Product overview

This is the TruVision DVR 30 User Manual for models:

• TVR-3008-500

• TVR-3008-1T

• TVR-3008-2T

• TVR-3016-500

• TVR-3016-3T

TruVision DVR 30 is a network digital video recorder developed for digital surveillance. TruVision DVR 30 (TVR 30) uses an embedded microcontroller unit (MCU) and Linux operating system, combining the most advanced technology in video and audio encoding/decoding, hard disk recording, and TCP/IP communication. The DVR’s firmware is stored directly into the memory, making it more stable and reliable.

The TruVision DVR 30 (TVR 30) is an integrated digital video recorder that combines the features of a time-lapse audio/video recorder, a multiplexer, and a video server to create a single security solution.

The TVR 30’s pentaplex operation enables users to view live video, search and play back any recorded video by date and time or by event, and back up the configuration and video data, without interrupting the ongoing DVR recording process.

In addition to the new H.264 compression mode, the DVR’s graphical user interface also optimizes the monitoring controls of the unit.

The TVR 30 comes with remote viewing and configuration software already installed. This software includes a Web browser plug-in, allowing users to view live or recorded video images, and enabling remote configuration. The remote software is stored in the TVR 30 and deployed over a LAN, WAN, or Internet connection to remote Windows-based computers. This simplifies the installation and maintenance of the software components because all remote users are using the same software, which comes from the unit.

Chapter 2: Installation

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 TVR 30’s operating temperature (32 to 104°F, 0 to 40°C) and humidity specifications (10 to 90% relative, noncondensing) before choosing an installation location. Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits may reduce the life expectancy of the TVR 30. Do not install the TVR 30 on top of other hot equipment. Leave 1.75 inches (44 mm) of space between rack mounted TVR 30 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 35 lbs (15.9 kg) may be placed on top of the TVR 30 only if the TVR 30 is placed on a shelf and not rack mounted.

Be sure to power off the unit before making any connections. In order to prevent the unit from losing data and system damage that may be caused by sudden power, use of an uninterruptible power supply is highly recommended.

Note: Do not remove the rubber feet, and always leave a space for air ventilation on

the unit’s bottom side.

Unpacking the TVR 30 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.

Connecting required devices

Before powering up the unit, cameras and a main monitor should be connected to the unit for basic operation. If needed, connect a spot monitor for displaying full screen video of all installed cameras in sequence.

Chapter 2: Installation

Note: You can attach an extension to the RS-485 port on the back panel.

Connecting external devices

When connecting external devices to include as part of the entire system, such as a USB drive or any other USB devices, connect those devices only when the unit displays live view. The TVR 30 recognizes external devices only after the unit has gone through the initialization process.

You can invoke the display interface from the built-in interface screens or from the mouse toolbar. The controls in any toolbox can be operated using the front panel, remote control, and mouse.

Web browser. The Web browser interface uses Internet Explorer to simulate the display and control functions of the VGA monitor on a remote PC. The Web browser interface can only be accessed by a PC with Internet access. See Chapter 5 “Using the Web browser” on page 41 for more information on the Web browser interface.

Controlling the TVR 30

You can control the TVR 30 using:

• Front panel control
