Physical installation

This section describes how to install the recorder.

Installation environment

When installing your product, consider these factors:

• Ventilation

• Temperature

• Humidity

• 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 recorder. Do not install the unit on top of other hot equipment. Leave 44 mm (1.75 in.) of space between rack-mounted NVR units.

Humidity: 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.

Unpacking the recorder and its accessories

When you receive the product, check the package and contents for damage, and verify that all items are included. There is an item list included in the package. If any of the items are damaged or missing, please contact your local supplier.

Items shipped with the product include:

Live view

Live view mode is the normal operating mode of the unit where you watch live images from the cameras.

Web browser live view

The recorder web browser lets you view, record, and play back videos as well as manage all aspects of the recorder from any PC with Internet access. The browser’s easy-to-use controls give you live view to all the recorder functions. See Figure 5 on page 19.

You can watch up to 16 cameras in live view simultaneously. Note: You must run Microsoft Internet Explorer as administrator. The recorder has three different stream types. You can select the best stream type to type your

needs.

Table 2: Stream types

Stream type Description

Main stream Use main stream for live viewing and recording with high resolutions and

bandwidth. It delivers high resolution video for local HDD recording and storage.

Substream Use substream when there is a bandwidth limitation in realtime

streaming. It delivers a low or standard resolution video for remote viewing, such as when using a smartphone application.

Transcoded stream Use transcoded stream for remote live viewing and playback when there

is a bandwidth limitation over the web client. You can reduce the resolution, bitrate, and frame rate of the original stream so that it better suits a low bandwidth.

The recorder transcodes the original stream before sending it over the web. In Auto Mode, if the original stream is 1080p or higher, the resolution of the tran scoded stream will be 1080p. If original stream is less than 1080p, the resolution of the transcoded stream will not change.

Playback functionality

The recorder lets you quickly locate and play back recorded video. There are three ways to play back video:

 Web bro wser  TruVision Navigator  TVRMobile

You can search video by specific time, events, motion detection, bookmarks, or snapshots (see Chapter 7 “Searching files” on page 33 for further information). Video can be played back from up to 16 cameras simultaneously.

The recorder continues to record the live view from a camera while simultaneously playing back video on that camera display. You must have the access privilege to play back recordings (see “Customize a user’s access privileges” on page 106 for more information).

Overview of the playback view

The playback video can be set up to display a time/date stamp for evidentiary purposes (see “Camera OSD” on page 53).

Note: Greyed out cameras are cameras that are not, or are no longer, connected to the recorder. As such, they may not contain recordings. However, every channel can be selected as channels that were connected in the past might still have associated video recordings.
