Page 3: Introduction
INTRODUCTION PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT This document is to provide Endura®‐certified integrators with a guideline of installation requirements for the Endura IP Video Management System components. The Endura system is built upon industry standard technologies and utilizes Information Technology (IT) grade components. As such, all best practices for IT equipment site planning and deployment apply to Endura. Given the constant database and file management activity that is natural with an IP video management system, care must be taken to avoid sudden shutdown of any of the components. As power fluctuations and disruptions are a common source for un‐intentional equipment reboots, conditioned power should be used for all servers. As hard disk drive reliability is negatively impacted by temperature extremes, care must be taken to ensure that hard disk drives are never exposed to elevated operating temperatures. If either conditioned power or the environmental conditions of the server room are outside the specified limits, data corruption and equipment failure can occur. The Endura system should only be turned on after the power and environmental conditioning systems are fully tested and operational. WARNING: Do not turn on any Endura equipment until all of the items suggested in this document have been considered. Without adequate power and ventilation the Endura equipment can suffer permanent damage. Should you encounter any questions about the topics covered in this document, please contact the Pelco Endura Hotline at 1‐800‐289‐9100 (USA and Canada) or +1‐559‐292‐1981 (international), e‐mail endurasupport@pelco.com.

Page 4: Power Guidelines
POWER GUIDELINES POWER DISSIPATION AND CURRENT REQUIREMENTS Proper design of the power distribution system is essential for reliable, long‐term operation of the Endura system. Given the multitude of active database transactions and file operations that symbolize video surveillance systems, the reliability of the power supply is a crucial element in preventing file and database corruption issues. When designing the electrical distribution system, consider the following: • Total power budget required for all equipment at a given node • Circuit breaker or UPS strategy that incorporates in‐rush and start‐up current loads • Provide extra load projected growth of the system • Provide continuous and reliable power under all expected operating conditions Table A provides power dissipation and start‐up current requirements for Endura equipment. Consult applicable regulations and standards for determining the proper wire gauge to use. Generally, you should install circuit breakers that are rated at 125 percent of the expected maximum load. For recording devices UPS battery backup should be used. Table A.

Page 5: Power Quality
POWER QUALITY As with any IT equipment, Endura components rely on proper installation practices to minimize power surges and other fluctuations with the power supply. Unlike IT equipment, Endura components use custom designed power supplies that meet EN50130‐4 standard for alarm monitoring equipment. This allows the component to withstand a five‐cycle dip in power supply without resetting. Even with these precautions incorporated into the design, power fluctuations can still adversely affect the equipment and should be avoided. Power quality can be measured using a power quality analyzer. The following list describes the common issues that must be mitigated to protect your system and equipment. The equipment problems associated with these anomalies range from video distortion and un‐intended increases in bit‐rates to damaged electronic components. • Frequency: Variation of the power waveform • Harmonic distortion: Multiples of power frequency superimposed on the power waveform • Line noise: Distortions superimposed on the power waveform • Overvoltage: Increased voltages for an extended period of time • Power failure: Total loss of utility power • Power sag: Short term under‐voltage • Power surge (spike): Quick burst of overvoltage • Switching transient: Under‐voltage or overvoltage for up to a few nanoseconds • Under‐voltage (brownout): Low line voltages for an extended period of time NOTE: If these issues are suspected or known to occur for a given site, ensure that proper steps have been taken to isolate the equipment from these anomalies prior to turning on the Endura equipment. RECOMMENDED PROTECTION PRACTICES The Endura system can be protected from many sources of electrical disturbances by adhering to the following the recommendations. Please note that it is beyond the scope of this document to provide explicit instructions for electrical distribution system design and configuration. If in doubt, please consult with a licensed electrical contractor. • Dedicate a power distribution system for the video surveillance equipment • Minimize the use of high‐current draw devices such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units placed on the Endura power distribution network, as these can cause a dip or interruption when the ... - Page 6 UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY GUIDELINES Installing an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is highly recommended for any recording device to ensure that power is continuously and consistently delivered to the Endura component. A UPS is typically rated by the Practical Power Range, expressed in kVA. The equivalent watt rating is roughly 60 to 90 percent of the VA rating, depending on the efficiency of the UPS. When selecting a UPS, use the power and current requirements presented in Table A as a guideline. The following example describes how to calculate the UPS size required for an installation with two NSM5200s connected to the same UPS: Example: Two NSM5200s are to be connected to the same UPS. From Table A, each NSM5200 dissipates 262 W of power and has a start‐up current of 6 A per power supply module. Step 1: Calculate the total power in watts required: 262 W x 2 = 524 W Step 2: Convert the wattage to VA by dividing by 0.60 524 W/0.6 = 873 VA – Need a UPS rated for more than 873 VA Step 3: Find the appropriate UPS: Consider the APC Smart‐UPS 1000 VA with rated output power of 800 W/1000 VA NOTE: NSM5200s and DAS5200s come with redundant power supplies. Each supply for the unit should be connected to a different circuit to ensure that the unit does not lose power on in the event of a circuit failure. Page 6 C2670M‐C ...

Page 7: Grounding
GROUNDING A properly grounded installation is critical in ensuring the fault‐free operation of Endura equipment. All conduit used should be securely connected rigid metal. An earth‐ground connection should be made by one of the following means: • Grounding rod • Building steel • Conductive cold water service pipe All power panels should be grounded to the electrical service entrance. The ground connections that will be used throughout the server room should be tested to ensure a low resistance path to ground. NOTE: Be sure to verify that there is no direct current (DC) potential between grounds of different circuits in each rack. Any reading above 1 V measured between grounds should be considered a problem and investigated. Grounding Guidelines • Main building electrical ground: The main electrical service entrance equipment should have an earth‐ ground connection as required by applicable codes. Connections such as grounding rod, building steel, or a conductive‐type cold water service pipe provide an earth‐ground. • Electrical conduit ground: All electrical conduits should be made of rigid metallic conduit that is securely connected together or bonded to panels and electrical boxes to provide a continuous grounding system. • Power panel ground: Each power panel should be grounded to the electrical service entrance with green (green/yellow) wire ground conductors. The green (green/yellow) wire ground conductors should be sized per applicable codes. C2670M‐C Page 7 ... -
Page 8: Electrostatic Discharge Prevention
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PREVENTION Electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs when objects are separated or rubbed together. The voltage level of a static charge is determined by the following factors: • Type of materials • Relative humidity • Rate of change or separation Refer to Table B for sample data on the effect of humidity on charge levels. Table B.

Page 9: Environmental Guildelines
ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDELINES ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS The following environmental elements can affect the overall stability and performance of the Endura product family: • Server room preparation • Cooling requirements • Humidity level • Air conditioning ducts • Dust and pollution control • ESD prevention • Acoustics (noise reduction) • Number of employees working in the room SITE CLEANLINESS It is critical that the installation site be completely clean and devoid of dust and debris created during the construction process. Operation of the equipment should not begin (even for testing purposes) until all construction has been completed. WARNING: Do not turn on the Endura system until all construction is complete and the installation site is operating at the specified operating temperature. Units functioning under high operating temperatures can experience degraded performance and life expectancy. C2670M‐C Page 9 ... -
Page 10: Operating Temperature
OPERATING TEMPERATURE Operating temperature has a significant impact on the mean time between failures (MTBF) of hard disk drives and other sensitive electronic components. Various published findings indicate that a hard disk drive exposed to a temperature extreme is susceptible to early failure. Generally, for every 18°F increase (above room temperature) in operating temperature, the life expectancy of the hard drive decreases by 35 percent. For example, a hard drive operating at 115°F would suffer a 58 percent reduction in longevity. Similarly, battery backup in a UPS operating at 77°F (25°C) has an average life expectancy of 3 to 5 years. This dramatically drops to 1.5 years if the UPS is operated at 104°F (40°C). While Endura equipment has a specified range, the best performance and longevity is attained when the operating temperature is maintained at or under 77°F (25°C). For the purposes of Endura equipment, the specified operating temperature is the actual temperature directly in front of the bezel of the chassis. Pelco products have undergone an extensive amount of design and engineering to keep the operating temperature of internal components as close to the ambient temperature of the room as possible. As such, maintaining the right ambient temperature at the front of the unit is critical. The rack‐ mountable Endura servers use active cooling by drawing air in from the front to the back. The most sensitive components are typically mounted at the front of the unit to take advantage of cooler ambient air temperatures. Proper rack design and temperature control are critical components for system stability and health. When installing an Endura system, follow these general guidelines: • Ensure proper ambient temperature is always maintained in the rack room • Ensure that the ambient temperature at the front of each unit is within the operating specification range • Ensure proper heat exhaust in the back of the rack • If multiple components are placed in the same rack, ensure that no heat traps exist in the rack (when a deeper component is placed directly above a shorter component, the extra depth of one unit creates a heat pocket that can trap the heat generated and exhausted by the shorter unit) Table C on page 11 describes the environmental operating conditions for Endura components and servers.

Page 12: Heating Ventilation And Air Conditioning (Hvac)
HEATING VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) The HVAC system should be sized to meet the recommended requirements of the Endura system and account for any additional equipment that may also be in the server room. Racks and room layout need to be configured to ensure that cold air is available at the front of each unit and heated air is exhausted at the back. Refer to Table C on page 11 for BTU/H figures for each of the Endura components. HVAC VENT LAYOUT The HVAC strategy should be capable of exhausting every kilowatt of heat produced by the Endura equipment housed in the room. Generally, Endura servers do not discriminate between cold air intake and heated air intake; whatever is present in front of the unit will be drawn into the unit and relied upon to cool sensitive electronic components. The layout of the vents in relation to the rack position is critical. The basic principal in rack room design is to minimize the impedance to airflow for cold air getting into the equipment and heated air being removed from the room. Thermodynamics principals dictate that air will naturally move where there is the least resistance; therefore, it is critical to ensure that the rack room and rack configuration is carefully designed to deliver the desired airflow pattern. Endura servers use active cooling to pull cool air in through the front of the unit and exhaust heated air out of the back of the unit. The ideal server room configuration utilizes cold and hot aisles. HVAC vents, placed either in the floor or the ceiling, blow into the aisle where the front of the equipment is located. Each server uses internal fans to draw air in and across sensitive electronics. The heated air being exhausted by the system is pumped into hot aisles where the exhaust system removes it, ensuring that it does not recirculate to the front of the rack. For this to work properly, the installation should ensure that heated air is not recirculated to the front of the unit. An easy way to do this is to use racks with solid side panels and a fan‐assisted exhaust system for heat removal. Depending on the configuration of servers inside the rack, pockets of hot air might be trapped underneath deeper servers. Make sure to design racks so that the shallower components are placed at the top of the rack and the deeper components at the bottom of the rack. WARNING: Incorrect vent layout can result in a lack of air movement, which could lead to equipment overheating. Make sure that any fans installed within the rack are pulling air out of the rack, not pushing air into the rack. Pushing air into the rack will result in the cabinet becoming pressurized, leading to a lack of airflow and possible overheating. Please refer to the rack manufacturer’s recommendations. Where possible, please use IT‐oriented rack layout schemes instead of A/V rack equipment and guidelines. Page 12 C2670M‐C ... -
Page 13: Networking Guidelines
NETWORKING GUIDELINES GENERAL NETWORK ISSUES Endura is a high performance, IP Video Surveillance Management system. As such, it heavily leverages and is extremely sensitive to the performance of the underlying network. The use of managed switches is a requirement. These switches must have the ability to route and a high number of multicast sessions concurrently. Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a minimum requirement, and more sophisticated multicast routing protocols may also be utilized. Refer to the Endura Network Design Guide (C1640M‐C) for details on the minimum requirements for the network and the network switch. You can access this document at www.pelco.com or through the Endura Partner Portal. While the Endura Network Design Guide describes the basic functionality that the Endura components require of the network, Pelco cannot guarantee that every switch will operate under all possible network configurations. It is up to the integrator to determine the feasibility of the chosen network switch for the given application. Further, it is up to the integrator to determine if the network topology is adequate. Pelco recommends the consultation of a qualified network engineer who has a current Endura Design Certification and collaborates with select switch vendors. If additional assistance is required, Pelco offers professional services for the Endura‐certified integrator. CABLING All network cabling should adhere to the IEEE, EIA, and TIA specifications. When working with network cabling, ensure that you adhere to the following minimum requirements: • Cat5e is the minimum cabling standard for Endura with Cat6 the preferred cable to use • Maximum distance between network components shall not exceed 295 ft (9 m) with a margin of 10 percent • Minimum cable length shall never be less than 1 m unless connecting to a patch panel • Cable bend radius shall not exceed EIA/TIA‐568 bend radius of 4x cable diameter or 26 mm • When dressing cables, ensure that cable bundles are not inhibiting the exhaust vents on the back of the Endura servers. In addition, ensure zip‐ties do not exert additional strain on the cables. Where possible use Velcro‐type ties instead of zip‐ties. Routing of Data Communication Cables Power transformers create high‐energy fields in the form of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Heavy foot traffic can create ESD that can damage electronic components. Make sure to route data communication cables away from these areas, using shielded data communication cables that meet industry‐approved standards to reduce the effects of external fields. These shielded communication cables must be grounded at both ends. C2670M‐C ... -
Page 14: Network Time
NETWORK TIME The Endura System Manager is capable of serving as the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server for the Endura system; however, as the system manager is built upon a standard server platform, it will suffer drift over time. To maintain an accurate time for the entire system, Pelco recommends pointing the Endura system to either the NTP server for the rest of an organization’s network or a global positioning system (GPS) time source installed exclusively for the video surveillance system.

Page 15: Turning On The Endura System
TURNING ON THE ENDURA SYSTEM Endura equipment is of the same classification as IT equipment; all best practices for IT equipment site planning and deployments apply to Endura. Conditioned power must be available 100 percent of the time, and the environmental conditions of the equipment location must be maintained within specification. WARNING: If either conditioned power or the environmental conditions of the server room are outside the specified limits, data corruption and equipment failure can occur. The Endura system should only be turned on after the power and environmental conditioning systems are fully operational. C2670M‐C Page 15 ... -
