DV-IP NV1
Introduction
What is the…
DV-IP NV1 Universal Encoder / High Denition Console & ICR Server ?
The DV-IP NV1 provides a vital bridge between state-of-the-art and legacy CCTV solutions;
minimising immediate upgrade costs when deploying a next generation CCTV solution.
The versatility of the DV-IP NV1 allows it to be used as an analogue encoder, 3rd party IP camera
re-coder, NetVu Console/Decoder or a fully edged, enterprise class video server supporting analog
and IP inputs, allowing storage on USB or AoE network attached storage. With composite or HDMI
monitor output, the NV1 can display megapixel and HD CCTV camera sources in a powerful NetVu
Console viewing client.
Demonstrating the power of the NetVu Connected architecture, the NV1 includes powerful re-coding
capabilities that can decode, in real-time, any supported 3rd party IP camera stream and convert to
a raw video image. This enables functions such as Analytics, Activity Detection, VMD and switching
on alarm to be performed on any connected IP stream and introduces the ability to provide multiple
streams from the same IP camera.
Any video input, regardless of source, can be seamlessly integrated into a NetVu Connected
system through the deployment of a DV-IP NV1. Analogue or IP cameras, PTZ and high denition /
megapixel cameras can be viewed, recorded and controlled through the unit.
The DV-IP NV1 offers decoding capabilities for the viewing of remote video feeds from cameras and
DVRs. With a HDMI output and multi-screen viewing, the product can be controlled as a secondary
hi-denition monitor for DVRs or other NetVu Connected devices providing greater freedom to users
wishing to expand the control of their network without incurring the signicant associated cost.
With embedded ICR (Integrated Camera Recording) Technology the DV-IP NV1 can make any
analogue or IP camera into an edge-located recording device. ICR recording can be via a removable
micro SD card, external USB drive or ATA over Ethernet (AoE) drive / RAID. Providing separate,
remote storage for backup and long-term archiving and enables a tiered storage architecture that
protects against a single point of failure.
The DV-IP NV1 is ready to be part of the next generation of video security – 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.

Closed IPTV with the DV-IP NV1
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.
Using Closed IPTV with 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
E
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->Unallocated Cameras page on the NVR,
which shows a tabulated list of all unallocated 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.

Quick Overview of DV-IP NV1 Record Settings
When set to operate in Encoder or DVR, the DV-IP NV1 provides as default:
• High performance recording with minimal conguration.
• Consistent recording duration and smooth motion video capture.
• Default recording at MPEG4 5pps or JPEG 1PPS
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the time and date be congured either by the ‘Sync To PC’
Complete Flexibility
The advanced record menu can be used to congure individual cameras to suit specic
requirements e.g. Entry/Exit routes. Various storage sizes are available dependant on the
combination of the number of cameras, the storage options and record rates selected.
Note: It is the Installer/Owner’s responsibility to ensure that the record duration is set to the
option, or ideally, the ‘SNTP Server’ option. A Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
server allows external devices to connect and set their current date and time settings to
that of the SNTP. There are numerous SNTP clients available via the web, a Windows
server can also be used as an SNTP client.

The DV-IP NV1 supports two 10/100Mbps auto-detecting network port (operating on an internal
switch). Use a CAT5 cable to connect the unit to the network. If using the DV-IP NV1 in a closed
IPTV environment, refer to Closed IPTV with the DV-IP NV1 and Modes of Operation for detail on
how to connect securely to the Closed IPTV network.
The unit also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows the power for unit to be supplied
via the ethernet port. If the PoE function is to be utilised, connect the CAT5 cable to the network
connector labelled ‘NET 0 POE’.
Note: The PoE function must be used in conjunction with a PoE Switch or the POE Injector
(not supplied).
POE Injector (available separately)
The Dedicated Micros POE Injector is designed to enable the use of POE (Power over Ethernet)
before a POE capable switch has been installed. It is installed alongside a suitable 48Vdc PSU that
can supply 15W is required - DM/PSU/48V can be purchased separately from Dedicated Micros.

Operation on a Standard IP Network
Locating the Unit’s IP address
The unit is congured 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 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 IP address can be found by viewing on a local monitor and
navigating to Conguration 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.
NV1
Installation Guide
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 conguration 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-conguration networking (sometimes known as Bonjour), this enables
automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Zero-conguration uses
industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the
need to enter IP addresses or congure 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
conguration 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.

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.
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.
NV1
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 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.
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.

It is advisable to only allocate ONE camera (analogue or IP) to each available port.

JPEG Pre Trigger
This menu enables conguration of the pre trigger feature (for cameras recording JPEG mode only).
When enabled, the pre-trigger feature will buffer and store alarm recording prior to an event trigger.

Installation Guide
Channel Only those camera channels set to record in JPEG mode will be
available for conguration.
Pre-Trigger (JPEG) Enabling the Pre-Trigger feature will buffer and store alarm
recording prior to an event trigger (in JPEG format). It will use
the maximum available memory dependent on other cameras
requirements of the buffer space. Select ‘Enable’ to activate.
Note: It is recommended that the Pre-Alarm option in the ‘Alarm Settings-Zone Input’ menu be set
to the same value as the Pre-Trigger setting. This will ensure successful playback of high
quality Pre-Trigger images. High quality pre-trigger images will only playback properly if
review (playback) starts prior to the pre-trigger initiation.
Pre-Trigger Duration (secs) The Pre-Trigger Duration is the maximum possible time that data
will be stored prior to an event trigger.

AoE Setup
This menu allows conguration 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
