Introduction
What is the…
High Denition NetVu Console ?
Enabling customers to deploy an additional viewing & control station with minimal installation requirements, NetVu Console allows a traditional telemetry keyboard and monitor combination to be placed anywhere the customer requires with no need to retrain operators. All that is required is an IP connection and power.
NetVu Console ensures multiple DVR systems can seamlessly be linked to a single point of control with only an Ethernet network connection. Because it is linked via the network, the position and quantity of control locations now becomes exible, providing a truly seamless and expansive CCTV solution.
Ideal for installing extra control positions that duplicate the local control functionality of the DVR, the NetVu Console is connected to the associated units and cameras via an IP connection, utilising the IP/Analogue conversion capability of its embedded decoder.
The exibility of the unit allows operators to control cameras from a number of NetVu Connected DVRs or Servers, providing greater freedom to users wishing to expand the control of their network without incurring the signicant associated cost.

monitor. With no need for a telemetry keyboard, users are able to use Pan & Tilt control of a Dedicated Micros Oracle Dome simply by clicking an area of the monitor. The camera will instantly respond, positioning the selected area in the middle of the screen, ideal for tracking movement through a scene.
MAP
Users can now navigate around their CCTV installation using a graphical map. Selecting the relevant camera from the map will instantly connect the user to that cameras image stream. With the ability to load bespoke map images and oor plans to reect their installations, the Maps feature is ideal for quickly identifying camera locations around a site or CCTV network.
COMMON CONFIGURATION INTERFACE
A Common Conguration interface is displayed when the unit’s conguration screens are accessed locally at the unit or remotely via a web browser. This unied system ensures that the installer is familiar with the conguration screens irrespective of their location to the unit, minimising training and familiarisation time and increasing the speed of installation and alteration.
The HD NetVu Console includes the unique colour-coded, soft key menu structure and on-screen Graphical User Interface (GUI). Context sensitive, the menu structure always represents the area of the menu the user is in, allowing them to quickly select the options and settings they need without having to trawl through menu pages and options.
VIDEO TIMELINE
The Video Timeline feature is an intuitive interface for the control and navigation of playback video. With control via the colour-coded on-screen buttons, the user is able to control the video forward or backwards in incremental steps of seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks.
MultiMode Recording
The unit supports MultiMode recording in DVR mode which is a storage technology developed by Dedicated Micros. This offers the ability to set different recording rates, resolutions and compression formats across scheduled, normal and alarm modes for each individual camera.
By varying the quality, bit rate and le size of the recorded images, the MultiMode function can increase recording capabilities of the unit.
MultiMode offers:
Ability to set different recording resolutions.
Ability to set and switch MPEG or JPEG compression recording as required.
Ability to set PPS recording rate per camera.
Dynamically switchable resolution when switching from Normal to Event recording.

Operation on a Standard IP Network
Locating the Unit’s IP address
The unit is congured using on-board web pages. This can be done remotely once the unit has been installed in its chosen location. The IP address of the unit is required to access these pages. When the unit is connected to a DHCP network for the rst time, its IP address is unlikely to be known without referring to the settings of the network switch or router it is connected to.
DHCP works by assigning an IP address at initial connection to the network. It is possible however that this IP address can change without notication 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 Conguration Menu pages:Network Settings->Network->IP Address.
When the unit is powered up, the IP address can be found by viewing on a local monitor and navigating to Conguration Menu pages:System Settings->Attributes->IP Address.
IMPORTANT: Refer to Appendix D for guidance on locating the unit’s DHCP assigned IP address
via a Serial Port connection to a PC / Laptop.
The easiest way to open the web pages remotely for the rst time and identify the assigned IP address (via the Status page) is by connecting to the Unit using its DNS address.
Default DNS Address
The default DNS address for each unit is factory set to be its serial number. Therefore the address can be found from the serial label on the unit or via the packaging the unit came in. The DNS address can be typed directly into the address bar of a web browser on a desk/laptop connected to the same local network as the unit.
Note: The unit’s DNS address can be changed subsequently to something more memorable
or meaningful than its serial number. It can be edited via the System name option in the Attributes conguration page (System->Attributes).
Note: Following a change to the System name (DNS address), it will be necessary to reboot the
unit. The unit can be rebooted via System -> Maintain-> Reset.
The unit supports zero-conguration networking (sometimes known as Bonjour), this enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Zero-conguration uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or congure DNS servers. By loading a suitable free add-on to your web browser such as Bonjour for Windows for Internet Explorer or BonjourFoxy for FireFox zero conguration devices such as this unit can easily be discovered and accessed.
The web pages loaded onto the unit can be navigated by connecting a monitor to MON A and the provided USB mouse into one of the USB ports.

Channels can be utilised by the BNC connections on the unit OR by the sockets on any connected 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 the un-allocated list, allowing it to be tied to an available channel through this conguration pages.
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).

or Encoder, they are not available in the Console conguration. They are included for reference only.
This menu allows conguration of the units ATA over Ethernet (AoE) function. AoE is a network protocol designed for simple high-performance access of storage devices over Ethernet networks. Importantly the external storage device must be located on the same network as the unit. AoE does not rely on network layers such as IP and TCP, making it non routable i.e. routers cannot be used to forward a packet across disparate networks. AoE packets can only travel within a single local Ethernet storage area network (adds a physical layer of security to the information). The stored video can only be accessed by plugging directly into an ethernet socket in the same LAN as the host. This means AoE cannot be accessed over the Internet or other IP networks, but makes AoE more lightweight (with less load on the host), easier to implement, provides a layer of inherent security, and offers higher performance.
Note: Refer to Viewer Menu->Copy Menu for guidance on exporting Event data via the unit’s
USB port.
IMPORTANT: An additional .ini le must be installed to make use of the AOE feature. Please
