ENR-100 Series System Administrator’s Manual
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).
*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.
*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.

Installation
The installation procedures may vary depending on your site conditions. The procedures
provided in this manual are based on an example consisting of (1) local network, (2) an ENR
unit, (3) ACTi network cameras, (4) a POE network switch and (5) necessary peripherals.
Prepare the Devices
Before starting connecting all the devices together, please read the instructions below to
make sure your devices are ready for ENR system.
Cameras
ENR is able to automatically add the connected cameras then immediately displays their live
streams without your further configurations. Please fulfill the conditions below to make sure
your cameras are ready for ENR Auto Add function:
1. For a camera whose settings have been changed from factory default, make sure
its output stream is H.264 encoder type,
2. The camera’s connection type is Dynamic mode (DHCP Client). You can configure the
this connection settings via Web Configurator.
If your camera is an other brand’s product or you would like to add more streams from a
device, use Search Cameras provided by Camera Setup Wizard.
20
www.acti.com
ENR-100 Series System Administrator’s Manual
Note
Since ENR displays only H.264 stream on local display, any device outputting non-H.264
stream will still be added to ENR system and viewed via the web client interface, while
this channel will appear blank on local monitor.
Monitor
The monitor should supports HDMI port and 1080p full HD resolution display.
USB Devices
Please use a USB mouse, keyboard or joystick with a cable.
USB Storage Device
The USB storage device is required for system backup and system log / snapshot / video
export.
ENR supports all FAT/FAT32/EXT2/EXT3/EXT4/NTFS file systems.
Hard Disks

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
ENR-140
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.
26

LAN 1: 192.168.0.10
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.

SMTP Server
Remote PC Client
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.
