Installing a DVR or NVR

Installing a DVR or NVR is similar to installing a network.
Prerequisites: You have added the driver for the video driver network.
 NOTE: Not all Video Driver networks support or require a DVR or NVR. The following procedure applies to a Video Driver that supports a DVR or NVR. 

These limitations apply to a DVR:

  • The display must be added manually (click the Add button in the Device Manager view).
  • There is no way for framework to know if in fact a display is connected to the DVR. If the DVR is on, the display is assumed to be available and turned on.
  • It is not possible to ping the device.
Perform the following steps:
  1. To open the Video Driver Manager, double-click the network video driver.
  2. Click New, at the bottom of the Video Driver Manager view.
    A first New window opens.
