Security Level
Note:
In Configuration mode, there is no registration of a camera fail. The cameras are either in a not
connected state or connected when present.
Note:
In Secure Mode, video sources are either successfully connected or port free. A configured
source that is not sending data will be registered as a camera fail.
NOTE: Secure mode should always be enabled once configuration is complete. If left in Configuration
mode the system will be insecure and vulnerable to attacks. A visible warning will be displayed on
the local viewer if Secure mode is not applied.

█
No video source currently connected to the port and nothing
assigned to that channel.
█
Analogue camera input using the BNC connection for this
channel on the back of the NVR. Analogue cameras take
priority over IP cameras when channels are being assigned; if
an IP camera is put into the port on the switch associated with
an a channel allocated to an analogue input, the IP camera will
go into the un-allocated camera list and the port icon will turn
orange to signify Duplicate Port Allocation (see below).
█
A single IP camera is connected directly to the port and will be
auto assigned to the channel.
█
A camera that has either ;
been configured manually independently outside Closed IPTV
or
is one of the cameras (above camera 1 of the encoder)
assigned by Closed IPTV by connecting a multi channel
encoder.
█
A port that is hosting a multiple channel input eg a connection to
a multi channel encoder. The cameras after this are treated by
the NVR as Single IP Assigned.
█
A port that has analogue and IP connection applied to it. The IP
source will be un-allocated.
A port which has detected a network connection but the type of
connected device is not recognised.
Select from Configuration Mode' or 'Secure Mode'.
In Configuration mode;
●
The security settings of all cascaded Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV
Switches can be globally edited
●
The configuration of all endpoints (video sources) connected to the
attached Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch can be globally edited.
Use this mode when configuring or adding additional servers to a
Closed IPTV system only. The switch is not secure in this mode, but it
allows the NVR to discover cameras and additional switches. Cameras
can be physically swapped around and configured by the user as
required.
In Secure Mode;
●
Closed IPTV security is enabled and the selected security settings
(determined by the configuration check boxes) are applied.
●
End points (video sources) will become trusted for NetVu
Connected Cameras.
When in this mode access is restricted by a number of techniques,
including Restrict between end points, Restrict Public Access, Restrict
multicast from general network and Lock ports by MAC (below).
