Virus scanning
No anti-virus program is installed on the XProtect NVR when you receive it.
Virus scanning must be avoided in specific contexts on XProtect NVR, since virus scanning will use a
considerable amount of system resources on scanning surveillance system data, notably data in
databases containing recordings.
Virus scanning may also temporarily lock each file being scanned, which may further impact system
performance negatively. Virus scanning may even corrupt recording databases, and render your
surveillance system recordings useless.
Therefore:

Do not use virus scanning on folders containing recording databases (by default D:¥ and all
folders under that location).

Do not use virus scanning on archiving locations.

Do not use virus scanning on files with the following file extensions (which are all surveillance
system-related):
o .blk
o .idx
o .pic
o .pqz
o .sts
o .ts
The organization in which the XProtect NVR will be used may have strict guidelines re. virus scanning,
but it is important that the above locations and files are exempt from virus scanning. Consult the
organization’s IT system administrator if in doubt.
