Up to 8 HD‐SDI cameras can be specified at the time of the order. The Wavestore system uses two separate software programs: Wavestore server software (installed on the server box), responsible for managing and recording streams from audio and video inputs WaveView client software (also installed on the server box); provides a user interface to the Wavestore server software, for functions such as Live View/Search/Playback, and also server configuration WaveView client software can be installed on Linux or Windows PCs, and used to access networked Wavestore servers. WaveView client software running on the Wavestore server box can also be used to access networked Wavestore servers in the same way. Most server configuration tasks (e.g. user administration) can be performed remotely from a client, with only a small number needing to be carried out on the server itself. If we have multiple Wavestore servers connected to the same network, these servers can be configured as a Server Group (optional licensed upgrade), allowing a connected WaveView client to connect to the server group, and access channels from any of the servers within the group. Figure 1.1 – Typical System Configuration WSUSA‐MAN‐0020‐001 5 ...
2.2 Installation Considerations The server should be located in a cool, dry location, which has good ventilation. Exposing the internal components of the server (such as Hard Disks) to an elevated temperature will result in degraded performance and reduced operational life. 2.3 Hardware Connection Schematic Crystal Server Figure 2.1 Cabling Connections to Crystal Server WSUSA‐MAN‐0020‐001 7 ...
2.4 Stretch Compression Card Connections Please note that when connecting audio and video and audio inputs to the compression card sockets(s) on the server, the connections are orientated as follows: Stretch S6 Compression Cards (two connection sockets) Compression Card Type Upper Socket Lower Socket 8 channel card (DB9 connectors): Video (Yellow Connectors for Video Audio (Red Connectors) Input, Black Connector for Spot Monitor Output) 16 channel card (DVI connectors): Audio (Red Connectors) Video (Yellow Connectors for Video Input, Black Connector for Spot Monitor Output) Stretch S7 Compression Cards (single connection socket) Compression Card Type Single Socket ...
Audio (Red Connectors)/Video (Yellow Connectors for 8 channel card (DVI connector): Video Input, Black Connector for Spot Monitor Output) The first compression card fitted to the server (for Channels 1 – 8/16) has a spot monitor output, which can be programmed to display images from cameras that are connected to that compression card. 2.5 RS485 Connection for PTZ Control Wavestore servers supplied with capture cards for analog camera channels are supplied with an RS485 output for PTZ control. 2.5.1 Internal RS485 card Some servers have a built in RS485 output, with the pinouts as follows: Figure 2.5 DB9 pinout for RS485 PTZ control output (female connector) WSUSA‐MAN‐0020‐001 9 ...
2.5.2 External USB‐RS485 card Other servers use a USB –RS485 PTZ Converter as below: Figure 2.6 USB‐RS485 converter for PTZ control output This converter is connected to one of the server USB ports, and before it can used, the server then needs to be rebooted in order for the converter to be detected by the server software. The pin outs for TX+ and TX‐ are marked on the adapter terminals. 2.6 Stretch Alarm Board Connections Upper Nine Pin Connector: Alarm Output: 1‐8, Ground Lower Nine Pin Connector: Alarm Input: 1‐8, Ground Two Pin Connector: Not Used Figure 2.6 Stretch Alarm Board Connections WSUSA‐MAN‐0020‐001 10 ...
2.7 20 input USB Alarm Board Connections Figure 2.7 USB Alarm Board Connections The Wavestore server detects the USB alarm board during the server boot up sequence; once communication is established between the two devices, you will see the red “heartbeat” LED (closest to the USB cable connection) start to flash every few seconds. If you wish to add a USB Alarm Board to a server that is already operating, the server must be rebooted after the Alarm Board is connected, before it can be used. In the Alarm I/O Devices menu (Section 4.14 in the main Wavestore manual), configure the USB Alarm Board as Protocol: WaveAlarm, Port: usbX, and Baud Rate: 9600, and assign a block of ID numbers to the inputs and outputs. Each input/output much have its own unique ID number, if you are using multiple USB Alarm Boards, use a separate block of ID numbers for the inputs/outputs. WSUSA‐MAN‐0020‐001 11 ...
2.8 16x16 USB Alarm Board Connections The Wavestore 16x16 USB alarm board has 16 dedicated alarm inputs and 16 dedicated aux outputs. Figure 2.8 Wavestore 16x16 USB Alarm Board The dry inputs are isolated from the internal circuitry and Opto‐Isolators are used to protect against spikes and surges from the sensors (3kV isolation). The inputs all share a common GND, and are activated by pulling them to the common GND and deactivated by disconnecting from GND (or leave them floating). The Outputs, when activated have an internal connection to GND, and are floating when deactivated. Externally 5‐12V supply can be attached in series with an indicator or relay (coil), using the common GND as the 0V from the supply, when activated an output connects its circuit to that GND and completes the circuit. The outputs can pass up to 350mA if only one output is used, but 100mA is recommended for each output if several are in use at any one time. WSUSA‐MAN‐0020‐001 12 ...
An example of wiring connections to the alarm board: Figure 2.9 Wavestore 16x16 USB Alarm Board Connector Pinouts If you wish to add a USB Alarm Board to a server that is already operating, the server software must be restarted after the Alarm Board is connected, before it can be used. In the Alarm I/O Devices menu (Section 4.14 in the main Wavestore manual), configure the USB Alarm Board as Protocol: WaveAlarm, Port: ALARM‐x‐y‐z, and Baud Rate: 9600, and assign a block of ID numbers to the inputs and outputs. Each input/output much have its own unique ID number, if you are using multiple USB Alarm Boards, use a separate block of ID numbers for the inputs/outputs. 2.9 Monitor Connection The server will only detect a monitor if this device is connected and powered up when the server is first booted up. If the monitor is attached after the server has been booted up, no video display will be visible until the server is rebooted. Please note that use of any motherboard and graphic card HDMI outputs is not currently supported. WSUSA‐MAN‐0020‐001 13 ...
Section 3 Configuration 3.1 Logging into Server Once the server has been connected to any other devices being used on the system, press the power button on the front panel of the server. The server will take approximately 60 seconds to boot up; during this time a blue/white progress bar will fill from left to right. Once the server has completed booting up, the login screen will appear as below: Figure 3.1 WaveView launch screen Figure 3.2 WaveView login screen WSUSA‐MAN‐0020‐001 14 ...
The default server login is as follows: Server: localhost User Name: install Password: a In the event that the configured IP address on the server IP clashes with another device on the network, you will not be able to login on the server box using the server name “localhost.” In the “Server” field, replace “localhost” with the IP address “127.0.0.1,” and login as above. Section 3.4 describes how to reconfigure the server IP address if required. 3.2 Live View Screen The Live View screen (menu path View ‐> Main) is shown below: Pull Down Device Event Playback PTZF Live Event Video Display Video Display Status Menus Tree Controls Controls Controls Stream Area Area Toolbar Indicator Figure 3.3 ‐ WaveView Live View Screen WSUSA‐MAN‐0020‐001 15 ...

Figure 3.6 Time & Region settings – Slewing of server time after time has been set manually For a larger time change (greater than 29 minutes), a reboot of the system will be required (menu path View ‐> Setup ‐> Devices ‐> Server Administration ‐> Reboot System). Once the server has rebooted, the server time will move to the new time. If the server time is modified to coincide with previous recording, then the old recording will be overwritten. In some cases, it is recommended to reformat the server hard drives after altering the time and date by a large amount. Network Time Protocol (NTP) can be used to synchronize the server time with a networked time source. To configure NTP, check the “Use an NTP Server” radio button; enter the IP address of the time source in the box provided, and click “Save” to confirm your changes. WSUSA‐MAN‐0020‐001 18 ...

3.13 Shutting down the Server It is acceptable to shut down the Wavestore simply by removing power. The Wavestore software is designed to be robust when power fails unexpectedly, and no data is lost (other than the last second or two which might not have been flushed to disk). The Wavestore will recover and fully check its storage in less than a second when power is reapplied. There is no need for external UPS devices. If your Wavestore is connected to external RAID devices, then other shutdown rules might apply to those RAID devices. Many RAID boxes do require UPS protection and must be powered down in an orderly fashion. If it is desirable to shut down the Wavestore by software, follow the menu path View ‐> Setup ‐> Devices ‐> Server Administration ‐> Shutdown System: Figure 3.38 Shutting down server from WaveView 3.14 Logging out from the Server Follow menu path File ‐> Disconnect to disconnect from the Wavestore server Figure 3.39 Disconnecting from Server WSUSA‐MAN‐0020‐001 47 ...

I have multiple Wavestore servers networked together and I am viewing cameras on a remote client PC. The screen text displays 25ips, but sometimes the actual displayed rate seems to be lower than this? This is likely due to network bandwidth limitations, if several remote clients are connected to the Wavestore server. As a consequence, the camera images displayed by the remote clients are refreshed less frequently. A user can select to view a lower resolution video stream for that camera, by selecting this from the Video Display Toolbar, as described in Section 5.5.1 in the main Wavestore server manual. In addition, each user of the system can be configured with a bandwidth limit; to set this up, follow the menu path View ‐> Setup ‐> Users screen, highlight the user that you wish to configure, and then reconfigure the Maximum Bandwidth setting.
