CD-R/RWs, External USB or FireWire Hard Drives, and Network Drives. Every IPR comes standard equipped with a DVD±RW driv e, USB port, and Network Adapter.

The IPR is capable of performing a backup to multiple DVDs when the file sizes exc eed the capacity of a single disk. You may a lso

specify multiple locations for backup as well as the order they are recorded to.

The IPR backs up video data using a proprietary compression format that can only be read by the IPR Backup Viewer Software. This

ensures the integrity of the data.

Throughout the bac kup process the IPR will continue recording with out interruption. This is the result of the tremendous multiplexing

power of the IPR which allows it to perform virtually all functions without disrupting the recording process.

NERO® EXPRESS

The IPR uses Win dows® XP® Embedded running Nero Expres s 7 to write data to the DVD±RW Drive. This solution allows the IPR

software to read and write data to the DVD-ROM Drive without the requirement of formatting the disk first.

LAN / ISDN / PSTN CONNECTIONS

This chapter includes the following information:

• Overview

• Configuring TCP/IP Settings

• Connecting to a LAN

LAN OVERVIEW

The IPR uni t can easily be connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) and uses Micros oft’s® powerful and secure Windows® XP

Embedded operating system. This allows for easy and well-documented instructions on setting up LAN connections no matter what type of LAN you want to use.

A LAN is a group of computers and other devices dispersed over a relatively limited area and connected by a communications link that

allows one device to interact with any other on the network.

Examples of LAN connections include Ether net, Token Ring, cable mode ms, DSL, FDDI, IP over ATM, IrDA (Infrared), wireles s, and

ATM-emulated LANs. Emulated LANs are based on virtual adapter drivers such as the LAN Emulation Protocol.

There are ma ny reasons why using Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded is superior to ot her platforms when running o n a LAN. The

number one reason is security. Windows XP Embedded is based on NT technology, wh ich, historically has boasted the most r eliable and secure Operating System in the world. Running the IPR on a sec ure network is i mport ant to pr ev ent unw anted us ers fro m gai ning access to confidential information. Unwanted users c an c ompro mis e t he integrity of the confidential data being stored a nd v iewed, and in extreme circumstances can cause irreparable damage to the network.

Sinc e connecting the IPR unit to a network can be extremely complex (depending on the network), this Surv eillix IPR manual will

cover only the basics. It is suggested that the administrator consult a Vendor or IT Administrator before attempting to create or connect to a LAN.

CONNECTING TO A LAN USING TCP/IP

The networking options of the IPR unit can create and edit a ll Network settings available on Windows XP Embedded. The IPR unit

comes equipped with a 100/1000 Gigabit NIC. This card uses a standard RJ-45 connector.

The IPR unit comes preconfigured to retrieve an IP Address from a DHCP Server. These settings will work for many users. If these IP

settings are sufficient then re-configuring TCP/IP will not be necessary.

Configuring TCP/IP Settings

1. Click the Exit Button and Select Restart in Windows Mode.

2. Right-click on the My Network Places icon located on the desktop and select Properties. The Network Connections window

opens.

3. Right-click Local Area Connections and select Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties window opens.

The Emergenc y Agent software is a utility that streams v ideo across a Local Area Ne twork to a Client PC when an al arm is detected

on the IPR. The video that streams across can be stopped, played forwards and backwards, in slow motion or real speed.

The utility is loaded at startup and placed in the taskbar. It constantly monitors for a signal from the IPR. When an al arm signal is

detected the Emergency Agent Image Viewer window opens and starts playing the video from the camera associated to the alarm.

CAUTION: SCS and Emergency Agent are not compatible to run on the same PC. If you have SCS installed you do not need

Emergency Agent. SCS will perform the same alarm notification as Emergency Agent.

REMOTE SOFTWARE OVERVIEW

The IPR was specifically des igned to be fully operated and maintained remotely. It connects using the standard TCP/IP pr otocol

thorough connection types such as DSL, Cable Mod e, T1, ISDN, 56K M ode m, LAN, and more. The Surveillix Remote software al lows you to view live video, search through archived video, export images and video clips and have virtually full Setup control.

Highlights: Search archived video View live video Export images and video clips Control relay outputs Setup administration

Basics: The IPR c an have up to 5 simultane ous remote conne ctions. Each user can perform func tions on the IPR and will not affec t the other

users. The only exceptions to this a re accessing Setup and controlling a PTZ camera. Only one user is allowed to access setup or control a PTZ camera at any given time. The pictures per second passed to the Remote Client vary greatly depending on the connection type and speed.

In order to log in to the IPR server, a user account must be made for the user. This ensures that only auth orized personnel are

allowed to log in. In addition, each user can be assigned different privileges that allow them or deny them access to different functions. For example, a user can be denied Searching and Setup privileges and only granted access to view cameras 4, 8 and 16.

It is highly recommended that users not be granted Setup priv ileges since this can pose a security risk. Only properly authorized Administrators should have access to Setup.

The Remote software operates virtually the same way as the IPR itself. The app earance of it matches the IPR almost ide ntically;

however, there are a few minor differences. Some searc h features are not availa ble (suc h as the Ind ex and Object Searc hes) as well as some Setup options.
