Digital Vision Network (DVN) 5000 Rackmount Series
Product Bulletin
Introduction
The Digital Vision Network is a suite of digital recording
hardware and software products designed to enhance
the capabilities of the P2000 security management
system.
The DVN 5000 Rackmount Series comprises three
different models: DVN 5000 Real-Time, DVN 5000X
Real-Time (for network cameras), and DVN 5000
Multiplexed. These models offer various levels of video
and audio recording and transmission for both large
and small installations.
All DVN 5000 Series machines can simultaneously
record, play, view, transmit, and archive video and
audio. They also contain full Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ)
control, pre-alarm and pre-motion recording, and
camera darkening detection.
These systems, based on true client/server
architecture, offer exceptional levels of video and audio
recording, transmission performance for up to 32
cameras, and are capable of processing up to 960/800
(NTSC/PAL) frames per second (FPS).
Features and Benefits
• Compatible with Both Analog and IP/Network
Cameras – Manage up to 32 IP/network cameras
or up to 16 IP/network cameras and 16 analog
cameras.
• Video Text Insertion – Text input from third-party
devices, such as Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals,
Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), and fuel
pumps, can be captured together with recorded
video for a complete record.
• True Pentaplex® Functionality – Real-time
recording, playing, viewing, archiving, and
transmission, regardless of image content or
system activity
• PTZ Control – Fully integrated multi-vendor PTZ
control with minimum latency

• True Client/Server Architecture – Full remote
control via TCP/IP. Supports up to 32 simultaneous
users.
• Flexible User Management – Control access to
cameras, functions, and bandwidth per user.
• Motion Detection – Dynamic leading-edge motion
detection, configurable for each input
• Web Access – Integrated web video/audio server
for connections via Microsoft® Internet Explorer
• Single Sign-On Authentication – Users can log
on to the DVN software by entering their Active
Directory or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) user account name and password. The
added Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol helps
prevent eavesdropping of login names and
passwords between the LDAP server and the
DVN 5000.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Server Functionality – SNMP clients can request
status data from the DVN server, which can
generate notifications when the value of an
important status variable changes.
• Permanency Detection – Capable of highlighting
items that are missing or left behind, such as a
person’s baggage.

MPEG4-based Calculators (without Motion Index Enabled)

This section enables you to determine:
• The recommended maximum number of network cameras that can be supported on a dedicated Ethernet
network.
• The minimum storage space needed on a DVN under varying video settings.
Note: Network IP cameras are only supported on DVN 5000 servers running software Version 2.7 or higher.

Digital Vision Network (DVN) 5000 Rackmount Series Product Bulletin 9

Determining the maximum number of network cameras or the minimum storage space required depends on the
following primary factors:
• Resolution Setting (4CIF, 2CIF, CIF, or QCIF)
• Image Quality Setting (DVN Cameras) or Compression Setting (AXIS Network Cameras)
• Amount of Motion in Video
• Frames Per Second (FPS) Setting
Note: The bandwidth calculations in this section include a 20% buffer for other network traffic.
Note: Unless specified otherwise, the calculators in this section are based on the National Television Standards
Committee (NTSC) video standard.
Network Camera Calculator
Use the following tables to calculate the recommended maximum number of network cameras that can be
supported on a dedicated Ethernet network.
The network camera calculator is based on the AXIS Design Tool, an online calculator for measuring bandwidth
requirements. The AXIS Design Tool is located at:
http://www.axis.com/products/video/design_tool/calculator.htm
Note: The bandwidth calculations in this section are based on 25% background traffic and no event recording.

Storage Calculator
Use the following tables to calculate the minimum storage space needed under varying video settings.
The bandwidth charts are based on the following calculation:
(Average Frame Size * FPS * 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * Number of Days * Number of Cameras) /
(1024 * 1024) = Required Disk Size (GB)
Example:
Average Frame Size = 7.12; FPS = 6; Number of Days = 30; Number of Cameras = 16
7.12 * 6 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30 * 16 = 1,771,683,840
1,771,683,840 / 1,048,576 = 1690 GB
The following storage calculator is based on 4CIF resolution. For calculations of 2CIF, CIF and QCIF, refer to the
online DVN Storage Calculator, available on the Johnson Controls Security Portal at:

DVN 5000 Series and P2000 Software Integration Compatibility Chart
Johnson Controls provides integration between the P2000/P2000LE Security Management System (SMS) and
Digital Vision Network (DVN) 5000 Series systems via the P2000 Digital Video Recording (DVR) Integration (AV)
Option.
If integrating a DVN 5000 with a P2000 SMS, refer to Table 26 to identify which software versions are compatible
between the two products.
Table 26: DVN 5000 Series and P2000 Software Integration Compatibility Chart
