Introduction
Each video capture board provides a
connection for 1-4 cameras. Each Video
Server can have up to 4 capture boards for a
total of 16 cameras.
Attention: Always remove power before attempting
to install or remove a capture board! As well,
electronic components are sensitive to static
electricity. Use proper handling methods.
25.1.2
Capture board numbering

Security Key
Each capture board includes an on-board
(USB) security key which is required by the
Netvision Video Server software.
Location of Security Key: Beginning in May 2006,
the security key is mounted inside the NetVision
case (near the front). For servers shipped prior to
May 2006, the key is mounted externally (plugged
into a USB port on the back of the unit).
Software Restricted Mode Error Message: If you
see an error message during start up that pertains
to "security key not found" and/or "Restricted Mode"
this may mean:
+ You reinstalled Video Server software that
supports more capture boards than you have
installed, or;
+ You are trying to use an incorrect type/version of
capture board;
For more information, contact your authorized
support representative.
