4.2 EMERGENCY AGENT

The Emergency Agent software is a utility that streams video across a Local Area Network to a Client PC, when an alarm is detected on the

NVR. The video that streams across can be stopped or 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 NVR. When an alarm signal is detected, the

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

To enable the Emergency Agent on the NVR, follow these steps:

On the Display Screen, select Setup.

Select the Camera Setup button.

Select a Camera and then associate Sensor(s) to that camera, using the Sensor Connection checkboxes. Click Apply.

Click the Network Setup tab and make sure that Disable Remote Control is cleared. Note: The Emergency Agent uses one port to

transfer the data through the Emergency Port. The port can be adjusted inside the Network tab, if necessary. It is recommended that

the default setting be used, unless the port must be changed.

Click the Schedule tab. Enter the IP Address of the computer running the Emergency Agent software.

Check the box next to the IP Address to enable it.

Select the Sensor Radio button.

Create a schedule for the appropriate sensor.

Click Apply.
