You can add hardware to a Multi-Media DVR at any time. Multi-Media software is then
used to make Multi-Media DVRs aware of the hardware. The steps to do so are outlined
in the road map, below.
Road Map for Adding Hardware
After testing the connection from an operator PC to a Multi-Media DVR, power down the
DVR, then:
1. Place the DVR and its camera(s) in their operational locations, and power-up the
DVR.
2. Use the View application to run a Maintenance session at the site to specify other
(optional) hardware connected to the Multi-Media DVR, such as: extra cameras,
gates controlled by a Multi-Media operator, and heat sensors.
Aside from cameras and communications, a Multi-Media DVR can interface with many
different types of hardware, such as:
• Sensors: motion, heat, alarm, and so on.
• Relay triggered devices: locks, gates, warning sirens, and so on.
• Alarm panel: a fault relay offers a means to monitor the DVR operational status,
using an external device.
• Point-of-sale (POS) hardware, using text messaging over serial communications, or
other device.
When planning where to place the DVR, inform your planning authority about:
• Allowing for access to the DVR, if maintenance is required, yet preventing easy
criminal tampering with the system.
- and -
• Environmental factors that can hamper the DVR, such as: lack of ventilation, dust,
condensation, and excessive heat or cold.
To secure the DVR:
1. Select a secure, clean, well-ventilated area for the Rapid Eye Multi-Media DVR.
