General Purpose Note 1. You can upgrade your VideoEdge Camera Handler version at http://www.americandynamics.net 2. Please reference NVR Installation and User Manual to Configure Storage. NVRs can require a tremendous amount of storage space depending on the number of cameras, codec, resolution, and frame rates, recording modes, and the duration for which you wish to preserve video recordings.
General Purpose 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).
General Purpose Security Hardening- HTTPS 4.5 supports HTTPS connection with various brand of cameras. Users can configure 3 Security Group’s in the Security page under Devices tab to the following security groups - Low (HTTP/Basic), Medium (HTTP/Digest) or High (HTTPS/SSLv3). The security group can also be kept as Default which will allow the camera handler to decide which authentication to use.

What’s New in This Release 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.
What’s New in This Release Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 The Tyco update Utility will provide choice of which handler to select and install while the check for updates option will install all available handlers located in the Repository folder. The update process will stop and restart services as each individual handler is installed. Update process can be monitored through the Victor Client “Activity Window” or from the “System\Update Software” page of the NVR.
What’s New in This Release Once these Security Groups are configured, the user has the option to choose the level of security (if supported) they prefer when adding their camera to the NVR or Hybrid and it should be noted that user will need to enable the HTTPS feature on their camera before adding to NVR or Hybrid.
Continual Support At any given time there may be more than one camera pack available for the VideoEdge NVR. This camera pack provides full support to all existing (updates and add-ons) and new cameras available for the VideoEdge NVR.
Continual Support General Limitations • In NVR 4.2.0 or later, the NVR does not provide any GUI for PTZ operations other than enabling PTZ and maybe Absolute Focus/Iris. Enabling PTZ only applies to Encoders, not PTZ Cameras. • It is recommended not to configure cameras on multiple Recorders as this may impact on stream and general performance of the camera.

American Dynamics Illustra Flex Series Known Issues Model All ADCi800F Series ADCi800F Series Known Issues You cannot edit "Edge Motion Detection" on NVR alarm page of a camera which has "Edge Based" video analysis enabled if another camera is located in slot 1 and is offline. Changing the first stream resolution back to 2048x1536 or 2304x1296 on dual stream mode, will not apply unless the second stream has first been disabled.
American Dynamics Illustra Flex Series • For the ADCi800F camera, when the resolution of the first stream is 2048x1536 or 2304x1296, the camera only supports single stream. The following points must be considered as a result of this limitation: a After the camera is added to the NVR, the first stream works with 2048x1536 or 2304x1296, however there is only one stream configured on the NVR. To use two streams simultaneously you must set the first stream resolution lower than 2048X1536/2304x1296.

ACTi Corporation Supported Resolution All resolutions less than or equal to 1280x720 are dynamically acquired by the camera. Limitations • Resolutions larger than 720p are unsupported due to an incompatible algorithm used by the camera when the stream's resolution is larger than 720p. • HUE feature on all cameras is unsupported, due to the manufacturer’s recommendation not to change HUE and not to use VIDEO_HUE command for ACTi cameras.
ACTi Corporation • The ACTi generic camera driver will not support the following features: • Image settings: •Lens day/night mode •Brightness •Contrast •Sharpness • H.264 stream • Resolutions larger than 720p are unsupported. Should a camera support a higher resolution, this will not be available via NVR. Known Issues • The TCM3511 has an issue with Reverse playback in the VEClient. The user will experience a stutter with the H.264 stream due to the first key frame being received every second.
ACTi Corporation Resolution: Power Cycle first. If problem persists, carry out hardware reset. • Sometimes the camera’s web GUI will report “Error: Streaming Engine is not running”, when the issue happens there is no stream given out. The camera can be restored after a manual reboot.

Arecont Vision Arecont Vision Supported Key Functions • The Arecont Vision AV8xxx employs four, two-megapixel cameras in 180˚ or 360˚ panoramic views. Models are available in a variety of options including H.264 or MJPEG video formats, Day/Night, Heater/Blower, recessed or IP66 housings. • Using the American Dynamics victor unified client, operators can view each image independently or combination of them in a multi camera view in victor. • Video Streaming – Single and Dual • Video Codec – MJPEG and H.
Arecont Vision • Streaming large amounts of data to Quicktime may cause a distorted image to appear. This is due to Quicktime or the network card on the host on which Quicktime is running, preventing large bit rate streams particularly during the start up of H.264 due to the bursting of all frames since the previous Key frame. This result may be a green/mosaic screen especially on motion scenes. This may occur for both live and historic playback on NVR and Victor client.
Arecont Vision • Due to the camera firmware issue on AV8185DN, the camera stream may restart on the NVR. • Due to a camera hardware limitation, for AV8185 and AV8365 cameras, the sensor size is 1600x1200, so the NVR resolution setting is 1600x1200, but it streams at 1600x1184 Known Issues • • NVR receiving H.264 frames with timestamp prior to last one received for cameras AV3105, AV5105, AV8365, AV10005.

AXIS Communications AXIS Communications Supported Key Functions • Video Streaming – Single and Dual • Video Codec – MJPEG, MPEG4 and H.264 depending on camera functionality • Audio Streaming • Audio codec supported depends on camera functionality • Dry Contact events • Edge DeviceMotion Detection • PTZ – Applies to cameras that have mechanical Pan and Tilt and Optical Zoom.
AXIS Communications Camera Serial Number • NVR will use the camera’s MAC address as the camera serial number. Video Streaming Feature • For VAPIX 3 cameras, all MJPEG, MPEG-4 and H.264 streams can have different frame rates, resolution and quality. • Cropped resolutions are not supported and do not appear in the resolution selection list. • Enhancement: With the latest handler 4.4.0.
AXIS Communications Limitations All 1 For cameras that claim to support absolute and auto focus but fail to provide minFocus and maxFocus (the focus range), the NVR web page (Image Settings -> Lens/Sensor) will display the Auto-Focus option but will not display the focus range when Auto-Focus is disabled. The AXIS 215 is an example of such a camera. 2 Older versions of the AXIS handler may have set the “exposure”, “input gain”, “WDR” and other parameters on some AXIS cameras to invalid values.
AXIS Communications 28-4 9 If the MJPEG quality level is set to 100 at high resolutions ( 1920x1200 for example ) then live viewing problems ( high latency, momentary loss of video, etc) may be observed in a Victor Client surveillance screen if that workstation is also trying to live view using the NVR web client. To avoid the problem, either reduce the quality level or reduce the number of live viewing clients that are running on the workstation.
AXIS Communications 17 Axis cameras allow up to 10 motion detection windows to be configured on the camera GUI. The NVR does not detect these different windows and detects Edge Based motion detection from the first motion window on the camera GUI. 18 When enabling motion detection via the camera GUI in order to use “Edge Based” motion detection, the sensitivity may need to be increased in order to gain precise detection results.
AXIS Communications All Encoders 28-6 29 As Auto-Iris is enabled by default, in order to adjust IRIS+ and IRIS- through Victor, the Auto Iris checkbox must be disabled via the NVR webpage. The Victor surveillance window needs to be refreshed (drag camera back in surveillance pane) in order for the Iris panel to be updated with this change. 30 Due to an Axis API limitation, Patterns are not supported on this handler.
AXIS Communications 5 An attempt to add a preset to AXIS encoders (with AD Ultra 8 analog PTZ camera) will result in a “Error: query not implemented” HTTP error being returned in response to a “http:///AXIScgi/com/ptz.cgi?query=position&camera=1” HTTP request. The reason for this is that the Sensormatic driver for the AD Ultra 8 camera does not allow the position to be queried. The parameter list retrieved from the encoder will report that absolute pan, tilt, zoom is not supported.
AXIS Communications 210A,233D The latest firmware (4.47) in the AXIS 210A camera and some other VAPIX 2 camera and encoder models have a flaw that limits the FPS of MJPEG streams to the FPS of an existing MPEG-4 stream until the MPEG-4 stream is destroyed. For example, if the configured FPS of two MJPEG streams is 20 FPS and 5 FPS and the FPS of the MPEG-4 stream is 15 FPS then the actual FPS of the MJPEG streams will be 15 FPS and 5 FPS until the MPEG-4 stream is destroyed.
AXIS Communications P5522 If an Axis P5522 PTZ camera is not receiving sufficient power for its PTZ operations then it will disable the PTZ motor and remove the PTZ.Limits and PTZ.Support parameter groups from the camera parameter list. As a consequence, no PTZ controls will be available in the NVR web client and Victor Client for that camera. The symptom may also occur when other PTZ camera models receive insufficient power.
AXIS Communications 6 This audio only device cannot be live viewed in VE Hybrid/ local client as audio devices cannot be selected for surveillance. It is recommended to associate the device (via associate audio setting in NVR) with a camera which streams video. 7 Audio volume cannot be changed via the NVR audio list page. If necessary, user should adjust using the camera GUI or victor volume control.
AXIS Communications Known Issues All cameras Should a camera become network disconnected for an extended period of time (More than 12 hours) the NVR may not receive edge based motion events/ dry contact events. If this occurs it may be necessary to disable and re-enable dry contacts and edge based motion detection again via the NVR interface. P1357 The maximum FPS changes according to how the camera is configured. See camera user manual. M3007 The “Mount Type” is not shown on NVR.

Bosch • Due to camera limitation, when setting 1080P for MJPEG stream on the Autodome Jr 800HD, it is shows 1920x1072. • If observing some delay in live and recorded video on Victor Client – we recommend configuring the settings on camera GUI as: Go to Settings/advanced/camera/encoder profile/Profile 1/Expert settings: • GOP structure = IP • Iframe distance = set slider to the same FPS value configured on the VE NVR.
Bosch Special Points • Bosch camera has 8 profile configurations on the web page, and each profile may configure a set of codec parameters. Handler specifies H.264 Stream 1 on camera to profile Configure 1 and H.264 Stream 2 on camera to profile Configure 2 and the MJPEG stream on camera to profile Configure 3, so when the NVR sets stream codec parameters, the parameter is written in the special profile configured.

ONVIF Limitations The ONVIF standard can be interpreted in slightly different ways by the various manufacturers who provide ONVIF enabled IP Cameras. The NVR ONVIF handler has been written to accommodate these differences but it’s been necessary to devise a number of configuration guidelines to aid with supporting an ONVIF enabled camera.
ONVIF Camera Feature HikVision Pre-Configure Camera Settings Dry Contacts and Presets - zero or one based issue. Some ONVIF camera manufacturers have different offsets for dry contacts, presets etc. Some use zero-based indexing, while others are one-based. The NVR allows the user to fine tune the appropriate numbering offset on a per camera basis. CBC Unable to add CBC cameras via the ONVIF handler to the NVR.
ONVIF FPS. If the user attempts to configure an invalid FPS e.g. 7 the HikVision will accept the next lowest value (6 FPS) but the web GUI will display 7 FPS. 7 The ONVIF Handler does not support patterns.

Panasonic Corp Note Please refer to Panasonic cameras release notes published on the Panasonic website for more information about Panasonic cameras and limitations. Known Issues Model All Known Issues For the models that support both of H.264 and MPEG-4 codecs, they can't support these codec simultaneously. The real currently supported codec needs to be explicitly set at the camera.
Panasonic Corp NW960, NW964, NS950, NS954 Due to a Camera limitation, Patterns cannot be cancelled during its set up phase. The "X" button is recommended not to be used in this case and the user should instead use the Stop button. If the user does click on the "X" button, the user should wait till the counter counts down to zero.
Panasonic Corp Due to the camera limitation, the quality of MPEG4 is always ‘Normal’ and can’t be changed. So changing of MPEG4 quality from NVR web page will not take effect and the quality value will always be 50. SF342 NW960 NW964 NS950 NS954 Special Points • The handler will ignore the model prefix of every camera. So for example, "WV-SC385" and "DG-SC385" will be regarded as the same camera with same features. Currently four prefixes have been seen for Panasonic cameras, they are WV/DG/WJ/BB.

Samsung Special Points • If added into an NVR, we recommend not modifying the camera outside of the NVR, or the NVR may not work properly. • As confirmed by Samsung, F/W upgrade/downgrade problems happen frequently with SNP3120 series. Please use the Supported Firmware Version only, and take care when upgrading /downgrading camera of SNP-3120 series. Downgrading to 1.22_110120_1 firmware also resets the camera to default IP.
Samsung Limitations Model Limitations Work Around All Interface 'CameraName' is not supported as the camera has no CGI command for this interface. N/A All The SND 3080, SNP 3120, SNB 3002 are fixed PAL / NTSC. For other cameras there is a setting for changing PAL/NTSC on the Camera WebGUI but this only changes the analog output. N/A All Samsung cameras have no CGI command for getting autofocus status, and only a few cameras support setting it to on.
Samsung Model Limitations Work Around All The Samsung handler is now able to let the NVR know what codec configurations are available for each camera. This now means that if the camera is set to dual stream, the user is unable to switch the codec's of stream 1 and stream 2. Disable stream 2, and change codec of stream 1, before enabling dual stream again.

SONY • Relative iris is not supported, which means Victor client won’t be able to adjust the Iris. However the absolute Iris adjustment is available through NVR or Camera web page. • Due to a limitation in NVR motion detection stream selection algorithm, the MPEG4 stream cannot be utilized for motion detection. This limitation requires quality setting in the MPEG4 stream, which is not supported by the cameras.
SONY • When there is a MPEG4 recording, set the resolution and fps value first before enabling audio. If fps or resolution must be changed after the audio, be sure to disable, re-enable and re-configure the audio to avoid 1 second audio lag in play back. • SONY 5th generation cameras set with motion-detection using MJPEG will present the limitation that if H.264 has been used for the primary stream, it cannot be used for the secondary • Digital PTZ is not supported.
