Selecting the installation place
For a correct installation, select a suitable place taking the following into consideration:
- Comply with the environmental and operating specifications provided
in the paragraph "Environmental specifications"
- Leave sufficient free space around the peripheral both for ventilation
and for maintenance operations; in particular, leave at least 20 cm on
each side and sufficient space for door opening.
- Install the device where a stable support can be ensured.
- The place must be dry, free from water infiltrations, dust, vibration,
strong electromagnetic fields, source of heat and sharp temperature
changes.
- A medium-high signal level must be provided with the GSM version,
even using an external antenna if necessary. To check the GSM signal
level, use the F2 key available on the PR-G1 unit.
- Access to the system by unauthorized persons must be prevented.
Installation procedure
This procedure provides a track to be followed, but cannot be considered as
exhaustive for all possible installation conditions; in any case, the steps indicated are required for complete configuration of the peripherals, and
additional installation steps may be required, or some steps removed, depending on the different models and based on specific requirements.
Install the equipment following the steps described below:
- Fasten the device taking care to allow the connection cables to get up
to the holes on the container bottom.
- Connect the video signal cables coming from the cameras to VIDEO
IN and GND VIDEO inputs on the terminal board.
- Connect the OUT VIDEO output to a monitor, if necessary, for cyclic
display.
- Connect the sensors with a wire to terminals IN and GND preferably
using a shielded-conductor cable.
- Connect any other device to the outputs, preferably according to the
diagram shown in Appendix B.
- Connect the PSTN or ISDN telephone line to the modem input.
- Connect the external GSM antenna, if required.
- Install the GSM Sim Card, if any, following the instructions provided in
Appendix B.

Setting parameters
Upon final testing at SICEP, the peripheral is adequately configured for operation with the appropriate communication devices based on the model; the
installer is supposed to customize installation by programming specific recording and communication parameters.
In this regard, please refer to the subsequent sections concerning the peripheral's functionalities and instructions to set its parameters.
Page 17
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
How to check installation
To check the correctness of installation, the installer is supposed to be familiar with the peripheral's functionalities and maintenance tools such as
SicepMvc and PR-G1; for further information on this subject, please see
subsequent sections.
After completing installation and setting the desired operation parameters,
the correctness of installation should be checked again following the steps
listed below:
- Check signal quality and camera positioning using a personal computer with the SicepMvc software installed.
- Check the video signal quality, and change it if necessary, using a personal computer with the SicepMvc software installed.
- If the cameras are parallel connected to other devices as well and if it is
absolutely necessary to eliminate the 75Ω termination on the peripheral, the input resistances of video channels can be cut. See Appendix
B for further information on this operation.
- With ARC-8CD models, cancel the disk, wait for a few minutes after
peripheral reset and then send a video log request from the beginning
of recordings, ensuring that images, date and time are consistent.
- Perform a real time video query on all available communication devices and ensure that the peripheral responds correctly.
- If an receiver exists, perform a transmission test by pressing the SW
TEST key on the logic card; the peripheral will transmit an octal
(ARC-8C/CD) or a quad (ARC-4C) for 10 seconds.

Chap. 6 - Functionalities
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
6 - Functionalities
This section describes the operation of the peripheral starting from the
modes and operating states and continuing with a description of the different
functionalities available.
6.1 - General features
The ARC-8C/CD and ARC-4C peripherals have been designed to digitalize
images taken by analogue color or B/W cameras. These images are then
processed through a proprietary SICEP differential JPEG compression algorithm to reduce the amount of data to be managed.
The peripherals have digital inputs and outputs, video inputs, one video output and communication ports through which they interact with the external
environment.
The digital inputs, video inputs and communication ports may cause
changes in the peripheral status according to the operating mode of the peripheral itself and based on its configuration.
The following paragraphs contain a description of images acquisition
modes, operation in the different operating statuses and operating modes.
6.2 - Imaging
In general, the peripherals acquire images for the following reasons:
- to build the pre-alarm video
- to build the alarm video
- to build the query response video
The images acquired are processed in all the modes described above
through a proprietary SICEP differential JPEG compression algorithm to reduce the amount of data to be managed.
This algorithm works with the differences between subsequent images by
capturing an entire image as a reference both at the beginning of the image
acquisition (imaging) process and periodically, every 30 seconds.
Page 19
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Pre-alarm video
The pre-alarm video consists of the images acquired before an alarm event.
In order for this video to be available, it needs to have been previously associated to one of the possible causes of alarm.
Causes of alarms are logic inputs and the cameras themselves; image processing can be activated so as to be able to generate alarms such as: Motion
Detector, Video Cutting and Black-Out.
To capture a pre-alarm video, at least one of the following operations is required:
- associate a pre-alarm video to one or more logic inputs;
- activate one of the following functions: Motion Detector, Video Cutting
or Black-Out on one or more cameras.
NOTE. As regards the inputs, any video can be associated to any
input, while activating an alarm function such as Motion Detector,
Video Cutting and Black-Out on a camera will cause the video of the
same camera to be captured.
With the appropriate configuration and operating mode, the peripheral will
start capturing the pre-alarm videos operating in multiplex mode, that is by
cyclically acquiring the different pre-alarm videos required:
Ex.: tele1, tele2, tele3, tele1, tele2, tele3, and so on.
The images acquired are then stored in the volatile memory of the peripheral, which is progressively filled; when the memory is full, new images will
replace the oldest.
Page 20
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Alarm video
The alarm video consists of the images acquired after and due to an alarm
event. There are two video capturing modes available, according to the
presence or absence of a Hard Disk:
- ARC-4C and ARC-8C:
since these devices have no hard disk, they are exclusively dedicated
to capturing the video associated to the cause of the alarm, which is
sent to a remote receiver.
- ARC-8CD:
since these devices are provided with hard disk, they are dedicated to
capturing the video associated to the cause of the alarm according to
the preset mode, to recording onto a hard disk and/or sending the
video to a remote receiver, or they can keep capturing the images from
the other cameras required for the pre-alarm video.
NOTE. As regards the inputs, any video can be associated to any
input, while activating an alarm video on a camera will cause the
video of the same camera to be captured.
Query response video
The video responding to queries may be of the following types:
- Real time video:
the peripheral is exclusively dedicated to capturing the video required
by the remote user.
- Video for automatic queries:
upon the remote user's request, the peripheral will capture a single
frame per each video input. This function is available only on the
Data9000 MVS software.
- Recordings video:
upon the remote user's request, the peripheral will transmit the images
recorded on the hard disk and simultaneously continue to acquire the
pre-alarm video; of course, this is only available on the models provided with a hard disk.
Page 21
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
6.3 - Statuses of the peripheral
The status of the peripheral indicates the context in which the peripheral is
currently operating:
- Pre-alarm:
The peripheral scans for alarm conditions; if any such situation is detected, the peripheral will go into the alarm status. In the pre-alarm
status, the peripheral scans for any queries and passes into this status, if it finds some.
- Alarm:
This manages the alarm status and returns into pre-alarm status.
- Query:
The peripheral responds to queries using one of the communication
communication devices.
Pre-alarm status
The pre-alarm or 'normal' status consists in a waiting time, during which the
peripheral cyclically carries out the following operations:
- Check for the presence of alarm signalling
- Check of communication communication devices and for the presence of any requests
- Acquisition of the pre-alarm video
Alarm status
If an alarm condition occurs, the peripheral will retrieve the pre-alarm video
associated to the alarm cause from the memory and prepares it for the
scheduled management: recording on hard disk and/or transmission to a remote receiver. Once the pre-alarm video is retrieved, the peripheral goes
into the alarm status, where it acquires the relevant video and stays in that
status for the preset duration for the alarm video.
In case of multiple alarms in sequence, the system will follow the alarms:
when a new alarm goes off, the video capturing function passes onto the
camera associated to it.
NOTE. If appropriately configured, the peripherals provided with a
Hard Disk may continue to acquire the video from the pre-alarm cameras even in the alarm status.
Query status
The peripheral goes into query status upon a remote user's request and
stays in that status until that remote user interrupts the connection.
Page 22
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
6.4 - The peripheral's operating mode
The peripheral's operating mode will depend on the state of the INS/DIS input. So, there are two operating modes:
- System enabled:
The INS.DIS input is open: the peripheral will manage each alarm signal coming from digital or video inputs, and each query coming from
communication ports.
- System disabled:
The INS.DIS input is short-circuited: the peripheral will only manage a
signalling subsystem or queries coming from respective digital inputs
and com mu ni ca tion de vices (in this re gard, see sub se quent
paragraphs).
6.5 - Functional features shared among all models
The following paragraphs will describe the functions provided on all models.
Models ARC-8C and ARC-4C only differ in the number of video and digital
inputs and outputs, while ARC-8CD models are provided with a hard disk allowing for digital recording functions.
NOTE. When the term "recording" is used in the paragraphs below,
it is always referred only to the models provided with hard disk.
Service serial port
The peripherals are provided with a service serial port available both on a 9
pole female serial connector called P52, for configuration from personal
computer through SicepMVC software, and on a 5 pole DIN-type connector
for configuration through PR-G1.
Upon switching on and after each RESET the serial is disabled; to enable it,
hold down the PRG MODE push-button until the TX, RX and ACK LEDs on
the front panel start flashing; if the PR-G1 is connected, the following message will be shown on the display: "PRG MODE ON". To disable the service
serial, press the PRG MODE push-button again until the LEDs start flashing;
the message "PRG MODE OFF" will be shown on the PR-G1 display.
The service serial port will be kept enabled for the whole duration of the configuration activity; if it remains inactive for more than 5 minutes, the serial is
automatically disabled.
Page 23
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Communication communication devices
According to the models, the peripherals are provided with one or more
communication devices whose function is to answer remote queries and
send alarm signals to selected receivers.
NOTE. Communication is allowed on one communication device at
a time.
All the possible type of communication devices are described in the subsequent paragraphs.
Modem
The peripherals may be supplied in may different configurations depending
on the type of modem they support (in particular, ISDN, PSTN and/or GSM
modems are available).
WARNING
WARNING!
If an ISDN modem is used, the ISDN box must be configured as
Point-Multipoint.
Tcp/ip
All the peripherals have a 10BaseT Ethernet type network interface, allowing for their connection to a network through a hub or a switch or directly to a
personal computer.
WARNING
WARNING!
The system to which the peripheral is connected through an
Ethernet interface must be a 10BaseT or of a type capable of detecting and switching automatically onto that standard.
In case of direct connection to a PC, provide a cross-type network cable;
conversely, a straight cable is required for a hub or switch connection. Both
cables are described in Appendix C.
The peripheral communicates on the ethernet network using the TCP/IP
protocol; all the necessary parameters for this purpose can be configured
specifically.
NOTE. TCP/IP carrier settings are described at page 53 of the
PR-G1 menu and on the "Generals" page available on SicepMvc.
Page 24
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Queries
The peripheral is continuously waiting for queries coming from remote users
through the available communication devices.
The queries can be of the following types:
- Real time video queries
- Log-type video queries
- Queries on the status of inputs and outputs, including output piloting
The access to the peripheral's functions is always protected by a password
system with a two-tier structure, so that the user needs to know the code of
the peripheral and the password associated to the each operation available.
So, two types of access are available:
- Primary access:
for this type of access the user needs to know the primary password;
this access allows the user to change the settings from a remote location using the SicepMvc software and all the types of queries listed
above.
- Secondary access:
for this type of access the user needs to know the secondary password; this access only allows for the types of queries listed above.
NOTE. A two-tier type of access can be especially useful when the
installer wishes to reserve the exclusive right to change the peripheral's configuration (primary access), while allowing the peripheral to
be queried by users (secondary access).
All the possible types of queries are described in the following paragraphs.
Page 25
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Real time video queries
Users can connect to the peripheral at any time and ask for real time viewing
of any camera or a combination of cameras (quad or octal).
With an enabled system, real time querying is always available, while when
the system is disconnected this possibility will depend on whether the "Privacy on deactivated peripheral" function has been activated or not; when
this function is enabled, if the system is disconnected, the remote user cannot view video images, but only the status of inputs and outputs or control
them.
NOTE. Automatic video queries, available only with Data 9000
MVS, are regulated by the above-mentioned privacy rules.
Log-type video queries
At any moment and independently on the system status, the remote user
can request the recordings related to a camera or combination of cameras
starting from a given date and time.
NOTE. The recordings are obviously available only on the
ARC-8CD models provided with hard disk.
It is possible to query only the modes corresponding to the recording modes
used; in other words, if only full-screen cameras have been recorded, it is not
possible to query a quad or an octal, and vice versa.
Each frame is marked with its own date and time; when a recording is requested, the peripheral performs the search answering with the first
available frames with identical date and time or subsequent.
During a log-type video query, the peripheral continues to capture and record the pre-alarm video.
Queries on the status of inputs and outputs, including output piloting
At any moment and independently on the system status, a remote user can
request the status of digital inputs and outputs. Similarly, the user can control, as remote controls, those digital outputs that are configured as static or
monostable.
Page 26
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Receivers
If the peripheral detects an alarm condition, it is capable of autonomously
performing some attempts at connecting with the preset receivers using the
available communication communication devices.
NOTE. Alarms can be received only by receivers provided with
DATA 9000 MVS software.
There are up to 4 possible receivers available to be called. In order for the
peripheral to perform a connection attempt toward one of these, the following settings must have been established:
- the communication device to be used
- the receiver's telephone number or IP address
- the number of attempts to perform for that receiver
When an alarm occurs, the peripheral tries to establish a connection with the
first receiver; if the connection fails, the peripheral tries again for the preset
number of attempts. If all the attempts fail, the device passes to the subsequent receiver, and so on.
In any case, the alarm is only sent to the first receiver with which a valid connection is established.
If a connection is established, the peripheral sends the alarm signal to the receiver first and subsequently, if pre-established, the alarm and pre-alarm
video; during this stage, the peripheral will not respond to any video query
until the forwarding is completed.
At the end of transmission, the peripheral remains connected for a
configurable time defined as "Command wait"; during this period, the device is available for further queries by the receiver.
NOTE. The settings regarding receivers are explained at pages 61,
62, 63, and 64 of the PRG1 menu and in the Receivers of
Addresser page available through SicepMvc. The Command wait
parameter is explained at page 71 of the PRG1 menu and on the
"Generals" page available on SicepMvc.
Page 27
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Digital inputs
The digital inputs available on ARC-8C/CD and ARC-4C peripherals include:
- 1 input for peripheral enabling and disabling;
- logical inputs that can be alarmed through sensors (8 for ARC-8C/CD
and 4 for ARC-4C).
At any moment, a remote user is allowed to query the peripheral and retrieve
the digital input status.
Enabling input
The enabling input, marked with the "INS.DIS" label on the terminal board
serigraphy, allows the peripheral to be operated as a sort of alarm control
unit; this means that it can be used in the two different modes related to the
input status:
- enabled system with an open input
- disabled system with a short-circuited input
The signal of the change in the operating mode, if the relevant "Transmit
Activation/Deactivation" function is activated on the peripheral, is sent to
an operating control unit provided with a suitable reception software.
NOTE. To use this function, an input must be configured as logic
channel 99 in the Data9000 MVS software.
Logical inputs
Logical inputs, marked by the "IN1..8" label on the terminal board serigraphy, allow for connection to as many sensors which, if activated, can send
the peripheral into the alarm status.
The inputs can be configured in a number of different ways:
- VIDEO, LOGICAL:
to generate alarms with or without an associated video
- ON, OFF, ON/OFF:
to generate alarms in case of input opening only, input closing only,
and both input opening and closing
- To manage the alarm event in different ways, that is recording onto
hard disk and/or transmission to a remote receiver.
- 24H:
to generate alarms even when the system is disabled.
Page 28
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
If the input is of the VIDEO type, a pre-alarm and an alarm video can be associated to it with the relevant durations in terms of time.
NOTE. In order to optimize performances, we suggest to set only
videos with really operating and full-screen cameras rather than
quads and octals. For example, do not set absent cameras or quad
and octal combinations, since no full-screen image can be retrieved
from these.
If the input is of the LOGICAL type, each alarm will produce a signal without
any associated video, which will be managed according to the mode programmed: recording on hard disk and/or transmission to a remote receiver.
NOTE. Input settings are described at page 72 of the PR-G1 menu
and on the "Inputs" page available on SicepMvc.
Digital outputs
Digital inputs available on ARC-8C/CD and ARC-4C peripherals include 1
enabling output and 8 logical outputs (4 for ARC-4C).
At any moment, a remote user is allowed to query the peripheral and retrieve
or control the digital output status.
Enabling output
The enabling output, marked by the "OEN" label on the terminal board serigraphy, is designed to enable/disable the system from a remote location. To
be enabled and used, it must be directly connected to the INS.DIS connection input on the terminal board.
NOTE. To use this function, an output must be configured as logic
channel 99 in the Data9000 MVS software.
Logical outputs
The outputs available can be used to control loads through relays. Their operation can be configured in either of the following modes available:
- Illuminator:
This output cannot be remotely controlled, but is automatically enabled by the peripheral every time some video is captured by the
corresponding camera. For example, output 1 corresponds to camera
1.
Page 29
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
-
Static:
This output can be remotely controlled and stays in the status controlled through the last control.
- Monostable:
This output can be remotely enabled; it remains in the status enabled
for the time preset in the "Pulse duration" parameter.
Among the various outputs, the user can select the one called "Generic
alarm output", that is the output that must be automatically enabled if one of
the possible alarms occurs, excluding the one corresponding to ISDN line
failure, which has its own dedicated output.
The generic alarm output behaves differently according to its configuration:
- Monostable:
the output is enabled for the time set in the "Pulse duration" parameter.
- Static:
the output is enabled as soon as the alarm is detected and it is disabled
at the end of a connection with a remote receiver.
- Illuminator:
the alarm has no effect.
NOTE. Output settings are described at page 74 of the PR-G1
menu and on the "Outputs" page available on SicepMvc.
Video inputs
The different video signals on the inputs are digitalized and compressed to
make them available for the processing and recording required. A level can
be set for each video input and the automatic gain control function called
"Agc" can also be enabled. Furthermore, the approximation of the compression algorithm can be changed.
NOTE. The approximation parameter can be changed to reduce
image transmission times and the space for recordings on disk.
Video inputs can also be used to generate alarms. Processing the images
allows different types of alarms to be generated, such as: Motion Detector
alarm, video black-out alarm and no video alarm.
Enabling one of the above-mentioned alarms will automatically generate a
pre-alarm video and an alarm video, if necessary, whose duration and recording modes are respectively established by Pre-alarm T., Alarm T. and
Rec. Mode parameters.
Page 30
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Motion Detector
Generals
The peripherals considered use a video image processing technology that
allows for the implementation of an automatic motion detection system
called Motion Detector. This function is a useful complement to obtain good
performances and simple installations; its use is mainly designed for indoor
operation, but it can also be used outdoors in some particular cases.
WARNING
WARNING!
The use of the Motion Detector is under the total responsibility of
the Installer, as he is the only technician qualified to determine
whether an environment is suitable or not for its installation.
The Motion Detector can be enabled on all cameras, each of which has 8 areas that can be configured independently as to shape and parameters.
Each area works autonomously with respect to the others, so that different
situations can be controlled on the same camera. The elementary image
processing unit consists of 8x8 pixel square blocks called small blocks.
The Motion Detector is based on the brightness changes due to the introduction of foreign bodies in the sensitive areas; in case any change occurs, if
the set Sensibility is such as to detect them, the small block switches from
the normal to the alarm status. Alarm blocks and normal blocks can coexist
in each individual area. When the number of alarm blocks exceeds the value
set in the "Intruder Size" parameter, the area, consequently the peripheral,
goes into alarm status.
In order to limit false alarm generation, some particular algorithms have
been introduced to neglect irrelevant brightness changes.
It is important to highlight that when the number of alarmed blocks exceeds
the "Intruder Size" threshold the area is not passed into the alarm status immediately, but this condition must be permanent (for a certain period of time)
in order for this to happen. This time interval is not fixed and cannot be set,
but is automatically established by the algorithm.
Page 31
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
The status of the Motion Detector, that can be directly viewed on the images
available through the SicepMVC software, can take on multiple aspects:
- If the images have no additional symbols: the Motion Detector is in the
normal state and no block is alarmed.
- If the images contain visible black symbols: the Motion Detector is in
the normal state, the number of alarmed blocks does not exceed the
Intruder value.
- If the images contain visible symbols in the colour of the relevant
area: the Motion Detector is in the normal state, the number of alarmed
blocks has exceeded the Intruder value, but not long enough to generate an alarm.
- If the images contain visible < symbols in the colour of the relevant
area: the Motion Detector is in the alarm status.
- The status of the Motion Detector is displayed in the "Motion Detector
Status" box: Alarm or Normal.
For particular applications, a sequence of areas can be established that
must be alarmed individually before an effective Motion Detector alarm is
generated. In this case, the alarm is generated only and if the areas are
alarmed following the pre-established sequence and within the preset time
interval.
- The Motion Detector can be activated at system insertion or at a system insertion with a time-set basis. In the second case, its operation
can be limited to two daily time slots on a weekly basis.
NOTE. To activate the motion detector on a time basis, please refer
to the "Motion hours" page on the SicepMVC software.
Page 32
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Motion Detector configuration
The procedure described below should be followed to configure the Motion
Detector using the SicepMvc software. See the relevant section of this manual for further information.
- After connecting the device, select the SicepMVC page regarding the
camera on which the Motion Detector is to be used.
- Select the framing for the camera (this is a very important factor, as the
field should be neither excessively large nor excessively narrow).
- Enable the Motion Detector alarm by checking the appropriate box in
the "Video Alarms" group.
- Select the area to be configured using the "Area" control in the "Motion
detector area parameters" group. The Area control selects the current
area and all the configuration actions are referred to that area.
- Enable the current area and select the colour (8 colours are available,
so a different colour can be assigned to each area).
Draw the area using the available tools: pen and eraser The area should be
built specifically avoiding sharp brightness changes due to environmental
causes, and so as to highlight those due to the event to be detected; set the
area preferably on poorly detailed backgrounds and not on excessively
clear or glossy surfaces.
- Set the foreign body size to be used as alarm-generating threshold using the "Intruder Size" parameter expressed in number of blocks.
Take the area sensitivity to a value of 80 and simulate an intrusion; keep adjusting the sensitivity and intrusion object parameters until the following
events occur:
- no alarmed block should be ever seen with no intrusion object introduced;
- the Motion Detector must be alarmed upon intrusion object passage;
- If the alarm function is used on a sequence of areas, as described
above, repeat the operations listed above to set the other areas, set
the "Area sequence" and "Sequence Max T." parameters, and simulate the presentation of the sequence to ensure its outcome in the
"Motion detector status" box.
NOTE. To configure the motion detector, please refer to the
"Camera" page on the SicepMVC software.
Page 33
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Video black-out
When enabled, an alarm is generated when the image is suddenly darkened
on the camera.
WARNING
WARNING!
In order to avoid false alarms, the area shot by the cameras with
the "Black-Out" function must be constantly lit.
Video cutting
When enabled, an alarm is generated when the video signal on the corresponding input is missing.
Quad
The peripherals have an internal function called QUAD that ca be used to
obtain a digital composition of 4 cameras to rapidly and simultaneously control multiple cameras. 4 preset compositions are available: Quad1..4.
NOTE. The Quad function is not available for the video output and
is not reversible, that is to say it is not possible to retrieve the original
full-screen images from it.
Octal
Similarly to the quad function, another function is available on ARC-8C/CD
peripherals, provided with 8 video inputs, allowing a digital combination of 8
cameras to be obtained. The resulting image is subdivided into 9 parts, one
of which is not used.
NOTE. As for the quad, the OCTAL function too is not available or
reversible for the video output.
Video output
Video signals inputting the peripherals are not only digitalized and compressed, but also cyclically sent to a video output marked with the "OUT
VIDEO" label on the terminal board serigraphy, which can be connected to
an analogue monitor for local surveillance. The sequence and permanence
times on each input can be programmed as the user prefers.
Page 34
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Internal checks
The peripheral carries out some internal checks to ensure its own operating
state; in particular, it checks the mains voltage supply, door closing and battery charge status. When there is a change in one of the above-mentioned
checks, the peripheral sends a signal to a preset remote receiver.
Power failure
The power supply is continuously monitored by the peripheral to check both
the 230/110Vac mains voltage and the power supply unit operation. Should
any failure occur, a timer is activated to count a preset number of minutes, after which, if power supply has not been restored, a signal is sent to a preset
remote receiver.
NOTE. Obviously, the condition described above is possible only
when a buffer battery is provided.
To configure the number of minutes to wait before the power failure
signal is sent, access page 71 of the PR-G1 menu and the “Generals” page available on SicepMvc.
Tampering
The system container is provided with an anti-tampering microswitch called
"Tamper". At each opening/closing of the door, a signal is sent to a preset remote receiver.
Battery down
The peripheral continuously checks the power voltage value; if this goes
down below 10.5V, a signal is sent to a preset remote receiver, while its resetting is transmitted when voltage goes up to over 12.5V.
The purpose of this check is to ensure that the power supply unit works properly with the mains voltage at 230/110Vac and, in case of voltage failure, that
the buffer battery installed is in the proper state of charge.
WARNING
WARNING!
In ARC-8CD peripherals, if the battery voltage is lowered below
a threshold of 10.5 volt, recording on the hard disk is interrupted.
Page 35
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
ISDN line check
The peripherals provided with an ISDN modem implement a function to detect ISDN line cutting.
The device calls itself at 1 minute intervals and, based on the answer obtained, it infers the line status (supplied or failing). If the ISDN line is absent
for the total number of preset attempts, the line failure alarm output is
activated.
The line failure alarm output behaves differently according to its configuration:
- Monostable:
the output is enabled for the time set in the "Pulse duration" parameter.
- Static:
the output is activated as soon as the alarm is detected and must be
disabled explicitly by an operator.
- Illuminator:
the alarm has no effect.
As regards the operation of the activated output, the same conditions described for the general alarm output apply.
WARNING
WARNING!
No charge is debited by the telephone line provider for this check
because there is no answer to the call. The number to be dialled
must be the number of the peripheral and the ISDN box, which
must be of the Point-Multipoint type, should have no other
ISDN devices connected and answering.

ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
6.6 - ARC-8CD models specifications
The ARC-8CD models are also provided with a hard disk digital recording
function.
The video recorded on the hard disk is the video that the peripheral is acquiring based on the preset recording mode, operating mode and peripheral
status.
This recording can be continuous or activated only in case of an alarm event.
Once the Hard Disk is full, the oldest recordings are overwritten.
The recordings stored on the HD can be retrieved at any moment following
the methods described in the previous section "Log-type video queries".
NOTE. Disk use statistics are made available by the peripheral at
page 81 of the PR-G1 menu and on the Hard Disk page on
SicepMvc.
If large amounts of video are to be transferred on another support or if the
user needs to perform queries in a simple and fast way, the Hard Disk can be
removed, installed on a PC and access to it may be ensured through the
Arc8DiskTool application, a software allowing for searching and exporting
shots in AVI format.
The following sections contain descriptions of all the disk recording
functions.
When the disk is accessed, both for writing and reading, the IDE led in the
right-hand upper corner of the peripheral is lit.
NOTE. In case of Hard Disk malfunction, an alarm message is sent
to a remote receiver provided with DATA 9000 MVS software.
Page 37
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Recording mode
As previously described, the peripherals acquire images to build a
pre-alarm video, an alarm video and a query response video. Each type
of video will operate different recording modes based on the peripheral status and settings.
The different options available are described below.
NOTE. Hard disk recording settings are available at page 82 of the
PR-G1 menu and in the Hard Disk page on SicepMvc.
Recording the pre-alarm video
Pre-alarm video recording can be enabled or disabled both with an Enabled
and with a Disabled system.
NOTE. Recording is enabled, writing on disk is performed periodically, so the above-mentioned IDE led will flash at about 30 seconds
intervals.
Recording the alarm video
Alarm video recording depends on the settings that define the causes of the
alarm; when preset, the recording mode is the following:
- If the recording is not required for all the cameras on alarm, the peripheral will exclusively be dedicated to the alarm video.
EXAMPLE: If the peripheral was recording the pre-alarm video produced by cameras 1, 2 and 3 and, at one point in time, an alarm is generated in
association with camera 2, the peripheral switches to recording exclusively camera 2.
-
If recordings are required from all the cameras on alarm, then the peripheral will not only record the alarm video, but also the pre-alarm
video.
EXAMPLE: If the peripheral was recording the pre-alarm video produced by cam-
eras 1, 2 and 3 and, at one point in time, an alarm is generated in
association with camera 2, the peripheral keeps recording camera 1, 2
and 3. Vice versa, if an alarm in association with camera 4 is generated, the peripheral keeps recording cameras 1, 2 and 3, but also
camera 4 for the whole duration of the alarm time.
Recording the video to respond to queries
A real time captured video can be recorded if a remote user requests so.
Page 38
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Recording limits
Limiting recordings is useful in those applications where, for privacy protection reasons, it is forbidden to store video recordings beyond a given period
of time.
If this function is enabled, the peripheral records the images on a hard disk
progressively overwriting the oldest images that do not belong to the pre-established period of time.
WARNING
WARNING!
Enabling this function will definitively delete all the recordings
made beyond the preset period of time.

Chap. 7 - SicepMVC programming
7 - SicepMVC programming
SicepMvc is a software consisting in a program developed for personal computers with the aim of configuring new generation Sicep peripherals.
It is a Client-type configuration program, not dependent on the version of the
firmware installed on the peripherals, which can communicate with the peripherals via a range of different communication devices and receive from
these special graphic pages in Windows style that allow users to simply and
intuitively programme the devices.
Programming the ARC-8C/CD and ARC-4C peripherals with the MVC software offers the following options:
- access to all parameters and view the images acquired by the cameras;
- access the peripherals locally through the service serial available on
connector P52;
- access the peripherals from remote locations through the available
communication devices: TCP/IP on all device types; GSM, ISDN,
PSTN depending on the model.
Access to configuration options from a remote location is password protected; in particular, the user needs to know both the code and the primary
password.
Page 40
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
Below are described the requirements for connection through the different
communication devices:
- service serial port:
it is a local sort of connection to the peripheral that requires a pin-to-pin
serial cable like the one described in Appendix C; no code or peripheral's password are required.
WARNING
WARNING!
The service serial is normally disabled and needs to be enabled
by pressing the PRG MODE push-button (the same to be used
for disabling). The service serial enabling/disabling is marked by
the blinking of the TX RX and ACK LEDs on the front panel.
-
TCP/IP:
it is a remote sort of connection that requires an ethernet cable compliant with the specifications given in Appendix C; no peripheral code or
primary password are required.
Modem:
it is a remote sort of connection that requires a PSTN modem for connection
to peripherals provided with PSTN and GSM modems, or an ISDN modem
for peripherals provided with an ISDN modem; the peripherals' code and
primary password are required.
7.2 - Description of operations
In order to configure parameters with the SicepMvc software, please follow
these steps:
- Prepare the PC for connection via the communication device selected;
if local operation is required, enable the peripheral as well.
WARNING
WARNING!
For local operation, enable the service serial pressing the PRG
MODE push-button.
- Launch the SicepMvc software.
Press the Connect push-button on the push-button bar in the SicepMvc
screen page displayed.
Page 41
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
When the dialogue box is displayed, select the desired carrier and set the required parameters.
Press Ok and wait until connection is completed. The connection should be
considered as completed when a list of pages is shown with no error message.
The following writings should be displayed in the status bar:
Line: Connected
Peripheral "firmware_version"
NOTE. The "firmware_version" line provides information about
the type of peripheral and firmware version being currently executed.
-
Access the necessary configuration pages to set the device as required.
Once configuration is completed, press the Disconnect push-button
on the push-button bar in the SicepMvc screen page displayed.
NOTE. A few seconds after disconnection, the peripheral will automatically RESET the device, if necessary, to make the new settings
effective.
Page 42
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
7.3 - Configuration pages
To change parameters when required, some graphic pages are available in
the peripheral's memory with the classic Windows controls associated to the
operating parameters.
Once the SicepMVC software is connected to the peripheral, the operator
can select a page from the list; the selected page is displayed by the
SicepMvc and the graphic controls are initialized with the parameters' values currently in use. Now the operator can read and change them.
The different pages are distinguished between Static Pages and Dynamic
Pages, depending on the mode of access to parameters used.
- Static Pages:
once the page has been loaded, the operator can use the controls to
change parameters; however, these changes are only SicepMvc-local
and do not affect the peripheral. To store the new values in the memory, press the Transmit push-button on the SicepMvc push-button
bar. Before pressing the Transmit push-button, the operator may at
any moment reload the page controls with the initial values by pressing
the Reload push-button.
- Dynamic Pages:
These pages continuously exchange data with the peripheral. The
data are loaded by the peripheral when the page is selected and each
change made to the parameters immediately affects the value stored
in the peripheral's memory. The Transmit and Reload push-buttons in
these pages are disabled.
NOTE. The changes made to the parameters shown in the form of a
text box in dynamic pages become effective only when that parameter is deselected: in other words, in order for the change to become
effective, the user must select the parameter, change the value and
deselect the parameter.
The different pages are identified by a name and the parameters they contain are grouped, whenever possible, by functional groups. The paragraphs
shown below have the page name as title and their parameters will be
grouped based on their graphic arrangement.

Chap. 8 - Programming through PR-G1
8 - Programming through PR-G1
The PR-G1 is a simple serial terminal
that allows a user to set a subsystem of
operating parameters for the peripherals. In fact, not all pa ram e ters are
accessible with this method; in particular, Motion Detector parameters are not
available because their setting requires
the user to view the images taken by the
cameras.

Since a more advanced remote configuration tool such as the SicepMvc
software is available, the "Remote PR-G1" protocol has not been implemented on the peripherals and configuration is possible through PR-G1 only
in local mode through the service serial available on the P53 connector.
WARNING
WARNING!
The service serial is normally disabled and needs to be enabled
by pressing the PRG MODE push-button (the same to be used
for disabling). Enable and disable operations are marked by the
flashing of the TX RX and ACK LEDs on the front panel, as well
as by the display of the "PRG MODE ON" and "PRG MODE OFF"
phrases on the PR-G1 screen, respectively.
Through the PR-G1, users can access a display and edit menu in text mode
where they can change parameters; this menu includes a number of pages
that can be selected using alphanumerical codes. The menu, hereinafter
identified as PRG1, is normally displayed on a waiting screen called Main
page.
Page 64
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
It is organized into Single pages, Multiple pages, Parameters and Multiple parameters, as described below:
- Single page:
identifies an item in the PRG1 menu, that can be accessed using an
alphanumerical code, which groups parameters; each individual parameter can be directly accessed by typing in the code of the page
followed by the parameter order number.
Code 71 accesses the general peripheral configuration page; code
712 accesses the second parameter of page 71.
- Multiple page:
identifies an item in the PRG1 menu consisting in a group of identical
sub-pages repeated for a given number of times. A sub-page can be
directly accessed by typing in the code of the multiple page followed by
the sub-page order number; the individual parameters of each
sub-page cannot be directly accessed.
EXAMPLE: Code 72 accesses the logical input configuration page; code 723 accesses the sub-page of the third logical input.
- Parameter:
identifies the menu item for viewing and changing an individual parameter.
- Multiple parameter:
identifies a menu item consisting in a group of identical parameters repeated for a given number of times; only the first parameter of the
group ca be accessed directly, while the remaining parameters can be
accessed sequentially.
EXAMPLE: Code 717 accesses the QUAD1 parameter, while the remaining
QUAD2, QUAD3, and QUAD4 are accessible in sequence.
The PR-G1 terminal is provided with a display with two lines including 20
characters each, 16 alphanumerical keys and 4 control keys, whose functions are described below:
• 0, ..9, A, ..F
These can be used to enter page access codes and new parameter
values.
• =
With text-type parameters, this control replaces the current text with
an empty string.
• CLR
Deletes typed characters locally in the PR-G1.
• ESC
Exits the current page, sub-page or parameter and returns to the upper level; parameters are not saved when this key is pressed.
• ENT
Sends the command typed on the PR-G1 to the peripheral and
passes to the subsequent parameter after saving the new parameter
value or confirming the current one.
Page 65
ARC-8C/CD ARC-4C
In detail, the ENT key performs the following actions depending on the current page, sub-page or parameter:
- If the current page is the Main page, the ENT key passes to the page,
sub-page or parameter corresponding to the code typed, if this is correct; otherwise, it temporarily displays an error message and then
goes back to the Main page. If the ENT key is pressed without any
code, an "OK" or "Ready" message will be displayed to indicate that
the PRG1 is ready and in the Main page.
- If the current page is not the Main page but a Single page, the ENT key
passes to the parameter indexed by the code typed, if this is correct;
otherwise, it temporarily displays an error message and remains in the
current page. If the ENT key is pressed without any code, the system
will pass to the first parameter in the current page.
- If the current page is not the Main page but a Multiple page, the ENT
key passes to the first parameter of the sub-page indexed by the code
typed, if this is correct; otherwise, it temporarily displays an error message and remains in the current page. If the ENT key is pressed
without any code, the system will pass to the first parameter in the first
sub-page.
- If there is a current parameter, the ENT key sets, if it is correct, the new
value for that parameter and then passes to the subsequent parameter; if the new value is not consistent, an error message is displayed for
1 second and the system remains on the current parameter. If the ENT
key is pressed without any code, the system will pass to the subsequent parameter and confirm the current value.
NOTE. If no control is typed for 30'', the PRG1 will automatically go
back to the Main page.
If inactivity is prolonged for 5', the peripheral will go in “PRG
OFF” mode.

8.2 - Description of operations
In order to configure parameters with the PR-G1, please follow these steps:
- Introduce the PR-G1 connector into the P53 connector on the logic
card; if the J4 jumper is closed, this operation will determine a card reset session.
- Wait until the "TERMINAL ver. 1.0" message is displayed on the
PR-G1 screen.
NOTE. This message is not generated by the peripheral, but by the
PR-G1 itself to identify its version.
-
Press the PRG MODE push-button until the "PRG MODE ON" message
is displayed on the PR-G1 screen; LEDs TX RX and ACK on the peripheral's front panel will simultaneously flash.
NOTE. This operation has enabled the service serial for communication with the PR-G1.
-
If the "PRG MODE OFF" message has been displayed, the service serial, which was enabled, has been disabled; in this case, repeat the
procedure.
Change the parameters by accessing the relevant pages and, once
configuration is completed, press RESET to restart the firmware with
the new settings.
NOTE. Confirming the new parameter values in the different pages
will definitively change the parameter, but to make this effective the
whole peripheral must be reset.

11 - Appendix B: Special operations
11.1- Grounding
Peripheral grounding should be provided by connecting the yellow/green Yellow/Green
GROUND
wire of the power supply cord directly
onto the chassis and, from this, onto the
connector terminal board. For details,
see figure below.
11.2- Installing a SIM on GSM
In the versions provided with GSM modem, the peripherals need a SIM
CARD with the following characteristics:
PHONY and DATA contract in Asynchronous mode, 9600, not transparent
NOTE. M2M (Machine To Machine) SIM cards cannot be used,
since they do not allow bi-directional data transfer.
Please, contact a GSM network provider for further information.
WARNING
WARNING!
Before handling a SIM Card, the person handling it should make
sure that his/her body is not a source of static electricity by touching a grounded metal mass to discharge it. Handle the SIM Card
and GSM mo dem with the ut most cau tion to avoid any
damaging.
For installation, follow the instructions given below depending on the type of
GSM modem used by the peripheral.

Switch the peripheral off.
Remove the SIM compartment by pressing the small yellow push-button (using a pencil tip).
Introduce the SIM card as shown in the picture, taking care to position
the beveled corner correctly.
Re-introduce the compartment into the modem, so that the SIM CARD
faces outward (from the peripheral).

-
Switch the peripheral off.
Open the SIM compartment.
In tro duce the SIM card as
shown in the picture, taking care
to position the beveled corner
correctly.
Close the SIM compartment.
11.3- Output connection
The outputs with which the peripheral
is provided are capable of piloting
max i mum 100mA loads, so for
greater loads use a relay connected
as shown in the picture.
