Tyco Exacq A Series Quick Start Manual

A-Series IPS 2UA/F2A Quick Start Guide

Introduction

The exacqVision A-Series is part of exacqVision's series of network video recorders (NVR). The exacqVision A-Series, IPS 2UA and F2A provide high
performance hardware with an exacqVision surveillance video management software. The F2A IP model features greater storage capacity, an
optional RAID 5 disk configuration, greater video storage rate, greater number of hard drives, and a wider range of operating systems.

Installation

Before turning on the exacqVision A-Series 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 between 40°F to 95°F (4.5°C to 35°C),
and the humidity level is less than 80% non-condensing.
Note: Dust can cause components of the server to overheat, and elevated temperatures can contribute to premature hard drive
failures.
• If the hard drives dispatch separately to the system, insert each drive into the appropriate hard drive slot, if they are numbered.
• The server must connect permanently 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. Ensure this connection is made by a skilled individual.

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 keyboard to the server.
• Connect the exacqVision server network interface cards (NIC) to the appropriate network switch ports.
• Battery is replaceable by a skilled person.
• 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.
Network connection requirements
• If the video surveillance system does not have a physically isolated network, connect all IP cameras and one server NIC to a dedicated
camera VLAN.
• Install the camera manufacturer's software on a PC in this subnet, or configure the router to connect a client computer with the camera
subnet. For information on how to configure the network, see
• This VLAN configuration reduces the chances of network traffic conflicts and unauthorized access to the cameras.
