The Setup options allow you to optimize your DVR by adjusting things like camera names, reboot schedules, recording schedules and more. It is extremely important that you setup your DVR correctly for several reasons.

• Recording Schedules – By optimizing the recording schedule you can increase the amount of pertinent recorded video that is saved on the DVR and keep it longer. You can optimize the type of recording done by adding motion detection to this as well, again increasing the amount of useful video.
• DVR Access – By setting up the access passwords you can tightly control the types of access an individual may have. This ensures the security and integrity of the DVR.
• Camera Naming – By naming each camera you can easily identify the location and any other pertinent information that may be helpful simply by viewing it on the Video Display Area.

Setting Up DDNS

Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) is a service that provides a static address to simplify remote connection to the DVR. This service is most useful for installations where the WAN (public) IP address is dynamic (changes from time to time). Most public IP addresses are dynamic unless a static address has been specifically ordered from the internet service provider.

Enable DDNS

To enable this functionality of the DVR, follow the steps below:

1. Click Setup on the Display screen and log in as Administrator if prompted.
2. Click Administrative.
3. Click Program Management (Etc) and enter the Administrator password when prompted.
4. Click Show to the right of The agent program for DDNS.
5. Select the Enable DDNS check box.
6. Enter the ID, Password, and Hostname specified on the DDNS document shipped with your DVR.

Note Ensure the DVR has an IP address by setting it statically. The Network settings may need to be changed. If you are not sure of the correct values, contact the individual or department responsible for network administration at the site.

Set the IP Address

To set the IP address of the DVR, follow the steps below:

1. On the Display screen, click Exit and choose Restart in Windows Mode.
2. Right-click My Network Places and click Properties.
3. On the General tab, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Properties.
4. Select Use the following IP address.
5. Enter the following values (or as specified by the department responsible for network administration).

a. IP Address: The first three sets of numbers should match the router's local IP address and the last set should be a unique number between 1-254.
b. Subnet Mask: This should match the router's setting (commonly 255.255.255.0 for 192.X addresses and 255.0.0.0 for 10.X addresses).
c. Default Gateway: This is the router's internal IP address. Once DDNS is configured, the router the DVR connects to will need to be configured to forward ports 80 and 4000 to the IP address of the DVR.

For further instruction on this process, visit http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm

Select the correct model of router, and follow the instructions. Once DDNS and port forwarding have been configured, the DVR will be accessible from any remote site by entering the HOSTNAME into the address bar of Internet Explorer or the IP Address field in the Remote Software.

User Management

The User Management Console allows the administrator to create, edit, and delete user accounts. Each user account can be assigned different privileges to limit the usage of the DVR system. Users can be given administrator privileges by enabling all rights, however only the true administrator account can log into the User Management Console.

PREVIEW SEARCH

Preview Search can be used in a number of circumstances to quickly find an exact moment where an event, such as a theft, occurred. The Preview Search gives a 24 Hour visual overview of a single camera by separating a 24 hour period (1 day) into 24 images, one image for each hour of the day. The search can then be further narrowed down into ten minute increments and one minute increments by selecting one of the images displayed.

These example images show how the Preview Search functions.

The first screen that appears has 24 images displayed. Each image represents the first second of each hour. If there is no image recorded during that period then nothing will be displayed.

When an hour is selected (by double-clicking on the image), a new screen appears with 6 images. Each of these images represents a 10 minute segment of video within the selected hour.

Once a 10 minute segment is selected (by double-clicking on the image) the final screen appears which breaks down that 10 minute segment into 1 minute increments (10 images).

  • Saving Video from a Single Camera
  • Scheduling Regular Video Backup

BACKUP OVERVIEW

The Backup Center allows you to back up recorded video data from multiple dates and times to one or more locations including the DVD-RW drive, Network Storage Locations, and External Hard Drives.

The DVR can easily backup important video data to an internal or external media location. The most commonly used forms of this are CD-R/RWs, External USB or FireWire Hard Drives, and Network Drives. Every DVR comes equipped with a DVD-RW drive, USB port, and Network Adapter.

The DVR is capable of performing a backup to multiple CD/DVDs when the file sizes exceed the capacity of a single disk. You may also specify multiple locations for backup as well as the order they are recorded to.

The DVR backs up video data using a proprietary compression format that can only be read by the DVR Backup Program. This ensures the integrity of the data.

Throughout the backup process the DVR will continue recording without interruption. This is the result of the tremendous multiplexing power of the DVR, which allows it to perform virtually all functions without disrupting the recording process.

Nero® Express

The DVR uses Windows ^ XP ^ Embedded running Nero ^ Express 7.0 to write data to the DVD-RW Drive. This solution allows the DVR software to read and write data to the DVD-RW Drive without formatting the disk first.

CAUTION: Although many features are available within Nero, it is highly recommended that you do NOT use any features other than those necessary for the standard backup of video data as outlined in this section, loss of information or software instability may result.

General Screen Overview

LAN / ISDN / PSTN CONNECTIONS

This chapter includes the following information:

• Overview
• Configuring TCP/IP Settings
• Connecting to a LAN
  • LAN / ISDN / PSTN Connections

LAN OVERVIEW

The DVR can be easily connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) and uses Microsoft's® powerful and secure Windows® XP Embedded operating system. This allows for easy and well-documented instructions on setting up LAN connections no matter what type of LAN you want to use.

A LAN is a group of computers and other devices dispersed over a relatively limited area and connected by a communications link that allows one device to interact with any other on the network.

There are many reasons why using Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded is superior to other platforms when running on a LAN. The number one reason is security. Windows XP Embedded is based on NT technology, which, historically has boasted the most reliable and secure Operating System in the world. Running the DVR on a secure network is important to prevent unwanted users from gaining access to confidential information. Unwanted users can compromise the integrity of the confidential data being stored and viewed, and in extreme circumstances can cause irreparable damage to the network.

Since connecting the DVR to a network can be extremely complex (depending on the network), this Surveillix DVR manual will cover only the basics. It is suggested that the DVR administrator consult the Vendor or IT Administrator before attempting to create or connect to a LAN.

CONNECTING TO A LAN USING TCP/IP

The networking options of the DVR can create and edit all Network settings available on Windows XP Embedded. The DVR comes equipped with a 10/100 Network Interface Card (NIC). This card uses a standard RJ-45 connector.

Configuring TCP/IP Settings

1. On the Display screen, click Exit and select Restart in Windows Mode.
2. Right-click the My Network Places icon located on the desktop and select Properties.
3. Right-click Local Area Connections and select Properties.
4. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) by clicking on it once. Once it is highlighted, click Properties.
5. Select Use the Following IP Address option. Enter the IP Address and Subnet mask appropriate for the network. It is recommended to contact the Network Administrator for appropriate IP settings.

Example: a. Common IP addresses are 10.0.0.25

b. Common Subnet masks are 255.255.255.0

Note In order to connect to the DVR through a remote LAN connection, a static IP address must be assigned. If the network assigns the IP address automatically (DHCP), contact the Network Administrator for help assigning a static IP address.

1. If the network requires you to specify the DNS information, enter it now by selecting the appropriate DNS options.
2. When finished configuring the TCP/IP settings click OK to close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window.
3. Click OK to close the Local Area Connection Properties window.
4. It may be required to restart Windows for the changes to take effect. Restart windows by clicking START on the desktop and clicking Restart.

REMOTE SOFTWARE OVERVIEW

The DVR was specifically designed to be fully operated and maintained remotely. It connects using the standard TCP/IP protocol thorough connection types such as DSL, Cable Mode, T1, ISDN, 56K Modem, LAN, and more. The Surveillix Remote software allows you to view live video, search through archived video, export images and video clips and have virtually full Setup control. Surveillix Remote Software is Microsoft Vista® compatible.

Highlights:

Search archived video

View live video

Export images and video clips

Control relay outputs

Setup administration

Basics:

The DVR can have up to 5 simultaneous remote connections. Each user can perform functions on the DVR and will not affect the other users. The only exceptions to this are accessing Setup and controlling a PTZ camera. Only one user is allowed to access setup or control a PTZ camera at any given time. The pictures per second passed to the Remote Client vary greatly depending on the connection type and speed.

In order to log in to the DVR server, a user account must be made for the user. This ensures that only authorized personnel are allowed to log in. In addition, each user can be assigned different privileges that allow them or deny them access to different functions. For example, a user can be denied Searching and Setup privileges and only granted access to view cameras 4, 8 and 16.

It is highly recommended that users not be granted Setup privileges since this can pose a security risk. Only properly authorized Administrators should have access to Setup.

The Remote software operates virtually the same way as the DVR itself. The appearance of it matches the DVR almost identically; however, there are a few minor differences. Some search features are not available (such as the Index and Object Searches) as well as some Setup options.

Remote Software Setup

Installing Remote Software

1. On the client computer, insert the Surveillix Software CD into the CD-ROM. The CD should play automatically.

SCS OVERVIEW

SCS software is Network DVR Management Software; a powerful utility that allows 100 or more DVRs to be controlled using one computer. This software allows you to view live video, search saved video, edit and configure setup on each DVR, and import maps of buildings and other locations.

The SCS software was specifically designed as an enterprise software solution.

Highlights:

View Live Video from most computers

Username and Password protected

Easy to use graphical interface

Basics:

In order to log in to the DVR server, a user account must be made for each user. This ensures that only authorized personnel are allowed to log in. In addition, each user can be assigned different privileges that allow them or deny them access to different functions.

Configuring the Server for Remote Connection

1. Enter Setup on the DVR.

2. Click the Network Setup Button.

3. Uncheck the Disable Remote Control option. You should now be allowed to adjust port settings if necessary.

NOTE: If you are using a Firewall, it may be necessary to adjust the port settings on both the DVR and the Firewall. Contact the Network Administrator for more information.

1. Click OK.

2. Make sure a user account is created. Without a user account, the Administrator account must be used.

3. The DVR server is now ready to receive incoming connections.
