iNEX Standard
Chapter 1 — Introduction
This manual describes installation and operation of iNEX Standard software, which is designed to be used
with network cameras, network video transmitters and digital video recorders (DVRs).
1.1 Features
iNEX Standard is a software that controls monitoring and recording of live video and playback of recorded
video.
Remote monitoring of live images
Remote monitoring of live images in multiple Client systems through a streaming service (the number
of channels that can be streamed equals the number of channels that can be recorded unless streaming
WIBU-Keys have been added)
Stable steaming by using the load balancing function in installation with more than one streaming server
Video analytics of live images through a video analytics service
Up to 64 simultaneous connections to the iNEX system
Remote software upgrades and system setup (supported only for devices which provide the functions)
Display of system log information (supported only for devices which use the iNEX protocol)
Map monitoring of live images
Centralized system operation and management and event handling
Decompression algorithm for H.264, MPEG-4 and M-JPEG
Enhanced security using the SSL function
Two-way audio communication
Enhanced security by setting up different authorities for each user group
Intuitive GUI
The following are supported only for network cameras and network video transmitters:
− Recording of video and playback of the recorded video
− Multiple recording servers for advanced recording performance
− Instant Recording of monitored images
− Audio recording
− Stable recording using proprietary video database file system
The following are supported only for DVRs:
− Playback of video recorded in DVRs
− Remote control of panic recording
Number of services and devices that can be registered and channels that recording, streaming and video
analytics are available for:
− Service Registration: One monitoring service, one to four streaming services, 32 video analytics services,
64 recording services, 64 backup services (the number of streaming services that can be registered differs
depending on the type and number of WIBU-Keys purchased. Backup services are sold separately)
− Device Registration: Maximum of 1,024 devices including devices which do not use the iNEX protocol
(The devices which do not use the iNEX protocol can be registered up to the maximum number of available
recording channels. For example, if your iNEX software supports four-channel recording, up to four
devices that do not use the iNEX protocol can be registered.)
− Recording (not supported for DVRs): Maximum of four to 256 channels depending on the type and
number of the WIBU-Keys (up to 256 channels per recording server with up to 64 recording servers)
−
Streaming: The number of channels that can be streamed equals the number of channels that can be
recorded unless streaming WIBU-Keys have been added (maximum of 512 to 2,048 channels depending
on the type and number of the WIBU-Keys when WIBU-Keys have been added).
− Video Analytics: Up to 8 channels per video analytics service are available.

User’s Manual
NOTES:
Ask your dealer or distributor about the number of channels that can be recorded or streamed using your
iNEX software. If the device is a four-channel network video transmitter which uses the iNEX protocol,
all four cameras are counted even if some of the four cameras are disabled, and four channels per network
video transmitter are deducted from the number of channels available for recording, streaming and video
analytics.
Several types of WIBU-Keys are available and support different numbers of channels for streaming,
recording or backup. You can increase the number of channels by buying a license file increasing the
number of channels supported by a WIBU-Key or by buying additional WIBU-Keys. Refer to 4.1 Service
Manager (p. 31) for details about the license file.
The iNEX Backup and iNEX Federation software are supported to allow you to build better surveillance
systems. Ask your dealer or distributor about purchasing the software and details about it.
This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit
(http://www.openssl.org/).
The software included in this product contains some Open Sources. You may obtain the complete
corresponding source code from us. See the Open Source Guide on the software CD (OpenSourceGuide\
OpenSourceGuide.pdf) or as a printed document included along with the User's Manual.

name will be updated automatically depending on the settings of the device.
ID, Password: Enter the user ID and password which you set in the device in order to connect to that
device remotely. The connection to the device is allowed only to the users under the Administrator
group of the device, and recording is allowed only to the admin user under the Administrator group
of the device.
Recording Service: Select a recording server from the list to record video from the selected device
(supported only for the network video devices). The device is registered on the recording server and
the recording server performs recording according to a recording schedule. It is recommended that
you do not change the recording server once any recording has been made. If you change the recording
server after some recording has been done, you cannot search or play back the video recorded on the
original recording server. The number in the recording server list indicates the maximum number of
cameras that can be registered, and the name indicates the name of a recording service, which was set
during the Service menu setup. The maximum number of cameras that can be registered differs depending
on the type and number of the WIBU-Keys connected to the administration server. When selecting
the Do not record option, the iNEX program treats the device during the Schedule setup as though
it was not registered and does not perform any of the scheduled activities associated with the device.
You can check the list of devices registered on the recording server on a Device Setup tab while
setting up the recording server in the Service menu. Refer to Chapter 15 — Storage Management
(p. 125) for details.

number of channels that can be streamed equals the number of channels that can be recorded unless
streaming WIBU-Keys have been added. When you register more than one streaming service by buying
additional WIBU-Keys, the iNEX program chooses any one of the streaming services depending on
the system load of the streaming server. Refer to Chapter 11 — Streaming (p. 97) for details.
Apply to All Devices: Select to apply the same user ID and password to all selected devices if you
selected more than one device and the selected devises have the same user ID and password.
