Configure your system through
the Management Application
1. Under Advanced Configuration
in the Management Application’s navigation pane, select
Hardware Devices, then double-click the hardware device to which the 360° lens camera is
attached, and verify that the 360° functionality is enabled.
2. Under Advanced Configuration in the navigation pane, select Cameras and Storage
Information, double-click the required camera, and configure the 360° view.
Configure scheduling & archiving
Do you want some cameras to transfer video to XProtect NVR at all times, and other cameras to
transfer video only within specific periods of time, or when specific events occur? With the scheduling
feature, you can specify this as well as when you want to receive notifications from the system.
Archiving is an integrated and automated feature that helps you store recordings beyond the
capabilities of XProtect NVR’s standard database. With XProtect NVR’s default settings, archiving
takes place once a day or whenever databases become full; you can specify additional archiving times
if required.
You configure scheduling and archiving under Advanced Configuration > Scheduling and
Archiving
in the Management Application’s navigation pane.
Configure events & output
Events, for example based on input from sensors, can be used to automatically start/stop recordings,
to automatically send notifications, etc. Output can be used for activating external units, such as sirens
or lights; output can be triggered automatically by events. Users can also activate events and output
manually from their clients.
The use of most input events, and all types of output, requires that external sensors are wired to
input/output (I/O) connectors on the hardware device in question, and that I/O operation on the
hardware device is supported by XProtect NVR. Check the Device Pack Release Notes, available
from
to see if I/O
operation is supported for the hardware and firmware used in your installation.
You configure events and output under Advanced Configuration > Events and Output in the
Managem
ent Application’s navigation pane. Once you have configured events, you can use them with
features throughout XProtect NVR, regardless of where sensors, users, etc. are physically located.
