User Deined Multi-stream

In the past, users of digital surveillance systems were forced to make a tradeo between the video quality of a camera stream and requested bandwidth. The same camera stream was used for both live view and recording, and more bandwidth was required if a high quality camera stream was selected. Fortunately, with the introducon of mul-stream technology, users now can choose the main stream for recording les and the sub stream for live view.

graph TD
    A["Remote PC"] --> B["NVR"]
    B --> C["Camera"]
    C --> D["Main Stream"]
    D --> E["Sub Stream"]
    E --> F["Remote Live View Stream"]
    F --> A

The mul-stream technology was already supported by VioStor NVR before rmware

v4.1.0. However, stream properes such as resoluon, frame rate, and compression mechanism could not be changed by users.

The mul-stream feature in rmware v4.1.0 has been enhanced. Users can congregate stream properes aer selecng "User Dened" from the drop-down list on the user interface, and users can choose stream properes based on their needs.

Please note that in the Mul-Stream Prole, the default value is "System-Congured".

Smart Recording

Smart Recording is a powerful feature in the eld of digital surveillance as high quality videos are recorded during an unexpected event, and the low quality camera stream is used for regular recording. This is extremely beneficial as more details about an event can be revealed from the high denion camera stream recorded during that event, and less storage space is consumed comparing to when the high quality camera stream is used for Round-the-clock recording.

graph TD
    subgraph_ATM_1["ATM"]

    end

The VioStor NVR supports two recording modes: Round-the-clock Recording mode and Smart Recording mode, and they are described below:

- Round-the-clock Recording mode: The same stream from the camera is used for both regular recording and alarm recording. To use this funcon, please select one camera stream from the stream list.

● Smart Recording mode: Dierent camera streams are used for regular recording and alarm recording. To use this funcon, please select one camera stream for regular recording and another for alarm recording.

As more cameras will be supported for Smart Recording in the future, please be sure to check out our camera compatibility list from me to me for your camera selecon.

How to Congure Smart Recording?

1. Go to the "Camera Congure" to add a camera which supports user dened mul-stream.
2. Click 'Next' for recording sengs.
3. Select "User denied" from the "Mul-stream Prole" dropdown list.
4. Select "Smart Recording" from the "Recording Mode" dropdown list.
5. Select camera streams for recording modes.
6. Select one camera stream from the "Regular Recording" dropdown list.
7. Select a dierent camera stream from the "Alarm Recording" dropdown list.

Please note: Scheduled Recording and Alarm Recording must be enabled rst.

Limitaons and Restricons:

1. A camera stream can only be selected as for either Regular Recording or Alarm Recording.
2. The number of streams supported and stream properes (such as codec, resoluon, frame rate and quality) vary based on camera models, and the same property value may not be available as other properes are changed. For example: if H.264 or Full HD is selected as the video compression seng for stream 1, users may only be le with M-JPEG or VGA for stream 2. This is a camera limitaon.
3. Please refer to our camera compatibility list for supported camera models.
4. Because more bandwidth is required for Smart Recording, please esmate your bandwidth usage before using this feature. Take Vivotek IP8132 for example, this model oers three streams. Stream 1 uses 663Kbps, Stream 2 uses 1000Kbps and Stream 3 uses 3000Kbps (Please refer to Vivotek Video Transmission Calculator for detail.) The total bandwidth required is 4663Kbps (663K + 1000K + 3000K). If 30 Vivotek IP8132 cameras are connected to a NVR for live view and Smart Recording is used, at least 133930Kbps bandwidth is required.

7.1.2.1 Flexible Channel Mode

Applicable to the VS-2200 Pro+ series (including VS-2212 Pro+, VS-2208 Pro+, VS-2204 Pro+). Switch to the exible channel mode on QVR desktop -> [Surveillance Sengs] -> System Sengs] -> [Advanced Sengs]

Denions:

D1 here means the number of channels where the recording resolution is lower than D1.

HD here means the number of channels where the recording resolution exceeds D1, but is lower than HD.

Full HD here means the number of channels where the recording resolution exceeds HD.

Applied Channels (Full HD/ HD/ D1) mean the number of channels where the recording resolution exceeds HD, exceeds D1, but is lower than HD and will be lower than D1 respectively

(Full HD/ HD/ D1) Available channels/ Maximum channels mean the number of (Full HD/ HD/ D1) channels you can add and the maximum number of (Full HD/ HD/ D1) channels.

Under the exible channel mode, the number of actual recording channels will vary depending on the recording resolution of added channels. The system will calculate

the number of actual recording channels by using the recording resoluon index automacally. The recording resoluon index of Full HD channel, HD channel, and D1 channel is 4, 2 and 1. The amount of recording resoluon indexes of the device cannot exceed 4 mes the number of camera licenses. Taking VS-2212 Pro+ as an example, aer changing to the exible channel mode, the maximum number of recording channels will be 48. You can add up to 48 channels with (max) D1 resoluon, 24 channels with (max) HD resoluon, or 12 channels with Full HD resoluon. Or you can add 16 channels with (max) D1 resoluon, 8 channels with (max) HD resoluon, and 4 channels with Full HD resoluon.

☐ Overwrite the oldest recordings when the available storage on the remote host is less than 4GB
☐ Perform mirroring replication by deleting extra files on the remote destination

Note: When remote replication is in process, the recording performance will be decreased

• Select 'Replicaon Now', the NVR will back up the recording data to the remote storage device immediately.
• Select 'Overwrite the oldest recordings when the available storage on the remote host is less than 4GB'; the NVR will overwrite the oldest recording data when the free space on the server is less than 4GB.
• Select 'Perform mirroring replicaon by deleng extra les on the remote replicaon', the NVR will synchronize the recording data between itself and the remote storage device and delete any extra les on the remote storage device.

When the above opons are all selected and remote replicaon is executed, the NVR will do the following:

i. The NVR checks if there are les on the remote storage device that are dierent from the local source. If yes, the dierenated les will be deleted.
ii. Next, the NVR checks the free space of remote storage device. If the free space is larger than 4GB, the remote replicaon will be executed immediately.
iii. If the free space of the remote storage device is less than 4GB, the NVR will overwrite the recording data of the oldest day and then executes the remote replicaon.

1. The NVR displays the latest 10 remote replicaon records.

In the above example:

• When the status is shown as 'Failed (Remote access error)': Check to see if the remote storage device is running and if the network sengs are correct.
• When the status is shown as 'Failed (An internal error occurred)': Check the hard drive status of the NVR and view the Event Logs.

Note: The me required by the NVR to replicate the data to the remote storage device varies depending on the network environment. If the remote replicaon takes too long, some recording les may be overwritten by the NVR. To avoid this, it is recommended to refer to the status messages to analyze the me required for the remote replicaon and adjust the replicaon schedule accordingly.

8.4 Storage Expansion

Without a doubt, storage plays a significant role in the eld of digital surveillance. However, users everywhere are facing the challenge of storage capacity for long-term recording. Now, QNAP Security has introduced the storage expansion feature to eliminate this problem. Making the right storage decision with regard to storage expansion is truly important to save money & me for all users. The various QNAP Turbo NAS models are the soluon that expands on the storage capacity of the NVR to save more recording les. The storage expansion can provide up to 64TB (16-bay model) additional space per channel, totaling more than 200TB. Integraon of both QNAP devices can help users easily save a significant amount of recording les.

Key features:

1. Addressing user needs: Users can expand their storage capacity based on their needs.
2. Reducing expense: This is a cost-eecve choice for expanding storage capacity.
3. Highly scalable for future storage expansion.

Limitaons and Restricons:

1. Currently, Storage Expansion is only supported by the VioStor Pro(+) series and QNAP x86-based NAS models (with rmware version v4.0.2 and above), and they are required to be set on the same LAN.
2. A gigabit switch is required for this applicaon.
3. For NVR and NAS servers located on the same subnet, please always use stac IP addresses and the same subnet mask.
4. Modicaon on storage expansion related sengs is not supported on local display.
5. The le moving process between the NVR and NAS will be completed even if it is suddenly interrupted (for example, the desnaon folder is deleted). For example, the cache count is set to six hours. The desnaon is changed to none in the middle of the processing. When this happens, the NVR will sll move recording les to the NAS unl the enre process is nished.

Note:

In order to ensure that Storage Expansion can be executed during the recording

process, please be advised to esmate the limitaon on network throughput for specific VioStor NVR series.

The following is suggested limitaon of the network throughput for specic NVR models:

VS-8100 Pro+/8100U-RP Pro (+)/12100U-RP Pro (+) series: 360 Mbps.

VS-2100 Pro+/4100 Pro+/6100 Pro+ series: 160 Mbps.

VS-2000 Pro/4000 Pro/6000 Pro series: 90 Mbps.

The display time of the recordings will be incorrect.
The time of the event log displayed will be inconsistent with the actual time when an action occurs.

Synchronize with an Internet time server automatically

Turn on this option to synchronize the date and time of the NVR automatically with an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. Enter the IP address or domain name of the NTP server, for example, time.nist.gov, time.windows.com. Then enter the time interval for synchronization. This option can be used only when the NVR is connected to the Internet.

Disable RTC synchronization

Disable this option to enable RTC synchronization.

Note: A real-time clock (RTC) is a computer clock (most often in the form of an integrated circuit) that keeps track of the current time.

Set the server time the same as your computer time

To synchronize the time of the NVR with the computer time, click "Update" next to this option.

9.1.2 Storage Manager

Volume Management

This page shows the model, size, and current status of the hard drives on the NVR.

You can format and check the hard drives, and scan the bad blocks on the hard drives.

When the hard drives have been formaed, the NVR will create the following default share folders:

mp4: The shared folder for MP4 Recordings App.
record_export: The shared folder for Recording Export Pro APP.
record_nvr: The default shared folder for regular recording les.
record_nvr_alarm: The default shared folder for alarm recording les.
snapshot: The default shared folder for auto snapshot.

Note: The default shared folders of the NVR are created on the rst disk volume and the directory cannot be changed.

Disk Conguraon	Applied NVR Models
Single disk volume	All models
RAID 0	2-drive models or above
RAID 1, JBOD (just a bunch of disks)	2-drive models or above
RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 5+hot spare	4-drive models or above
RAID 6+hot spare	5-drive models or above
RAID 10	4-drive models or above
RAID 10+hot spare	5-drive models or above

Single Disk VolumeEach hard drive is used as a standalone disk. If a hard drive is damaged, all the data will be lost.
JBOD (Just a bunch of disks)JBOD is a collecon of hard drives that does not oer any RAID protecon. The data are wrien to the physical disks sequenally. The total storage capacity is equal to the sum of the capacity of all member hard drives.
RAID 0 Striping Disk VolumeRAID 0 (striping disk) combines 2 or more hard drives into one larger volume. The data is wrien to the hard drive without any parity informaon and no redundancy is oered.The total storage capacity of a RAID 0 disk volume is equal to
the sum of the capacity of all member hard drives.
RAID 1 Mirroring Disk VolumeRAID 1 duplicates the data between two hard drives to provide disk mirroring. To create a RAID 1 array, a minimum of 2 hard drives are required.The storage capacity of a RAID 1 disk volume is equal to the size of the smallest hard drive.
RAID 5 Disk VolumeThe data are striped across all the hard drives in a RAID 5 array.The parity informaon is distributed and stored across each hard drive. If a member hard drive fails, the array enters degraded mode. Aer installing a new hard drive to replace the failed one, the data can be rebuilt from other member drives that contain the parity informaon.To create a RAID 5 disk volume, a minimum of 3 hard drives are required.The storage capacity of a RAID 5 array is equal to (N-1) * (size of smallest hard drive). N is the number of hard drives in the array.
RAID 6 Disk VolumeThe data are striped across all the hard drives in a RAID 6 array.RAID 6 diers from RAID 5 that a second set of parity informaon is stored across the member drives in the array. It tolerates failure of two hard drives.To create a RAID 6 disk volume, a minimum of 4 hard drives are required. The storage capacity of a RAID 6 array is equal to (N-2) * (size of smallest hard drive). N is the number of hard drives in the array.
RAID 10 Disk VolumeRAID 10 combines four or more disks in a way that protects data against loss of non-adjacent disks. It provides security by mirroring all data on a secondary set of disks while using striping across each set of disks to speed up data transfers.RAID 10 requires an even number of hard drives (minimum 4 hard drives). The storage capacity of RAID 10 disk volume is equal to (size of the smallest capacity disk in the array) * N/2. N is the number of hard drives in the volume.

RAID Management

You can perform online RAID capacity expansion (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10) and online RAID level migraon (single disk, RAID 1, 5, 10), add a hard drive member to a RAID 5, 6, or 10 conguraon, conjure a spare hard drive (RAID 5, 6, 10) with the data retained, enable Bitmap, recover a RAID conguraon, and set a global spare on this page.

To expand the storage capacity of a RAID 10 volume, you can perform online RAID capacity expansion or add an even number of hard disk drives to the volume.

Expand Capacity (Online RAID Capacity Expansion)

Scenario

You bought three 250GB hard drives for initial setup of a NVR and congured RAID 5 disk conguraon with the three hard drives.

A half year later, the data size of the department has largely increased to 1.5TB. In other words, the storage capacity of the NVR is running out of use. At the same me, the price of 1TB hard drives has dropped to a large extent.

Operaon procedure

In "Storage Manager" > "RAID Management", select the disk volume for expansion and click "Expand Capacity".

Click "Change" for the rst hard drive to be replaced. Follow the instrucons to proceed.

Tip: Aer replacing the hard drive, the descripon eld shows "You can replace this drive". This means you can replace the hard drive to a larger one or skip this step if the hard drives have been replaced already.

Cauon: When the hard drive synchronizaon is in process, do NOT turn o the NVR or plug in or unplug the hard disk drives.

When the descripon displays "Please remove this drive", remove the hard drive from the NVR. Wait for the NVR to beep twice aer removing the hard drive.

When the descripon displays "Please insert the new drive", plug in the new hard drive to the drive slot.

Aer plugging in the hard drive, wait for the NVR to beep. The system will start rebuilding.

Aer rebuilding has completed, repeat the steps above to replace other hard drives.

Aer changing the hard drives and disk rebuilding has completed, click "Expand Capacity" to execute RAID capacity expansion.

Click "OK" to proceed.

The NVR beeps and starts to expand the capacity.

The process may take from hours to tens of hours to nish depending on the drive size. Please wait paently for the process to nish. Do NOT turn o the power of the NVR.

Aer RAID capacity expansion has nished, the new capacity is shown and the status is "Ready". You can start to use the NVR. (In the example you have 1.8TB logical volume.)

Tip: If the descripon sll shows "You can replace this hard drive" and the status of the drive volume says "Ready", it means the RAID volume is sll expandable.

Migrate (Online RAID Level Migraon)

During the initial setup of the NVR, you bought a 250GB hard drive and congured it as single disk.

Aer a period of me, more and more important recordings are saved on the NVR.

There is a rising concern for hard drive damage and data loss. Therefore, you planned to upgrade the disk conguraon to RAID 5.

You can install one hard drive for seng up the NVR and upgrade the RAID level of the NVR with online RAID level migraon in the future. The migraon process can be done without turning o the NVR. All the data will be retained.

You can do the following with online RAID level migraon:

• Migrate the system from single disk to RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 or RAID 10

• Migrate the system from RAID 1 to RAID 5, RAID 6 or RAID 10

• Migrate the system from RAID 5 with 3 hard drives to RAID 6

You need to:

• Prepare a hard drive of the same or larger capacity as an exisng drive in the RAID conguraon.

- Execute RAID level migraon (migrate the system from single disk mode to RAID 5 with 4 hard drives).

Go to "Storage Manager" > "Volume Management". The current disk volume conguraon displayed on the page is single disk (the capacity is 250GB).

Plug in the new 250GB hard drives to drive slots 2 and 3 of NVR. The NVR will detect the new hard drives. The status of the new hard drives is "Unmounted".

Go to "Storage Manager" > "RAID Management", click "Migrate" from the "Acon."

Select one or more available drives and the migraon method. The drive capacity aer migraon is shown. Click "Migrate".

Note that all the data on the selected hard drive will be cleared. Click "OK" to conrm.

When migraon is in process, the required me and total drive capacity aer migraon are shown in the descripon eld.

The NVR will enter “Read only” mode when migraon is in process during 11%–49% to assure the data of the RAID conguraon will be consistent aer RAID migraon completes.

Aer migraon completes, the new drive conguraon (RAID 5) is shown and the status is Ready. You can start to use the new drive conguraon.

The process may take from hours to tens of hours to nish depending on the hard drive size. You can connect to the web page of the NVR to check the status later.

Use Online RAID Capacity Expansion and Online RAID Level Migraon

Add a hard drive

Follow the steps below to add a hard drive member to a RAID 5 or RAID 6 disk conguraon.

1. Make sure the status of the RAID 5 or RAID 6 conguraon is "Ready".
2. Install a hard drive on the NVR. If you have a hard drive which has already been

formaed as single disk volume on the NVR, you can add this hard drive to the RAID 5 or RAID 6 conguraon. You are recommended to use hard disk drives of the same storage capacity for the RAID conguraon.

Select the RAID 5 or RAID 6 conguraon on the "RAID Management" page and

1. click "Add Hard Drive".

Select the new hard drive member. The total drive capacity aer adding the

1. drive will be shown. Click "Add Hard Drive."

All the data on the new hard drive member will be deleted during this process.

The data on the original RAID 5 or RAID 6 conguraon will be retained. Click

1. "OK". The NVR will beep twice.

To add hard drives member to a RAID 10 disk volume, repeat the above steps. Note that you need to add an even number of hard disk drives to a RAID 10 volume. The storage capacity of the RAID 10 volume will increase upon successful conguraon.

This process may take a few hours to tens of hours to complete depending on the number and the size of the hard drive. Please wait paently for the process to nish. Do NOT turn o the NVR during this process. You can use a RAID conguraon of larger capacity aer the process.

Congure Spare Drive

You can add a spare drive to or remove a spare drive from a RAID 5, 6, or 10 conguraon.

Follow the steps below to use this feature.

1. Make sure the status of the RAID 5, 6, 10 conguraon is "Ready".
   Install a hard drive on the NVR. If you have a hard drive which has already been formed as single disk volume on the NVR, you can congregate this hard drive as the spare drive. You are recommended to use hard disk drives of the same
2. storage capacity for the RAID conguraon.
3. Select the RAID volume and click "Congure Spare Drive."
   To add a spare drive to the selected conguraon, select the hard drive and click "Congure Spare Drive." To remove a spare drive, unselect the spare drive and
4. click "Congure Spare Drive."
5. All the data on the selected hard drive will be deleted. Click "OK" to proceed.

The original data on the RAID 5, 6, or 10 disk volume will be retained. Aer the conguraon completes, the status of the disk volume will become “Ready”.

Note: A hot spare drive must be removed from the disk volume before execung the following acon:

Online RAID capacity
expansion
Online RAID level
migraon
Adding a hard drive member to a RAID 5, RAID 6
or RAID 10 volume

Bitmap

Bitmap improves the me for RAID rebuilding aer an unexpected error, or removing or re-adding a member hard drive of the RAID conguraon. If an array has a bitmap, the member hard drive can be removed and re-added and only blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be re-synchronized. To use this feature, select a RAID volume and click “Enable Bitmap”.

Note: Bitmap support is only available for RAID 1, 5, 6, and 10.

Recover (RAID Recovery)

RAID Recovery: When the NVR is congured as RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 and any number of hard drives is unplugged from the NVR accidentally, you can plug in the same hard drives into the same drive slots and click “Recover” to recover the volume status from “Not acve” to “Degraded mode”.

If the disk volume is congured as RAID 0 or JBOD and one or more of the hard drive members are disconnected or unplugged, you can plug in the same hard drives into the same drive slots and use this funcon to recover the volume status from "Not acve" to "Normal". The disk volume can be used normally aer successful recovery.

Disk volume	Supports RAID recovery	Maximum number of disk removal allowed
Single	No	-
JBOD	Yes	1 or more
RAID 0	Yes	1 or more
RAID 1	Yes	1 or 2
RAID 5	Yes	2 or more
RAID 6	Yes	3 or more
RAID 10	No	-

Note:

Aer recovering a RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 6 disk volume from not acve to degraded mode by the RAID recovery, you can read or write the volume normally. The volume status will be recovered to normal aer synchronizaon. If the disconnected drive member is damaged, the RAID recovery funcon will not work.

9.1.3 Network

TCP/IP

(i) IP Address

Congure the TCP/IP sengs, DNS Server and default Gateway of the NVR on this page.

Click to edit the network sengs. For the NVR with two LAN ports, users can

connect both network interfaces to two dierent switches and conjure the TCP/IP sengs. The NVR will acquire two IP addresses which allow access from two dierent subnets. This is known as mul-IP sengs*. When using the Finder to detect the NVR IP, the IP of the Ethernet 1 will be shown in LAN 1 only and the IP of the Ethernet 2 will be shown in LAN 2 only. To use the port trunking mode for dual LAN conncon, see secon (iv).

Network Parameters

Under the Network Parameters tab on the TCP/IP Property page, congure the following sengs:

Network Speed

Select the network transfer rate according to the network environment to which the NVR is connected. Select auto negoaoon and the NVR will adjust the transfer rate automacally.

Obtain the IP address sengs automacally via DHCP

If the network supports DHCP, select this opon and the NVR will automacally obtain the IP address and network sengs.

Use stac IP address

To use a stac IP address for network conncon, enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

Jumbo Frame Sengs (MTU)

“Jumbo Frames” refer to the Ethernet frames that are larger than 1500 bytes. It is designed to enhance Ethernet networking throughput and reduce the CPU ulizaon of large le transfers by enabling more ecient larger payloads per packet.

Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) refers to the size (in bytes) of the largest packet that a given layer of a communicaons protocol can transmit.

The NVR uses standard Ethernet frames: 1500 bytes by default. If the network appliances support Jumbo Frame seng, select the appropriate MTU value for the network environment. The NVR supports 4074, 7418, and 9000 bytes for MTU.

Note: The Jumbo Frame seng is valid in Gigabit network environment only. All the network appliances connected must enable Jumbo Frame and use the same MTU value.

DHCP Server

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguraon Protocol) server assigns IP addresses to the clients on a network. Select "Enable DHCP Server" to set the NVR a DHCP server if there is none on the local network where the NVR locates.

Note:

Do not enable DHCP server if there is one the local network to avoid IP

- address conicts or network access errors.

The DHCP server opon is available to Ethernet 1 only when both LAN ports of a dual LAN NVR are connected to the network and Ethernet 1 is assigned

- with a xed IP.

Start IP, End IP, Lease Time: Set the range of IP addresses allocated by the NVR to the DHCP clients and the lease me. The lease me refers to the me that an IP address is leased to the clients. During that me, the IP will be reserved to the assigned client. When the lease me expires, the IP can be assigned to another client.

(ii) DNS Server

A DNS (Domain Name Service) server translates between a domain name (such as google.com) and an IP address (74.125.31.105). Congure the NVR to obtain a DNS server address automatically or specify the IP address of a DNS server.

Primary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server. Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server.

Note:

Please contact the ISP or network administrator for the IP address of the primary and the secondary DNS servers. When the NVR plays the role as a terminal and needs to perform independent conncon, for example, BT download, enter at least one DNS server IP for proper URL conncon.

• Otherwise, the funcon may not work properly.
  If you select to obtain the IP address by DHCP, there is no need to congure
• the primary and the secondary DNS servers. In this case, enter "0.0.0.0".

(iii) Default Gateway

Select the gateway sengs to use if both LAN ports have been connected to the network (dual LAN NVR models only).

(iv) Port Trunking

Applicable to NVR models with two or more LAN ports only.

The NVR supports port trunking which combines two Ethernet interfaces into one to increase the bandwidth and oers load balancing and fault tolerance (also known as failover). Load balancing is a feature which distributes the workload evenly across two Ethernet interfaces for higher redundancy. Failover is the capability to switch over to a standby network interface (also known as the slave interface) when the primary network interface (also known as the master interface) does not correspond correctly to maintain high availability.

To use port trunking on the NVR, make sure at least two LAN ports of the NVR have been connected to the same switch and the sengs described in seconds (i) and (ii) have been congured.

Follow the steps below to congure port trunking on the NVR:

1

. Click "Port Trunking".

1. Select the network interfaces for a trunking group (Ethernet 1+2, Ethernet 3+4, Ethernet 5+6, or Ethernet 7+8). Choose a port trunking mode from the drop-down menu. The default opon is Acve Backup (Failover).

1. Select a port trunking group to use. Click "Apply"

1. Click "here" to connect to the login page.

1. Click the Edit buon under "IP Address" to edit the network sengs.

Note: Make sure the Ethernet interfaces are connected to the correct switch and the switch has been congured to support the port trunking mode selected on the NVR.

The port trunking opons available on the NVR:

Field	Descripon	Switch Required
Balance-rr (Round-Robin)	Round-Robin mode is good for general purpose load balancing between two Ethernet interfaces. This mode transmits packets in sequenal order from the rst available slave through the last. Balance-rr provides load balancing and fault tolerance.	Supports stac trunking. Make sure stac trunking is enabled on the switch.
Acve Backup	Acve Backup uses only one Ethernet interface. It switches to the second Ethernet interface if the rst Ethernet interface does not work properly. Only one interface in the bond is acve. The bond's MAC address is only visible externally on one port (network adapter) to avoid confusing the switch. Acve Backup mode provides fault tolerance.	General switches
Balance XOR	Balance XOR balances trac by spling upoutgoing packets between the Ethernet interfaces, using the same one for each specic desnaon when possible. It transmits based on the selected transmit hash policy. The default policy is a simple slave count operang on Layer 2 where the source MAC address is coupled with desnaon MAC address. Alternate transmit policies may be selected via the xmit_hash_policy opon. Balance XOR mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.	Supports stactrunking. Make sure stac trunking is enabled on the switch.
Broadcast	Broadcast sends trac on both network interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.	Supports stac trunking. Make sure stac trunking is enabled on the switch.
IEEE 802.3ad (Dynamic Link Aggregaon)	Dynamic Link Aggregaon uses a complex algorithm to aggregate adapters by speed and duplex sengs. It ulizes all slaves in the acve aggregator according to the 802.3ad specicaon. Dynamic Link Aggregaon mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance but requires a switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad with LACP mode properly congured.	Supports 802.3ad LACP
Balance-tlb (Adapve Transmit Load Balancing)	Balance-tlb uses channel bonding that does not require any special switch. The outgoing trac is distributed according to the current load on each Ethernet interface (computed relave to the speed). Incoming trac is received by the current Ethernet interface. If the receiving Ethernet interface fails, the other slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave. Balance-tlb mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.	General switches
Balance-alb(Adapve Load Balancing)	Balance-alb is similar to balance-tlb but also aempts to redistribute incoming (receive load balancing) for IPV4 trac. This setup does not require any special switch support or conguraon. The receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negoaon sent by the local system on their way out and overwrites the source hardware address with the unique hardware address of one of the Ethernet interfaces in the bond such that dierent peers use dierent hardware address for the server. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.	General switches

DDNS Service

Behavior of the UPS feature of the NVR

In case of power loss and power recovery, the events will be logged in the “System Event Logs”.

During a power loss, the NVR will wait for the specied me you enter in the "UPS Sengs" before powering o or entering auto-protecon mode.

If the power restores before the end of the waing me, the NVR will remain in operaon and cancel its power-o or auto-protecon acon.

Once the power restores:

If the NVR is in auto-protecon mode, it will resume to normal operaon.

If the NVR is powered o, it will remain o.

Difference between auto-protection mode and power-off mode

Mode	Advantage	Disadvantage
Auto-protecon mode	The NVR resumes aer power recovery.	If the power outage lasts unl the UPS is turned o, the NVR may suer from abnormal shutdown.
Power-o mode	The NVR will be shut down properly.	The NVR will remain o aer the power recovery. Manual power on of the NVR is required.

If the power restores aer the NVR has been shut down and before the UPS device is powered o, you may power on the NVR by Wake on LAN* (if your NVR and UPS device both support Wake on LAN and Wake on LAN is enabled on the NVR).

If the power restores aer both the NVR and the UPS have been shut down, the NVR will react according to the settings in “System Settings” > “Power Recovery”.

Advanced Opons

WINS server:

If the local network has a WINS server installed, specify the IP address. The NVR will automacally register its name and IP address with WINS service. If you have a WINS server on your network and want to use this server, enter the WINS server IP. Do not turn on this opon if you are not sure about the sengs.

Local Domain Master:

A Domain Master Browser is responsible for collecting and recording resources and services available for each PC on the network or a workgroup of Windows. When you nd the waing me for connecng to the Network Neighborhood/My Network Places too long, it may be caused by failure of an exisng master browser or a missing master browser on the network. If there is no master browser on your network, select the opon “Domain Master” to conjure the NVR as the master browser. Do not turn on this opon if you are not sure about the sengs.

Allow only NTLMv2 authencaon:

NTLMv2 stands for NT LAN Manager version 2. When this opon is turned on, login to the shared folders by Microso Networking will be allowed only with NTLMv2 authencaon. If the opon is turned o, NTLM (NT LAN Manager) will be used by default and NTLMv2 can be negoated by the client. The default seng is disabled.

Name resoluon priority:

You can select to use DNS server or WINS server to resolve client host names from IP addresses. When you set up your NVR to use a WINS server or to be a WINS server, you can choose to use DNS or WINS rst for name resoluon. When WINS is enabled, the default seng is "Try WINS then DNS". Otherwise, DNS will be used for name resoluon by default.

Login style: DOMAIN\USERNAME instead of DOMAIN+USERNAME for FTP, AFP, and File Staon

In an Acve Directory environment, the default login formats for the domain users are:

• Windows shares: domain\username
• FTP: domain+username
  File Staon: domain+username
  • AFP: domain+username

When you turn on this opon, the users can use the same login name format (domain\username) to connect to the NVR via AFP, FTP, and File Staon.

Automacally register in DNS: When this opon is turned on and the NVR is joined to an Acve Directory, the NVR will register itself automacally in the domain DNS server. This will create a DNS host entry for the NVR in the DNS server. If the NVR IP is changed, the NVR will automacally update the new IP in the DNS server.

Enable trusted domains: Select this opon to load the users from trusted Acve Directory domains and specify their access permissions to the NVR in “Privilege Sengs” > “Shared Folders”. (The domain trusts are set up in Acve Directory only, not on the NVR.)

Step 7: The NVR will then install QSCM Lite

Step 8: Click OK

Step 9: QSCM Lite will now be listed in My Apps, with the default Open status. QVR 5.0 is now a CMS server.

If needed, QSCM Lite can be turned o to disable the CMS server funcon.

11.2.3 Installation Reminders and Suggestions

• QSCM Lite can only be installed to QNAP NVR with rmware version 5.0 or above.

• When enabling QSCM Lite on QVR 5.0, you have 2 opons:

• Do not record camera footage to this server, and have it act as a pure CMS server.

• Keep recording camera footage to this server, and have it act as both a CMS and NVR server simultaneously.

In the second case (the server will act as both a CMS and NVR server simultaneously), the server's hardware resources will be shared by the NVR server service & the CMS server service. If the CPU usage rate is more than 80%, or when the throughput is busy, the performance of both the NVR server and CMS server will be impacted.

- It is strongly recommended to enable just one QVR 5.0 as QSCM Lite to centrally manage the NVRs in a LAN. Otherwise, the QSCM Lite event management (including the live view event nocaon and event log) will be scaered to mulple QSCM Lites.

11.3 Use QSCM Lite on NVR Client PC

11.3.1 How to use QSCM Lite on NVR client PC

Step 1: Connect to a QVR 5.0 with QSCM Lite. For instrucons on how to install QSCM Lite, please refer to 1.2.2.

Step 2: Go to the App Center on the QVR 5.0 desktop.

Or, the Main Menu of QVR 5.0

Step 3: Click on the QSCM Lite icon to go to the QSCM Lite login page

Step 4: The system will automatically redirect to the QSCM Lite login page, and you can log in by using the default username/password (admin/admin).

Step 5: The rst page you will see aer logging into QSCM Lite is the live view page. Before you have congured QSCM Lite, no camera feedback will be displayed.

Step 6: To congure QSCM Lite, go to the conguraon page.

Step 7: For how to congregate QSCM Lite, please refer to Secon 3.5 Congure CMS Client of the VioStor CMS user manual.

Note:

- VioStor CMS is a high-performance turnkey CMS soluon. The CMS Server supports up to a maximum of 128 mul-server monitoring and management. Users can monitor up to a maximum of 1,024 IP cameras with up to 64 channels per screen. Concurrent independent playback and display controls in four screens are also supported. The CMS Server has the highest compatibility with

the QNAP VioStor NVR series and also supports a variety of brand-name IP cameras.

For detailed VioStor CMS informaon, please refer to:

hp://www.qnapsecurity.com/pro_detail_featurecms.asp?p_id=273

11.3.2 Usability Reminder and Suggestions

- If you have the server performing as both a CMS and NVR server simultaneously, it is strongly recommended to open just one live view page (either QVR 5.0 live view or QSCM Lite live view) at the same me. Otherwise, the CPU and throughput usage of the client PC will double.

- For client PC requirements, please refer the Secon 2.1 Personal Computer Requirements of this user manual.

11.3.3 QSCM Lite Client Specification

- The QSCM Lite client specicaon is mostly synchronized with the VioStor CMS client specicaon.

12. Qstart

12.1 Introduction

Qstart brings two leading-edge innovave features: system inializaon and network switch control. It simplifies system inializaon through automacally assigning default sengs with just a single click. By integrang supported switches, Qstart provides comprehensive network topology and a device list for users to fully manage network health and device status. Qstart integrates the major funcons of PoE switches so users can easily setup camera IPs, manage PoE status and monitor trac ow from the VioStor soware (QVR). The intuitive GUI also allows for precise failure detecon and ecient troublesomeong. Qstart provides users with a refreshing experience when installing and remotely maintaining NVRs.

12.2 Before Using Qstart

1. All devices including IP cameras, Client PCs, a QNAP VioStor should be connected to the same PoE switch. (VioStor now only supports the scenario of one PoE switch, please avoid cascade PoE cases.)
2. Do not set your device to a stac IP, including the client PC and the VioStor NVR, DHCP sengs only.
3. All IP cameras must be set to default for Qstart inializaon.

12.3 System Initialization

To use Qstart, please ensure your inserted hard drives are unallocated.

- Please ensure that you use a supported switch and a VioStor model (please check the compatibility list for more informaon).

1. Find the VioStor's IP address via QNAP nder.
2. Connect to the QVR web-based administration page and select Qstart.

Please note:

• Users cannot modify network sengs (DHCP/Stac) in Qstart mode.
• The channel number is based on the port number of the switch. (For example, if a VS-2112 Pro+ connects to a 24-port switch, the table will show channel 1 to channel 24 regardless of the NVR's supported channels.)

• Default sengs:

• Selects all supported cameras that are connected to the switch.

• Auto congure

• Enter the QVR desktop. The camera overview page and QVR introducon page will appear simultaneously. (The camera overview in front, and the QVR introducon behind it.)

Please note: The system will enable Qstart once users nish the Qstart inializaon.

12.4 Qstart Mode

Main features:

- Intuitive channel mapping:

The video shown on channel 1 represents the recording view of port 1 to the switch.

● Auto port detecon and conguraon:

If devices are connected to other ports, the system will automatically detect the change and move all sengs (excluding advanced sengs) to the new ports. Users do not have to set it up all over again.

1. Add a supported camera to the port:

If it is a new camera, the NVR will automatically add it using default sengs.
If it is a camera that has been used before, the NVR will use its previous sengs.

1. Removing the camera from the port will clear the camera sengs.
2. Any port changes will be saved in the system logs.

If you want to check Qstart mode, please go to [Surveillance Sengs] ->[Advanced Sengs]->[Qstart Sengs]. Also be sure to use supported switches to enable Qstart mode. The brand and model name will be shown and users can test the conncon.

Qstart mode is enabled by default if users select Qstart during inializaon.

Otherwise it will be disabled. Users can also choose Manual Setup for inializaon if they are not planning to use Qstart. In Qstart mode, you cannot add cameras to specic channels. To get around this limitaon, you must disable Qstart in Advanced Sengs.

Please note:

If you enable Qstart mode again, all of your camera sengs will be erased.

15. Troubleshooting

1. The monitoring screen did not display.

Please check the following:

a. Check if the AcveX add-on has been installed when logging in the monitoring page of the NVR. Set the security level to 'Medium' or lower in Internet Opons of the IE browser.
b. The NVR is turned on and the network is correctly connected.
c. The IP address of the NVR does not conict with other devices in the same subnet.
d. Check the IP address settings of the NVR and the computer. Make sure they are on the same subnet.

2. A channel on the monitoring page cannot be displayed.

Please check the following:

a. The IP address, the name, and the password entered on the camera conguraon page are correct. Use the 'Test' funcon to verify the conncon.
b. When the PC and the IP camera are on the same subnet, while the NVR is on another subnet, the monitoring screen cannot be viewed from the PC. Solve the problems by the following methods.
Method 1: Enter the IP address of the IP camera as the WAN IP on the NVR. Method 2: Congure the router to allow internal access to the public IP address and the mapped ports of the IP cameras.

3. The recording is not working properly.

a. Install the hard drive(s) correctly in the NVR.
b. Make sure each hard disk tray is correctly locked.
c. Check if the recording funcon is enabled on the Camera Conguraon page (the funcon is enabled by default). Make sure the IP address, the login name, and the password of the IP camera are correct.
d. If the above items are verified to work properly while the status LED ashes green, the hard drive may be damaged or cannot be detected. In this case, turn o the NVR and install a new hard disk. If the problem persists, please

contact the technical support.

Note: When the conguraons of the NVR are being updated, the recording will be stopped temporarily and restart again shortly.

4. I cannot login the administraon page of the NVR.

Please check if you have the administrator authority. Only administrators are allowed to login the NVR.

5. The live video is not clear or smooth somemes.

a. The image quality may be restricted and interfered by the network trac.
b. When there are mulple conncons to the IP camera or the NVR, the image quality will be reduced. It is recommended to allow only three simultaneous conncons to the monitoring page at maximum. For higher recording performance, do not open too many IE browsers to view the live video.
c. The same IP camera may be shared by mulple NVR servers for recording at the same me.

6. The alarm recording does not funcon.

a. Please login the NVR and go to 'Camera Setngs' > 'Alarm Sengs'. Make sure the alarm recording is enabled for the IP camera.
b. If the NVR is installed behind a router while the IP camera is not, the alarm recording will not work.
c. When the alarm recording is enabled, make sure the number of days that the alarm recordings will be retained have been specied in 'Camera Sengs' > 'Advanced Setngs'. Otherwise, the recordings may be overwrien.

7. The estimated storage space for recording displayed on the 'Recording Sengs' page is dierent from the actual value.

This esmated value is a reference value only. The actual disk space may vary according to the image contents, the network environment, and the performance of the IP cameras.

8. The E-map cannot be displayed correctly.

Please check the le format. The NVR supports E-map in JPEG only.

9. I cannot nd the NVR by the QNAP Finder.

a. Check if the NVR has been turned on.
b. Connect the local PC and the NVR to the same subnet.
c. Install the latest version of Finder from www.qnapsecurity.com.
d. Run Finder again to search for the NVR. Make sure all the rewall software on the computer have been turned o; or add the Finder to the list of allowed programs in the rewall.
e. If the NVR is not found, click 'Refresh' on the Finder to try again.
f. If the problem persists, contact the technical support.

10. The changes to the system configuraon did not take eect.

Aer changing the sengs on the administration page, click 'Apply' to apply the changes.

11. The monitoring page cannot be fully displayed in Internet Explorer.

When using the zooming funcon of Internet Explorer, the page may not be displayed properly. Please click F5 to refresh the page.

12. I cannot use the SMB, FTP, and Web File Manager services of the NVR.

a. Login the NVR as an administrator. Go to 'Network Sengs' > 'File Services' and check if these three funcons are enabled.
b. If the NVR is installed behind a router, the SMB and FTP services can only be accessed from the same subnet. Please refer to Appendix B for details.

13. The NVR takes too long to restart.

When the NVR takes more than 5 minutes to restart, turn o the power and turn on the server again. If the problem persists, please contact the technical support.

	IP address	Mapped port on the router
NVR	192.168.1.1	8000
Camera 1	192.168.1.101	8001
Camera 2	192.168.1.102	8002
Camera 3	192.168.1.103	8003
Router public IP	219.87.144.205
PC	10.8.10.100

To allow a remote PC to connect to the NVR and the IP cameras, do the following:

Step 1. Set up the port mapping (virtual server) on the router.

From	Forward to
219.87.144.205:8000	192.168.1.1:80
219.87.144.205:8001	192.168.1.101:80
219.87.144.205:8002	192.168.1.102:80
219.87.144.205:8003	192.168.1.103:80

Step 2. Add the IP camera to the NVR by entering the IP address of the IP camera in the 'IP Address' sengs. Enter the public IP address of the router and the mapped ports of the IP camera in the 'WAN IP Address' sengs.

Note: When conguring the IP camera, the WAN IP and LAN IP must be entered.

To open FTP (port 21) and SMB (port 445) of the NVR on WAN, congregate the following port mapping sengs:

From	Forward to
219.87.144.205:21	192.168.1.1:21
219.87.144.205:139	192.168.1.1:139
219.87.144.205:445	192.168.1.1:445

Aer nishing the above two steps, connect to the NVR on WAN by entering the IP address hp://219.87.144.205:8000 in the IE browser. Then login the NVR with the correct user name and password.

If the port specified to the NVR is 80, enter hp://219.87.144.205 to connect to the NVR.

Note: If the router does not use a xed IP, congure the DDNS sengs on the router. Other conguraons are the same as above.

Environment 3: The NVR and the IP camera are all located remotely

Camera 1	61.62.100.101
Camera 2	61.62.100.102
Camera 3	61.62.100.103

In this example, add the IP camera to the NVR by adding its IP address to the 'IP Address' sengs.

Note: If a parcular port is assigned to connect to the IP camera, specify the port in the system conguraon.

Environment 4: The NVR and the IP camera are installed behind the router

	IP address
NVR 1	192.168.1.101
NVR 2	192.168.1.102
NVR 3	192.168.1.103
Router public IP	219.87.145.205

In the example, to allow a remote PC to connect to each NVR by FTP, do the following:

Step 1. Set up the port mapping (virtual server) on the router

	From	Forward to
NVR 1	219.87.145.205:2001	192.168.1.101:21
NVR 2	219.87.145.205:2002	192.168.1.102:21
NVR 3	219.87.145.205:2003	192.168.1.103:21

Connect to NVR 1 by p://219.87.145.205:2001

Connect to NVR 2 by p://219.87.145.205:2002

Connect to NVR 3 by p://219.87.145.205:2003

Step 2. Enable FTP port mapping on the NVR

To connect to each NVR via FTP by clicking 'FTP' on the playback page of each NVR, enable FTP port mapping in 'Network Sengs' > 'File Services' on the system administraon page and set the mapped port number.

	Mapped port
NVR 1	2001
NVR 2	2002
NVR 3	2003

Aer nishing the above two steps, connect to the NVR via FTP by entering the IP address in the IE browser or clicking 'FTP' on the playback page. Then login the NVR by the correct user name and password.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright © 2007 Free Soware Foundaon, Inc.

Everyone is permied to copy and distribute verbam copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyle license for soware and other kinds of works.

The licenses for most soware and other praccal works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free soware for all its users. We, the Free Soware Foundaon, use the GNU General Public License for most of our soware; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free soware, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free soware (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the soware or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the soware, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gras or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show

them these terms so they know their rights.

Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the soware, and (2) oer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.

For the developers' and authors' protecon, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free soware. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be aributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.

Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the soware inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecng users' freedom to change the soware. The systemac paern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the pracce for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.

Finally, every program is threatened constantly by soware patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of soware on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it eecvely proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribuon and modicaon follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

0. Denions.

'This License' refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

'Copyright' also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.

'The Program' refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as 'you'. 'Licensees' and 'recipients' may be individuals or

organizaons.

To ‘modify’ a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a ‘modified version’ of the earlier work or a work ‘based on’ the earlier work.

A ‘covered work’ means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.

To ‘propagate’ a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except execung it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagaon includes copying, distribuon (with or without modicaon), making available to the public, and in some countries other advies as well.

To ‘convey’ a work means any kind of propagaon that enables other pares to make or receive copies. Mere interacon with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.

An interactive user interface displays ‘Appropriate Legal Noces’ to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright noce, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranes are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or opons, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.

1. Source Code.

The ‘source code’ for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modicaons to it. ‘Object code’ means any non-source form of a work.

A ‘Standard Interface’ means an interface that either is an ofcial standard dened by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.

The ‘System Libraries’ of an executable work include anything, other than the work

as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A 'Major Component', in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.

The ‘Corresponding Source’ for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those advies. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those advies but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface denion les associated with source les for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by inmate data communicaon or control ow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.

The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automacally from other parts of the Corresponding Source.

The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.

2. Basic Permissions.

All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly arms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.

You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without condions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modicaons exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you

do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direcon and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.

Conveying under any other circumstances is permied solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; secon 10 makes it unnecessary.

3. Protecng Users' Legal Rights From An-Circumvenon Law.

No covered work shall be deemed part of an eecve technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligaons under arcle 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restrictive circumvenon of such measures.

When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvenon of technological measures to the extent such circumvenon is elected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intenon to limit operaon or modicaon of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third pares' legal rights to forbid circumvenon of technological measures.

4. Conveying Verbam Copies.

You may convey verbam copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright noce; keep intact all noces stang that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with secon 7 apply to the code; keep intact all noces of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may oer support or warranty protecon for a fee.

5. Conveying Modied Source Versions.

You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modicaons to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of secon 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The work must carry prominent noces stang that you modified it, and giving a

relevant date.

b) The work must carry prominent noces stang that it is released under this License and any condions added under secon 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in secon 4 to 'keep intact all notices'.
c) You must license the enre work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable secon 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
d) If the work has interact user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Noces; however, if the Program has interact interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Noces, your work need not make them do so.

A compilaon of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribuon medium, is called an ‘aggregate’ if the compilaon and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilaon's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.

1. Conveying Non-Source Forms.

You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of seconds 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:

a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribuon medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source xed on a durable physical medium customarily used for soware interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribuon medium), accompanied by a wrien oer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you oer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the soware in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for soware interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.

c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written order to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternate is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an order, in accord with subsecond 6b.
d) Convey the object code by oering access from a designated place (gras or for a charge), and oer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a dierent server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear direcons next to the object code saying where to nd the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to sasfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being oered to the general public at no charge under subsecon 6d.

A separable poron of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.

A ‘User Product’ is either (1) a ‘consumer product’, which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporaon into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubul cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a parcular product received by a parcular user, ‘normally used’ refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the parcular user or of the way in which the parcular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.

'Installaon Informaon' for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorizaon keys, or other informaon required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The informaon must suce to ensure that the connued funconing of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modicaon has been made.

If you convey an object code work under this secon in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transacon in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a xed term (regardless of how the transacon is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this secon must be accompanied by the Installaon Informaon. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).

The requirement to provide Installaon Informaon does not include a requirement to connue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modicaon itself materially and adversely aects the operaon of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communicaon across the network.

Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installaon Informaon provided, in accord with this secon must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementaon available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.

7. Additional Terms.

'Additional permissions' are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the enre Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the enre Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.

When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your opon remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a

covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:

a) Disclaiming warranty or liming liability dierently from the terms of seconds 15 and 16 of this License; or
b) Requiring preservaon of specied reasonable legal noces or author aribuons in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Noces displayed by works containing it; or
c) Prohibing misrepresentaon of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as dierent from the original version; or
d) Liming the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
f) Requiring indemnicaon of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.

All other non-permissive additional terms are considered ‘further restricons’ within the meaning of secon 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a noce stang that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restricon, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restricon but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restricon does not survive such relicensing or conveying.

If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this secon, you must place, in the relevant source les, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those les, or a noce indicang where to nd the applicable terms.

Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as excepons; the above requirements apply either way.

8. Terminaon.

You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any aempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will

automacally terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of secon 11).

However, if you cease all violaon of this License, then your license from a parcular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and unl the copyright holder explicitly and nally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to nofy you of the violaon by some reasonable means prior to 60 days aer the cessaon.

Moreover, your license from a parcular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder noes you of the violaon by some reasonable means, this is the rst me you have received noce of violaon of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violaon prior to 30 days aer your receipt of the noce.

Terminaon of your rights under this secon does not terminate the licenses of pares who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under secon 10.

9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.

You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagaon of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These acons infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagang a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.

10. Automac Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

Each me you convey a covered work, the recipient automacally receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third pares with this License.

An ‘enty transacon’ is a transacon transferring control of an organizaon, or substanally all assets of one, or subdividing an organizaon, or merging organizaons. If propagaon of a covered work results from an enty transacon,

each party to that transacon who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable eorts.

You may not impose any further restricons on the exercise of the rights granted or armed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate ligaon (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, oering for sale, or imporng the Program or any poron of it.

11. Patents.

A ‘contributor’ is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's ‘contributor version’.

A contributor's ‘essenal patent claims’ are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereaer acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permied by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modicaon of the contributor version. For purposes of this denion, ‘control’ includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.

Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essenal patent claims, to make, use, sell, oer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.

In the following three paragraphs, a ‘patent license’ is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to pracce a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To ‘grant’ such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.

If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the

Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benet of the patent license for this parcular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. 'Knowingly relying' means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more idenable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.

If, pursuant to or in conneccon with a single transacon or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the pares receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specic copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.

A patent license is ‘discriminatory’ if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is condioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distribung soware, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your acvity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the pares who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in conncon with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in conncon with speci products or compilaons that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.

Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or liming any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.

12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.

If condions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the condions of this License, they do not excuse you from the

conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to sasfy simultaneously your obligaons under this License and any other pernent obligaons, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could sasfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain enrely from conveying the Program.

13. Use with the GNU Aero General Public License.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Aero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will connue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Aero General Public License, secon 13, concerning interacon through a network will apply to the combinaon as such.

14. Revised Versions of this License.

The Free Soware Foundaon may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from me to me. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a disguishing version number. If the Program species that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License ‘or any later version’ applies to it, you have the opon of following the terms and condions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Soware Foundaon. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Soware Foundaon.

If the Program species that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.

Later license versions may give you additional or dierent permissions. However, no additional obligaons are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
