Introduction

Product Overview

ACTi ENR-100 Series (hereafter referred to as ENR) is a compact and reliable multi-channel standalone NVR. It features a stable embedded Linux operating system and capabilities of supporting mega-pixel resolution H.264 streaming, an HDMI output for local display, PTZ control, scheduled / event-triggered / event speed-up recording, event management, synchronized playback, time / event-based playback search and video bookmarks. Its smart Setup Wizard and intuitive user interface allow the system installer to enjoy effortless installation experience, while making it easy for new users to get acquainted with the operation by first-time use. Other than the local client, the remote PC client may access the ENR system simultaneously, and experience user-friendly web interface customized for browser-based operations.

ENR Server / Client Architecture

In a video surveillance system architecture, ENR serves as service provider, aimed to run 24/7 non-stop a video management service for clients. An ENR Client makes requests for monitoring video streams or playing back recordings of ENR.

There are two types of ENR clients: Local Client and Remote Client. A client, connecting from whether a remote computer or from local, will be offered the same functionalities of ENR.

- Local Client: In the local site, the client user directly operates ENR by connecting an HDMI monitor and a USB mouse to the physical ENR.

- Remote Client: Over the TCP/IP network, the Remote Client communicates with ENR through HTTP Protocol. This client user will have to use a computer with Internet Explorer to access the ENR web interface, without the need of installing any client program beforehand. Logging in to ENR is as simple as visiting a website.

Remote Client PC Requirements

As ENR itself is a self-contained unit, the table below provides basic guidelines only for selecting proper hardware for the remote PC client. If your live view display quality is not satisfactory, please consider computers with more advanced spec as the decoding of multiple channels requires good hardware for smooth performance (*1).

PC Spec (*2)	Minimum Requirements
CPU Processor	Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66 GHz
RAM	4GB (*3)
Network	Ethernet (1000 Base-T recommended)
Operating System	Windows 7 and Windows 8(All versions) (*4)
Display Resolution	1080p
Browser	Internet Explorer 9.0 or 10.0

*1 The quality of video display performance lies not only in the hardware but a few variables. Please refer to Error! Reference source not found. on page Error! Bookmark not defined. for instructions on how to achieve ideal video performance.
*2 PC spec requirements are the same for 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
*3 Microsoft Windows operating system has limits on memory and address space, regardless of the real or virtual memory available on a particular computer. Please use 64-bit system if your computer has more than 4GB RAM.
*4 Please make sure your operating system is fully patched with the latest service packs.

Supported Video Format

As 1080p HDMI monitors have become the most extensive display standard used in various applications, ENR is designed to conform to this standard with its capability of outputting 1080p video stream. Therefore, to reserve as much computing power for ENR unit as possible, up to four-megapixel H.264 video stream can be displayed on local live screen and local playback screen.

With a client computer, you may still acquire full support for displaying these types of video codec – MPEG4, MJPEG and H.264, and up to ten- megapixel video resolution from web client interface; also, the video stream is recorded at your desired format regardless of the displayed quality.

	Camera Management Export / Recording	Local Live View / Playback	Remote Live View / Playback
Codec	MPEG4 MJPEG H.264 (*1)	H.264 (*2)	MPEG4 MJPEG H.264
Resolution	Up to 10M pixels	Up to 4M pixels (*3)	Up to 10M pixels

*1 ENR's "Auto Add" function will only add H.264 video streams.
*2 H.264 is the only displayable codec for local live view and playback. The channels using other codec will appear blank, although the recording is proceeding normally.
*3 ENR local live and playback can display up to four-megapixel resolution video. The channels using higher resolution video stream will appear blank, although the recording is proceeding normally.

Network Connection Architecture

When connecting ENR with your network, please make sure you plug the network cable into the right port.

ENR-110/120/130

LAN 1 Port (Camera Port)

Default: 192.168.0.10

LAN 2 Port (WAN Port)

Default: Dynamic /192.168.1.10

ENR-140

LAN 1 Port (Camera Port)

Default: 192.168.0.10

LAN 2 Port (WAN Port)

Default: Dynamic /192.168.1.10

LAN 1 Port

LAN 1 port is the default camera port for a typical local network. Via this port, the DHCP server built in ENR automatically assigns IP addresses to network cameras once they are connected. With this feature, you do not have to bother arranging the camera IP addresses on your own. By default, this DHCP server is enabled, so please avoid connecting ENR to a network where exits another DHCP server via this port.

Connection Setting Example 1

Below diagram displays an example connection setting using only LAN1 to connect networks cameras.

In this setting, ENR altogether with cameras are within the same network segment; in the mean time, there is no need of referencing another DHCP server in this system.

ENR-110/120/130

ENR-140

LAN 2 Port

LAN2 port is a typical Ethernet port. You will have to use this port to connect with a different network segment when your system requires (1) the connection with a remote PC client or network cameras, (2) the use of event-triggered e-mail service via an external SMTP server (3) the use of date/time synchronization with external NTP server.

By default, once connecting to a network, it will first try to get an IP address assigned by your network router from DHCP server. If your network does not assign IP address automatically, then LAN2 port will assume IP address 192.168.1.10.

Connection Setting Example 2

The diagram below displays an example connection setting using LAN1 + LAN2 to connect networks cameras within different network segments.

In this setting, ENR with three cameras are within the same network segment, while there is another camera locating in another network. In addition, this system requires the connection with an external SMTP server and a remote client.

(B) Fine-tune the Image: Brightness/Contrast/Saturation/Hue

Not only clarity but also brightness, contrast, saturation and hue are essential factors to make images closer to real scene. For cameras that support these configurations, you may directly modify them and save via ENR interface.

After selecting a camera, click "Video Adjustment" window, the fields available for modification (depends on models) will be enabled. Select the desired value for the field, and click "Apply".

Field Name	Description
Brightness(1-100)	Defines how much portion of light and of dark appear in the image. As the value increases, the image appears brighter, and vice versa.
Contrast(1-100)	Defines the range level between light values and dark values. As the value increases, the separation between light and dark becomes more obvious.
Saturation(1-100)	Defines the level of the actual color intensity. As it increases, colors appear more pure; as it decreases, colors appear more gray-out.
Hue(1-100)	It is the term used to refer to the pure spectrum colors. Adjust this value to find the color closest to the real scene.
LineFrequency(50Hz / 60 Hz)	The function that adjusts the shutter speed options to match the frequencies of artificial light source of given country. For example, in Europe, the light frequency is 50Hz (due to power supply frequency of lights), that is 50 flashes per second. By setting line frequency to 50Hz in such case, the shutter speed options will be proportional with light source frequency, such as 1/25s, 1/50s, 1/100s, etc. It is necessary to have the camera's line frequency adjusted according to the power frequency of the light source to avoid flickering effect.

(C) Motion Settings

Disk Management

ENR keeps the recordings on SATA hard disks installed in it. Whenever recording is taking place, ENR writes data to one of the disks, and switch to the other as the original one is full. Once the available space of the whole system is less than the reserved size, ENR will start deleting the oldest file to make the amount of space allowing each active channel to record for another 10 minutes.

You may observe the disk memory and recording status on Storage page.

On Live screen, click Setup → click System tab → click "Storage". The connected storage devices will be shown in the Storage Device list. Select a storage device to check its Storage Information appearing as below.

Storage Device Types

● SATA1 represents the disk installed in upper bay for saving recordings.
● SATA2 represents the disk installed in lower bay for saving recordings.
● Storage Media represents the connected USB disk that you inserted for carrying firmware image file, backup file, exported system log file, snapshots or video.

Format Hard Disks

Any newly-installed hard disk has to be formatted into ENR file system format. Click "Format" to start formatting a new disk. After formatting, this disk will become ready for recording.

During normal operation, DO NOT REMOVE ANY DISK FROM THIS UNIT, or it might cause damage to the disks. You can only remove or install a disk when the device is shut down.

Please note that the system will stop recording during the disk formation.

Storage Settings - Set Recording Deletion Rule

In ENR system, there are two file-deletion mechanisms:

1. User defined - Maximum Recording Days

ENR can keep recording files for a certain number of days defined by you. Set this rule if you have more concern about how long the recordings are kept, especially when you do not want the old recordings to stay longer in the system than a certain period. By default, this rule is not activated, to modify it, check the box to input a number between 1\~999 and click "Apply".

2. Default - Automatic Disk Deletion

This is the default file deletion rule. When the total recordable disk space is full, an amount of disk space for approximate ten-minute long recording will be cleared to save new recordings.

If you activate the “Maximum Recording Days” rule, either of the thresholds reached earlier will execute the deletion first. Given that you set the Maximum Recording Days as 5 days, the recording files that stay on the disks longer than this period will be deleted, despite that there is still plenty of available disk space; on the other hand, if your disk space is not enough to keep all the recordings for 5 days, ENR will still delete the oldest files whenever the space is full.

Before setting up the rules, you can make use of a handy storage calculator provided by ACTi to find out the estimated storage your system requires: http://www.acti.com/project_planner

Also, be careful when you apply the Maximum Recording Days setting, for ENR will execute the deletion rule immediately whenever you click "Apply", meaning that the all the recording files kept longer than the last applied number of maximum days are just deleted in no time.

Check Disk Status

Hard disk failure often comes after detectable signs and thus can be predicable, thus it is important to detect these signs long before they really cause disk failures.

ENR performs S.M.A.R.T. Disk check on 24-hour basis since last check. This technology enables a system to monitor the disk status and anticipate disk failures, helping the system administrator to prevent from unexpected outage and data loss.

You may manually perform an instant S.M.A.R.T check by clicking "Refresh".

Once the disk a appears in "WARNING", "FAILED", or "UNKNOWN" status, it is not reliable for recording, and may fail when the number of bad sectors on the disk has grown high enough.

S.M.A.R.T Status	Description	Solution
PASSED	This disk is in normal condition.	--
WARNING	Certain error has been found on this disk.	1.On “Storage” page, select the disk and click “Disable” next to Recordable status to stop the system from saving recording into it.2.Watch playback and export important video / system log.
FAILED	A number of errors have been found on this disk.
UNKNOWN	Unable to get the disk information.

Manage Abnormal Disks

A disk that is not recognized as "PASSED" by S.M.A.R.T. check may have unexpected failures anytime. However, it will still continue recording until it finally fails.

After you disabled the recording on this disk and review important recordings,

1. Turn off the device.

2. Replace the abnormal disk with a new one, and turn on the device.

3. Go to Live screen, click Setup → click Maintenance tab → click "Storage", and click "Format" to format the new disk.

Schedule Recordings

Unlike the traditional analog surveillance system, the IP surveillance system provides a target-oriented recording schedule for devices; the view of each device can be recorded based on your required time segments and event types. For example, you may have a camera installed on the office ceiling do continuous recording during work hours, and record only upon the triggers (incidents that detected by system) at night. In this way, the system does not waste disk space storing meaningless parts, and you save lots of effort browsing playback for specific events.

For the recording schedule, ENR supports Schedule recording, Event recording and Event Speed-up Recording modes, which are set up on a week-based timetable; the event-handling schedule is configured here.

On ENR, you can configure camera's recording schedule on 7 days / 24 hours basis. The schedule is split into segments of one-hour-length. By default, once a device is added to the system, its schedule is automatically set to full-time schedule recording and event handling. You should configure it according to your system plan.

On Live screen → Select Setup → click "Schedule" tab and select one channel.

Event-Recording File Length

Before setting the recording schedule, you may define the length of an event recording. To do this, configure the following properties shown as below, which will make an event recording as long as 10+30 second:

Field	Description
Pre-event Recording Buffer (sec):	ENR keeps a short cache of video received from devices. If an event is triggered, ENR will automatically store the pre-event buffer along with the recording of the event itself.
Post-event Recording Buffer (sec):	This will determine how long after the event is triggered should be included in the event recording file.

Set the Recording Schedule

On the time table

1. Click on the recording mode from

Field	Description
Full-Time Recording	Continuously record at the video frame rate you define in Camera Settings.
Event Speed Up Recording	Continuously record everything at 1FPS, when an event occurs, the frame rate will switch to the value you define in Camera Settings, and automatically switch back to 1FPS after the event ends.
Event Recording	Only events are recorded, at the video frame rate you define in Camera Settings.

1. Click and drag over the "Time Track" to set time period.

1. Click "Save".

Set the Event Schedule

The Event Schedule defines when the event handling is activated. To set the event rules, please refer to Set Event Rules on page 68.

on page 68 for Event Rules settings. By default, the event handling is full-time activated; you may disable it during certain time period.

1. Click on the recording mode "No Event Handling".
2. Click and drag over the "Time Track" to set time period.
3. Click "Save".

Copy Schedule

You may copy a camera's schedule setting to other multiple cameras. This saves much your time on configuring the schedules camera by camera.

1. On Schedule tab, select a source camera from camera list, its schedule will be copied to others.
2. Click "Copy"
3. On Copy Schedule window, select the target cameras.
4. Click "Copy" on Copy Schedule window.

Event Management

When something happens on camera site, such as someone walks by, the door opens or a fire breaks out – these are all Events. The event which occurs in the environment and was pre-programmed in the camera serves as Triggers. Triggers cause the device to react with

Responses. The link between trigger and response is governed by Event Rules. Each event rule detects one specific trigger and may initiate multiple responses. An example rule would be for ENR to send an e-mail to alert the manager (Response 1) and trigger the alarm (Response 2) when motion on camera site is detected (Trigger) during the event handing active period (Schedule).

Each device can be involved in several event rules. As different camera models possess various capabilities, the supported response types would vary. For example, a PTZ camera can execute a go-to preset point response, while this option is not available for other models without this feature.

Event-Handling Schedule

Event rules become active or inactive based upon a weekly schedule, to enable event-handling service, you will have to make sure the event-handling schedule of certain device is well configured. By default, the event-handling schedule of each camera is enabled for 24 hours once it is added to ENR system.

To configure the Event Handling Schedule, on Live screen, click Setup → click "Schedule", select the camera, and drag on the 24-hour time table.

Set Event Rules

On Live screen, click Setup → click Event tab → select a camera.

Configure Fisheye Cameras

With hemispherical lenses, fisheye cameras generate images at up to 360-degree width, which can cover all four corners of a room or both sides of a long aisle. As the original image captured by wide-angle lens is much distorted, to suit most monitoring purposes, the Dewarping process is required to alter the uneven lines and shapes before the images are displayed. Nowadays, the fisheye cameras come in two types in terms of the image-correction capability:

- Fisheye Cameras with in-camera dewarping function The dewarping takes places in camera before the video is output to NVR server. Since the image correction counts on the camera itself, NVR server will not bear much extra loading, which benefits the system requiring many of these fisheye cameras (e.g. ACTi KCM-3911, KCM-7911)

- Fisheye Cameras without dewarping function These fisheye cameras output only original global images, relying on software algorithm processing provided by NVR sever to correct the images. They are suitable for a system with limited bandwidth, for NVR server processes and responds to User's ePTZ manipulation or demands for changing view modes immediately, without waiting for camera side to deliver a new frame (e.g. ACTi E96).

ENR's software algorithm can perfectly corrects the original fisheye images, generating 6 specific fisheye view modes from User's usual perspective. As a remote client, you may

- Select a desired fisheye view mode on Live screen and manipulate virtualized ePTZ operation with onscreen controls.

● Export the video clip of your desired fisheye view mode.

To make use of ENR's dewarping features for your fisheye cameras, please

1. Adjust Video Quality Settings

After the fisheye camera is successfully added, go to Setup page →Cameras tab, select the device and then click "Get Camera Settings", make sure you set the Stream Mode as "FISHEYE" for a hemispheric camera (KCM-3911, KCM-7911). This is to make sure this hemispheric camera is outputting fisheye original video stream as a mini fisheye dome camera does.

2. Adjust Fisheye Display Settings

Select your Mounting Type, and then Default Fisheye Mode. For a fisheye mode containing panorama view, you may want to configure the Default Rotate X (width of view) and Default Rotate Y (height of view) configurations.

Fisheye Mode	Description		PTZ Navigation
Original View	The very raw fisheye view		Digital PTZ
Dewarping	One large user-defined cropped area		ePTZ
Panorama	360-degree panorama view for ceiling mount180-degree panorama view for wall mount		Digital PTZ
Double Panorama	Two 180-degree panorama views		Digital PTZ

Panorama /Focus	One panorama viewTwo small user-defined cropped regions	ePTZ
Quad	Four small user-defined cropped regions	ePTZ

After the configuration is done, remember to click "Save" to save the settings.

Note

1. Local Live and Playback can only display the original video stream output from a fisheye camera.
2. Whichever fisheye view mode you are watching on remote interface, ENR will record the original video stream output from a fisheye camera; however, you may export the video in any desired view mode.

Set Recording Schedule

For the recording schedule, ENR supports Schedule recording, Event recording and Event Speed-up Recording modes, which are set up on a week-based timetable; the event-handling schedule is configured here.

On ENR, you can configure camera's recording schedule on 7 days / 24 hours basis. The schedule is split into segments of one-hour-length. By default, once a device is added to the system, its schedule is automatically set to full-time schedule recording and event handling. You should configure it according to your system plan.

Go to Setup page → Schedule tab, and select a camera to configure its recording schedule.

Event-Recording File Length

Before setting the recording schedule, you may define the length of an event recording. To do this, configure the following properties shown as below, which will make an event recording as long as 10+30 second:

Pre-Event Buffer(sec) 10 Post-Event Buffer(sec) 30

Field	Description
Pre-event Recording Buffer (sec):	ENR keeps a short cache of video received from devices. If an event is triggered, ENR will automatically store the pre-event buffer along with the recording of the event itself.
Post-event Recording Buffer (sec):	This will determine how long after the event is triggered should be included in the event recording file.

Set the Recording Schedule

1. Select a recording type.

Recording Schedule ○ Full-Time Recording ○ Event Recording ● Event Speed Up Recording

Field	Description

Disk Management

ENR keeps the recordings on SATA hard disks installed in it. Whenever recording is taking place, ENR writes data to one of the disks, and switch to the other as the original one is full. Once the available space of the whole system is less than the reserved size, ENR will start deleting the oldest file to make the amount of space allowing each active channel to record for another 10 minutes.

You may observe the disk memory and recording status on Storage page.

Go to Setup page → System tab → Storage. The connected storage devices will be shown in the Storage Device list.

Format Hard Disks

Select a disk and click "Format".

You may execute disk formatting toward a newly-installed disk. You should follow the installation procedures (refer to Install the Hard Disks on page 22) to format the disks before ENR system start carrying out the surveillance task, for a disk that is not in ENR file system format is not ready for recording. Please note that the system will stop recording during the disk formation.

If you have to format a disk having been recording for a while, it is suggested that you export important video and system log in advance.

Set Maximum Recording Days

ENR can keep recording files for a certain number of days defined by you. Set this rule if you have more concern about how long the recordings are kept, especially when you do not want the old recordings to stay longer in the system than a certain period. By default, this rule is not activated, to modify it, check the box to input a number between 1\~999 and click "Apply".

For more deletion rules explanation, please refer to Storage Settings - Set Recording Deletion Rule on page 61.

Check Disk Status

Hard disk failure often comes after detectable signs and thus can be predicable, thus it is important to detect these signs long before they really cause disk failures.

ENR performs S.M.A.R.T. Disk check on 24-hour basis since last check. This technology enables a system to monitor the disk status and anticipate disk failures, helping the system administrator to prevent from unexpected outage and data loss.

You may manually perform an instant S.M.A.R.T check by clicking "Refresh".

Once the S.M.A.R.T status of disk appears "WARNING", "FAILED", or "UNKNOWN" instead of "PASSED", it is not reliable for recording, and may fail when the number of bad sectors on the disk has grown high enough. Please

1. Click "Disable" next to Recordable status to stop the system from saving recording into it.
2. Immediately export important video and system log, and then replace the disk following the instructions Manage Abnormal Disks on page 63.
