HWIN - Camera control and Video management

HWIN is the primary application for control of cameras in HERNIS CCTV systems. Extensive CCTV expertise
combined with the latest technology available has culminated in a highly efficient CCTV management environment with a professional design. The interface gives preference to video management in one or multiple
views by choice, and navigation is highly flexible bringing user experience to a new level.

The HWIN application is available in

two editions.

HWIN Standard - designed for

efficiency
The HWIN Standard edition is typically
used to control cameras in small to
medium sized CCTV systems. The new
design emphasises the user-experience, and offers state-of-the-art navigation features such as multiple video
panes, drag & drop functionality, popup menus and tooltips. Instant access
to recordings, easy camera browsing,
snapshot and local recording functions are other features at your fingertips. Setting up camera sequences,
multicamera switching, alarm actions
and other configuration is all done in
an intuitive environment optimising the
user experience. HWIN Standard may
be upgraded to HWIN Advanced.

HWIN Advanced - adding a

new dimension to CCTV
HWIN Advanced is the ultimate tool
for controlling cameras in medium to
large CCTV systems. With this application HERNIS takes CCTV one step
further. The software supports multisystem-access*, meaning that from
one single work station you can now
log on to multiple external CCTV systems on remote locations adding a
whole new dimension to your CCTV architecture! Whilst logging on to his local CCTV system, the user can access
and control any external HERNIS 500
CCTV systems that he is authorized
for, hence enabling him to control a
virtually unlimited number of cameras
spread over vast geographical areas.
To stay oriented in the volumes of
cameras and information in complex
CCTV systems, HWIN advanced offers

layered maps with camera and alarm

identifiers (hotspots) for quick navigation. Drag-&-drop, pop-up menus,
tooltips and other features further contribute to easy use.
*Linking multiple CCTV systems requires a Local Area Network.

The 4 Application modes

HWIN has 4 application modes, fulfilling these key purposes:
1. The Connection Mode is mainly
used for Logging on and off the
CCTV system, but this is also
where you do the application setup to create the most effective
work space for yourself.
2. The Live Mode is the normal operating mode used for all live functions such as viewing live video,
controlling the cameras, using presets, maps, video splits and more.
3. The Playback Mode is used to
access any video or images that
has been stored in the HERNIS
500 Video Recorders and on your
local hard disk.
4. The Configuration Mode is used
to define cameras, camera groups,
sequences, multi switches, alarm
actions and more. Some configurations are limited to spesific User
Access Levels.

The 4 User Access Levels

The system facilitates different user
access levels. These are: Guest - Operator - Supervisor - Service.
Your access level determines what
configuration you are allowed to use in
the CCTV system. Furthermore specific cameras in the CCTV system can be

reserved for users with specific privileges.

Navigation and Control

With the latest technology available
HERNIS has taken navigation to a
new level. With alternative optional
tools available every user can find his
preferred way of managing video and
cameras in the system. The new features are intuitive and time-saving, enhancing the user experience.
The main means of navigation are:
Drag & Drop - drag a camera or a sequence from the list and drop it on a
video pane to view the video.
In-video pan/tilt - click directly in the
video view to pan & tilt the camera.
The pan & tilt speed depends on your
position off centre.
Maps find and select cameras,
alarms etc. by navigating the maps and
interacting with the hotspots (graphical
camera and alarm identifiers).
Dynamic Context Menus - right click
on any map, map hotspot, video, camera, preset position, alarm etc. to view
a context menu/tools related to the
type of object you clicked.
Toolbars the most relevant functionality is easy to get at in the strategically
positioned toolbars available throughout the application (see illustrations).
For video functionality such as sound,
video quality, snapshot and local recording are available in the appurtenant video control toolbar.
Joystick control cameras and Pan/
Tilt/Zoom on 3-axis joystick with fully
configurable buttons (Iris, Focus,
Wipe, Wash, Camera Selection, Preset selection, Next/Previous camera)

selected by the operator without

leaving the Live View mode. HWIN
currently supports splits ranging from
one video, two videos plus map, up to
nine video feeds. (Whether HWIN can
decode and display multiple video
feeds depends on the speed and
graphics card of the computer running HWIN). Video from multiple CCTV
systems may be viewed at the same
time in any of the split views. HWIN
supports streamers and grabber cards
in addition to video from HERNIS 500
and HERNIS Flex video servers.

Maps

HWIN Advanced offers high-tech

map navigation. Maps provide the
overview needed to navigate quickly
on the one hand, and the appropriate
level of detail easily at hand on the
other. Detailed maps showing camera
and alarm positions (hotspots) allow
for easy drag & drop onto monitors to
show real time video.
The new design attends to the CCTV
operators need for quick and easy
navigation on complex sites, or even
in multiple CCTV systems combined*.
In the case of multi-system access the
top map would typically show system
hotspots, each linked to underlaying
detailed maps showing the camera
and alarm hotspots on the site. A map
thumbnail indicates the scope of the
map you have selected.

Alarms

The maps can be black and white

drawings, aerial views, photos or
custom made, as long as the image
is PNG, JPG or GIF or any format that
can be exported to either one of them.

Camera recordings in the HERNIS 500

and Flex systems are stored until the
server is full and must free up disk
space; the oldest recording is deleted
to free disk space for new recordings*. The total recording capacity for
a camera depends on the size of the
hard disk, the compression settings
and what the camera is recording.
Recordings are easily viewed and
downloaded to the local hard disk
from the Playback mode in HWIN.
*Note! This does not apply to Alarm
recordings that are write-protected
and may only be deleted upon confirmation by an authorised user.

The maps are configured in the HERNIS application (HAS).

Video and Video-splits

The new HWIN can display multiple

video feeds at the same time. The
videos can easily be organized in different splits in the HWIN configuration
module. This is supported for both
HERNIS 400, 500 and Flex systems.
Once configured, the splits can be

HERNIS CCTV systems may be

configured to carry out specific tasks
in the event of an alarm. One typical alarm action would be to make a
recording with retroactive effect of for
instance 10 seconds, making sure the
event leading to the alarm is recorded
and archived. Another typical alarm
event would be to relaying video from
a specific camera to a specific monitor. This is easily configured in the
HWIN configuration pages. Alarms
are signalled in the maps, in the alarm
list, on the monitor and in the split
menu in the navigation toolbar. Alarm
recordings may only be deleted upon
confirmation by authorised personnel.

Playback

OSD text

The OSD text helps identify video easily. Key information is displayed;
Name of Monitor
Name of CCTV system that the
camera belongs to
Status (recording/playback)
Name of camera
Name of preset position
Alarm information if an alarm is
triggered on the monitor
The subtitles can easily be hidden.
This is typically done in small systems
with only one monitor and camera.

Relay Outputs

With the Relay Output menu you

control output from the CCTV system
such as Light, Buzzers, Doors, Alarms
to others systems etc. This can
typically be used to open doors upon
verification of personell via live video.

DVRs

In analogue systems DVRs handle the

recording and playback of video.

Quad

Quads enable split views in analogue

systems. Once the configuration is
done the user experience is the same
in analogue and digital systems.
