SETUP OVERVIEW  
The Setup options allow you to optimize the IPR unit by adjusting things like camera names,  
reboot schedules, recording schedules and more. It is extremely important that you setup the  
IPR correctly for several reasons.  
•
Recording Schedules – By optimizing the recording schedule you can increase the  
amount of pertinent recorded video that is saved on the IPR and keep it longer. You  
can optimize the type of recording done by adding motion detection to this as well,  
again increasing the amount of useful video.  
•
•
IPR Access – By setting up the access passwords you can tightly control the types of  
access an individual may have. This ensures the security and integrity of the IPR unit.  
Camera Naming – By naming each camera you can easily identify the location and  
any other pertinent information that may be helpful simply by viewing it on the Video  
Display Area.  
•
Adjusting Camera Color – By adjusting each camera’s color settings you can  
optimize the clarity and detail that is recorded.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME  
The IPR automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time changes. When the hour “jumps forward” no video is lost because an hour is  
skipped. However when the hour “falls back” there is a duplicated hour that under normal circumstances would be recorded over. The  
Surveillix IPR actually records both hours and allows the user to select which hour to play if the need arises.  
To access the ‘lost hour’:  
1. From the Search screen, click the Calendar button.  
2. Select the date when Daylight Saving time ‘lost’ an hour. The Daylight Saving  
option appears.  
3. To play back the ‘lost hour’, select the Daylight Savings option.  
4. Click OK to confirm the date and begin playing the video using standard search  
features.  
SAVE TO JPG OR AVI  
The IPR can export single images in the Image file formats and save video clips in an .AVI format. Both .JPG and .AVI file formats are  
the most commonly used graphical formats today. Virtually every computer offers some type of support for these file formats which  
make them the most ideal formats to use.  
JPG Optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale photographic images, .JPG images are 24-bit (16.7 million color) graphics.  
Use .JPG to export a single image or frame.  
AVI  
.AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but it is typically compressed using a Windows-supplied or third party  
compression and decompression module called a codec. .AVI is used to export a video clip.  
1. From the Search screen, click the Save button.  
2. Select the Export Type: Image File (JPG) or AVI File  
NOTE: Different image format types provide different file-sizes, quality  
and compatibility  
Image File  
a. Select Quality - 50>100. When size is not an issue, set the  
quality to 100.  
AVI File  
a. Enter the duration (seconds) to record. Although 100 is the  
longest time displayed, a longer recording may be entered  
manually.  
b. Select a Compression Codec. Each codec provides different  
levels of quality, compatibility and file-size.  
c. Select Quality - 50>100. When size is not an issue, set quality to  
100.

PREVIEW SEARCH  
Preview Search can be used in a number of circumstances to quickly find an exact moment where an event, such as a theft, occurred.  
The Preview Search gives a 24 Hour visual overview of a single camera by separating a 24 hour period (1 day) into 24 images, one  
image for each hour of the day. The search can then be further narrowed down into ten minute increments and one minute increments  
by selecting one of the images displayed.  
These example images show how the Preview Search functions.  
The first screen that appears has 24 images displayed. Each image represents the first second of each hour. If there is no image  
recorded during that period then nothing will be displayed.  
When an hour is selected (by double clicking on the image), a new screen appears with 6 images. Each of these images represents a  
10 minute segment of video within the selected hour.  
Once a 10 minute segment is selected (by double-clicking on the image) the final screen appears which breaks down that 10 minute  
segment into 1 minute increments (10 images).

PAN / TILT / ZOOM OVERVIEW  
The PTZ controls within the IPR allow for powerful control over the cameras. This can be extremely beneficial by increasing the  
usefulness of the recorded video. Using the PTZ controls you can create custom preset configurations that can continuously sweep  
across large areas.  
SETTING UP A PTZ CAMERA  
Setting up a PTZ Camera is simple. The IPR comes preassembled with an internal PTZ adapter. The cabling may be run up to 2,000 ft  
using 22 Gauge Twisted Pair.  
It is important to understand how the PTZ connects to the IPR. The IPR outputs an RS-232 signal and converts in to an RS-422/485  
signal which is then sent to the PTZ camera.  
Attaching the PTZ Adapter  
Refer to the Connections section of this manual for information on connecting the PTZ camera to the IPR  
Enable the PTZ Settings  
1. Inside the IPR PTZ Setup, select the PTZ camera using the Camera Channel list.  
2. Enable the PTZ functions of the camera by placing a check in the Enable Pan/Tilt check box.  
3. Select the appropriate Protocol and set the PTZ Driver Address and Serial Port Settings (See Advanced PTZ Setup in the  
chapter).  
NOTE: The majority of major PTZ manufacture protocols are included in this software. Refer to the Supported PTZ Protocols list in  
this manual.  
4. Click Apply and Exit Setup.  
5. From the Main Display Screen select the PTZ button (See the chapter on IPR Basics) The PTZ Controller will open.  
6. Select the PTZ camera to control by clicking on its video on the main display screen. The camera number will appear inside the  
PTZ controls.  
7. Using the PTZ controls, move the PTZ around.

PTZ Address Settings  
Some protocols support software address settings.  
The RX Addresses and ID settings are compatible with a particular  
line of receivers that support 2 ID addresses  
The PT Driver Address is associated with the PTZ ID address set on  
the camera. The addresses must match for the IPR to communicate  
with the proper PTZ camera. This is especially important when a large  
number of PTZ cameras are connected to the IPR.  
NOTE: To select a PT Driver Address of 129-254, manually enter the  
ID in the box.  
ACCESSING PTZ MENUS  
Some protocols support the ability to access the  
Internal PTZ Onscreen Menu  
Since every PTZ camera is different, the functions of  
these options can vary slightly.  
Arrow buttons  
The Surveillix IPR provides an easy way to access  
the cameras options. For explanations of what those  
options are please refer to the manual that came with  
the camera  
NOTE: Use the arrow buttons on the PTZ controller

BACKUP OVERVIEW  
The IPR can easily backup important video data to an internal or external media location. The most commonly used forms of this are  
CD-R/RWs, External USB or FireWire Hard Drives, and Network Drives. Every IPR comes standard equipped with a DVD±RW drive,  
USB port, and Network Adapter.  
The IPR is capable of performing a backup to multiple DVDs when the file sizes exceed the capacity of a single disk. You may also  
specify multiple locations for backup as well as the order they are recorded to.  
The IPR backs up video data using a proprietary compression format that can only be read by the IPR Backup Viewer Software. This  
ensures the integrity of the data.  
Throughout the backup process the IPR will continue recording without interruption. This is the result of the tremendous multiplexing  
power of the IPR which allows it to perform virtually all functions without disrupting the recording process.  
NERO® EXPRESS  
The IPR uses Windows® XP® Embedded running Nero Express 7 to write data to the DVD±RW Drive. This solution allows the IPR  
software to read and write data to the DVD-ROM Drive without the requirement of formatting the disk first.  
CAUTION: Although many features are available within Nero, it is highly recommended that you do NOT  
use any features other than those necessary for the standard backup of video data as outlined in this  
section, loss of information or software instability may result.  
BACKUP CENTER OVERVIEW  
The Backup Center allows you to back up recorded video data from multiple dates and times to one or more locations including the  
DVD-ROM drive, Network Storage Locations, and External Hard Drives.  
NOTE: USB performance is reduced during backup to preserve resources for recording.

Overview  
Configuring TCP/IP Settings  
Connecting to a LAN  
83  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
LAN OVERVIEW  
The IPR unit can easily be connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) and uses Microsoft’s® powerful and secure Windows® XP  
Embedded operating system. This allows for easy and well-documented instructions on setting up LAN connections no matter what  
type of LAN you want to use.  
A LAN is a group of computers and other devices dispersed over a relatively limited area and connected by a communications link that  
allows one device to interact with any other on the network.  
Examples of LAN connections include Ethernet, Token Ring, cable modems, DSL, FDDI, IP over ATM, IrDA (Infrared), wireless, and  
ATM-emulated LANs. Emulated LANs are based on virtual adapter drivers such as the LAN Emulation Protocol.  
There are many reasons why using Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded is superior to other platforms when running on a LAN. The  
number one reason is security. Windows XP Embedded is based on NT technology, which, historically has boasted the most reliable  
and secure Operating System in the world. Running the IPR on a secure network is important to prevent unwanted users from gaining  
access to confidential information. Unwanted users can compromise the integrity of the confidential data being stored and viewed, and  
in extreme circumstances can cause irreparable damage to the network.  
Since connecting the IPR unit to a network can be extremely complex (depending on the network), this Surveillix IPR manual will  
cover only the basics. It is suggested that the administrator consult a Vendor or IT Administrator before attempting to create or  
connect to a LAN.  
CONNECTING TO A LAN USING TCP/IP  
The networking options of the IPR unit can create and edit all Network settings available on Windows XP Embedded. The IPR unit  
comes equipped with a 100/1000 Gigabit NIC. This card uses a standard RJ-45 connector.  
The IPR unit comes preconfigured to retrieve an IP Address from a DHCP Server. These settings will work for many users. If these IP  
settings are sufficient then re-configuring TCP/IP will not be necessary.  
Configuring TCP/IP Settings  
1. Click the Exit Button and Select Restart in Windows Mode.  
2. Right-click on the My Network Places icon located on the desktop and select Properties. The Network Connections window  
opens.  
3. Right-click Local Area Connections and select Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties window opens.  
4. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) by clicking on it once. Once it is highlighted, select the Properties Button. The Internet  
Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window opens.  
5. Select Use the Following IP Address option. Enter the IP Address and Subnet mask appropriate for the network. It is  
recommended to contact the Network Administrator for appropriate IP settings.  
Example:  
a.  
b.  
Common IP addresses are 10.0.0.25  
Common Subnet masks are 255.255.255.0  
NOTE: In order to connect to the IPR unit through a remote LAN connection, a static IP address must be assigned. If the network  
assigns the IP address automatically (DHCP), contact the Network Administrator for help assigning a static IP address.  
6. If the network requires you to specify the DNS information, enter it now by selecting the appropriate DNS options.  
7. When finished configuring the TCP/IP settings close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window by clicking the OK Button.  
8. Close the Local Area Connection Properties window by clicking the OK Button.  
9. It may be required to restart Windows for the changes to take effect. Restart windows by selecting START on the desktop and  
selecting Restart.

REMOTE SOFTWARE OVERVIEW  
The IPR was specifically designed to be fully operated and maintained remotely. It connects using the standard TCP/IP protocol  
thorough connection types such as DSL, Cable Mode, T1, ISDN, 56K Modem, LAN, and more. The Surveillix Remote software allows  
you to view live video, search through archived video, export images and video clips and have virtually full Setup control.  
Highlights:  
Search archived video  
View live video  
Export images and video clips  
Control relay outputs  
Setup administration  
Basics:  
The IPR can have up to 5 simultaneous remote connections. Each user can perform functions on the IPR and will not affect the other  
users. The only exceptions to this are accessing Setup and controlling a PTZ camera. Only one user is allowed to access setup or  
control a PTZ camera at any given time. The pictures per second passed to the Remote Client vary greatly depending on the  
connection type and speed.  
In order to log in to the IPR server, a user account must be made for the user. This ensures that only authorized personnel are  
allowed to log in. In addition, each user can be assigned different privileges that allow them or deny them access to different  
functions. For example, a user can be denied Searching and Setup privileges and only granted access to view cameras 4, 8 and 16.  
It is highly recommended that users not be granted Setup privileges since this can pose a security risk.  
Only properly authorized Administrators should have access to Setup.  
The Remote software operates virtually the same way as the IPR itself. The appearance of it matches the IPR almost identically;  
however, there are a few minor differences. Some search features are not available (such as the Index and Object Searches) as well  
as some Setup options.

BACKUP VIEWER OVERVIEW  
The Backup Viewer allows you to play back the exported video in its proprietary format. Video saved in this format is extremely

The Backup Viewer operates essentially like the Search portion of the IPR software.
