Purpose, Implementation And Operation Principles
1. Purpose, Implementation And

Operation Principles
1.1 Purpose
SecurOS software is designed to control video surveillance and analytic systems deployed within
local or global networks. Simple scaling of software and hardware platforms allows to create video
surveillance systems of any complexity — from local systems which are intended to control small- and
middle-scale objects to complex systems that allow to control physical and organizational structures
and facilities (e.g. buildings, roads, power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise.
1.2 Hardware Implementation
1.2.1 Types Of Servers And Workstations

1.2.1.1 Classification by Functionality
All computers connected to the SecurOS network are divided by the functionality into the following
main categories that define the SecurOS software installation type:
• Video Server.
• Operator Workstation.
• Administrator Workstation.
• Application Server.
The system administrator defines the installation type while planning the system architecture and sets
it during the installation procedure. On each computer on the network only one installation type is
allowed. A brief description of the installation types can be seen below.
1.2.1.1.1 Video Server

Video Server is an application server, designed to receive video from connected CCTV analog and/or IP
network cameras. If analog cameras are used then video capture devices (Intelligent Security Systems
Video Capture Cards or supported IP video capture devices) need to be installed on (or connected to)
the Video Server. The Video server is a computer that is used to connect cameras (CCTV analog
and/or IP cameras), to receive video from them, or to connect audio captured devices.
In addition to the direct connection of cameras this installation type allows to install or connect the
various security devices (fire alarm system controllers, access control subsystem controllers, etc.) and
intelligent software modules (e.g., License Plate Recognition Module). Using the Video server one
can also perform the SecurOS security network administration.
www.isscctv.com
1.2.1.1.2 Operator Workstation

The Operator Workstation is a client computer in the security network designed for remote viewing
of video from surveillance cameras, listening to audio, managing various devices such as PTZ devices,
doors, fire alarm and other subsystems.
1.2.1.1.3 Application Server
The functionality is available in the following editions: SecurOS Professional, SecurOS Enterprise.
The Application Server implements all the Video server functionality except for connecting cameras,
and receiving video and audio streams. Using the Application Server one can also perform the
SecurOS security network administration
1.2.1.1.4 Administrator Workstation
The functionality is available in the following editions: SecurOS Professional, SecurOS Enterprise.
The Administrator workstation is a client computer similar to the operator workstation but has an
additional administrator interface for configuring the security network. On such a computer one can
perform the following administrator operations:
• Create and configure the system objects
• Delete existing objects
• Change the parameters of the created and operating objects
1.2.1.2 Classification by Network Role

1.2.1.2.1 Configuration Server
Reliable operation of the security system within the network which consists of several typical servers
that allow to configure system independently is possible only if system settings are actual on the each
of network servers at the moment.
Actual system configuration is updated and then duplicated to each network server with the help
of Configuration Server. Configuration Server is the dedicated network server which implements
enhanced functionality against typical.
Configuration Server is assigned during system installation and can not be reassigned at system
operation. Configuration Server can be represented by any of the typical network computers — Video
Server, Application Server or Administrator Workstation.
Warning! The only one network server can be assigned Configuration Server.
In the SecurOS Lite, SecurOS Xpress Editions Video Server implements the Configuration Server.
Actual system configuration is stored on the Configuration Server. Each of Peripheral Servers stores
working copy of the system configuration.
www.isscctv.com
1.2.1.2.2 Peripheral Server

The Peripheral Server is an any of network servers, except Configuration Server. Peripheral server
is assigned during the system installation and can be represented by any of the typical network
computers — Video Server, Application Server or Administrator Workstation.
Warning! Peripheral Server can’t apply configuration changes independently.
1.2.1.2.3 Managing Network Configuration by Configuration Server

System configuration is updated accordingly to the following algorithm:
Note: Described algorithm is applicable to the any type of operations with tree’s objects and its settings,
including creating, editing and deleting.
1. Using any of Peripheral Servers administrator (or operator) changes tree structure and/or object
settings for that Computer (or Computers), configuration of which is need to be modified.
2. Peripheral Server used to modify configuration generates an appropriate request to the Config-
uration Server.
Note:
a) If Configuration Server is used to modify configuration changes are applied on Configuration Server
directly, with no request.
b) When Configuration Server is unavailable it’s not possible to modify system configuration using
Peripheral Server.
3. Configuration Server processes received request and applies changes first renewing it’s own
objects tree and objects settings, than generates and sends to each of the Peripheral Servers a
command to update state of the appropriate objects in its working copies. If Peripheral Server
is switched off when changes must be applied, the command will be sent to Peripheral Server
when connection with the Configuration Server will be restored.
4. Having received the command to update its working copy each of the Peripheral Servers applies
the changes by updating own objects tree and/or settings of appropriate objects.
Note: The queries are processed by Configuration Server consistently in order of creation. Only one
request is processed by Configuration Server at the moment. The next request processing is locked until
current request is closed and changes are applied on the Configuration Server.
1.2.2 Types Of System Configuration

1.2.2.1 Standalone Configuration
Standalone configuration assumes that SecurOS modules and database are installed on the single
network server. This configuration is typical for the small-scaled entry-level systems.
www.isscctv.com
1.2.2.2 Client-Server Configuration

In client-server configuration server and client components are deployed on different network com-
puters. Within network each computer provides specific functionalities according to the types of the
components installed. This configuration is typical for the middle-level systems.
1.2.2.3 Distributed Network Environment

In this configurations each security system cluster is maintained with the individual instance of the
SecurOS, which is implemented in Client-Server architecture. This configuration is intended to use for
security systems within branched networks and intense data streams and makes it possible to reduce
loading on the server components.
1.3 Software Implementation

SecurOS software consists of a few subsystems which implement specific functionalities of the security
system. Modular structure of each subsystem allows to configure the whole system according to the
specific requirements providing high system performance.
1.3.1 SecurOS’ Subsystems

1.3.1.1 Core Subsystem
Core subsystem, containing objects and their settings corresponding to main system components, such
as users and computers. Also organization structure of the system and data storage are configured
within this subsystem, as well as system statistics collection parameters.
1.3.1.2 Interface Subsystem
