5. After the installation is complete, the SVR Management Console is displayed. This dialog is used
to configure the location of data for the network recorder.
a. Under Available locations, all local harddrives and mapped network drives are listed. Select
a drive and click the arrow key to move the selection to the other column (Selected
Locations).
• If you are using network drives, it is recommended that a user account be created to
access those network drives.
• Mapped drives appear in the Available locations list, but will not function properly and
should not be used.
• To specify a universal naming convention path name, click <Other Location>. You
will then be presented with the option to type in the path or browse for the location.
• The following are supported:
iSCSI: Internet SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), an IP-based storage
networking standard for linking data storage facilities. Because of the ubiquity of IP
networks, iSCSI can be used to transmit data over LAN, WAN, or the Internet and can
enable location-independent data storage and retrieval.
SAN: (Storage Area Network). A high-speed special-purpose network (or subnetwork)
that interconnects different kinds of data storage devices with associated data servers on
behalf of a larger network of users.
NAS: (Network-Attached Storage). A hard disk storage that is set up with its own
network address rather than being attached to the department computer that is serving
applications to a network’s workstation users.
IMPORTANT: When recording to NAS, keep in mind that failures may occur due to lack of
bandwidth, or poor harddrive performance (for example, if several TruVision
SVRs are writing to the same drive location or same shared folder).
Each recorder requires its own dedicated space for storage.
b. Specify the name of the folder where the data is to be stored. If the name of the folder
specified does not already exist, it will be created.
c. Enter the amount of free space (in MB) to be maintained on each drive. If this field is left
blank, no free space will be maintained. The network recorder will always continue to record
by deleting the oldest video files if drive space becomes depleted.
Note: It is recommended to leave 10% of each storage drive free. Lower values may
negatively affect the performance of the recorder.
d. Click [Next].
6. The Security tab is used to display the current security settings applied, as well as the required
actions that need to be applied on the machine in order for SVR to operate successfully. Click
[Apply] to apply required Storage and Security settings.
7. The Results tab will display the status of the actions applied in previous steps.
8. Once you are finished installing the network video recorder, click [Finish]. If you wish to make
changes to these settings, you may do so at a later time from directory C:\Program Files\UTC
Fire & Security\TruVision SVR\SVR Management Console for a 32 bit system, or,
C:\Program Files(x86)\UTC Fire & Security\TruVision SVR\SVR Management Console for
a 64 bit system.
