Guide for Configuring and Using

ViconNet ver 5.6 and Hirsch Velocity

This guide provides a step-by-step procedure for connecting a Hirsch

Velocity system to a ViconNet 5.6 system. Refer to the ViconNet® manual for

detailed information. This document assumes that the Hirsch system is

installed and operating properly and that ViconNet is at least version 5.6b.

Hirsch configuration instructions are on page 9.

ViconNet 5.6b Settings

The ViconNet device connecting to the Hirsch system to receive events

must have the “Events Management” system registered (licensed) and

working; this is verified in the unit’s setup menu that shows the “Events

Management” button enabled (not grayed out).

2 | Guide for Configuring ViconNet ver 5.6 and Hirsch Velocity

Defining the Control Driver

• Click on in System Settings.

• Click on the Add Driver button.

• Select BookmarksReceiver.dll from the Driver Name dropdown list.

• Enter the IP address and port for the Hirsch system sending the

events. Note that the configuration of the server port must be done on

the Hirsch (XML writer) system in advance (see page 9). Make sure

to check the “Network Client” box for this integration.

• The ViconNet application must be restarted for the control to load.

Guide for Configuring ViconNet ver 5.6 and Hirsch Velocity |3

Configuring Events Management

• Click on in System Settings. The following screen

displays.

The next steps define the basic configurations in the various screens of

Events Management that allow for the integration specifically with Hirsch.

Refer to the ViconNet manual for any additional required configuration

screens.

Events Database Configuration

The Events Database Configuration screen allows the addition of fields as

they are sent by the Hirsch system. These fields will only exist if the systems

have been configured properly and there is good IP communication. If the

Hirsch fields do not display, make sure the link is working properly before

proceeding (i.e., check IPs, ports, firewalls, etc.).

• Check Motion Enable. The motion Profile displays.

4 | Guide for Configuring ViconNet ver 5.6 and Hirsch Velocity

• Click on .

• Click the Add button to open the Events DB Field dialog box.

• Hirsch Velocity sends only one field and it should show as

VelocityXML; you must select it from the dropdown list. Add your

own, as required. Define the type, search privileges and behavior.

This screen also allows customization of the design of the pop-up

message and the list “look.”

Events Message Display

The Events Message Display screen ( ) configures the way events

are seen when they are received by ViconNet, including the on-screen

display of various fields as desired. It is recommended to use a temporary

message that can be clicked on to see the full event entry.

Events Cameras And Mics Assignment

Use the Cameras And Mics Assignment screen ( ) to create the

logical connection between cameras and the doors; this can be done for any

field, as needed.

• Click the Add button to create the link.

• Select the camera or microphone (up to 4) to link.

• Check the box of the related field to create the link.

• Define the terms VelocityXML contains… Door XXX (equals, not

equals are also an option but because Hirsch sends only one string,

contains is usually what you will need) and the parameters; create

multiple fields linked by using “And”

A typical Hirsch integration links cameras to door numbers to use for an

event. This step is important as it will determine which cameras will be

associated with readers and door later on for macro. Make sure to define all

the points.

6 | Guide for Configuring ViconNet ver 5.6 and Hirsch Velocity

Configure Macros

For an alarm or macro to be generated when specific events occur, it is

necessary to define what part of the event message triggers the macro or

alarm. The macro must be written prior to defining the triggers. For example,

a macro is written to display the cameras that were correlated to a door for

15 seconds. This is done by clicking on the Push to insert Related Devices

( ) button on the Macro screen; this

will have the macro take the camera from the event correlation, eliminating

the need to specify a camera in this screen. (As an alternative, the camera

can be specified and separate macros per event can be used.) Refer to the

ViconNet manual for configuring macros as needed. A sample Macro Editor

screen is below.

Guide for Configuring ViconNet ver 5.6 and Hirsch Velocity |7

Configure Alarms and Triggers

Select Alarm and Macro Triggers ( ) from Events Management to

open that screen.

• Click the Add button to create a trigger.

• Enter the term of the trigger (equals, not equals, contains) and select

the macro to run when the trigger is met.

• Name the trigger with any logical name. Use whatever fields required

to fine tune the trigger.

Note

The trigger configuration is case sensitive; make sure that the Caps Lock

function is not active when configuring triggers to avoid problems.

• Click Next to set the schedule for the specific trigger; this allows

setting different times for different triggers, as needed.

Typically when integrating with Hirsch, you will need to define the terms that

will trigger the macro. For example:

VelocityXML contains Door1

AND

VelocityXML contains access denied

will run a display macro for related devices. The cameras that will be

displayed are the ones you assigned to Door1 on page 5 of this manual.

Reports

The events are stored and accessed through the Reports menu on the unit

collecting the events.

• Click Reports on the ViconNet Main screen.

• Select the ViconNet unit and click on the Events History tab. An

Events list, a thumbnail view or a Query screen are available to

search for an event.

• Double click any event in the list to open the event entry.

• Right click any event in the list to view live video from the correlated

camera or playback video from the time of the event or before it

occurred.

Note: This screen also provides access to the event report editor to

create a text file and export an event thumbnail and text details from the

event.

Setting Up the Hirsch Velocity System Running ViconNet

Add the XML Writer

The Video Service will connect to the Velocity XML Writer interface to receive

event messages from Velocity. The XML Writer interface is not automatically

installed during the Velocity software installation. To install the interface:

• Use the Velocity Add-ins -> Server Extensions… command to open the

Velocity Server Extensions Manager dialog box.

• Click the Install button to open an Explorer window.

• Select the ‘XML Writer.HEX’ file in the Velocity directory.

After it is installed, the XML Writer interface will appear in the Manager

window.

Extension Manager Screen

Enabling the Web Server

Note: It is important that the Velocity Server will not be running a web server

locally (hosting a website). The web server is required for the integration to

work.

On the system running Velocity, go to the Velocity Service Control Manager

on the task bar on the bottom.

Guide for Configuring ViconNet ver 5.6 and Hirsch Velocity |11

Right click on the icon and select Settings to open the setting screen.

Select Web Server from the list on the left and verify that the Enable web

server box is checked.

You will be asked to restart the Velocity services when done.

Important!!!

If the Velocity server has a firewall, make sure port 80 is open!

From the Velocity Administration window, add an XML interface for the Video

Viewer/Service:

• Open the Interfaces Configuration – XML Writers folder.

• Open the Add New XML Writer folder.

• Name the interface (use “ViconNet” as the name of the interface) and

select all the events that will be required to trigger video display. The

XML properties page follows.

• Use “10001” as the port number.

• Open the firewall port to allow access to it.

• Select “Always” for the active duration time zone option.

• Check ALL the events.

• Make sure “Enabled” is checked.
