Introduction
What is the…
TransVu Compact ?
The TransVu Compact is a Digital Video Recorder and network server designed specically for
transport and mobile applications. Rugged solid state design is designed to resist the vibrations
generated within vehicles whilst standard connectors keep installation simple.
In addition to moving vehicle applications TransVu Compact is ideal for mobile surveillance, rapid
deployment and covert operations.
Vehicles – buses, taxis, vans, trains and heavy goods vehicles are ideal candidates for TransVu
Compact.
Rapid Deployment/Mines/High Risk Areas – the 8 to 17 volt supply voltage range and low current
consumption make the TransVu Compact product range ideal for remote CCTV applications, for
example in areas where solar panels with battery backup provides the only option for power, or
recording in mines, mine vehicles or other high risk areas where health and safety issues place
constraints on power supplies.
Part of the NetVu Connected product range, the TransVu Compact is fully network capable and
supports the Internet standard TCP/IP protocol. As the TransVu Compact is a mobile product the unit
can be accessed via wireless LAN or GSM / GPRS / CDPD / UTMS / HSDPA. Supporting up to four
video inputs, two audio channels, three alarm inputs and intelligent power management the TransVu
Compact is a powerful, cost effective transportation recorder.
The TransVu Compact range includes:
• 4 video inputs - removable micro SD Flash card (class 4).
System Documentation
The Installation and Operation of the TransVu Compact are detailed in the manual suite which
consists of:
• Quick Start Guide - Initial steps to get the TransVu Compact up an running to basic
operation.
• Installation Guide - Full instructions to install the TransVu Compact unit.
• Conguration and Operation Guide - Full conguration documentation for the
TransVu Compact.
This Conguration and Operation Guide will be divided into two parts, Initial Programming and
Operation.

with other NetVu Connected compatible products from Dedicated Micros including the DV-IP
Decoder, NetVu ObserVer and PDA Viewers. Providing interoperability between the worlds leading
security companies, NetVu Connected uses industry standard networking protocols supported by a
wide range of third party integration products and SDKs to ensure future on-going compatibility.
COMMON CONFIGURATION INTERFACE
A Common Conguration interface is displayed when the unit’s conguration screens are accessed
locally at the unit or remotely via a web browser. This unied system ensures that the installer is
familiar with the conguration screens irrespective of their location to the unit, minimising training
and familiarisation time and increasing the speed of installation and alteration.
The Unit includes a unique colour-coded menu structure and onscreen Graphical User Interface
(GUI). Context sensitive, the menu structure always represents the area of the menu the user is in,
allowing them to quickly select the options and settings they need without having to trawl through
menu pages and options. The colour coded buttons displayed on the monitor match those on the
touch screen front panel and IR Remote Control, whilst control can also be conducted through an
attached USB Mouse.

Point&go provides the user with easy to use, fast, accurate telemetry control via an attached
monitor. With no need for a telemetry keyboard, users are able to use Pan & Tilt control of a
Dedicated Micros Oracle Dome simply by clicking an area of the monitor. The camera will instantly
respond, positioning the selected area in the middle of the screen, ideal for tracking movement
through a scene.
MAP
Users can now navigate around their CCTV installation using a graphical map. Selecting the
relevant camera from the map will instantly connect the user to that cameras image stream. With the
ability to load bespoke map images and oor plans to reect their installations, the Maps feature is
ideal for quickly identifying camera locations around a site or CCTV network.

Accessing & Conguring the Unit
The unit can be congured either on the local monitor or over the network using a PC with Internet
Explorer or similar browser. Both have near identical menu interfaces.
Accessing the menus on a local monitor
The Conguration pages can be displayed on a local monitor (refer to ‘Installing The Unit’ for
guidance on connecting a local monitor). When a monitor is successfully connected, use a
USB mouse and move the pointer to the bottom of the screen. The navigation colour bar will be
displayed. Select ‘Next’ until the ‘Menu’ option is displayed. When ‘Menu’ has been selected, the
unit’s Conguration pages will be displayed.
Accessing the menus on a PC web browser
Locating the Unit IP address
The IP address of the unit is required to access the webpages. It can be identied from the
conguration menu pages using the local monitor. Follow the procedure detailed above and navigate
to the Conguration Menu:System Settings->System menu to nd the DHCP assigned IP address.
Note: The unit can be installed in a DHCP network environment where an IP address, subnet mask and
default gateway will automatically be allocated from the network DHCP Server (DHCP is enabled
by default).
Note: If a DNS (Domain Name Server) address is not to be used, it is strongly advised that a xed IP
address be assigned (a DHCP assigned address can change without notication i.e. following
power failure).
A xed IP address can be assigned via the Conguration Menu:Network Settings
->Network menu.
Default DNS Address
It is recommended that a DNS (Domain Name Server) address be congured. Assigning a
recognisable name can help a remote user to locate the unit.
If no System name is allocated to the unit, the default DNS address will be:
machine serial number.yourdomain.com
• <machine serial number> is displayed in the System menu page and also on
the underside of the unit.
• <yourdomain> is the name assigned to your DNS network.
The default DNS address can be renamed via the Network Settings->Network menu. Following
renaming, the DNS address will be:
yourname.yourdomain.com
• ’ yourname‘ is the name assigned via the Network menu.
• <yourdomain> is the name assigned to your DNS network
Note: To activate an assigned DNS address, it will be necessary to reboot the unit. The unit can be
rebooted via System Settings:>Maintain-> Reset.
IMPORTANT: To set the time and date on the unit, navigate to System Settings
->Time and Date.
