Page 240What Internet browser plug-ins are required to use a DVR/NVR with ACSWebService?Depending on your DVR/NVR brand and model, you may be required to install browser pluginsfrom the manufacturer before you can view video from ACS WebService. Follow thedirections in your DVR/NVR manual if the plug-in is not installed automatically.Does the DVR need to be connected directly to the ACS control panel?For some applications, it may be desirable to have the access control system communicatealarms and events back to the DVR system in order to record those events directly in theDVR database. However, it is not necessary to perform any “hard wire” interconnectionbetween the DVR and the ACS control panel in order to support the integration featuresdescribed in this chapter.If you do wish to connect the control panel directly to the DVR, conventional integrationtechniques can be used to connect relay outputs from an ACS control panel to the inputs ona DVR. See the Devices section of this manual for instructions on how to set up outputdevices. See your DVR installation manual for information on how to connect relays to theinputs of the DVR.Are there any setting requirements for the DVR/NVR?The DVR/NVR must be set for continuous (24 x 7) recording. ACS WebService presumes thissetting and will not interact properly with the DVR/NVR otherwise. Consult your DVR/NVRmanual for information on how to change this setting.
