Main Functions
Monitoring Center
Live View

With its easy to use live view, you can both customize and control how you view videos in real time. The layout can
also be configured to display videos in different sizes, enabling you to give priority to important areas by placing
then in larger windows. You can also remotely control certain devices to perform various actions such as talking
to people through the camera, and unlocking the barrier of a turnstile to grant access to people. If an emergency
occurs, manual recording is just a click away, so that you can quickly save that particular part of the video for
evidence.

Playback

The playback function allows you to play recorded videos stored on the server and devices in multiple windows.
To help you efficiently wade through tons of videos, you can play them 64X faster than the normal speed, skipping
parts that you are not interested in, or you can slow them down to 1/64X, to focus on important sections. To control
the data in the videos, you can add tags to mark relevant content, and you can even lock them to prevent them
from being overwritten when the disk space is full. The filter function can also be very helpful when you only need
to deal with a specific type of video, or a type of target that appeared in one or more areas.

Video Wall

Video wall is used to display videos on a large screen that consists of many smaller screens. Highly customizable, you
can not only configure the layout of the video wall, but you can also display recorded videos and real-time videos to
zero in on important details in the video. With the task function, you can schedule videos from different channels to
be displayed on the video wall at specified times or in a loop.

Map

The map is a very useful function that allows you to keep track of devices and events through their location
information. With it, you can mark a device and immediately know the location of an event when the device triggers
an alarm and flashes red on the map. You can also add submaps to different areas. For example, a plan view of a
public square can be added to a map to reveal the exact location of people who are inside the public square.

DeepXplore

Powered by AI technology, you can easily search for targets, and look for records on them, including snapshots, and
recorded videos.

Event Management
You can monitor and process over 200 types of alarms right from the event center. In addition to a selection of
predefined alarm types that are triggered by devices, you have the option to create your own alarm, which can be
manually triggered to take snapshots, send emails, and more for important events.

Access Management

Access Control
Through the integrated access control system, you can control access within any area directly from DSS4004-S2 by
utilizing the access control devices on the platform. You can use it to lock doors remotely, monitor the area around
doors, and more. To keep you up to date, the system also keeps complete records of all access control activities.

Video Intercom
All video intercom devices can be managed based on different in one single interface. With two-way communication
and remote access control, you have the ability to secure access to your premises. Also, residents will be able to
call and report emergencies quickly, allowing you to take immediate actions. To make building management easier,
messages that a lot of people should know, such as the electricity will be out for a few hours for maintenance
purposes, can be sent to their indoor monitors with only a few steps.

Visitor
DSS4004-S2 offers a complete process to manage visitors, including registration, access permission authorization,
and ending visit with all permissions canceled. A complete, detailed record of all visits is available for your review at
any time.

Intelligent Analysis

To help build your profits and strengthen your services, the platform provides invaluable information on people on
your premises through performing a variety of intelligent analysis and generating heat maps. Through it, you can
know the number of people in an area at any given time, where they frequent the most, and precisely when the
highest peaks in numbers occurs.

Parking Lot Management

With DSS4004-S2, you can remotely manage your parking lot by customizing the passing rules and monitoring the
real-time video from the entrance or exit. Complete records with detailed information of vehicles are generated for
your review.

① The total number of devices must be larger than the total number of video devices, access control devices, video intercom devices and other devices.

② The total number of video devices and channels must be larger than the total number of IPCs, NVRs, ITCs and other video devices and channels.

③ Event concurrency is peak concurrency: 20 minutes of peak concurrency test, 3 times a day, and 25% peak concurrency for the remaining time of the day.

④ Event concurrency: Event concurrency is in accordance with database concurrent writes. Concurrency of event with pictures must take picture write capacity of
the disk into account.

⑤ For concurrency of events with pictures, picture write concurrency should also be taken into consideration. The picture write concurrency of an individual server is up to 50
Mbps, so the concurrency of events with pictures is limited by picture write capacity.

DSS Agile

Live View

Even when you are away from your computer, you can also ensure the safety of your area right on DSS Agile. You can
watch the real-time videos remotely from up to 16 channels at the same time with 3 stream types for you to choose
according to the status of your mobile network. PTZ control is also supported so that you can cover most of the area.
When anything of interest happens, you can take snapshots or recordings as evidence that stores on your phone, or
send a voice message to deter unwanted activities.

Playback

Videos stored on devices or the server can both be played up to 8X faster or 1/8X slower on DSS Agile. You can also use
the manual recording function to record important content and save it to your phone.

Access Control

With DSS Agile, you can remotely monitor and operate all access control devices. For example, you can open a door for
someone who has a proven identity, or set a door to be always closed so that no one can access.

Target Tracking

For suspicious activities, you can locate targets directly in DSS Agile by searching for face recognition records from a
period, uploading a face image of a specific target, or searching for capture records of people, non-motor vehicles, and
motor vehicles by features.

Event

You can receive and process various types of alarms. You can also receive alarms when DSS Agile is not running with a
subscription button.

Video Intercom

You can make calls to and receive calls from master stations, indoor monitors and door stations. After subscribing to
offline calls, you will still receive calls even when the App is not running. Also, a complete record of incoming and
outgoing calls ensure that you will not miss any important message.

File Management
Snapshots and videos stored on devices or the server can be managed as you need, such as deleting them or exporting
them to your album.

DSS Agile VDP

Visitor Management

You can easily manage visitors by registering their information and generating visitor passes with necessary access
permissions. When they arrive, they can use the passes to gain access to where you are. DSS Agile VDP will log when
visitors begin and end their visits.

Intercom Monitoring

When guests arrive, they can call you on the door station or you can verify their identities through the live video. After
confirming they are who you are expecting, you can remotely open the door for them directly on DSS Agile VDP. If you
spot any unwanted activities, tap and call the management center to report an emergency.

Message Center

The unlock records and alarm messages on the indoor monitor are fully accessible on DSS Agile VDP, allowing you to
identify potential threats and ensure the safety of your residence.
