IVG400-N are included in this guide. Client software is used for accessing the IVG400-N unit remotely in order to view video and events and control the system in various ways. SerVision’s next-generation client application for PCs, SVCentral, offers a full range or features for viewing and working with digital video streams created by the IVG400-N.
Cameras and other peripherals (sensors, activators, an HDMI monitor, etc.) are not included in the IVG400-N package. Only cameras that support the ONVIF protocol can be used with the IVG400-N. In addition, PoE (Power over Ethernet) is supported for up to four cameras. If more cameras are required, please contact technical support for information about connecting them to the system.

Installing the IVG400-N Unit The IVG400-N unit can be installed vertically or horizontally. If it is installed vertically, or it is installed on a moving platform such as a vehicle, it must be mounted using the supplied supports. If it is installed in a stationary location, it can be placed horizontally on a stable flat surface such as a table or shelf, and does not necessarily have to be secured.
It should not be installed in a closed location, such as in the trunk or dashboard, or under the paneling of a car. In buses and trains, the IVG400-N can be installed in an air- conditioning duct or in the compartment above the driver's seat.
The unit can connect to more than one type of external network at a time. This section explains how to set up the hardware so that the IVG400-N unit can connect to these networks. In order for the unit to connect to a cellular network or a WiFi access point, it must also be configured as explained below (pp.19-20).

The easiest way to open WebMax from a PC is to connect to the unit through the SVCentral client application and open it from there. Since you will most likely be using SVCentral to connect to the IVG400-N itself after it is installed and configured, in order to view video and other data, it is worthwhile installing it in any case.
Connecting a PC to the IVG400-N Unit In order to open the WebMax from a PC, the PC must be connected directly to the IVG400-N unit by means of a network cable. In addition, you must temporarily change the network settings of your PC to match those used by the IVG400-N unit.
