Adding a Maxpro NVR

A Maxpro system with an NVR processes video data at the camera and streams it to the NVR.

From the main menu, click Controller Setup > Remote Devices > Remote Drivers.
The Remote Drivers view opens.
Double-click on the Maxpro Network row in the table.
The Driver Manager view opens with the Maxpro Network tab selected.
Click the NVRs tab.
Do one of the following:
- To edit the properties for an existing NVR, double-click the NVR row in the table or select the NVR and click the Edit button ().
- To add a new NVR, click the NVRs tab.
To continue adding a NVR, click the New button (), select the NVR from the drop-down list, name it, and click OK.
The New window opens.
Enter at least these properties and click Ok:
- Ip Address is the IP address for the NVR software.
- Credentials (Username and Password) are for accessing the NVR.
CAUTION: Do not change the Http Port to 80 unless you are setting up an NVR that does not support TLS secure communication. If port 80 is required, you must also turn off Use Tls using Workbench. Disabling secure communication leaves your Maxpro network vulnerable to a malicious attack.

If the NVR uses fox streaming to deliver video, the Http Port can be different from the port used by the platform/station to access the network. If the NVR does not use fox streaming, this port should be the same as the port that connects the platform/station to the network.

Adding an NVR adds the tabs (containers) for cameras as well as adding the driver to the Driver Manager view.
