2 Nethunter basics
Nethunter is an essential single-server video system managing IP cameras, NVR and Mitsubishi DVR, including
full-featured remote access. Nethunter combines the CCTV knowledge of Mitsubishi with a new design focused
on usability, making it an easy tool that mixes installation of IP and analogue Mitsubishi systems.
Nethunter contains for the Mitsubishi IP cameras; such as camera control, motion detection (HW), intelligent
PTZ and archiving to local drive. Also it is compatible with all the Mitsubishi DVR giving the opportunity to
migrate to an IP solution step by step from the actual CCTV solution based on Mitsubishi DVR.
Nethunter is compatible with:
 Mitsubishi hardware and any other IP devices: IP Box camera, Dome camera, PTZ camera,
IP video server and NVR, third-party cameras …
 Mitsubishi DVR, all the different models Mitsubishi have developed or will develop.
Nethunter main functionalities:

2.1 Definitions
DVR / NVR
Hardware recording devices (see supported devices list for more information).
DVR works for analog cameras, and NVR is intended for recording IP cameras.
ENCODER
Hardware device that converts analogical cameras signal into IP MPEG-4/H.264 video streaming transferred to
Nethunter or to an NVR through TCP/IP.
IP camera
Digital video camera that captures MPEG-4/H.264 video and streams it through a TCP/IP network, being accessible
by Nethunter and NVR devices.
NVVR: Nethunter IP recorder
Nethunter module that records IP cameras video streams into server mapped disk devices (SAN, local HDD, etc…).
Also it is able to schedule, manage alarms, playback, create rules, etc…
The NVVR (Network Virtual Video Recorder) concept is similar to NVR or DVR in terms of isolation and main
functionalities, being software based on the hardware that better fits your needs (Failover & redundant Server,
standard PC or Workstation …)
Nethunter Server
Software piece that connects to the DVR, NVR and NVVR devices and maintains the configuration database. This
module is the Nethunter core application that is able to manage all the different devices in terms of connectivity,
settings management and Nethunter clients connection pooling and control messaging.
Nethunter Client
This is the main application that allows any operator to connect to the server and start administrating all the
server content. The system can have multiple clients connected to the same server and performing different
actions with the connected devices.
