their own applications, or can be accessed via the Internet Explorer, they can be started by means of a „shell”. This is done very simply by placing a tick against only the „Shell” option in the application.
The protocols can be adjusted in order to trigger the Zelaris AS. This means that, all according to the preset protocol, the Zelaris AS is switched from its standby mode to its active mode and the live pictures are displayed. As an additional function, if the SMTP or FTP protocol has been pre-set the current images are stored on the internal hard disc of the PC. In the case of the SMTP protocol a small eMail server is activated, or with the FTP protocol it is an FTP server.
The Zelaris AS documents each event in a log file, which can be given the appropriate name in the configuration part of the software. In addition to this, when the maximum file size has been reached a back-up file is created in which all the information in the log file is mirrored. After that a new log file is opened. The back-up file can of course also be given its own name in the configuration part of the Zelaris AS. Give a name to the log file. Give a name to the back-up file.
If an event is triggered, the connection to the network cameras and/or video server is created immediately. The position of the video image display on the PC screen can likewise be defined in the configuration part of the Zelaris AS. Select the position on the screen of the video image.
Sending alarm images to a PDA-2003: The Zelaris AC #76011 is able to send alarm images to an available PDA within the network. The Zelaris-AC PDA option #76024 must be installed on the PDA. Select PDA option Enter the IP Address of the PDA and the port number to be used Determine directory for the alarm images Specify values for network timeout and packet size. Values are dependent on the available network. Activation instructions: write additional information into the log file.
If information is to be sent to an e-mail server following the activation of the alarm, these functions can be activated accordingly: Select e-mail function Insert number of retries to be performed in the event that the mail server cannot be obtained.
The opened video image viewer provides various options: • Automatic connection • Automatic closing of the video image after a preset length of time • Stopping the live stream in order to be able to store individual images on the internal hard disc of the PC (to examine suspicious persons or circumstances) • Actuating the alarm output contact of the network camera or the video server in order to access external devices such as door-openers or vehicle barriers • Audio function of the cameras and video servers
The Zelaris AS also offers tools for such tasks as checking the devices connected to it for their function in the network. These include: • Pinging IP addresse • Tracing IP addresse Set packet size Number of transmission packets Enter IP address or camera name Start „ping” command Expected response in „x” seconds Response from video server or network camera „Ping” command The „ping” command is used to check the availability of a device in the network.
The Zelaris AS can be configured in two different operating modes. These are: • Single-licence application (server) • Multiple-licence application (client/server) The single-licence application, as the name shows, is used when the system consists of only one workplace. In this case the Zelaris AS stores and visualises all events.
Up to 16 clients can be registered in the server application #76011. These can be set up as both internal and external LAN clients. A connection via a fixed external IP address or as a DynDns client is also possible.
The Zelaris AS and also the Zelaris AC can be configured as a standard or as a background application. The decision as to how the programme is to work can also be set in the configuration part. If you click on the „TrayIcon” option the application will run in the background and will be shown on the Windows desktop as an icon in the bottom right-hand corner. Select standard or background application. A password is always needed in order to configure or close the Zelaris AS or the Zelaris AC.
The configuration of the Zelaris AC #76012 is almost identical with that of the Zelaris AS #76011 described above. The differences can be described as follows: Set up connection to video image. Switch audible warning on/off Status display for open Client panel. This is closed automatically after two minutes if the workstation is unmanned. In the Appendix you will find instructions on the setup (installation) of the Zelaris AS / AC. Step 1 Start setup Select folder for programme installation.
Step 2 Select programme name for start menu. Step 3 Status display during programme installation Terminate installation Step 4 The completion of the installation is confirmed with „OK”.
