Commissioning Plan
Overview
Commissioning is the process of installing, configuring, and setting up the MAXPRO NVR
system hardware and software. At the end of the commissioning process, the MAXPRO NVR
system is equipped for use by operators to perform video surveillance operations.
Steps in the Commissioning Process
The process of commissioning involves the following phases.
Setting up the MAXPRO NVR
Setting up the MAXPRO NVR involves:
1
•Determining the number of MAXPRO
•Choosing the desired MAXPRO NVR system architecture.
•Connecting the monitors to the MAXPRO NVR. After connecting the monitors, configure
the monitor display properties.
•Connecting the keyboards (for example, Ultrakey) to the MAXPRO NVR unit.
Note:See Setting up the MAXPRO NVR for information on how to setup the MAXPRO
NVR system.
NVR server and client computers at the location.
Installing the Software in the Server and Client
Computers
Caution: For the Honeywell’s boxed solutions: MAXPRO NVR PE, MAXPRO NVR
XE, and MAXPRO NVR SE, the server and client software required is
already installed on the box. Hence the instructions in this section for
server software fresh installation are NOT applicable.
MAXPRO NVR Commissioning and Installation Guide19

Steps in the Commissioning Process
Installing the software involves the following steps:
•The server and client computers meet the minimum hardware and software
requirements.
•Installing the MAXPRO NVR software.
Note:See Installing MAXPRO NVR for information on software requirements and
installation instructions for the MAXPRO NVR software.
Configuring MAXPRO NVR
In this phase, you need to configure the MAXPRO NVR through the user interface. Configuring
MAXPRO NVR includes the following:
•Configuring the Honeywell cameras with MAXPRO NVR Wizard
•Configuring the system level settings
•Configuring the disk management settings
•Configuring the schedule based recording for cameras
•Performing user administration
Note:See Configuring MAXPRO NVR for information on how to configure the MAXPRO
NVR system.
Verifying the Configuration
•Verifying the configuration involves checking whether the surveillance operations can be
performed using MAXPRO NVR. Surveillance operations include: viewing the live video,
performing the pan, tilt, and zoom on the video, and starting the video recording.
Note:See Verifying the Configuration for information on how to perform the verification.

Checking the Creation of Clips
Checking the Creation of Clips
You can create clips from recorded video. These clips can be saved with digital signatures.
Digital signatures ensure authenticity of clips. Digital signatures are primarily used to
authenticate videos that are produced in courts as evidence. A digital signature generates a
unique string for the clip using algorithms recommended by the W3C. The World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium where member organizations, a full-time
staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards. If the video in the clip is
modified, a verification check for the unique string fails indicating that the content is tampered.
When a clip is saved with the digital signature, a package file with the .PKG extension is
created to save the clip.
Note:Refer to the MAXPRO NVR Operator’s Guide for more information on creating
clips.

Setting Up Antivirus Software for MAXPRO NVRs
Setting Up Antivirus Software for MAXPRO
NVRs
Honeywell supports installing the following Antivirus software on MAXPRO NVRs.The following
Antivirus applications have been tested, and function well with the MAXPRO NVR operational
parameters.
•McAfee VirusScan Version 8.8, McAfee Antispyware
•Microsoft Security Essentials
•Symantec AntiVirus Edition 2008 (Norton), 2010
•Sophos v7.3.0
•AVG v8.5.409
Auto-protection and Auto-updates
Auto-protection (Live file-system protection) is recommended along with auto-updating
through the Internet or a Network Virus Definition Server. When using auto-update, it may be
necessary to reboot the NVR for some of the patches/updates to take effect. This is not
normally needed during standard virus definition updates; however, occasionally Antivirus
Software Engine updates trigger that require system reboots. In this scenario, it is suggested
that, if the Antivirus software is installed and configured on an NVR system, auto-updates are
disabled and updates need to be done manually by the operator to manage the reboots.
IMPORTANT! Do Not Schedule DATA Drive Scans
Do not set the Antivirus software to run any scheduled hard disk scans of DATA (Video
Storage) drives. This can hinder the performance of the NVR unit and cause other potential
problems. In particular:
•The NVR software is CPU and Memory dependant. Having antivirus software scan
DATA (Video Storage) drives while recording video can cause degradation of
recording performance.
•Scanning DATA (Video Storage) drives can also create a problem due to the DATA
files constantly being updated and written to. The virus software will attempt to rescan these files after each data change as video is being saved.
