3 The Main Server/ Sub Serve Architecture

One of the most advanced architecture design in NVRTitan is the Main Server/ Sub Server architecture. In the architecture, NVRTitan is not merely a single recording machine, but also a bridge linking with multiple NVRTitan boxes.

From the perspective of users, they do not need to connect to different NVRTitan boxes one at a time anymore. With NVRTitan, users can connect to just one NVRTitan to monitor the NVRTitan installed in multiple places. Refer to NVRTitan Server User Manual for details.

4 Log in

When the application is opened, you will see a log-in window. Please enter the server address you are going to connect to, the user name, and the password.

After entering the correct user and server information, you will see the main interface of the system.

If too many clients are trying to connecting to a remote server, then an error

message will pop up saying the number of maximum connections has been reached.

5 Log out and Exiting

1. To log out yourself from the system, please go to Menu / Log out.

2. If you make any change in the configurations, you may a dialogs

confirming if you want to update the modification when you log out. To update changes to server, please click the Yes button in the dialog.

3. A progress bar will appear to show the update status.

4. The login window will appear after the update is completed, and you are

logged out from the system when you see this dialog.

Both your primary monitor and secondary monitors will be closed when you log out.

5. After logging out, the system will still be running and stay in main memory.

To exit the system, please choose Exit.

6 Display version information

1. To show the version of NuClient, please click on About.

2. The dialog shows the version, the copyright information, and also the links

to NUUO’s homepage and its technical support site.

Live view can be opened in any of the 4 monitors, but Playback can run on the first monitor only.

3. The Time Zone section is for configuring the time zone of your computer.

You may use the default time zone or change it to any other zones. It also supports Daylight Saving Time.

8.4.2 User Interface

This set of parameters is for controlling what information and which dockable components to be displayed in the user interface. The options in User Interface are for configuring which information to be displayed in the status bar and in content title. In Customize tab, you can even select which dockable widgets to be displayed. You can refer to the configuration below.

The parameters under Status Bar are displayed in the status bar at the bottom of NuClient. Customized text allows you to type any custom information you want to show in the status bar.

 Audio: If the option is enabled, you will hear the audio of a recorded

video when you click on a camera.

A camera must have a microphone and audio must be enabled during recording so that audio can be heard in playback.

8.5 Export/Import Configurations

You may save the current configurations to disks and load saved configurations to the current system in order to save the time for setting system and for deploying configurations.

Configuration files are saved in UserHOME\NUUO.

9 Watch Live Video

In view area, you may add devices from Content List to the view area. You may add not only cameras, but also image fusion, E-Map, and I/O devices to the view area. Refer to the Configure View section to add view, camera, view tour, etc.

9.1 PTZ

PTZ is a mechanism for remote directional and zoom control. PTZ is an abbreviation of Pan, Tilt, and Zoom. Pan refers to horizontal movement of a camera; Tilt refers to vertical movement of a camera; Zoom refers to the change in focal lengths.

9.1.1 Optical PTZ

When you press the arrows and zoom-in/zoom-out, the view will be smoothly zoomed into / out of the area of interest.

Optical PTZ is the default PTZ mode as long as a camera supports it.

 Preset point: Preset points are saved PTZ configurations. When you

select a preset point, a camera will immediately be configured to the preset configurations.

Optical PTZ is supported only in Live View, while digital PTZ is supported both in Live

You may configure up to 16 preset points.

The names of preset may be scrambled if you input Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters. It is usually because cameras do not support those character sets.

9.1.2 Digital PTZ

In contrast to optical PTZ, Digital PTZ is an image-processing algorithm used to magnify each pixel you see in a video image. Since it is merely a software algorithm, digital PTZ is supported with any camera which NuClient connects to. Digital PTZ is supported both in Live View and Playback.

View and Playback.

There are three ways of using digital PTZ in NuClient.

 Draw a rectangle

1. You may draw a rectangle area in your view area. The covered area which

is surrounded dashed lines will be magnified and stretched to the whole view area. As soon as the rectangle is drawn, the view is smoothly zoomed into the area of interest.

2. In the corner, you may find a sub-window showing the full content of the

current camera.

 Use mouse wheel

1. Besides drawing a rectangle, it is even more intuitive to use your mouse

wheel to zoom in and zoom out. You may drag-and-drop the view area to change your viewport of the camera.

2. Likewise, a sub-window showing the full content will appear in the corner.

 Use the on-screen buttons

1. A set of control buttons are also available in PTZ controller if you do not

like the previous methods.

2. The button controls zoom-in and zoom-out.

3. The arrow wheel controls pan and tilt of the current camera.

4. The Home button will show the entire video image in one view area.

9.1.3 ImmerVision PTZ

ImmerVision lens is a 360° panomorph, a particular type of panoramic lens which allows you to monitor 360° of the area where a camera is set up. NuClient supports the PTZ mode, Quad mode, Perimeter mode of ImmerVision lens. For more information of the various modes, please visit the website of ImmerVision: http://www.immervision.com/

1. Log in to the unit.

2. Click IP Camera / Camera Parameters.

3. Click the Lens Settings tab.

4. Click the camera which you want to modify in the camera list.

5. Modify the information of this camera.

6. Click the Save button.
