What is the… High Definition NetVu Console ? Enabling customers to deploy an additional viewing & control station with minimal installation requirements, NetVu Console allows a traditional telemetry keyboard and monitor combination to be placed anywhere the customer requires with no need to retrain operators. All that is required is an IP connection and power.
Features The HD NetVu Console from Dedicated Micros is equipped with an array of valuable features designed to enhance the operator experience.
MAP Users can now navigate around their CCTV installation using a graphical map. Selecting the relevant camera from the map will instantly connect the user to that cameras image stream. With the ability to load bespoke map images and floor plans to reflect their installations, the Maps feature is ideal for quickly identifying camera locations around a site or CCTV network. Installation Guide NV1 Point&go provides the user with easy to use, fast, accurate telemetry control via an attached monitor.

Step 3 - Connecting to the Network R PW IN 1 L RIA SE T0 NE E PO T1 NE /R MS AR AL YS ELA D KB The HD NetVu Console supports two 10/100Mbps auto-detecting network port (operating on an internal switch). Use a CAT5 cable to connect the unit to the network. The unit also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows the power for unit to be supplied via the ethernet port. If the PoE function is to be utilised, connect the CAT5 cable to the network connector labelled ‘NET 0 POE’.
Locating the Unit’s IP address The unit is configured using on-board web pages. This can be done remotely once the unit has been installed in its chosen location. The IP address of the unit is required to access these pages. When the unit is connected to a DHCP network for the first time, its IP address is unlikely to be known without referring to the settings of the network switch or router it is connected to. DHCP works by assigning an IP address at initial connection to the network.
Step 4 - Connecting Power R PW IN L1 IA SER T0 NE E PO T1 NE /R MS AR AL Y ELA D KB I The HD NetVu Console can use either the external PSU (supplied) or POE. If POE is not being utilised, connect the supplied external PSU to the unit and then to the wall socket or to a fused spur connection. Check local regulations before installation. Some countries require an Alarm/Security device be connected to a fused spur and not a wall outlet socket.
