TVG-Series System Guide v1-4 - SerVision

SerVision
TVG System Guide
Most TVG models can be used in conjunction with a CCTV monitor. The monitor can be used to view video from
the cameras connected to the unit. Instructions for viewing video on a CCTV monitor are included in an Appendix
to this guide (see Appendix A: Viewing Video on a CCTV Monitor (TV-Out), page 170).
Because this guide relates to a number of different TVG models, certain parts of the manual are only relevant to
specific models. Information that only relates to some of the models is color-coded in teal. For example, a
paragraph that is only relevant to the MVG and CVG-M models would appear like this:
This paragraph only relates to the MVG and CVG-M models.
If an entire section is only relevant for particular models, in addition to the color-coding, the beginning and end of
the section is marked and labels appear at the top of the section. The labels indicate the models for which the
section is relevant. For example, a section that is only relevant to the MVG and CVG-M models would appear like
this:
GPS
Only the MVG and CVG-M models support GPS position tracking.
Because the TVG models have slightly different features, their configuration is different in some cases. Screenshots
of the configuration utility that appear in this guide may be from a different model than the one you are configuring,
and may therefore not exactly match the screens you see. If the screen that is displayed differs significantly from
model to model, the name of the model from which the screenshot was taken appears in parentheses in the caption
below the screenshot.
About Client Software
Client software is used for accessing the TVG unit remotely in order to view video and events and control the
system in various ways. This guide includes a general overview of the MultiClient, SerVision’s PC-based client
software. SerVision also offers client software for certain cellular telephone and PDA models. Full instructions for
the use of the client applications are available in separate manuals:
• MultiClient User Guide
• W indows Mobile Client (SV ClientCE) User Guide
• Symbian S60 Client User Guide
• Symbian UIQ Client User Guide
Contact your vendor if you require any of these manuals or download them at http://www.servision.net.
Before You Begin
Before the TVG unit can be configured, the hardware should be set up as follows:
• The TVG unit should be installed and connected to a power supply.
• All the cameras and optional devices (sensors, activators, etc.) should be connected to the TVG unit and to
their power supplies, as necessary.
• A PC should be on the same LAN as the TVG or connected to the unit by a LAN cross cable.
