FrequeNtly asked questions Installation Q & A Q: Cannot Install the SuperDVR Drivers and software? A: iCamDVR have not been installed to the computer for hardware detection by SuperDVR software. Unplug the iCamDVR hardware and plug it into another available USB2.0 port on the computer. Check the USB port to be functioning with other USB device(s). Check system requirement to be compatible with the PC components.
A: Grey means Normal State. Yellow means Motion detection alarm. Blue means Video Loss. Teal means Manual Record State. Green means Schedule Record State Q: How does the different record mode work? A: Users can set more than one record mode in Record setup but actually, there is only one valid record mode for a certain period.
TIPS PC Auto Reboot may not be enable, but inputting the Windows user name and password is a must (recommended) in cases of abnormal system exit or shuts off, SuperDVR will automatically login to the original state before the abnormal cut offs. Q: How to select multiple items in Schedule Configuration? A: In Schedule Configuration panel, press and hold down the “Shift” or “Ctrl” key to draw the cursor in corresponding selection and then mouse click to another selection to accumulate the selections.
the two client software onto the remote client PC. Run WebCam and/or RPB client software to access WebCam and/or RPB main interface, click “Login” to input user name and password to login. Successful login to WebCam will allow remote live video monitoring and RPB will allow remote playback from SuperDVR server. Q: Why I cannot download the client software using an internet accessible PC workstation? A: Confirm the client computer is properly configured to access the Internet or Intranet.
TIPS There may be some surplus channels that do not have video input. Switching off the channels will help to improve transmission speed due to limited broadcasting. Q: Why I cannot start WebCam server or RPB server from the SuperDVR server? A: Other software is using WebCam/RPB ports, try changing the WebCam/RPB port or stop other software from running on the background.
down playback and SuperDVR (applications) usage. Start by deleting some of the unused files, run disk defragmenter, or exiting other application(s) running in the background will help speeds up playback and application(s) in windows. Q: Why I cannot playback AVI files? A: Windows media player has been damaged, or decoder has not been installed properly, please reinstall the relative software.
A: If the new updated date/time is later than the current date/time, changes can be made at any time. For example; if current computer date/time is 01/01/2007 10:00:00 and the new updated date/time is 01/01/2008 10:00:00 then it is okay to go ahead and update the date/time. If on the other hand, the new updated date/time is before the current date/time on the computer, stop the video recording, backup all video data to avoid overwritten and exit out of SuperDVR to change the date/time, start SuperDVR again.
