Introduction
Product Overview
ACTi ENR-1000 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).
*1 The quality of video display performance lies not only in the hardware but a few variables.
Please refer to Video Display Performance on page 13 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.

Video Display Performance
On a live or playback screen, ENR handles displayed video based on the combination of the
following factors, which you should put into consideration when configuring your view layout:
(1) The number of channels of your current layout
(2) The format of video stream, e.g. resolution and frame rate.
To balance the loading of the system, ENR will decode only I frames (*1) for live view when
CPU usage is critical. The video stream is still recorded at its original frame rate regardless
of the display quality.
To acquire good video display quality, however, it is suggested that you try to use the layout
containing just enough channels, or make use of Sequence Patrol function.
Local Live View / Playback
On local display, ENR determines when to enter Decode-I mode according to these key
references – (1) your selection of Layout and (2) the Video Resolution. A layout consisting
of more channels and high-resolution streams are considered more CPU consuming, which
is more likely to trigger Decode-I mode. Take ENR-1100 for example, by switching the live
screen layout from 4x4 style (16 channels) to Quad style (4 channels), the video quality will
appear much smoother.
On a local live or playback screen, try to meet the conditions below for ideal video display
quality(12~30 FPS); otherwise, ENR will decode only I-frames for each channel.
(*1) A video sequence is composed of a series of GOP (Group of Pictures). Among these
(*2) ENR-1200 and ENR-2000 will automatically turn all channels into Decode-I Mode
pictures, I-frame (Intra-coded picture) is a fully specified picture with complete image
information, while P-frame and B-frame hold only partial image information.
when the number of layout channels exceeds 8.

Whenever the CPU loading exceeds
80%, random channels will start to
decode I frame for about 15 seconds,
and then return to original frame rate
later. This process will continue until
●The CPU loading drops under 80%
●User switches to another layout or
page
(*3) ENR-1200 and ENR-2000 will automatically turn a channel into Decode-I Mode when
its video resolution is above 1280 x 720 pixels.
Remote Live View
Aside from user’s behaviors, the hardware specifications of each remote client computer
will affect the live display quality. ENR system will observe the outcome of all the variables
(such as dynamic CPU loading) to make adaptations.
For live display, you may select a desired display mode to suit your system condition. On
remote live screen interface, click “Application” and select “Decode I-frame” or “Auto
Drop Frame”.
You can adopt Decode I-frame mode or Auto Drop Frame mode based on your client PC
condition:
Remote Playback
Up to 4-channel synchronized playback is allowed on a remote client’s screen.

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 conserver as much computing power for ENR unit as
possible, only up to two-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.
*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 two-megapixel resolution video. The
channels using higher resolution video stream will appear blank, though the recording is
proceeding normally.

Dynamic /192.168.1.10
192.168.0.101 ~ 192.168.0.104
LAN 1: 192.168.0.10
Network Connection Architecture
When connecting ENR with your network, please make sure you plug the network cable into
the right port.
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
The diagram below displays a connection setting example 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.

LAN1: 192.168.0.10
(EX:172.16.26.101)
LAN2: DHCP client
(EX:172.16.26.100)
(EX:192.168.0.101 ~ 192.168.0.103)
SMTP Server
Remote PC Client
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 a connection setting example 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.
You may check and modify the network configurations by going to Live screen select
“Setup” click Network tab. (For detailed configuration instructions, please refer to Network
Settings on page 52).
