DVR UTILITY SOFTWARE FEATURES

This software is a remote monitoring system for digital video recorders (DVR) and computer terminals that are connected via a network. It includes an extensive range of functions that are designed to make optimal use of the latest in technology and network features. It can cater to a wide variety of monitoring needs including ease of operation and system expandability.

● You can build a computerized monitoring network system simply by installing this software into a computer.

● Up to eight computers can be connected to control up to a maximum of 4000 DVRs.

● Menu settings and recording and playback operations are just a few of the DVR operations

that can be controlled across the network by a computer.

● Recording parameters can be set individually for each DVR.

● DVR image monitoring can be switched between a single screen and 4-screen multi screens.

If a 4-channel DVR is connected, images for a maximum of 16 channels can be viewed at once in a single screen.

● The system is provided with complete security features. Users that have access to the system are verified by means of a user ID and password, and four different user levels (ID1 to ID4) are available, with different operating privileges for each level.

SOFTWARE VERSION

Two versions of this software application are available. Upgrade the version if necessary. The descriptions given in this manual apply to both versions.

VA-SW814 VA-SW81LITE

Sold separately Standard version with full functionality

Accessories: Hardware key (USB type) Accessories: None

In order to activate all of the functions of this software, you will need to connect the hardware key to the USB port. If the hardware key is not connected, the functionality of the software will be limited. (P.10)

Included with this unit (DSR-M800PA/ DSR-M810P/DSR-M804/DSR-M804P) Lite version with limited functions

NETWORK CONFIGURATION

This system consists of DVRs, monitoring cameras and computer terminals that are used for remote monitoring. All devices in the system are connected through a dedicated local area network (LAN).

●

Applicable models:

DSR-M800/DSR-M800P/DSR-M800PA/DSR-M804/DSR-M804P/DSR-M810/DSR-M810P See “http://www.sanyosecurity.com” for models other than the above. Network configurations can include a combination of different models.

●

Number of DVR connections:

When using automatic setting mode for IP addresses: Max. 1000 DVRs (Up to 4000 DVRs can be connected depending on the subnet mask values.)

When using manual setting mode for IP addresses: Max. 250 DVRs

●

Number of computer terminal connections:

Max. 8 computers (1 master computer + 7 slave computers)

●

Applicable software:

If using this software (VA-SW814 or VA-SW81LITE) on the master computer, then the slave computers must also be running the same version of software. Older versions of the software (VA-SW800/804/80LITE) cannot be used with this software.

Slave computers that are running older versions of the software should be upgraded by installing this software. Once the software upgrade has been carried out, you can continue to use the same accessory hardware key as before (or enter the same serial number that was entered before if not using a hardware key). (P.8)

NETWORK CONFIGURATION

● Examples of IP address setting ranges:

(When using automatic setting mode and the subnet mask is set to the standard 255.255.252.0) Computer terminals: DVRs:

192.168.0.251 – 254

192.168.1.251 – 254

192.168.2.251 – 254

192.168.3.251 – 254

Distinction between “Master” and “Slave”

A master computer is a computer terminal that has operating privileges available for registering and deleting DVRs that are connected to the network. The default setting is for one master computer. In contrast, general computer terminals that do not have operating privileges for registering and deleting DVRs are called slave computers, and a maximum of seven of them can be connected. (P.20)

•

When using the software on a network, carry out the required network settings at the DVRs first. IP addresses will be assigned automatically, but the “DVR NAME” and “GROUP” settings can also be changed manually using a computer. (P.22)

•

You should make sure that the TCP/IP settings for the operating system (OS) that you are using match the computers that are connected to the network. (P.6)

•

Connect the devices to an independent stand-alone network. Furthermore, check with the network administrator to make sure that the IP addresses that you set do not conflict with IP addresses that are already in use by the network.

192.168.0.1 – 250

192.168.1.1 – 250

192.168.2.1 – 250

192.168.3.1 – 250

been added. Turning on mirroring is a backup option so that if the data recorded on one disk becomes corrupted for some reason, the data from the other disk that was recorded correctly can be retrieved instead.

Image range setting for downloading

●

When setting the image range, the end point

•

time (TO TIME) should be later than the start point time (FROM TIME). If the start point time is later than the end point time, an error message will be displayed when you click [APPLY].

If the end point time is set to “00:00”, it will

•

mean “midnight the following day”. Accordingly, you can download recorded images for a full 24-hour period by making the settings shown below.

If the days that have been set in “FROM

•

WEEK” and in “WEEK” in the “SCHEDULE” settings are the same, image data from the same day in the previous week will be downloaded on the day that downloading is carried out.

If the “WEEK” setting for “SCHEDULE” is set to

•

“DLY” and “FROM WEEK” is set to “APPT”, a

condition for the download to be carried out is that there must already be images that have finished been recorded on the same day as the download when the time for the download start point is reached. The end point for the range of images to be downloaded must be earlier than the download start time. If the end point for the range of images to be downloaded is set to be later than the download start time, an error message will be displayed.

Timer download setting example

●

The following recorded images will be downloaded automatically from DVR-1 on every Monday at 12:00.

Recorded images that have already been recorded during 1:00 – 10:00 on the previous Sunday (the day before).

Recorded images from 12:00 – 20:00 on the same day a week before, because the days that have been set in “FROM WEEK” and in “WEEK” in the “SCHEDULE” settings are the same.

Recorded images from the whole of the most recent Tuesday (0:00 – 0:00 the following day).

The following recorded images will be downloaded automatically from DVR-2 every day at 20:00.

Recorded images from 4:00 – 18:00 on the previous day.

Recorded images from the whole of the previous day (0:00 – 0:00 the following day).

Recorded images from 4:00 – 18:00 on the same day as the download.

4, 5

For both settings, recording of the images that have been specified for that day will

not be complete by the download start point of 20:00, so these timer download settings are not possible. The “FROM WEEK” setting should be changed from “APPT” (same day) to “PREV” (previous day), or the end time for the download range should be changed so that it is earlier than the download start point.

The filename for the saved data will be “(DVR

•

name)_(Starting date)_(Starting time).mp2”.

Example: DVR-1_20030623_1500.mp2

If the DVR name includes “/.*”, this will be replaced with “+”.

The timer download function cannot be

used if you are simultaneously viewing

four input screens that are being

controlled by the same PC, or if some

other PC is connected to the target

Once the MP2 Viewer is running, click on the toolbar (or select “Open (O)” from the File menu). The “Play List” window will be displayed, so queue the files for playback in this window and then open the file to be played back.

Grouping files that are saved separately If the size of a single file exceeds a certain value (approximately 600 MB), or if the file contains alarm recordings, the file will be split up automatically into several files when it is downloaded. However, when playing back a recording, it is more convenient for the files to be treated as a single file like they were before downloading, so the files are grouped so that they can be managed as a single download.
