What’s New in This Release
Auto Discovery
The Auto-Discovery feature allows you to automatically discover 'discoverable devices' on the
network to add to the NVR. Multiple devices can be added to the NVR until you reach your limit of
camera license. The default recording status for cameras added via auto-discovery is Record
Always. Once the devices are discovered the user has the choice of updating the device name.
This update is applied when the camera is added to the NVR.
The new auto discovery feature now allows cameras to be discovered on the network faster and
with less steps. This feature uses standard network discovery protocols that simplify the setup of
cameras on the NVR. All AD cameras and Axis cameras can use this feature. Other camera
manufactures may not support these standard discovery protocols. For those cameras, the
existing NVR 4.4 discovery functionality (Scan Devices) has been included within the NVR.
When using Auto-Discovery, it is recommended that the NVR you are using to discover cameras
on is on the same subnet as the cameras.
Not all cameras can be added to the NVR in this way as some manufacturers require cameras to
be pre-configured prior to being added to network i.e cameras which communicate through ONVIF.
The user can now update the camera IP address. This is done through the ‘Discovered cameras
list’ by the user enabling the checkbox beside the relevant camera and clicking on the ‘IP’ button.
The user can then configure the IP either by using DHCP or specifying an IP address.
Discovered devices can now also be added to a security group. This is done by the user unchecking
the Default associations radio button and selecting a pre defined security group from the security
group dropdown. New security groups can be created via the security tab. Please refer to security for
more information.
Push Updates
With NVR 4.4, the ability was added through Victor VEClient to perform push upgrades of NVR
software via the victor client. This functionality has been enhanced in NVR version 4.5 to include
individual camera handler push updates going forward.
To Update Individual Camera Handlers the Handler.exe package must be downloaded and placed
in a folder named “Repository” inside the Tyco\Update Server repository directory on the Site
Manager’s workstation. It may be necessary to create the Repository folder if it does not already
exist.
The camera handler executables will require to be extracted (double click to execute) prior to
making them available for installation.
The installation process can be initialized either by running the “Tyco Update Utility tool” located in
the System tray (Image 1) and selecting “Tools\ Repository packages (image 2 and 3) or
alternatively the user can choose to right click on the NVR Icon in the “Victor Client Device list” and
select “Check for Updates” (image 4).
