5. When you select the manufacturer, the fields that are required for discovering the device are displayed beside Properties. These vary and may include Advanced properties. Refer to the integration technical note for the specific manufacturer. 6. Enter the required information in the Properties fields. 7. Click Discover. 8. All devices matching the parameters entered are displayed under Unit(s) discovered. 9. Repeat steps 1 to 6, if required. Then click Done. Configuring the HDR 1800 Network Settings By default, theHDR 1800 is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enabled. If you have a DHCP server, the HDR 1800 automatically obtains an IP address upon initial startup from the DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not available on the network, the HDR 1800 assigns itself a temporary IP address based on the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) addressing format. The APIPA scheme allows a device to assign itself a temporary IP address until it receives a complete network configuration, either manually or from a DHCP server. Nextiva VMS does not support DHCP for Nextiva edge devices. You must use a static IP address that is outside the DHCP ranage. The fields displayed on the Network Settings tab vary according to whether you select a single device or multiple devices in the Device Discovery browser. © 2013 Verint Video Systems Inc. - Page 24 ► To configure the network settings 1. In Nextiva Control Center, click Device Discovery. 2. Select the HDR-P in the Device Discovery Browser. 3. Select the Network Settings tab. 4. Do one of the following depending on the state of HDR 1800: HDR 1800 in Partially Discovered Device state Edit the IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and Host Name, as required.

Page 27: Defining Video Sources
Defining Video Sources When you want to assign a camera to a monitor connected to the HDR 1800 on start-up, you first need to add the camera to the Nextiva Virtual Matrix. The Nextiva Virtual Matrix is a software-based solution that enables you to control CCTV equipment, such as PTZ keyboards and cameras, and create virtual matrices to automatically distribute live and recorded video, audio, and alarms across Local and Wide Area Networks (LANs/WANs). The Video Sources editor in the Virtual Matrix lists all of the cameras that are available. To add a camera to the Virtual Matrix, you assign a Video Source ID to the camera. ► To define video sources 1. Click System Components > Virtual Matrix > Video Sources. All cameras defined in Nextiva VMS are listed under Video Source Name. 2. Assign a video source ID to one or more cameras by doing one of the following: To assign a video source ID to a single camera, click a box to the left of the camera name. To assign video source IDs to multiple cameras, press and hold the Ctrl key while clicking each box to the left of the camera name. To assign video source IDs to all cameras at once, click the top-left box. 3. Click (Assign an ID). © 2013 Verint Video Systems Inc. -
Page 28: Defining Monitors In The Virtual Matrix
6. To modify a video source ID, in the Video Source ID column, click on an ID value, then overwrite the value. 7. Click Apply. Defining Monitors in the Virtual Matrix When a monitor connected to the HDR 1800 is defined and configured in the Virtual Matrix, you can use it to display video from cameras or configure it to display alarm video. They can view predetermined image sequences, video from multiple cameras on a single monitor (tours), and multiple tours at one time (salvos). The users can control PTZ cameras, assign cameras to monitors on demand, and simultaneously replay alarm-based video at multiple locations for redundancy and coordinated response. Note If no monitors are assigned in the virtual matrix, then camera video is displayed only in Review or WebReview. You can then use Review in conjunction with a CCTV keyboard to view camera video and to control PTZ cameras. Assigning Monitor IDs For an analog monitor to display video, it must be assigned a monitor ID in the Virtual Matrix workspace. When a monitor has an ID number, you can use that monitor in a camera tour or salvo, or to display camera video on the monitor using any CCTV keyboard. In a multisite deployment, the monitor ID value must not exceed 999. This value should not exceed the ID value of the site to which the monitor is assigned. © 2013 Verint Video Systems Inc. -
Page 29: Assigning Cameras To Monitors On Startup
To assign a monitor ID manually, type the number in the Monitor ID field. 4. Click Apply. Assigning Cameras to Monitors on Startup A monitor can be configured to display the live video from a particular camera when the monitor is turned on. ► To assign cameras to monitors on startup 1. Click System Components > Virtual Matrix > Monitors. 2. Select a monitor row. 3. Click the Startup Video Source drop-down list to view all cameras that are defined as video sources for this virtual matrix, then select the camera you want to use as a video source for this monitor at start-up. 4.

(Playback setting) Setting Up Screens When monitors are connected to the HDR 1800 decoder in the Nextiva site, you must configure how the monitors display video from the Virtual Matrix Screens editor of Control Center. Because the HDR 1800 allows you to view many video tiles on a single monitor, the following concepts are used. A screenrefers to the physical peripheral display device such as a CRT monitor, LCD monitor, or computer monitor. The following image shows the screen representation in Nextiva Virtual Matrix workspace. A monitor is an area of a screen that displays a single video feed. It is also referred to as a tile. Monitors can be displayed on a screen in various A layoutis the arrangement of multiple monitors on a screen. In Control Center, you can select the following layouts: 1x1, 2x2, 3x2, 3x3, 4x3, and 4x4. The following image shows a screen divided into a 4x4 grid layout that © 2013 Verint Video Systems Inc. - Page 35 Setting Up Screens comprises 16 monitors. The numbers indicate the monitor IDs. The default layout that appears when the HDR 1800 first starts up, is set in the Active Layout list. Many CCTV keyboards allow the operator to toggle between the different layouts by using the “next or previous layout” command. If a tile is currently displaying alarm video, and the user toggles to the next layout, the VM choose the next layout that keeps the alarm video visible. An alarm icon indicates that the monitor is set to display camera video associated to an alarm. To configure a monitor to display alarm video, add the monitor to an alarm monitor group. Any tile can display alarm video. If an alarm tile is hidden in the selected layout, then when an alarm comes in it is shown on the first available (visible) alarm tile. However, if no alarm tiles are visible, then the alarm video will not be displayed. For example, only tile 16 of a 4 × 4 grid is assigned to display alarms, and the layout is switched to 2 × 2, which does not display tile 16, then no tiles will display alarm video. For this reason, it is recommended that the first tile always be set to display alarms, so that even in a 1 × 1 layout alarms will display. © 2013 Verint Video Systems Inc.
