Power up<br />

To power the <strong>DVR</strong> up simply connect the external PSU, the <strong>DVR</strong> will then automatically<br />

power up.<br />

Once the <strong>DVR</strong> is powered up, the following conditions will be set:<br />

• The <strong>DVR</strong> will automatically start recording on all available channels, unless<br />

a channel is set to not record (disabled) or the schedule is set to limit<br />

recording to Motion Detect, Alarm Event or a Timed Schedule<br />

• The video loss alarm will not sound for any channels not used when the<br />

<strong>DVR</strong> is powered up. The video loss alarm will only become active once a<br />

channel has a video signal connected<br />

• The time and date the <strong>DVR</strong> was powered up will be recorded in the log<br />

• The <strong>DVR</strong> will be locked and will require a password to be entered before<br />

any user functions become available<br />

Power down<br />

To power the <strong>DVR</strong> down it is recommended that the power button be used. If the power<br />

is simply removed by unplugging the external PSU this can result in loss of some recordings<br />

and the power down not being logged.<br />

To power down simply press the power button on the front of the <strong>DVR</strong>. This will require<br />

a password with the correct access level. This prevents unauthorised use of the power<br />

button.<br />

The default engineer password is 888888<br />

The <strong>DVR</strong> will now power down in an orderly way, it will ensure that the latest video is<br />

securely recorded and that the power down time and date is logged together with the<br />

user name who initiated the power down.<br />

Modem Router Settings<br />

In order to view and operate the <strong>DVR</strong> over the internet you may have to change some<br />

settings in the modem router.<br />

The settings that require changing are called port forwarding. Unfortunately almost every<br />

router has a different method of setup so please refer to your modem router instructions<br />

or visit www.portforward.com. Here you will find detailed instructions on how to configure<br />

your modem router.<br />

The settings you will need to configure are as follows:-<br />

Forward port 5050 to local IP address e.g. 192.168.0.10 (the <strong>DVR</strong>)<br />

Forward port 6050 to local IP address e.g. 192.168.0.10 (the <strong>DVR</strong>)<br />

Forward port 80 to local IP address e.g. 192.168.0.10 (the <strong>DVR</strong>)<br />

Forward port 7050 to local IP address e.g. 192.168.0.10 (the <strong>DVR</strong>) for use with mobile<br />

phones<br />

UPNP<br />

Alternativlely, using UPNP (universal plug & play) you can configure the portforwarding<br />

automatically providing the router supports this feature and has it enabled. For more on<br />

UPNP see page 104.<br />

Viewing the <strong>DVR</strong> on Remote PC<br />

option 1 (PTZ Protocol) has been set.<br />

Settings for PTZ preset positions is optional but options 1,2 & 3 must be set and they must<br />

match the settings on the PTZ camera.<br />

1: Select Protocol<br />

This is the language that the <strong>DVR</strong> will use to communicate with the PTZ camera.<br />

Options<br />

• Pelco P<br />

• Pelco D<br />

2: Set Baud rate<br />

This is the transmission speed used to communicate with the PTZ camera. It is<br />

recommended that a slow speed is used as this will increase the reliability of the<br />

communication.<br />

Options<br />

• 1200 baud<br />

• 2400 baud (default)<br />

• 4800 baud<br />

• 9600 baud<br />

3: PTZ ID<br />

Each PTZ camera must have a separate ID this is set in both the PTZ camera and the<br />

<strong>DVR</strong>. e.g. If PTZ on channel 1 is set to ID1, set to ID1 in <strong>DVR</strong> menu, if PTZ is set to ID2, ID3<br />

etc, then set to corresponding ID in <strong>DVR</strong> menu.<br />

Options<br />

• 1 to 255<br />

4: PTZ Preset Setup<br />

You can use the <strong>DVR</strong> to set preset positions on the PTZ camera. It is not necessary to use<br />

the <strong>DVR</strong> if a joystick controller is used with the PTZ camera as setting preset positions can<br />

be set much easier using the joystick keyboard.<br />

Also only preset positions 1 to 16 can be set using the <strong>DVR</strong> but when using a joystick<br />

keyboard many more preset positions can be programmed, if the PTZ camera used will<br />

support them.<br />

Options<br />

• Set Preset 1 to 16<br />

Normal record settings<br />

Engineer Manual<br />

Inspire Silver <strong>DVR</strong> Range<br />

The Inspire range of <strong>DVR</strong>s have two settings for recording, Normal and Event.<br />

Normal record settings are used when the <strong>DVR</strong> is constantly recording or recording<br />

according to a time schedule.<br />

Event record settings are used if the <strong>DVR</strong> is reacting to a motion detect event or an alarm<br />

input event.<br />

This allows the <strong>DVR</strong> to be recording normally using one set of settings and if an event is<br />

detected the record settings will be changed for the duration of the event.<br />

Normal record settings have three categories, these settings affect the recording quality<br />

and HDD space used.<br />

1: Normal Record Quality<br />

This can be set to normal, high or super high.<br />

Normal will provide a good quality picture and is economical with HDD space.<br />

2: Normal Resolution<br />

The resolution has a large effect of the recorded quality especially if playback is in full<br />

screen. There are three settings CIF, 2 CIF and D1.<br />

• CIF is 360 x 288 pixels, this is equivalent to 1/4 a normal full screen.<br />

• 2CIF is 720 x 288 pixels, this provides approximately twice the detail as CIF but<br />

will require around twice the HDD space.<br />

• D1 is 720 x 576 this is full screen resolution recording it will give the best<br />

playback quality but requires up to four times the HDD space as CIF.<br />

3: Normal Frame Rate<br />

This setting will not affect the recorded quality but will adjust the number of frames<br />

recorded per second. Real time is 25 FPS. Reducing the frames per second will have<br />

the biggest effect on the amount of HDD used.<br />

A recommended setting for normal quality and good use of HDD space is:<br />

• Normal Quality<br />

• CIF Resolution<br />

• 12 Frames per second<br />

A recommended setting for very high quality and heavy use of HDD space is:<br />

• Super High Quality<br />

• D1 Resolution<br />

• 6 Frames per second<br />

Network type<br />

There are two types of network settings that can be used with inspire <strong>DVR</strong>s, Static IP and<br />

DHCP.<br />

Static IP is a manually assigned fixed setting.<br />

DHCP is where the network settings are assigned by a DHCP server on the network, this is<br />

usually a router.<br />

For most applications a static IP is best as this will not allow the network settings to be<br />

altered, and will prevent problems with access from a remote location.<br />

Network details<br />

If the network type is set to DHCP then these settings will be automatically set by the<br />

DHCP server.<br />

If the network type is set to Static IP then these details will need to be set manually.<br />

These settings need to be set in accordance with the network the <strong>DVR</strong> is being connected<br />

to, for help with this consult with the network administrator.<br />

IP address:<br />

Sub net mask:<br />

Gateway:<br />

Primary DNS:<br />

Secondary DNS:<br />

This is a unique address on the network the default setting is<br />

usually sufficient for most simple networks. However care should<br />

be taken to ensure that no other device on the network has<br />

the same address.<br />

This is usually set to 255.255.255.0 if this needs to be changed<br />

consult the network administrator.<br />

This is the IP address of the gateway to the internet, this is usually<br />

the router on simple networks and is usually set to 192.168.0.1<br />

This is the IP address of the domain name server, this is used<br />

to look up an IP address for a named domain. The <strong>DVR</strong> will<br />

need this if email, DDNS or time synchronisation is to be used.<br />

Otherwise this does not need to be set for network access.<br />

This is the IP address of the secondary domain name server,<br />

this is used to look up an IP address for a named domain. The<br />

<strong>DVR</strong> will need this if email, DDNS or time sync are to be used.<br />

Engineer Manual<br />

Inspire Silver <strong>DVR</strong> Range<br />

There are four port settings that the <strong>DVR</strong> uses to communicate on a network.<br />

HTTP port:<br />

Command port:<br />

Video port:<br />

Mobile port:<br />

The http port is used to send web pages from the <strong>DVR</strong> to a<br />

remote computer. Port 80 is the standard port for web browsers<br />

such as Internet Explorer. This can be changed for security if<br />

required.<br />

This is used to send and receive commands from remote<br />

computers.<br />

This is used to stream video to remote computers.<br />

This is used to stream video to windows mobile or iPhone<br />

devices.<br />

All the ports can be changed but care should be taken as the port settings in the <strong>DVR</strong><br />

must match open ports in the router, and the router must be set for port forwarding for<br />

remote access across the internet.<br />

UPNP<br />

Alternativlely, using UPNP (universal plug & play) you can configure the portforwarding<br />

automatically providing the router supports this feature and has it enabled. For more on<br />

UPNP see page 104.<br />

For details on setting your router for port forwarding see http://www.portforward.com.<br />

Inspire Silver <strong>DVR</strong> Range<br />

Email Settings<br />

If the <strong>DVR</strong> is connected to the internet it can be set to send an email to up to 5 different<br />

people. The email will contain details of the <strong>DVR</strong> and the event that triggered the email.<br />

In addition a snapshot of the event will be attached.<br />

The email will be sent if various events take place, these must be set in the event section.<br />

To set up email you must have set the DNS in the network settings.<br />

You will need to have all the details for the outgoing email account as well as the<br />

recipients email address.<br />

Please ask the network administrator for these details.<br />

Authentication<br />

This is the authentication method for sending emails.<br />

Usually this is set to “Login”.<br />

Attach JPG<br />

This enables or disables the sending of an image<br />

snapshot when email is sent due to an Alarm, Motion or<br />

Video Loss event.<br />

Schedule<br />

Send Test Email<br />

SSL<br />

Setting the schedule determines when emails are sent,<br />

they can be programmed to be sent 24/7 or between<br />

specific days and times of the week.<br />

This can be used to check if the email and DNS servers<br />

are set correctly. If the settings are correct a “send<br />

successfully” message will appear and an email will<br />

appear in the recipients inbox. If the settings are<br />

incorrect a “send unsuccessful” message will appear.<br />

SSL Encryption is an encryption method often required<br />

when sending emails by many email providers such as<br />

Gmail, Hotmail, AOL etc.<br />

Note: For more information on email settings please consult the networking guide on the<br />

CD supplied with the <strong>DVR</strong>.<br />

PPPOE settings<br />

PPPOE is only required if the <strong>DVR</strong> is connected direct to an ADSL modem and not to an<br />

ADSL router or existing network.<br />

In the UK it is not common for ADSL modems to be used as most are combined with a<br />

router that will perform the PPPOE function.<br />

These settings need to be set in accordance with the ADSL network and the modem that<br />

is being used, for help with this consult the network administrator<br />

known as a dynamic IP.<br />

In this case you will need to set up DDNS so that you can always connect to the <strong>DVR</strong> from<br />

a remote location.<br />

The <strong>DVR</strong> comes with some default settings but you will have to create an account with<br />

one of the DDNS services before you can use the DDNS function.<br />

Dual stream function<br />

Engineer Manual<br />

Inspire Silver <strong>DVR</strong> Range<br />

The dual stream function is designed to improve remote viewing over a network.<br />

There are three settings:<br />

Disable:<br />

Prioritise quality:<br />

Prioritise FPS:<br />

This will switch off Dual Streaming and the video transmitted across<br />

the network will be at the same settings as the record setting. This<br />

may cause poor network performance if the recording settings<br />

are set to D1 and high quality.<br />

This will switch on Dual Stream and set the transmitted video to a<br />

good quality but the frame rate may be slower on poor networks<br />

and across the internet.<br />

This will switch on Dual Stream and set the transmitted video to be<br />

sent at the best possible frame rate, however the picture quality<br />

may be lower across a poor network or across the internet.<br />

Internet time synchronisation<br />

Engineer Manual<br />

Inspire Silver <strong>DVR</strong> Range<br />

The Time Synchronisation function will synchronise the <strong>DVR</strong> clock to an atomic clock on<br />

the internet.<br />

This function requires an internet connection and that DNS is set up correctly.<br />

You must first select an atomic clock (time server) to synchronise with, there are many<br />

available in different parts of the world. The default time server should provide a reliable<br />

clock.<br />

You can set the interval the <strong>DVR</strong> will check and synchronise the clock, the options are:<br />

• Daily<br />

• Weekly<br />

• Monthly<br />

You can also set the time zone you are in, this is very important as all time servers will<br />

provide a time signal in GMT.<br />

For the UK you should set the server for GMT 00:00.<br />

Daylight saving time is automatically added by the <strong>DVR</strong> according to the settings in the<br />

system menu, see page 53.<br />

UPNP<br />

UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) allows UPNP devices to work together for a fully automated<br />

setup. With UPNP enabled on the <strong>DVR</strong> and in the router the port forwarding is automatically<br />

configured.<br />

To enable UPNP the menu setting must first be set to “On” before entering the UPNP sub<br />

menu.<br />

To activate UPNP select the “Remap” option, the mapping status should change to<br />

”successful” to show that the ports are now open, providing UPNP is supported and<br />

enabled on the router.<br />

recording if a single alarm input is active.<br />

This will set the <strong>DVR</strong> to instruct a PTZ camera to move to a<br />

preset position if an alarm input is active.<br />

This will set the <strong>DVR</strong> to trigger an alarm output (relay) if an<br />

alarm input is active.<br />

This will sound the internal buzzer if an alarm input is active, this<br />

can be silenced (muted) by the user.<br />

This will set the <strong>DVR</strong> to send an email with an image snapshot<br />

when the alarm input is triggered.<br />

This option allows a snapshot of any of the cameras to be<br />

uploaded to an FTP Server.<br />
