Introduction
What is the…
DV-IP NV8 ?
The DV-IP NV8 is the agship product in the DV-IP Range, offering real-time, full resolution
recording on all connected cameras – be they analogue or NetVu Connected IP via remote codec.
An internal switch delivers high bandwidth video streams enabling 300Mbps of high denition
streaming video for display when using 2 connected HDMI monitors. The DV-IP NV8s embedded
real-time operating system (RTOS) has been designed from the ground up to specically meet the
needs of security applications.
Closed IPTV
Dedicated Micros’ ground breaking Closed IPTV solution makes deploying an IP Video, CCTV
system safe, secure and simple. Combining patent-pending innovation with zeroconf networking
technology, Closed IPTV automatically allocates IP addresses to IP cameras by physical port. In
this way the system is completely deterministic, creating rewalls and monitoring IP connections
by individual network ports so they cannot be hacked or intercepted. This ground breaking solution
provides a very simple and secure answer to IP Video, meaning that no prior knowledge of IP
networking is required. Sophisticated and Dependable network security can be achieved with a
single click.
Leverage the powerful embedded NVR within the DV-IP NV8 to incrementally grow your camera
estate. Combine your existing installed analogue cameras with secure IP and HD cameras from a
Closed IPTV system. Up to 32 camera streams can be connected enabling analogue and secure
IP cameras to be shown together seamlessly. All that is required to take the next leap in video
surveillance technology is Dedicated Micros unique Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch and NetVu
Connected IP cameras.
The latest generation DV-IP NV8 includes powerful new codecs and the Turbo Mode feature that
ensures maximum per camera performance. Enabling Turbo Mode can effectively double the units
recording performance.
All DV-IP NV8 models offer a blend of analogue and IP connections. Each camera can offer realtime viewing, recording and playback simultaneously.

The unit supports a 10/100 Mbps auto-detecting network port. If not utilising Closed IPTV, connect
to the network via port ETH-1. If using Closed IPTV, use a CAT5 cable to connect to the General
network via port ETH-A .
By default the unit is congured for DHCP i.e. the unit can automatically be allocated an IP address
from a network DHCP server.
DHCP works by assigning an IP address at initial connection to the network. It is possible however
that this IP address can change without notication i.e. following power failure. DNS (Dynamic Name
Service) allows the unit to be assigned a meaningful name which can be used to reference the unit
instead of an IP address. This will remain constant in the event that the DHCP assigned IP address
changes. If you do not wish to assign a DNS name, a xed IP address can be assigned via the
Conguration Menu pages:Network Settings->Network->IP Address.
When the unit is powered up, the network address can be found by viewing on a local monitor and
navigating to Conguration Menu pages:System Settings->System->IP Address.
Refer to ‘Conguring The Unit’ for further guidance on locating the unit’s IP address and for details of
the default DNS (Domain Name Service) address.
Important: The Closed IPTV NV8 unit must be in Congure mode to nd any existing units
on the network with addresses in the range it can automatically assign. It can then
give suitable IP addresses for new cameras, avoiding potential IP address clash

The unit supports up to 16 connected analog Video Inputs (dependent on model) via the 75Ω BNC
connectors. Connect cameras to the video inputs, starting from input 1.
Note: In a Closed IPTV application, channels can be utilised by the Analogue cameras connected
to BNC sockets on the back of the unit OR by IP cameras connected to the Closed IPTV
camera ports on the Layer3 Enhanced CCTV Switch. If an IP source is plugged into a
channel occupied by a BNC connection, the BNC will take priority and possess the channel,
whilst the IP connection will be added to an un-allocated list (refer to ‘Closed IPTV Camera
Allocation’), allowing it to be tied to an available channel through the conguration pages.
Note: The ‘Restrict public access (Eth B)’ setting (Closed IPTV-> Settings must be enabled
if using Oracle IP domes in a Closed IPTV environment. Dedicated Micros strongly
recommends enabling this setting once conguration is complete even if Oracle IP
Domes are not used in the conguration.

The following describes the EOL tamper alarms circuitry needed when EOL has been congured.
There should be two resistive values within the tamper alarm circuitry. These must be located inside
the alarm device (furthest point from the unit).
The alarm state could be Normally Open or Normally closed however the tamper states are the
same for both settings.
Open, the resistive value is 6.8K ohms (1K + 5.6K).
Closed, the resistive value is 1K ohms, as the circuit does not see the 5.6K ohm resistor.
Open Circuit Tamper, the resistive value is innity as the circuit has been cut and
therefore is ‘open’.
Short Circuit Tamper, the resistive value is 0 Ohms.

Upgrading
There are some units that are Closed IPTV enabled, but require a software upgrade to ‘discover’ the
Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch and allow the system to operate fully as Closed IPTV. Navigate to
System->Attributes page (refer to ‘Navigating The Conguration Menus’) and click on the Software
button. Check the Software Revision number, in the format of 6.6 (8.0017) M3UP 2010-10-31 14:50.
NVR units at 6.6 (8.XXXX) or above do NOT require an Upgrade. NVR units BELOW 6.6 (8.XXXX)
do require an upgrade. The software is available on the CD that comes with the Layer 3 Enhanced
CCTV Switch or from the Dedicated Micros website. CDs are clearly marked for NTSC and PAL
units.
1) Insert the supplied Upgrade CD into the NVR CD/DVD drive.
2) Reset the NVR. The NVR will boot into an upgrade state. Follow the onscreen
instructions to initiate the upgrade.
Note: The Upgrade can take up to 20 minutes to complete, during which time the NVR will NOT
be recording.
NOTE: Do not switch the unit off until the upgrade screen indicates the process is complete. Please
call Technical Support if there are any problems.
3) When the on screen prompt indicates that the upgrade is complete then remove the
upgrade CD and reboot the unit.
4) When the unit has booted connect Eth-A of the Enhanced Layer 3 CCTV Switch to
the Network port on the unit. The NV8 should Auto-congure itself to be Closed IPTV
enabled and in Conguration Mode on detection of link up on the network port. This will
be indicated by an on screen pop up on the local monitor display.
Closed IPTV Camera Allocation
Analogue channels can be utilised by the BNC connections on the back of the unit OR by the
sockets on the Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch. If an IP source is plugged into a channel occupied
by a BNC connection, the BNC will take priority and possess the channel, whilst the IP connection
will be added to an unassigned list, allowing it to be tied to an available channel through the
conguration pages.
Individual cameras should be connected in sequential order, i.e. connect the rst camera to port
number 1 on the Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch. When this connection is registered by the NVR,
it will display a notication on the Main Monitor showing the recognised details of the new video
source, including resolution, name and MAC address. There will also be a notication if a camera is
disconnected.

Multi channel encoder camera allocation (DV-IP NV1)
A NetVu Connected multi-channel server can be can be added to any of the camera ports as a video
source. The available channels are then allocated as the Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch detects
video sources on the NetVu Connected multi-channel server and allocates them to consecutive Port
Free channels, starting at the port on which the video source is added. If the process encounters
a channel that does not have “Port Free” status then the video source will be added to the unallocated list; consecutive cameras will only be applied to channels that are Port Free.
For example the Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch has channel ports 1,3,4 listed as Port Free, 2 is an
Analogue camera. If one 4 channel ICR encoder is added to camera 1. The result is;
► ICR Encoder - Camera 1 -> Camera 1 NVR
◄ ICR Encoder - Camera 2 -> Unallocated, Cameras
► ICR Encoder - Camera 3 -> Camera 3 NVR
► ICR Encoder - Camera 4 -> Camera 4 NVR.

When a multichannel encoder is connected to the Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch, the NVR will
receive information from the encoder about how many cameras are connected. Channels set as Not
Connected on the encoder, when presented to the Enhanced Layer 3 switch will not be eligible for
Auto IP.
In the scenario shown below, the NVR is set at defaults and the Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch
has an ICR encoder with three analogue camera inputs connected at positions 1, 3 and 4. Position 2
is not used. The Closed IPTV NVR would be auto congured on consecutive ports, camera 2 would
not be allocated to port 2 which would be registered as assigned to a failed camera.

Analogue channels take precedence. If an analogue camera is present and connected then it will
only become Port Free if the channel is set to Not Connected on the Closed IP NVR conguration
pages.
The de-allocated cameras are added to the Camera->Un-allocated Cameras page on the NVR,
which shows a tabulated list of all un-allocated cameras connected to the switch, showing all
the camera details (DNS, Auto IP Address, MAC, Classication, Channel number and Native
resolution). Each camera has a drop down list showing all ‘Port Free’ channels available for
allocation to the video source.
Any errors in setting up the cameras can be rectied by simply disconnecting and reconnecting
the camera to the switch in whilst conguration mode, which will allow the camera to reallocate.
If multiple changes are made, it is recommended that the NVR is reset after correcting the
conguration to ensure perfect allocation.
IMPORTANT: For further information refer to the Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch manual

Closed IPTV
Dedicated Micros’ ground breaking Closed IPTV solution makes deploying an IP Video, CCTV
system safe, secure and simple. Combining patent-pending innovation with zeroconf networking
technology, Closed IPTV automatically allocates IP addresses to IP cameras by physical port. This
ground breaking solution provides a very simple and secure answer to IP Video, meaning that no
prior knowledge of IP networking is required.
Note: The menus under the Closed IPTV heading become active when the Closed IPTV feature
has been enabled and there is at least one Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch connected.
The Settings page provides access to the majority of conguration options for the feature, and is
used to enable conguration of the switches, setting the security and access features whilst also
giving an overview of the port status of each connected switch..
The Security Actions Page congures how any device connected to a breached port is prevented
from accessing the general corporate network or the Closed IPTV network.
The Discover page allows automatic discovery of Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switches connected to
the Closed IPTV NVR.
The Upgrade Switch page allows connected Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switches to be quickly, easily
and securely upgraded.
The Advanced page allows switch base camera numbers to be set, and camera details to be
synchronised automatically.
The POE Setup page allows the conguration of certain PoE related settings and displays the
allocation of power to each of the connected devices.
Conguring Closed IPTV
It is only possible to change Closed IPTV settings when the system is in Conguration mode (Closed
IPTV->Settings). The Closed IPTV logo in the top corner of the conguration pages gives a quick
indication of whether the system is in Secure or Conguration mode. The main display will also say
if the unit is in Conguration mode. Dedicated Micros strongly recommend the system is always left
in Secure Mode unless Closed IPTV settings are actually being edited.

The on-screen image of the Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch provides instant information regarding
camera connection ports.
Ensure only ONE camera (analogue or IP) is allocated to each available port. The sockets on the
Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch and the analogue connections on the back of the unit share a
port to the video codecs, and will work with EITHER an analogue camera or an IP camera in each
port. If an analogue camera and an IP camera share a port, the IP camera will be disconnected and
bumped to an Unallocated cameras list for assignment to a different port.

Port Illustration Colour Key
Port Free (Black) █ No video source currently connected to the port and
nothing assigned to that channel.
Analog Connection (Blue) █ Analogue camera input using the BNC connection for
this channel on the back of the NVR. Analogue cameras
take priority over IP cameras when channels are being
assigned; if an IP camera is put into the port on the switch
associated with an a channel allocated to an analogue
input, the IP camera will go into the un-allocated camera
list and the port icon will turn orange to signify Duplicate
Port Allocation (see below).
Single IP Connected (Green) █ A single IP camera is connected directly to the port and
will be auto assigned to the channel.
Single IP Assigned (Turquoise) █ A camera that has either ;
been congured manually independently outside Closed
IPTV or
is one of the cameras (above camera 1 of the encoder)
assigned by Closed IPTV by connecting a multi channel
encoder.
Multiple IP Connections (Yellow)
█ A port that is hosting a multiple channel input e.g. a
connection to a multi channel encoder. The cameras after
this are treated by the NVR as Single IP Assigned.
Duplicate Channel Allocation (Orange)
█ A port that has analogue and IP connection applied to it.
The IP source will be un-allocated.
Unknown (White) A port which has detected a network connection but the
type of connected device is not recognised.
IP Detected (Magenta) █ A port which has detected a network connection but the
device is either not assigned to current channel or is
assigned elsewhere.
Security Level Select from Conguration Mode’ or ‘Secure Mode’.
In Conguration mode;
● The security settings of all cascaded Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV
Switches can be globally edited
● The conguration of all endpoints (video sources) connected
to the attached Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch can be
globally edited.
Use this mode when conguring or adding additional servers
to a Closed IPTV system only. The switch is not secure in this
mode, but it allows the NVR to discover cameras and additional
switches. Cameras can be physically swapped around and
congured by the user as required.
Note: In Conguration mode, there is no registration of a camera fail. The cameras are either in a
not connected state or connected when present.
In Secure Mode;
● Closed IPTV security is enabled and the selected security
settings (determined by the conguration check boxes) are
applied.
● End points (video sources) will become trusted for NetVu
Connected Cameras.
When in this mode access is restricted by a number of
techniques, including Restrict between end points, Restrict Public
Access, Restrict multicast from general network and Lock ports by
MAC (below).
Note: In Secure Mode, video sources are either successfully connected or port free. A congured
source that is not sending data will be registered as a camera fail.
Page 62
62
DV-IP NV8
62
NOTE: Secure mode should always be enabled once conguration is complete. If left in Conguration
mode the system will be insecure and vulnerable to attacks. A visible warning will be
displayed on the local viewer if Secure mode is not applied.
Restrict between end point ports End points are dened as the extreme edges of the network,
normally video sources, which could be exploited as potentially
insecure connections into the Closed IPTV network.
This option acts as a hard rewall to stop exposed end points
from being used to mount attacks on other cameras in a different
location (e.g. prevents a camera in a public location from affecting
a camera in the safe vault).
Restrict public access (Port B) Select to restrict all network data between the General/Corporate
network to the video end points. No outside connections except
the NVR are allowed to communicate with end points directly, and
endpoints are separated from the General/Corporate Network..
Note: The NVR itself on standard DHCP or static IP address will still be accessible from Eth-B if
physically connected to network.
Note Non NetVu Connected cameras will only be allocated DHCP addresses by the external
network if this option is disabled.
Warning: If this option is not enabled it will still be possible for external systems connected to
the general corporate network (via port Eth-B) to access all camera/video sources.
Dedicated Micros recommends that Eth-B should always be left restricted in Secure
Mode as security can be compromised if left unrestricted. Additional Closed IPTV
systems should always be added in Cong mode to allow auto IP conguration to
accommodate existing systems and avoid IP conicts.
Restrict multicast from
general network This disables client network access to the multicast services on
the camera, but does not disable standard web access for camera
conguration etc. unless ‘Restrict public access’ is also enabled. If
this option is ticked, it only allows clients to receive multicast video
data through SAP service group broadcasts from the NVR.
Warning: Multicasting requires this option is disabled to ensure public access is unrestricted.
Lock ports by MAC Camera ports on the Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch can be
locked to the MAC address of the camera connected to that
port. This prevents casual access from the port to the rest of the
system (DVR, other cameras). No other MAC address will be
allowed on that port.
This allows multicast, direct camera access
etc but protects the client network to a limited degree from the
exposed end point.
Authenticate end points More sophisticated attackers could bypass the Layer 3 Enhanced
CCTV Switch MAC address rules (described in ‘Lock Ports by
MAC’)by spoong the MAC address of the camera connected to
the port. This will cause the NetVu Connected video streams to be
signed from camera to port with a unique identity which creates a
trusted end point (camera).
Signature Verify Remote Codecs More sophisticated attackers could bypass the Layer 3 Enhanced
CCTV Switch MAC address rules (described in ‘Lock Ports by
MAC’) by spoong the MAC address of the camera connected to
the port. We can identify such attackers using Trusted Endpoint
Signature Verication of the video stream.
Warning: If this option and ‘Lock ports by MAC’ is not enabled then cameras or other devices
can be swapped in and out of the port with no restrictions on their network data i.e. an
alternative ‘hacked’ video source could be introduced to the Layer 3 switch in place of a
legitimate source.

Restrict End Point Access to NVR
To limit the potential intrusion methods available from the camera
ports, the standard set of TCP and UDP services on the NVR
can be completely disabled to trafc from the camera ports. If a
camera has been swapped for a device that has been given a
spoof MAC address the NVR will still only accept data from that
connection via the usual HTTP port. The port can only supply
video, and this will be agged as unsigned due to the Trusted
Endpoint feature (if enabled).
Enable ingress rate limit Enables the facility to limit the amount of data retrieved from the
connected cameras. The limits, for Framerate and/or Bitrate, are
set on the ‘Closed IPTV -> Advanced’ page.
Security Violations

dial on the base to allow a unique (in the chain) identier to be set. This identier is used by the
conguration pages to congure the base camera number.
Re-Scan (Yellow) The switch will interrogate all the connected
cameras and update the synchronised details.
Auto-Synchronise NVR variables with cameras
When a new camera is connected and the unit is
in conguration mode, the NVR will synchronise
some of the settings (e.g. camera title) with the
camera. This synchronisation will only occur for
Remote Codec cameras (i.e. NetVu Connected
cameras and video servers) and only in
conguration mode.

IP Stream Inputs
The IP Streams menu allows the selection of High, Medium and Low resolution settings for video
originating from a network based source i.e. IP Server. These streams are congured on the remote
device. This feature is predominately intended for use with 3rd party IP camera streams (connected
via the 3rd party IP camera unlock feature).
Note: The IP Stream needs to be set to Simple Streaming on Camera->Setup.
Note: There is only normal ‘non event’ recording for connected IP cameras.
Channel Select a camera channel for review and adjustment. Only those
cameras designated as ‘IP’ in the Camera Setup menu will be
available (Conguration menu: Camera->Setup).
Copy to all Select this option to apply current settings to all
connected cameras.
The following options can be congured for Set, Unset and Override record proles when operating
under Normal (non Event) conditions, refer to Conguration Menu:Record Settings->Prole Record
for information regarding record modes.
Comp Select image compression format (MPEG or JPEG).
Res For both MPEG and JPEG recording, select either High, Medium
or Low quality resolution settings.
Note: To view a local third party IP camera ‘live’, IP recording should be set to MPEG.

IP Camera Conguration
Channel Select a camera channel for review and adjustment. Only those
cameras designated as ‘IP’ in the Camera Setup menu will be
available, refer to Camera->Setup.
Mode Select the IP mode used to receive incoming IP data. Select from:
Simple Stream Received IP streams are non-compressed and
are viewed as congured on the originating
source.
Recode Stream When selected, the unit will recompress the
incoming IP stream to the record prole settings
established for this camera channel in the
Prole Record menu (Record Settings->Prole
Record). This feature is only accessible with
3rd party IP camera when the 3rd party IP
camera license has been enabled.
Remote codec When selected, the unit will utilise the codec
in the remote NetVu connected video server/
camera as if it was directly connected inside the
DVR, allowing the user to change Multimode
proles and perform additional activities such as
VMD and Activity Detection as if the codec was
an integral part of the DVR. If ‘Remote codec’
is selected, the loading on the unit’s internal
codecs will be reduced.
IMPORTANT: The Remote codec option is only applicable for NetVu Connected cameras.

be available:
URL Enter the URL address of the image source.
Port If required, edit the port input data. This will default to 80 (HTTP).

Unallocated Cams
Channels can be utilised by the BNC connections on the back of the unit OR by the sockets on the
switch. If an IP source is plugged into a channel occupied by a BNC connection, the BNC will take
priority and possess the channel, whilst the IP connection will be added to the un-allocated list,
allowing it to be tied to an available channel through this conguration page.
Similarly, if a BNC connection is assigned to an occupied IP channel, the IP camera will be ‘bumped’
onto this list.
Cameras can then be assigned to a free channel, or dismissed as no longer required. A dismissed
camera can be added back into the un-allocated list by refreshing the connection (unplugging it from
the switch, and plugging it back in again).
Assign to: Displays all available unassigned camera positions.
Assign Assigns the associated IP stream to the selected camera.
Remove Entry Deletes the associated IP stream from the un-allocated cameras
list

Privacy Zones
Privacy Zones are designed to obscure an area of view from the local operator, without disrupting
the recorded images. The Privacy Zone is applied to the local output from the NVR and so is not
available in NetVu ObserVer or when a camera is Multicast. One Privacy Zone can be congured
per camera, allowing that area of the image to be obscured electronically. Privacy Zones are
normally congured when a camera is pointing towards a private residence, or into an area that
should not be visible (e.g. toilet, changing room). Privacy zones should currently only be congured
on static cameras.
How to congure a Privacy Zone
Use the mouse (either through the network interface of by plugging a USB mouse into the NVR and
using the local interface) to dene the area to be obscured by clicking on one corner of the zone to
be obscured, and then clicking again to dene the opposite corner.
Note: During Conguration, view the camera in different multi screen congurations to make sure
the mask covers the area to be obscured in all views.
Suppress Local Live This setting allows cameras to have the privacy zone disabled
during live viewing on the local monitor. Add individual cameras
by listing them separated by a comma, add an inclusive range of
cameras using a dash e.g. 1,2, 4-5, 8
Suppress Local Replay This setting allows cameras to have the privacy zone disabled
during playback on the local monitor. Add individual cameras by
listing them separated by a comma, add an inclusive range of
cameras using a dash e.g. 1,2, 4-5, 8
