I N T R O D U C T I O N The Digital Video Recording (DVR) integration is an advanced feature that allows authorized P2000 users to manage camera functions from a P2000 workstation, as well as to link P2000 events and triggers to live audio-visual recordings.
The integration allows authorized users to manage camera functions, including frame rate and resolution, from a single P2000 workstation, as well as to tie an event generated on P2000 to live audio-visual (AV) recording. Depending on the DVR equipment used, it also enables the user to search, retrieve, and download real time or archived AV recording from any transaction or surveillance camera, from any place, at any time.
NSTALLATION OTES Do not install third party vendor's workstation or server software on the P2000 server. In addition, it is highly recommended that you do not install the third party DVR client software and the P2000 workstation software on the same machine.
The DVN 2000 protocol is not currently compatible with the P2000 SMS. Only one version of each protocol can be used within a P2000 system. Feature availability in P2000 depends on the set of features provided by the DVR manufacturer’s integration software.

A Nice test tool is supplied on the Nice Application Suite CD. This application performs some of the basic video communication functions as AV Player. The tool can be used only on a machine where the P2000 software has been installed with the Nice Codecs, so that the ActiveX controls can be registered.
DVR Integration Option Protocol Integration When installing the P2000 software on a workstation with the Nice Codecs, I get the following error message: “No IPP matching to examined CPU was found during the waterfall procedure.” The Nice protocol looks for an Intel PIII or higher CPU with MMX. The error message indicates you are using a workstation with a non-standard CPU.
All Nice recorders must synchronize time with the P2000 server. However, they cannot become P2000 clients directly. Instead, you need to configure the Nice AMS server as a client of the P2000 server. Then, you must synchronize Nice recorders with the Nice AMS server. The recommended configuration is illustrated in ...
1 account, the AV Player's PTZ camera control functions will be disabled on all P2000 workstations with level 2, 3, or 4 accounts until the level 1 user logs out. Alarms are not buffered on NVR, therefore the P2000 must be operational to receive ...
