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.

Name, Address, Device Type: Displays the name, IP address and type of the selected device. The 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.

Streaming Service: Select whether or not to use the streaming service for monitoring video from the device. If you use the streaming service, the iNEX program transmits video from the device to the client system through the streaming server, and it allows multiple users to monitor video simultaneously. The 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.
