The primary purpose of the sensor is to detect motion and provide additional information about the moving target. The sensor is designed to take advantage of one of the primary features of its technology, which is its ability to see through earth, concrete and other standard building materials. Other motion sensors need a window onto the world, the CMD-2 does not, and it can be completely buried where it is protected from tampering and from the environment. One application of the CMD-2 is to protect buildings and premises from entry by unknown persons or vehicles. Used in conjunction with CCTV systems the CMD-2 can establish a powerful barrier to identify and track unknown intruders long before they enter a building. Sensors may be placed almost one quarter mile from the security center, giving the phrase ‘detection beyond the fence’, whole new meaning. Longer distances are possible with fiber optic or wireless Ethernet connection. Because the CMD-2 is buried, intruders cannot see or disable the sensor. False alarms are minimal. The sensor can be buried up to eight inches beneath the surface of earth, roads or walkways. The material covering the sensor can be concrete, granite, earth, bricks, etc. The only limitation is that the sensor cannot be covered with sheet metal or a dense metal mesh material. The radial range of the sensor is 22 to 25 feet (6.5 to 8 meters) and it covers an elliptical pattern on the ground (or approximates a hemisphere in 3D). It is able to detect motion from any direction. Therefore with a fifty foot diameter of coverage multiple sensors can form a ring or fence around a facility. When a sensor detects motion an alarm signal is generated and recorded. As an option, a designated CCTV camera can point in the direction of that sensor and record the target and its activity. Each sensor is powered through its Ethernet connection (standard CAT-5 burial cable). The connecting cable from the sensor to a concentrator box (CB-06) and then to the server can be up to 400 feet (123 M) long. Longer cable distances requires daisy-chaining concentrator boxes (CB-06). Up to four concentrator boxes can be daisy chained resulting in a total cable distance from server to sensor of 1200 feet (393M). A separate power cable is required for daisy-chained concentrator boxes (hubs). See the attached diagrams for these two connection methods. Note that Ethernet has a limitation of 300 feet (91 meters)maximum between hubs. The use of remote power sources can increase the distance to any desired range. The two connection methods of daisy-chain and direct connection can be used together in a single security system. The limitations are defined by the number of sensors that can be powered by the server. Three standard servers are available; they are designed to control, monitor and power up to 8, 24 and 48 CMD sensors. Custom systems can be designed as required.

Signal and power to the sensor is supplied from a buried Ethernet wire which goes to the server at the security command and control console. A hole is dug approximately 18 inches by 18 inches (45cm x 45cm) by about eighteen inches (45 cm) deep. A four inch (10 cm) layer of sand is placed in the hole and the sensor is placed on top of the sand. The sensor is then covered with sand about one inch 2.5 cm) deep. Earth (topsoil) is then used to fill the hole completely or if the sensor is under pavement then asphalt or concrete is used to fill the hole to the existing grade. Note that highly conductive soils such as wet clay covering the sensor can reduce the detection range. The sensor can be wall mounted as shown. The resulting side view of the installation complete with detection field is shown (right).The detection hemisphere has a diameter of 50 feet (15m).

This type of installation will also provide better protection from freeze-thaw cycles over time. Server-24 The CMD Server box provides the power and Ethernet connections to the CMD sensors. Up to 24 sensors can be connected to and powered from the basic server (shown below). Other servers are available with additional capacity and dry switches. Dry contact connections are provided for each sensor so that alarms can be turned on and/or CCTV camera presets can be utilized. The server also provides the gateway to the security network - and the Internet. It is lockable and made of steel, designed for wall mounted applications. The server logs all alarms and monitors the sensor ‘heartbeat’ to insure each one is working. The internet connection allows users with the proper password to access the information from any location. The following diagram shows the primary connections that can be made to the Server.

Buriable Ethernet cable should be used in all cases where conduit is not available. This type of cable is rugged, waterproof and rodent proof. If conduit is available then CAT5 plenum Ethernet cable can be used. Plenum cable has solid wires which carry the signal and power over longer distances than stranded wire cables. Note that when installing the solid wire plenum cable it is very important not to get kinks in the cable. The cable should be carefully unrolled during installation. Kinks in the wire can cause breaks and internal signal reflections which will degrade the signal from the sensor. The Ethernet cable may be buried at any depth desired. Typically the depth should be 3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 cm) to avoid most problems that may come from changes to the ground surface. In addition to trenching there are specialized tools to make cable installation fast and less disruptive to the ground surface. Companies who install fiber optic cable for Internet applications have this equipment. Typically once the cable run length is measured it is best to add another 5% to the measured length. This extra distance will take care of small variations that might have been missed. The following diagram shows the direct connection method of connecting Concentrator hubs to the Server and defined cable length limitations. Cable length limits are due to Ethernet transmission limits and power transmission limits.

Please follow the recommended specifications when sourcing the cable. Cable Specifications: Direct burial Direct burial, plenum CAT 5 or better grade, at least 4 twisted pairs Protected burial (conduit) CAT 5 or better plenum, at least 4 twisted pairs Power cable 16 gauge, 3 conductor, shielded direct-burial (ref #8302S) Tools: Follow manufacturer’s instructions for assembling and using the DMC crimping tool M22520/1-01 and turret M22520/1-02. Set up tool for gauge of wire and pins being used. For the most common 24 gauge wire, position turret for 20 (red cylinder) and black wire size dial to 24. To attach 9 pin Clipper connectors to cable ends: 1. Strip off approx 50mm (2”) of cable’s outer jacket. 2. Take note of wire colors and twisted pairs. Note: Your cable will have its own color combinations. What is important is that it is wired the same on both ends and twisted pairs stay together. 3. The backshell comes in 3 pieces, all in one bag. Assemble the two major pieces together (they can only join one way) placing the washer between them. Tighten firmly. Excess force will distort the washer. 4. Feed the cable through the assembled backshell, entering the compression nut end. 5. Strip off 4mm (5/32) of each wire. Place a pin into the hole of the crimping tool on the side that has the yellow OSHA sticker. Insert a stripped wire into the pin. 6. Squeeze the handles of the crimping tool noting that it has a ratchet action. You must complete the crimping action all the way so the handle will release. Repeat steps 5 & 6 for all 8 wires. 7. Release the red section from the black section of the Clipper connector by referring to the Clipper Assembly instructions (Page 16). 8. The 2 pieces do not need to be fully separated, just the red part slightly extracted. 9. Insert pins noting the pin numbering/labeling on the red section

Squeeze tabs and return red section into black. 11. Screw backshell onto connector. It may be easier to temporarily connect to a CMD box while installing the backshell. 12. Tighten compression nut of backshell to complete Clipper connector installation. 13. Using a multimeter or similar device, verify continuity of cable. Pin 1 of one end connects to pin one of the other end, pin 2 to 2, pin 3 to 3, etc. Since the pins are not clearly numbered on the Clipper connector, it is helpful to use the inner keyed tabs surrounding the pin holes or the one indented pin for a reference. If CB to CMD exceeds 110’/33m, crimp the pin 5 wire (wht/blu) with pin 7 (wht/brn), then crimp the pin 6 wire (blu) with pin 8 (brn) at both ends. Do not use pins 5 and 6.

In this example, the contact will “close” on intrusion detection and remain “open” when no motion is detected. 7. After configuring individual contacts, select Save changes. You will be asked to confirm the current Sensor configuration. If correct select Yes. 8. Repeat this process for as many sensors and contact closures as required. 9. To delete a device, select the device from the Select Dry contact Device pull down list. The Delete Device button is activated. Select and confirm.

It will also cause the chosen contact to open or close, as selected, sending a signal to associated systems (CCTV, access control, etc.). • Warning – is an indication of motion within the full extent of the UltraSensor detection range but greater than the alarm range parameters set on the Configuration page. Icon will become yellow. Setting “warning” to open or close will cause the chosen contact to activate associated systems. Recommended setting is ignore except in high security applications where recognition of any motion within range of the UltraSensor is desirable. • No-Motion – an absence of motion within the full range of an UltraSensor will be indicated by a green icon on the Monitor Screen. No-motion will cause the chosen contact to open or close, as selected, sending a signal to an associated systems (CCTV, access control, etc.). If Motion is set to open, set “No-motion” to closed. If Motion is set to closed, set “No-motion” to open. • Noise – the occurrence of RF interference with performance of an UltraSensor will be indicated by a blue icon on the Monitor Screen and recorded in Log. Setting noise to either open or closed will cause the activation of an associated system to create another level of awareness. • Heartbeat – UltraSensor communicates with the Server twice per second and upon initial power up “heartbeat” is displayed on the User Interface and recorded in the System log. Succeeding “heartbeats” are not logged nor displayed. If a Sensor loses communication with the System (cut cable, power loss, Sensor malfunction, etc.), a visual indication will be generated on the Monitor Screen (orange icon with “X”) and recorded in the Log. Setting “heartbeat” to open or close will cause an activation of a contact upon initial power up only. Heartbeat is the opposite of “power.” Recommended setting for heartbeat is ignore. • Power – an absence of individual Sensor power will generate a visual indication on the Monitor screen (orange icon with “X”) and be recorded in the Log. Setting “power” to close or open will cause an activation of the contact upon power loss only. The choice of open or closed will be based upon the required input status of the associated system. Individual contacts may be programmed for multiple non-conflicting functions. For example when integrating with a CCTV system, Contact #1 can be set to open on No-motion, close on Motion, and close on Warning to activate a camera to record any motion from a given UltraSensor. Operational conditions like Power and Heartbeat would normally not call for camera activation and should be linked to other contacts to create operator or monitor awareness. Monitor Screen

The actual detection of a moving person will determine the setting for each individual sensor. Use the following steps: 1. On the Configure System screen, set the Alarm Logging Option to “twice per second”. 2. Set the Alarm Mass Threshold setting at 10 for each sensor. 3. Have a person walk to and over each sensor at a normal walking speed. Note the time that each sensor is passed. Do this for every sensor. 4. Go to View Log File. Note the lowest Mass reading for each sensor. This number will probably be different for each sensor. This is normal as each sensor might be buried under different materials or at different depths. 5. Subtract 10 from the lowest Mass reading for each sensor and enter this number as the Alarm Mass Threshold number for that sensor. 6. Once all the sensors are configured, return to the Configure System screen and set the Alarm Logging Option to “once per incident”. Note: This is a good starting point to having each sensor detecting people and ignoring false alarms from smaller objects. The Mass Threshold can be further optimized as the user’s familiarity with the system is increased. Logout 1. From any screen, a User may logout by selecting Logout from the menu at the left of the screen. 2. The User will be asked to confirm logout. If correct, select Yes. Software Updates Periodically, UVSS will add new features or enhancements to the software.

Rev 031109 28 Integrating the CMD-Server 24 with your network The CMD-Server 24 communicates to clients (laptops and PCs) via a Netgear FVS318 router. Specifically, using a web browser like Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and entering an IP address will allow you to become a client of the CMD-Server. The IP address of the CMD-Server is preset to a value of 10.10.0.11 at manufacturing time. However, this can be changed to another value if the preset address is not compatible with your existing network. If there is no existing network, the user must purchase a router and configure it to be compatible with the CMD-Server’s preset IP address, or configure the CMD-Server to be compatible with the router if a different set of IP addresses is desired. Changing the CMD-Server IP address Warning: This procedure should only be attempted by qualified network administrators. Changing parameters other than those describe in this document can result in a non-functioning product that must be reset by UltraVision’s Support personnel. For this procedure you will need a router configured with a subnet of 10.10.0.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 as well as a computer with either a compatible static IP address or a dynamic one if the router and the computer are setup to use DHCP (note that some systems ship with a separate Netgear model FVS114 router preconfigured to these settings). Next, connect both the CMD-Server and computer to the LAN side of the router. On the computer, run Internet Explorer and login to the CMD-Server router (Netgear model FVS318) by typing https://10.10.0.11:8080 . It is very important that you include the reference to port 8080 in your command-line, otherwise you will access the CMD-Server UltraSensor Security System instead of the Netgear router located inside the CMD-Server. If you entered the command correctly, you should see a small dialog box prompting you for a username and password as shown below: The default username is admin and the password is generic11.. . You should now have access to the full web interface of the Netgear router.
Rev 031109 29 Change the IP address, select Basic Settings from the left menu bar and enter the parameters in the main window that will make the CMD-Server compatible with your network: Accessing the CMD-Server over a WAN The CMD-Server can be accessed from anywhere in the world if the LAN to which it is connected is configured to allow in-coming traffic. There are generally two ways that this can be done. The easiest (but less secure) approach is to setup the router that communicates with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to use Port Forwarding of all HTTPS services so they are sent to the IP address of the CMD-Server. A much more secure, but significantly more difficult approach is to use VPN tunneling. The instructions for implementing a VPN tunnel go beyond the scope of this document. For detailed information please visit your router manufacturer’s website and consult with your network administrator on the best approach for your needs.
Rev 031109 30 Integrating the CMD-Server 8 with your network The CMD Server 8 communicates via a Netgear FVS114 router. Using a web browser like Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and entering an IP address will allow you to view and control the server 8 as though you were physically at its keyboard. The IP address of the Server-8 is preset to a value of 10.10.0.10 at manufacturing time. However, this can be changed to another value if the preset address is not compatible with your existing network. If there is no existing network, the user must purchase a router and configure it to be compatible with the CMD Server-8’s preset IP address, or configure the CMD Server-8 to be compatible with the router if a different set of IP addresses is desired. Changing the CMD Server-8 IP address Warning: Changing parameters other than those described in this document can result in a non-functioning product. On the CMD Server-8 laptop, open a web browser and type http://10.10.101.253. You should receive a login window like the one shown on the next page. Enter the username “admin” and password “password” (typed without quotation marks). Select “Basic Settings” on the left column if they are not already displayed in the center column. Scroll down to “use static IP address” and enter your network address parameters. (The Server-8 is preconfigured with an IP=10.10.0.10, Mask=255.255.255.0, GW=10.10.0.1 and DNS Primary=10.10.0.1) When finished, select Logout at the bottom of the left column. Connect the CMD Server-8 Network connector to your network. At another computer on this same network, open a web browser and type the UVSS default https://10.10.0.10 or the new IP that was previously entered. The Server-8 display should now be visible. Accessing the CMD-Server over a WAN The CMD-Server can be accessed from anywhere in the world if the LAN to which it is connected is configured to allow in-coming traffic. There are generally two ways that this can be done. The easiest (but less secure) approach is to setup the router that communicates with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to use Port Forwarding of all HTTPS services so they are sent to the IP address of the CMD-Server. A much more secure, but significantly more difficult approach is to use VPN tunneling. The instructions for implementing a VPN tunnel go beyond the scope of this document.

Rev 031109 32 Remote Switch Device The UltraVision Remote Switch Device application software supports the integration of remote dry contact switches, such as those manufactured by Measurement Computing, with the UltraVision Sensor Servers. This allows users to control a wide array of hardware components, such as alert lights, audible alarms and security cameras, automatically when one or more UltraSensors detects a change in an area being monitored. Remote switches may be physically installed anywhere when connected to the company network or to the internet. The UltraVision Remote Switch Device application can be executed on any Windows XP or Windows Vista PC and can control up to 48 switches using one or more contact devices manufactured by Measurement Computing (USB-ERB08 or USB-ERB24). During normal operation, the application resides in the Windows system tray, automatically changing the switch settings as directed by the associated UltraVision Sensor Server. Users can use the application GUI to monitor current switch settings, manually change switch settings and/or change server settings. Installation The UltraVision Remote Switch Device application can be installed using the following procedure: z Insert the UltraVision Remote Switch Device Installation CDROM into the CD tray on a Windows XP or Windows Vista PC z In most Windows PC operating environments the installation program will be automatically executed when the CDROM is loaded by the operating system. If not, use the Windows File Explorer to open the device folder associated with the CDROM and double-click on setup.exe file to start the installation program. z When the installation program is started, it will display a banner page indicating the version of the software being installed, press Next to work through the installation steps
Rev 031109 33 z When prompted to enter the Configuration Details, enter the Server IP or Hostname associated with the UltraVision Sensor Server running on your network. The Location and Access Code fields must correspond to those assigned to one of the Remote Contact Devices configured on the UltraVision Sensor Server using the Configure Contacts page. (See the UltraVision Sensor Server Administration Guide for more details.) NOTE: It is safe to leave any or all of the fields empty during installation if you don't know the information (or no Remote Contact Devices have been configured on the server yet). In that case, the Remote Switch Device application will simply not connect to any server until you enter the configuration information. z Press Next to complete the installation steps Running the Application When initialized, the UltraVision Remote Switch Device application searches for all Measurement Computing switch devices connected to the PC via USB cables. Due to the nature of the driver provided by Measurement Computing, the USB devices must be connected to the PC before the Remote Switch Device is executed. If not, you'll need to exit the Remote Switch Device and restart it before it will find the Measurement Computing devices. The Measurement Computing USB-ERB08 and USB-ERB24 devices are easily connected to any Windows PC using a standard USB cable. Once connected and powered up, the Windows O/S will automatically recognize and load any drivers required for that device. In most Windows environments you will hear an audible alert from Windows when it has successfully loaded the USB device driver. After the USB device has been successfully connected to the PC, select the following entry from
Rev 031109 34the Windows Start Menu: Programs => UltraVision => UltraVision Remote Switch Device Upon successful execution, the UltraVision icon will be visible in the Windows system tray (the set of icons in the lower-right corner of the Windows Desktop): Whenever that icon is present, the Remote Switch Device is active and, if configured properly, will be automatically updating any Measurement Computing switches as directed by the UltraVision Sensor Server. At any time while the application is running, you can double-click on the icon in the system tray to open the application's Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI allows you to: z Monitor and/or alter the current state of each switch z Modify the server configuration information z Monitor the application log and/or flash the LED on the Measurement Computing device When the application GUI is launched, it will initially display a list of all the switches currently being controlled, as seen here: The Contacts tab not only shows the current state of each switch being controlled, it also allows you to manually change the state of each switch simply by toggling the associated checkbox. This feature can be used to test switch settings or as part of a standard operating procedure that requires the operator to set or reset a switch for various reasons.
Rev 031109 35 If all of the entries are disabled, then either no Measurement Computing device was found connected to the PC or the server configuration information is incomplete or incorrect. In that case, select the Diagnostics tab to view the log and determine the cause of the problem. Removing the Application The UltraVision Remote Switch Device application is easily removed from the system using the following procedure: z If the application is currently running, double-click on the icon in the system tray to open the application GUI and press Exit Application to stop the application z Select Settings => Control Panel from the Windows Start Menu z Double-click Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel window z Select Change or Remove Programs from the left menu and select UltraVision Remote Switch Device from the list of currently installed programs z Press Remove to remove the application

Rev 031109 41 Release 10.9 Notes Version 10.9 Upgrade Process Execute the Upgrade.cmd script contained in the top-level directory of the distribution package to upgrade any version 10.4 or greater server to the current version. Distribution packages are cumulative, so there is no need to upgrade to each version. Simply run the upgrade script for the latest version to upgrade any previous version. When the Upgrade.cmd script is executed, it will allow you to: • upgrade just the server functionality (retaining current database data and user configuration), • upgrade the server and database (retaining user configuration), or upgrade everything (losing all data and setting the server to factory default settings). Summary The following significant changes were made to the UltraVision Sensor Server: • Added the UltraSensor Switch API • Added the UltraSensor Monitor API • Enhanced Audit Log archiving and pruning mechanisms • Enhanced the incident processing logic in the server to better filter false motion alarms. Each of these changes are discussed in more detail below. Graphical User Interface (GUI) Changes The following specific changes were made to the web-based Guard and Administrator Console used to monitor and control the UltraVision Sensor Server: • Added the Configure Monitors page to the Administrator Console to allow administrators to configure remote monitor accounts. Remote monitor accounts allow client applications to monitor server activity using the new UltraSensor Monitor API (see below for details). This page also allows administrators to see a list of all active monitor connections. • Added the Online Event Retention and Archive Log Retention properties to the Configure System page to allow administrators to specify how long event records should be retained in the database and how long archive event logs should be retained in the file system, respectively. This gives administrators better control over how database and file system resources are used on the server. • Removed the Auto Archive Interval property from the Configure System page which was made obsolete by the archive process changes described below.
Rev 031109 42• Added the Archived Logs button to the View Audit Log page to allow administrators to view the list of Audit Log archive files currently stored on the server. The new Audit Log Archive page also allows administrators to export a CSV file containing all archived audit records for a given day. • Modified the View Audit Log and View Event Log displays to limit the number of rows displayed in the GUI table and exported to a CSV file. This prevents users from accidentally trying to display more rows than the database, web server and browser are capable of handling. Server Changes The following specific changes were made to the server functionality and configuration mechanisms: • Fixed a bug that was preventing switch actions based on the POWER event from triggering properly. • Added support for the UltraSensor Switch API that allows client applications to receive switch state changes as defined on the Configure Switches administrator page. Client applications using this API must specify a valid Switch ID (e.g., location) and Access Code as defined on the Configure Switches page in order to start receiving state changes as events are processed by the server. • Added support for the UltraSensor Monitor API that allows client applications to monitor server activity, including server property changes, target data and event data. Client applications using this API must specify a valid Monitor ID and Access Code as defined on the new Configure Monitors page in order to access the server. • Fixed a problem with the maintenance task that prevented it from properly archiving and pruning the Audit/Event log on some systems. Event records are now automatically deleted from the database when they are older than the number of days specified by the Online Event Retention property on the Configure System page. The Online Event Retention property determines how far back in time Operators and Administrators can view Event Log or Audit Log records using the View Event Log and View Audit Log pages. • The Audit Log is now archived to individual CSV files on a daily basis in the c:\uvss\archive directory on the server. The daily files make it easier for administrators to find past events for a given time period. Furthermore, the format of the archive files is now the same as that used when exporting the Audit Log from the GUI, making it easier to post-process the CSV files. Archive files are automatically removed from the file system when they are older than the number of days specified by the Archive Log Retention property on the Configure System page.
Rev 031109 43• Added support for the LogViewMaxRows and LogExportMaxRows configuration properties in the c:\uvss\blogic.ini file to control the maximum number of events that can be displayed in the GUI event table and exported to CSV files, respectively. The properties can be optionally specified as part of the [GUI] category, as in the following example: [GUI] LogViewMaxRows=1000 LogExportMaxRows=5000 • Added support for the MOTION_COUNT_FILTER and MOTION_RANGE_FILTER configuration properties in the c:\uvss\blogic.ini file to fine-tune the algorithm used to filter out false alarms. a.) If MOTION_COUNT_FILTER is an integer greater than 1 (default value is 2), then the server will wait for a consecutive number of motion events before generating an alarm. This prevents alarms from being generated for spurious motion events. b.) If MOTION_RANGE_FILTER is a decimal value greater than zero (default value is 0), then the difference between the first motion event range and last motion event range (as determined by the MOTION_COUNT_FILTER) must be greater than or equal to the MOTION_RANGE_FILTER value (specified in feet) in order for an alarm to be generated. This prevents alarms from being generated unless two or more consecutive motion events occur with a “decreasing” range (i.e., target moving towards the sensor). - For example, suppose MOTION_COUNT_FILTER is specified as 2 and the MOTION_RANGE_FILTER is specified as 0.5 feet. - If the first motion event occurred at a range of 10 feet and the second consecutive motion event occurred at a range of 9 feet, then an alarm would be generated. - If the second consecutive motion event occurred at a range of 9.6 feet, then an alarm would not be generated at that time. However, if the 3rd consecutive motion event occurred at a range of 9.2 feet, then the alarm would be generated. • Added support for the INCIDENT_DEBUG configuration variable which allows technical support staff to log incident processing information for a given sensor. For example, if the INCIDENT_DEBUG variable is set to “3”, then only the incident processing information for Sensor 3 will be output to the server log. The amount of debug information generated could be quite large, so this configuration variable should be used only when actively trouble-shooting event filtering problems. • All server logs have been moved from the c:\uvss directory to the c:\uvss\logs directory to better organize the server runtime directory. • Created a new daily maintenance log in c:\uvss\logs to assist with trouble-shooting maintenance issues.
