Intellex DVR Upgrade Considerations
There are many benefits to performing an Intransa CCTV DVR Upgrade to support
existing AD Intellex systems. One of the benefits is that capacity can be increased
whenever needed to accommodate a greater retention period in the future, without re-
cabling or halting recording and playback.
Another benefit is that the Intellex system can take advantage of the IP network as the
shared storage is available to any units within upgraded surveillance system. IP devices
can also be immediately added to the surveillance system, while continuing to leverage
the Intellex DVR and analog cameras and cabling.
Together, these benefits help to extend the life and increase the value of the existing
surveillance system while providing an easy migration path to future all-IP solutions and
deployments without the expense of an all-new system or the risk of deploying entirely
new technology.
To get started, you will need to determine how you are going to manage your complete
system, including the soon-to-be-added CCTV DVR upgrade.
Network Considerations
Most Intellex DVRs have one on-board 10/100/100 Base-T network adapter installed. To
completely isolate the video retention (storage) traffic from other user and management
traffic, it is recommended that a second Network Interface Card (NIC) be installed. This
will isolate the video retention and playback traffic from regular video traffic, providing
better performance and system security.
Most Intellex DVRs have 6 PCI-X slots and one PCI-E slot. As long as there is one free
slot available, you can easily install a Gigabit NIC card (such as from Intel or other
vendors) into this free slot. You will connect to the CCTV DVR Upgrade and its
retention capacity through this network adapter. Depending upon your management
requirements, you may do this with or without a standard 1GbE Ethernet network data
switch; to get the maximum access and management benefits, Intransa recommends using
such a switch.
To monitor the security system from computers connected to the corporate network, the
Intellex 10/100 NIC is connected to the corporate network, and the Network Client
application is installed on corporate network computers. The Network Client can monitor
the dedicated IP video security network without exposing the corporate network to the
entire video load, which is an administration, security and performance benefit.
From the video retention system point of view, you can either place the video data
retention provided by the CCTV DVR Upgrade in a separate network or as part of your
existing LAN infrastructure.
