Video Quality Caution
FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Description
The NSM5200 Series network storage manager (NSM) delivers industry leading performance and innovation for mission-critical storage needs.
The combination of high performance, scalable hardware design and advanced software capabilities enables the NSM5200 to meet the unique
storage needs of physical security and video surveillance applications.
Hardware Built for Performance, Reliability, and Scalability
The demands of real-time video and audio recording place unique strains on storage subsystems. Storage systems require the bandwidth and
capacity to keep up with incoming video streams. They must also simultaneously manage all other common disk and RAID functions as well as
video streams that need to be recorded and played back on a constant basis. In addition, physical security applications are almost always
mission critical. Any downtime, degraded performance for routine maintenance, or loss of recorded footage is extremely disruptive to the
organization's physical security mission.
The NSM5200 has been engineered to meet these unique performance and reliability demands. Custom hardware components, to eliminate
common performance choke points to a patented scheme for writing content to a disk drive, have been specifically designed to deliver sustained
high throughput for recording and playback. The NSM5200 is capable of a maximum of 250 Mbps of throughput for incoming streams while
delivering 32 simultaneous playback streams when failover is not implemented. This performance is maintained whether the system is operating
in normal conditions, dealing with disk drive errors, or rebuilding the RAID array.
The NSM5200 improves the total cost of ownership and energy efficiency by consolidating disparate components into a single chassis. The
250 Mbps throughput provides double the improvement over Pelco's first generation recorder, allowing users to service far more cameras in one
storage unit than previously possible. In addition, with the integration of a traditional network video recorder (NVR) server into the storage
chassis, cost and energy efficiency is optimized by eliminating the need for additional servers and the associated heating, ventilation, and
cooling costs. Finally, the use of lower power components and adaptive cooling inside the chassis manage power dissipation based on load
requirements. Reliability is enhanced through the use of redundancy at all common failure points. A CompactFlash (CF) card is used to host the
operating system for higher reliability than traditional hard disk drives. To mitigate any downtime resulting from CompactFlash errors, the
database is striped across the storage array. The RAID 6 storage configuration provides double parity protection of recorded data. The hard drive
bay is cooled through the use of high capacity, redundant fans to ensure that the drives are kept at an optimum operating temperature. Finally,
fully redundant power supplies guard against any power supply failure.
As with any other system, maintenance is an important and vital part of sustained operation. The NSM5200 incorporates various innovations to
make maintenance more efficient and to allow the system to continue operating at peak performance levels. Easy access to hard disk drives and
the CompactFlash card is available from the front panel. A unique rail system allows access to a failed fan should it need to be replaced.
Temperature sensors throughout the chassis detect possible airflow obstruction or clogged intake filters. The use of enterprise-class SAS®
technology provides advanced enclosure management and monitoring. Notifications of potential or actual issues are transmitted to the Endura®
user interfaces for action. Storage capacity is scaled using DAS5200 direct attached storage (DAS) units. Utilizing the high reliability of a SAS
backplane and connections, up to seven DAS5200s can be connected to a single NSM5200. With up to 12 TB of raw capacity in each storage
element, each NSM5200 can reach a maximum of 96 TB of raw capacity.
Software Built for Flexibility, Reliability, Cost Optimization
In addition to unique strains placed on hardware components, video surveillance applications also demand innovations in software. Recording
software must accommodate automatic failover should a catastrophic failure occur. Recording software must deal with file fragmentation
caused by overwrite, locking of video clips, and managing metadata associated with alarms and events. Finally, recording software must deal
with the escalating cost of storage by finding innovative ways to manage recorded content. This ensures that the user extracts the most value
from the cost of the storage subsystem.
The NSM5200 supports pooling of multiple recorders to provide for automatic load balancing and failover. A single storage pool can support up
to 512 cameras. One of the NSM5200s in the pool acts as the master and manages camera assignments, health monitoring, and redistribution of
the recording load. Should a unit fail, the given cameras are automatically redistributed to the remaining units in the storage pool. When the
failed unit is brought back on line, the recording load is distributed again such that the load on any given recorder is balanced. This capability
also allows users to dynamically add additional storage to a pool as their retention needs change.
The NSM5200 incorporates an improved version of Pelco's patented EnduraStor™ storage optimization technology. EnduraStor was developed to
manage the cost of storing high resolution, high frame rate video by leveraging the fact that the value of recorded video is typically higher
immediately following an incident. Organizations are capable of specifying a desired delay period during which all recorded video will be kept at
30 images per second (25 for PAL). As the age of video available on hard disk drives exceeds the delay period, it is automatically groomed to a
lower frame rate, thus freeing up storage capacity for new video. The NSM5200 incorporates advancements in the EnduraStor algorithm, which
gives administrators the option of classifying the priority level of alarm or event video to retain the full frame.
The NSM5200 is built upon the proven stability and robustness of its Linux®-based operating system. It utilizes an XFS file structure and
automated defragmentation routines to keep the database from becoming fragmented. XFS has been proven to be a more superior file format for
C3683M (3/09) 7
the rigors of video recording applications than an NTFS file system, which is standard with Windows®-based recorders. Although XFS is superior,
fragmentation can build up over prolonged periods of active use. To compensate, the software incorporates defragmentation routines that run in
the background. These routines mitigate the performance degradation and the potential for corruption that result from fragmentation errors.
The NSM5200 incorporates a number of diagnostic monitoring functions that serve vital roles in notifying operators of potential problems and
failures. Integrated diagnostics utilize on-board LED indicators to display warnings and failures on NSM5200 and DAS5200 units and reports
these failures to operators on Endura workstations and virtual console displays. The NSM5200 monitors and provides warning messages for
items such as retention time issues, accumulation of software errors, network errors that result in packet loss, and changes to network link
speeds. It also monitors and reports hardware diagnostics such as temperatures approaching established thresholds, hard disk drive failures, fan
failures, power supply failures, or when a camera or a NSM5200 is off line. Finally, the NSM5200 can communicate to an APC Smart-UPS® series
uninterruptible power supply to provide battery status information and initiate a graceful shutdown if the available charge falls below its
designated threshold.

Hard Drive Array Installation
The NSM5200 stores data using RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology. All NSM5200 Series recorders operate in a RAID 6
configuration to maximize fault tolerance and enhance disk-access performance.
The NSM5200 has a single RAID controller that manages a single array of 12 drives. The RAID 6 configuration allows any 2 out of the 12 drives
to fail without any data loss. On any drive failure, the user is notified of the failure and the unit continues to operate.
INSTALLING HARD DRIVE CARRIERS
After you have securely mounted the NSM5200, install the 12 hard drives in the front of the chassis. Each hard drive is already mounted in its
own drive carrier so you can easily install and remove a hard drive, even while the unit is operating.
NOTE: You must install all 12 hard drive carriers before you apply power to the NSM5200. The hard drive bays are numbered 1 through 12
(starting from the left side). The hard drives are not preconfigured and can be placed in any empty hard drive bay.
To install the hard drive carriers:
1. Review all instructions in this section before proceeding.
2. Make sure you protect the unit and its components, which are susceptible to damage from improper handling and ESD. Refer to the Safe
Handling of Hard Drives document for more information.
Figure 14. Opening the Front Bezel
3. Unlock and open the front bezel.
WARNING: If a third drive in the same array fails before either of the first two drives have been replaced, and have completed the rebuild
process, the array will go off line and data loss will occur.

Connections
Figure 16. Rear Panel Layout
Familiarize yourself with the NSM5200 rear panel before connecting any equipment to the unit.
CONNECTING POWER
The NSM5200 is equipped with two hot-swappable power supplies. These autoranging power supplies adapt automatically to voltages from
100 to 240 VAC (50/60 Hz). You should also install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which is not supplied. UPS devices maintain a limited
amount of backup battery power if the main power fails. Refer to Appendix B: Installing an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) on page 30 for
more information.
NOTE: Connect each power supply to a different branch circuit. This ensures optimal performance, reduces possible video loss, and reduces
power leakage to a safe level.
To connect the power supplies:
1. Connect each power cord to a power supply connector.
2. Connect the other end of each power cord to the appropriate power source.
When connected, the power supply status indicators glow solid red. As soon as the unit starts, the indicators glow solid green. During operation,
if either indicator is not lit or glows red, there is a problem with a power supply.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
The NSM5200 supports remote administration from an Endura workstation. The NSM5200 is compatible with the entire family of Endura-ready
devices using TCP/IP and UPnP protocols. Consult your network administrator before installing the NSM5200 to avoid possible network conflicts.
Use the left Gigabit Ethernet adapter port to connect the NSM5200 to the Endura network. This is required for Endura operation.
NOTES: For best results, you should only implement an Endura system on a 1000Base-T network. Unless the Endura installation is very small
with a dedicated Endura network, a 100Base-T network will not support the necessary data throughput requirements.
To connect the NSM5200 to the Endura network using a switched Gigabit Ethernet network:
Figure 17. Network Cable Connection
1. Connect one end of the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable to the left network connector on the NSM5200 rear panel. Use standard Cat5e
or better UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors.
2. Connect the other end of the UTP cable to an available port on a Pelco-approved Gigabit Ethernet switch. Contact Pelco Product Support at
1-800-289-9100 (USA and Canada) or +1-559-292-1981 (international) for a list of approved Gigabit Ethernet switches.
There are two indicators on the network connector on the rear panel. The right indicator glows orange when there is a good connection
between the NSM5200 and a Gigabit Ethernet switch that is powered up. If the indicator does not glow, check the cable and the switch.
Disregard the left indicator, which shows network activity.

Appendices
APPENDIX A: EXPANDING VIDEO STORAGE
You can increase the video storage capacity of the NSM5200 by adding one or more DAS5200 direct attached storage (DAS). Each DAS5200 adds
up to 12.0 TB of total capacity (up to 9.08 TB of video storage). You can add up to seven DAS5200 units to expand the total capacity for each
NSM5200 up to 81 TB of total capacity (up to 72.6 TB of video storage).
NOTES:
• You do not have to shut down the NSM5200 to add a DAS5200.
• The NSM5200 has one mini-SAS connector on the rear panel; the DAS5200 has two mini-SAS connectors on the rear panel.
• A maximum of seven DAS5200s can be connected (daisy-chained) to a single NSM5200.
To connect one or more DAS5200s to an NSM5200:
NOTE: A rack setup is used in the following configuration.
1. Install the NSM5200 and the DAS5200 (one or more) into a rack system.
2. Connect a mini-SAS cable to the SAS connector on the rear panel of the NSM5200.
3. Connect the other end of the mini-SAS cable to the top SAS connector (IN) on the rear panel of the DAS5200.
4. For each additional DAS5200:
a. Connect the mini-SAS cable to the bottom SAS connector (OUT) on the rear panel of the DAS5200.
b. Connect the other end of the mini-SAS cable to the top SAS connector (IN) on the rear panel of the next DAS5200.
Figure 21. DAS5200s Connected to an NSM5200
Figure 21 displays an NSM5200 with three DAS5200s connected. The configuration is a daisy-chain setup.
5. Power up the DAS5200, if necessary. Refer to the DAS5200 Series Installation manual for more information.
6. Power up the NSM5200, if necessary (refer to Unit Startup on page 25).
The NSM5200 automatically recognizes the new DAS5200 unit within five minutes, and then puts it into service.

APPENDIX B: INSTALLING AN UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY (UPS)
You should connect each NSM5200 to a UPS (not supplied). UPS devices maintain a limited amount of backup battery power if the main power fails.
To connect communication and power from the UPS to the NSM5200 (refer to Figure 22):
1. Connect a power cord from one of the NSM5200 power supplies to a standard wall socket.
2. Connect a power cord from the UPS to a standard wall socket or other power source.
3. Connect a power cord from the UPS to the other NSM5200 power supply. In this configuration, the unit will not lose power if either the
power source or the UPS fails.
4. Power up the UPS device.

5. Power up the NSM5200, if necessary (refer to Unit Startup on page 25).
WARNING: Most UPS devices can be used to supply backup battery power. However, the NSM5200 does not support intelligent UPS
devices since they usually include power management software. If you install an intelligent UPS device, do not install the power
management software on the NSM5200.
