Product overview

Installation environment

The TruVision NVR 10 is a versatile, user-friendly embedded network video recorder (NVR) allowing end-users to record up to 16 cameras with a maximum total input bandwidth of 20/40/80 Mbps for 4, 8, and 16 channels, while providing integration with the UTC portfolio of security solutions, and offering a seamless product experience within the TruVision brand.

Its embedded PoE ports allow for a true plug and play setup for TruVision IP cameras where the recorder automatically assigns the IP camera with an IP address and sets it up at default configurations. Adding cameras was never easier.

Note: The non-PoE version of the NVR is not available in the Americas.

Its dual streaming functionality allows the user to set up different settings for recording and streaming video in live view mode using main and substreams.

The TruVision NVR 10 can be configured through the OSD, web browser, and TruVision Navigator via the SDK.

It can fully integrate with the license-free TruVision Navigator software, which is ideal for most commercial applications. TVN 10’s easy and intuitive-to-use web browser interface enables remote configuration and secure viewing, searching, and playing back of video from computers connected via the Internet.

Installation

This section describes how to install the TVN 10 unit.

Installation environment

When installing your product, consider these factors:

•Ventilation

•Temperature

•Moisture

•Chassis load

Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the unit is well ventilated.

Temperature: Consider the unit’s operating temperature (-10 to +55 ºC, 14 to 131 °F) and noncondensing humidity specifications (10 to 90%) before choosing an installation location. Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits may reduce the life expectancy of the NVR. Do not install the unit on top of other hot equipment. Leave 44 mm (1.75 in.) of space between rack-mounted TruVision NVR 10 units.

Moisture: Do not use the unit near water. Moisture can damage the internal components. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

Chassis: Equipment weighing less than 15.9 kg (35 lb.) may be placed on top of the unit.

Chapter 3: Getting started

Using the setup wizard

The NVR has an express installation wizard that lets you easily configure basic NVR settings when first used. It configures all cameras simultaneously. The configuration can then be customized as required.

By default the setup wizard will start once the NVR has loaded. It will walk you through some of the more important settings of your NVR.

Any changes you make to a setup configuration page are saved when you finish the page and return to live view.

Note: If you want to set up the NVR with default settings only, click Next in each window until the end.

To quickly set up the TVN 10:

1.Connect all the devices required to the back panel of the NVR. See “Back panel” on page 6.

2.Turn on the unit using the power switch on the back panel.

3.Select the preferred language for the system from the dropdown list and then click

Next.

4.Enable or disable the option to start the wizard automatically when the NVR is turned on. Click Next.

5.Administrator configuration:

Navigate to the Admin Password edit box and click the edit box with the mouse, or press Enter on the front panel or remote control, to display the soft keyboard. Enter the default admin password, 1234.

Note: You must enter an admin password. To change the Admin password, check New Admin password and enter the new password and confirm it.

Caution: It is strongly recommended that you change the password of the administrator. Do not leave 1234 as the default password. Write it down in a safe place so that you do not forget it.

If you should forget the password to your NVR, contact your supplier with the serial and model numbers of your NVR to obtain a secure code to reset your NVR.

If you wish to limit the admin rights to only one computer, enter the MAC address of the user’s computer. Otherwise leave the MAC address unchanged.

Click Next.

6.Time and date configuration:

Select the desired time zone, date format, system time, system date, and manual DST.

Operating instructions

Controlling the TVN 10

There are several ways to control the NVR:

•Front panel control

•Mouse control

•IR remote control

•TVK-800 keypad control (soon to be released)

•Web browser control

You can use your preferred control method for any procedure, but in most cases we describe procedures using mouse terminology. Optional control methods are given only when they differ substantially from mouse control methods.

Using the front panel

The function buttons on the front panel control can be used to operate many, but not all, of the main functions of the NVR. The LED indicators light up or flash to alert you of various conditions. The functions available can be limited by setting passwords. See Table 2 on page 16 and Table 3 on page 17 for more information.

Using the mouse

The USB mouse provided with the NVR can be used to operate all the functions of the NVR, unlike the front panel which has limited functionality. The USB mouse lets you navigate and make changes to settings in the user interface.

Connect the mouse to the NVR by plugging the mouse USB connector into the USB port on the front or back panel. The mouse is immediately operational and the pointer should appear.

Note: Use a USB 1.1 or higher mouse.

Move the pointer to a command, option, or button on a window. Click the left mouse button to enter or confirm a selection.

You can purchase a spare mouse by ordering part number TVR-MOUSE-1. See Table 4 below for a description of the mouse buttons.

Using the IR remote control

The NVR is supplied with an infra red (IR) remote control unit. Like the mouse, it can be used to operate all of the main functions of the NVR.

The IR remote control can be programmed with a unique device ID address so that the controller will only be able to communicate with NVRs with that address. No programming is necessary if using a single NVR.

The device ID address only applies when using a remote control and not when using a keypad.

You can purchase a remote control by ordering part number TVR-REMOTE-1 IR Remote Control.

Note: The IR remote control is a common accessory for multiple TruVision recorders. Consequently not all functionality listed for the remote control is available in the

TVN 10.
