View, select a different Screen Division option from the Screen Division menu.
2nd Four Cameras View – Displays cameras 5-8 in the Video Display Area. To return to a different Multi-Camera
View, select a different Screen Division option from the Screen Division menu.
3rd Four Cameras View – Displays cameras 9-12 in the Video Display Area. To return to a different Multi-Camera

Camera View, select a different Screen Division option from the Screen Division menu.
Full Screen – The Full Screen Option allows you to view the Video Display Area using the entire viewable area on
the monitor. When this is selected, no menu options are visible. You can activate the Full Screen Option by clicking
on the Full Screen button within the Screen Division menu. You can deactivate Full Screen mode by right clicking
on the screen.
Auto Sequence – Sequences through the Screen Divisions sets. For example, selecting the 1A and then the Loop
button will sequence through 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A and then repeat.
By default, the recorder only allows live video from four network channels at one time on the local server. This protects the processor
resources for recording data. The SCS software allows you to view live video from multiple recorders at once and with the same
limitations that the recorder has on the number of live IP based video channels. If more than four channels of live video are required on
the local server, you can enable the recorder to show up to 16 channels. Be aware that displaying 16 channels of live IP based video is
resource intensive and may dramatically impact system performance.
To enable the recorder to view 16 channels of live video:
1. Click Exit on the Display screen, and then select Restart in Windows Mode.
2. Double-click the Edit Live View Channels icon on the desktop.
3. Click Yes, and then click OK.
4. The live view display will switch to 16 channel mode. To return the recorder to 4 channel mode, repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Double-click Surveillix Server to restart the recorder software.
The live view display will switch to 16 channel mode. To return the recorder to 4 channel mode, run the utility again using the same
instructions.
SCREEN DIVISION BUTTONS
Note When viewing live video from Network Cameras, only 4CH will display at one time. If more live view channels are required on the
local server, see the Edit Live View Channels instructions.
Note Local screen division options are limited to ensure optimal encoding performance.

SETUP OVERVIEW
Setup Options
The Setup options allow you to optimize your recorder by adjusting things like camera names, restart schedules, recording schedules and
more. It is extremely important that you setup your recorder correctly for several reasons.
Recording Schedules – Increase the amount of pertinent recorded video that is saved on the recorder by optimizing the
recording schedule. Optimize the type of recording done by adding motion detection to this as well, again increasing the
amount of useful video.
Camera Naming – Name each camera so the location can be easily identified and include any other pertinent information that
may be helpful when viewing it on the Video Display Area.
Configure Network Cameras – Connect to and configure cameras that are available on the network the recorder is
connected to.
SETUP MENU OVERVIEW
18
NETWORK CAMERA SETUP
Connect IP cameras to your recorder using a network switch, which is connected to the network port on your recorder. By default, your
recorder can display 4 IP camera channels in the Display screen. To change this setting, see the Edit Live View Channels section.
Note Your recorder is a hybrid recorder and, by default, does not require licensing. If you apply an NVR upgrade to your recorder, the
license tab will appear.
Connecting a Network Device
Connecting Manually
1. On the Display screen, click Setup.
2. Click Camera Setup, and then click IP Cameras.
3. Click Manually Add Camera.
4. Select the Vendor and Model of your network device from the Device Type list.
5. Type a Device Name.
6. Type the IP/URL address, Port#, User ID and Password of the device.
7. Click Add.
8. Double-click in the Channel field, and then select the Channel you want to assign to this camera.
9. Click Apply.
Note Audio is not supported when using ONVIF as the Driver/Type when connecting to IP cameras. If audio is needed, select the native
integration method to connect the camera.
32338AC 19
Connecting with Find Cameras
1. On the Display screen, click Setup.
2. Click Camera Setup, and then click IP Cameras.
3. Click Find Camera to automatically find all connected Network cameras.
4. Select the check box next to your desired camera.
5. Type the User ID and Password of the device.
6. Click Add Selected.
7. The camera will appear in the Camera Setup tab.
8. Double-click in the Channel field, and then select the Channel you want to assign this camera to.
9. Click Apply.
Naming Camera Channels
Surveillix recommends assigning a descriptive name to each camera channel for easy identification of where the camera is located. To
name your IP camera channels, follow these instructions.
1. On the Display screen, click Setup.
2. Click Camera Setup, and then click IP Cameras.
3. Click the Camera Setup tab.
4. Double-click the Device Name column for the camera you want to name.
5. Type a name for your camera.
6. Click Apply to save the name.
Assigning Dual Streams
Dual stream support enables you to take advantage of two different streams from an IP camera. One stream can be high definition
forensic video, while the other stream can be a lower resolution for live display. This allows SCS or Remote Viewer software to display
more cameras while utilizing lower bandwidth and less CPU usage.
The second stream is used for motion detection in the server, which lightens the processing load for centrally-managed motion detection
configurations
Dual streaming functions are limited to cameras that support this feature.
1. On the Display screen, click Setup.
2. Click Camera Setup, and then click IP Cameras.
3. Click the Camera Setup tab.
4. Choose which camera you want to configure, and double-click the Record Stream column.
5. Select which Stream you want to assign to be recorded.
6. Double-click the Transmit Stream column and choose the appropriate stream for remote viewing.
7. Click Apply to save your selections.
