4.1.2. Minimum Configuration
VDRView will also function on a system that meets the minimum specification, however the video may not be as fluid
(smooth), the maximum number of simultaneous video streams may not be achievable, the pages may take longer to load and
refresh, but you can always be sure that the video is being captured and accessible from the VR-N100U. The minimum system
requirement will still enable you to manage and control the VR-N100Us and cameras.

NOTE1: Java can be manually installed onto the VDRView workstation by directly downloading it from the Sun Microsystem’s
web site ( http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/ ).
NOTE2: When accessing the VR-N100U directly from the web browser or from VDRView for the first time, you will be
automatically prompted to install Java if it is not already installed on your system. Proceed to accept and follow the
instructions provided from Sun Microsystems.
NOTE3: JRE 1.4.2_01, 1.4.2_02 and 1.4.2_03 have been successfully tested at the time this manual was written. However,
there is always the possibility that when a new and untested version of Java is released, that it could cause some
unexpected issues.
4.2. Installing VDRView
You will find VDRView on the VR-N100U Companion CD. It is intended for the user to install it on your workstation that meets
the above system requirements.
1. Load the VR-N100U Companion CD in the CD/DVD drive on the workstation. Follow the instructions on the CD label.
The CD will autoload. If the CD does not autoload, launch VDRView.exe to manually install and go to step 3.
2. From the Companion CD Main Menu, select the Install VDRView option.
3. When the Setup Wizard appears, follow the instructions on each screen.
You will be prompted to provide a destination location and a Program Folder for the utilities. The default location is the
Program Files\VDRView folder on your local hard drive. After the files are loaded to the specified destination location, a
prompt appears asking if you want to create a shortcut icon on the desktop for VDRView.
4. Click on the Yes button if you want to create the icon. Click on the No button if you don’t.
5. The
Setup Wizard completes the installation. The final screen offers you the option of restarting your system now, or
at a later time. System-level DLLs are installed with VDRView. They will not be activated until your workstation is
restarted. Make your selection and click on the Finish button. (If you are reinstalling VDRView, you may not be
prompted to reboot.)
You are returned to the Companion CD menu screen. The View Readme File option contains last minute information on
VDRView and the other VR-N100U Companion CD options listed on the Main Menu.
6. If you haven’t already done so, remove the VR-N100U Companion CD from your CD/DVD drive.
That’s all there is to installing VDRView. You’ll see that using it is just as easy.
