The DMS8000 systems MM8000 and MK8000 can support various NICE video
systems of the NiceVision family (and the corresponding RIVER products when
applicable), including Digital Video Recorders or DVRs (NiceVision Digital prod-
ucts) and digital Decoders (NiceVision Net products).
The detailed list of supported products and version is provided in the latest
MM8000/MK8000 Release Notes.
This integration allows providing advanced control capabilities as well as the ac-
cess to video images in MM8000 event treatment and navigation.
A detailed configuration guide for this video device is provided in this section.
The advanced video functionalities require a basic communication infrastructure
between MM8000/MK8000 and the CCTV units; this is actually a LAN network.
In Composer, a Video Network Manager (VNM) and the associated drivers should
be added to the MM8000/MK8000 main station in order to support the video net-
work communication. The drivers concern the NICE DVR units.
The Fig. 2 illustrates how to add the VNM to the configuration:
1. In the MM8000 physical configuration, select the main station name:
Supervisor System Settings  MM8000 System  Physical configuration
 <Station name>
2. Click the button A to add the VNM (see Fig. 2).
A new node is added. No further configuration is required for the VNM.

Note: Adding the VNM results in the entire Composer project being expanded in
order to support the CCTV functions. Particularly, the new tab Camera Extensor is
added to all nodes. Depending on the size of the configuration tree, the operation
may take a few minutes.
The Composer plug-in #251701 is required.
