exacqVision Una Quick Start Manuals

Introduction

The exacqVision LC-Series is part of exacqVisions series of network video recorders (NVR). The exacqVision LC-Series Una NVR
provides high performance hardware with an exacqVision surveillance video management software.

Installation

Before turning on the exacqVision LC-Series Una server, ensure that you meet the following requirements.

Mounting and operating environment requirements

•
Mount the exacqVision server in a dust-free, and climate controlled location where the temperature is less than 70°F, and the
humidity level is less than 80% non-condensing.
Caution: Dust can cause components of the server to overheat, and elevated temperatures can contribute to premature hard
drive failures.
•
Place a surge suppressor between the camera and the recorder of all outdoor cameras.
•
If you are using an outdoor camera, the server must have a permanent connection to the ground
wire. Ensure that you use an 18 AWG wire or larger to make the connection, and that you label the
grounding screw near the power connector with the image in Figure 1.

Electrical environment requirements

•
For maximum reliability, connect the exacqVision server to an online UPS. An online UPS filters
power surges and dips that can damage the server.
•
Connect a mouse and a keyboard to the server.
• Connect the exacqVision server's Network Interface Card (NIC) to the appropriate network switch ports.
•
It is recommend to use cables with ferrite core for connecting to monitors. If the cable does not have a ferrite core, the unit still
performs as expected but may not meet CE safety regulation standards.

Configuration

After you turn on the exacqVision LC-Series Una Server, log on to the administration account using the following default credentials:
Username: admin
Password: admin256

Note: If the server does not connect, but you can confirm the server's ability to connect, check for anti-virus software on the
remote client machine that may block the communication between the server IP addresses and ports.
9. Change the default operating system administration and user accounts. For more information, refer to the
Manual, and www.exacq.com/kb.

Camera connections with EasyConnect

The EasyConnect feature automatically discovers, and configures most DHCP cameras. To connect cameras to the system,
complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that the cameras are in their factory default states.
2. From the navigation tree, expand Configure System, and select PoE Ports.
3. On the back panel of the server, plug the cameras into the PoE ports.
4. Monitor the PoE Ports window to ensure that the cameras configure and connect. The connection can take up to 6 minutes.
For more information on the connection status of the ports, see Table 1.

PoE ports in the LC-Series Una server

Before using the PoE ports on the LC-Series Una server, read the following information:
• Each port is a unique interface, and is not a network switch or hub.
•
Each port is a unique subnet, and you can connect only one IP camera.
•
Each port provides a DHCP addressing service to connect cameras.
•
Each port has an assigned IP address with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. For example, 192.168.2.1, or 172.16.5.61, or
exacqVision
10.16.2.21. The last value in the IP address (4th Octet) is usually the one that will be modified to assign a local address to a
device, along with sometimes the 3rd Octet (Subnet). These addresses will be supplied or assigned by a System Administrator.
