Center V2 vs. Control Center



Center V2 – DVR connects to the Center V2 server; therefore, if connecting remotely, you would need to make sure ports are forwarded to point to the Center V2.



Center V2 records additional video into the Center V2 server, the videos are independent from the DVR
When Center V2 registers motion events, you may be able to double click on event to open up a template for documentation and timestamp
Center V2 is designed to support 500 DVRs and 800 channels of video, but in reality the maximum view at one time is only 42 channels on a dual monitor setup. When more than 42 channels are available in the Center V2, you will need to scroll to the next page to see more videos.
The Center V2 is best used when you know the percentage of concurrent camera going on motion detection at one time. For example, if you have 160 channels of video and only 20% of the camera concurrently having motion detection, you are actually using only 32 (160 x 20%) of the 42 channels able to be displayed.


Control Center – The Control Center connects to the DVR so the port forwarding is done on the DVR side.



Each Control Center Server may support up to 4 matrixes. Each matrix coordinates may offset up to 4 different monitors. If the video card and monitor supports high resolution, each matrix is able to display up to 96 channels, otherwise each matrix is only 64 channels. If 96 channels is used the maximum channel per Control Center Server is 384 channels at one time.
The way the channels are added to the matrix is through creating folder and adding cameras in to the folder. The way the camera is displayed in the matrix starts from the top left hand corner and makes a clockwise swirl towards the center.
The Control Center Server may use Remote Desktop or Remote DVR to connect to the DVR and make configuration changes.
There is not upper limit to the number of DVRs the Control Center can connect to only limit is at the matrix.
Control Center may also pull up the DVRs view log and remotely view recorded video of the DVR system. The Control Center does NOT make additional recording.]]>

Throughout this write-up I will be using the v8.1.1 software, but the steps are very similar for older version software.

First we will be at the main system interface and select viewlog:


Optional, you can change the view of the cameras to single, quad or multiview (i.e. all channels). In this case, I’m going to do quad view:


Now we are going to select the timeframe of events we wish to extract. You can select as few as a couple of minutes to as long as a few days. In this case, I’m just selecting a few minutes:


Now I will right click on the selection and choose “Save as AVI”:


I will be given the “Save AVI File” panel that will display that beginning video frame and the ending video frame along with some other options:


Next, I will click on the “Setting” tab and confirm that cameras I wish to export video from our clicked on the right and most importantly I will check the “Save as exe” option:


Now I will click on the “Avi View” tab and click on the button with a series of dots to locate where I want to save the file. Here you can also rename the file to something that is more suitable.


Once I click on save, then OK (to exit the save avi panel), the videos will start to merge. Please note that the amount of video content you merge greatly affects this process. For example, days of video will take a longer time to merge than minutes of video. The same factor applies to resolution of the video source (higher resolution takes a longer time). In my case, it took roughly 30 minutes because the content was recorded at a high resolution.


Once the merge has completed you will be able to locate the executable file where you decided to save it. In my case, I decided to save it on the C: drive.


Since this is saved as an exe, you will be able to play it on any computer regardless of having the GeoVision codec installed or not. When you double click on the exe file you will see the uncompressing bar. Please note that the amount of video content exported will vary in the time length of uncompressing.


Once the file is fully uncompressed, all the channels you decided to export will be displayed on one screen through Windows Media Player. Some screen will be blue or blank because during that timeframe no video content was recorded. You can also confirm the date and time with the timestamp on the lower left corner.

These steps will give you a basic overview on how to configure your standalone DVR (i.e. ST-410) to relay video over a network connection so you can view it from a computer remotely (via web browser). Before I began, I will assume you know how to setup port forwarding on your router if necessary. If you do not know how to do this, consult the user manual or manufacturer of your router (or even your ISP).

First you will access the menu (default password – 1234) and choose system setup (1)
Next, you will choose network setup (6), then LAN setup (1). You have a choice of either leaving DHCP on or off. In most cases DHCP is let on by default, however if you need to assign a static local IP address to the DVR server, its recommended to turn DHCP off and manually assign the IP, netmask, gateway and DNS address to the standalone DVR. Afterwards, select network restart (7) and choose ‘yes’.

On a computer connected within the same network, you can open Internet Explorer and type in the IP address assigned to the DVR (i.e. http://192.168.1.101). You should see a black page and an information bar requesting to install active-x controls. Upon success, you should be able to view all the cameras and have various options on the top and left portion of the screen.

Now to configure DDNS, you will have to go to the DDNS setup and enable DDNS. The hostname is any name you wish to give to the DVR (i.e. shopdvr) .ddns.iview-ddns.com. The DDNS port by default is ‘80’, however if your having issues viewing this remotely (ISPs are known to block port 80), then you will have to change the port number and setup the proper port forwarding on your router. Next, you will choose submit/update to update the latest information. The default address you would type in the address bar would be *hostname*.ddns.iview-ddns.com where ‘*hostname*’ is the name you assigned to the DVR. For example, since I named the DVR “shopdvr”, the address is shopdvr. ddns.iview-ddns.com . If you changed the port number to something other than 80, then your address will be *hostname*.ddns.iview-ddns.com:*port number you assigned*. For example, I decided to use port 82, so my address would be shopdvr. ddns.iview-ddns.com:82]]>

The tracking moment is not "smooth" and rather jerky, also its only recommended for tracking small objects in a wide area. If the object is too close to the camera, the software can not cope and the camera's tracking is confused. You also need to have a stationary camera, and a PTZ pointing to the same area. This ultimately means more hardware is required. When you manually configure the desired zoom level (once tracking an object), the camera will stay in that zoom level even when the object it out of site.
