Recording: Encode The Recording: Encode menu allows you to alter and customize how the device records footage and encodes the files. Encoding is a term which refers to the compression algorithm (a fancy computer term for “make the file smaller while retaining visual quality”) used by the device. You can choose and alter: • The frame rate (how many images per second the device records) • The bit rate of each video stream.
Recording: Schedule The schedule presented on-screen applies to one channel only over one whole week. Use the Copy To function to quickly assign identical schedule layouts to multiple channels at once. Be careful when programming your schedule. It’s one of the most important aspects of setting up your device, and if it’s wrong in any way, it could lead to disastrous complications later. Copy To: Located at the base of the screen, with Default on one side and Apply on the other.
Search: Playback 1. Select one or more channels you’d like to playback. 2. From the Video Type menu, select the type(s) of video you’d like to playback. The options are Manual, Schedule, Motion and All. 3. Set your Start Date/Time and your End Date/Time. 4. Select Search. 5. To initiate playback, select Play. The playback interface is quite similar to a computer’s media player, or to the on-screen display of a DVD/Blu-ray player.
Network: General Network Access: Here you can choose between the three different types of networks that the device can be connected to. The two available are DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): Is a system where one device on your network (usually a router) will automatically assign IP addresses to devices connected to the network. Static: Static networks require all devices to have their IP addresses manually defined, as there is no device dedicated to automatically assigning addresses.
Network: Advanced Email Settings: This section has been covered in the quick start guide. Server Port: This is the port that the device will use to send information through. You’ll need to enable UPnP on your router so your router can selectively open these ports, allowing the device to communicate via the Internet. HTTP Port: This is the port through which you will be able to log in to the device. UPnP Enable: This is enabled by default. Tap APPLY to save settings.
Alarm: Motion Detection & Sensitivity The way that the device looks for motion is quite straight forward - it’s a process where it compares one frame with the next. A certain amount of “difference” between these two “frames” is interpreted as motion. As a result, the device is able to detect when there is a change in the picture. However, this does not necessarily need to be something moving in the frame.
Alarm: Schedule Schedule: Allows you to select which day and what time that you would like Motion Detection to be enabled for. By default Motion Detection is enabled 7 days a week for 24 hours. If you want to alter this, tap on the day and time that you want to change. Send Email: Tap this to enable if you would like to be alerted by email whenever there is an alarm event. Tap APPLY to save settings.
System: Maintenance & System Information NVW-470 NVW470K8010010004000000 Enable auto reboot: To maintain the operational integrity of the device, it is suggested that it be rebooted periodically. In much the same way that a computer can become unstable if left on for an extremely long time, the device can become unstable. It is strongly suggested that the device be rebooted at least once per week. Auto reboot at: Choose when you’d like the device to reboot.
SwannView Link: Local Settings The local configuration screen is where you can customise how SwannView Link will store and process footage on the local PC when you download it from the device. Record Path: Where SwannView Link will save recordings if you select Record from the Preview screen. Download Path: Where SwannView Link will save footage that you’ve downloaded from the device. Snapshot Path: Where SwannView Link will save still images captured using the snapshot function.
SwannView Link: Device Settings Display: Channel Settings Channel Name (Check Box): Whether the channel’s name will be displayed on screen or not. Channel Name: The title you’d like to give that camera. Record Data: Whether the overlays (Channel Name, Date and so on) will be recorded onto the video with your images. Position Settings: Select the position of the channel name and record date labels that are overlaid on the screen. Mask (Check Box): Turns the masking function on or off.
Recording: Advanced Config Overwrite: Whether the device will erase old recordings to make room for new ones, or not. Pre-record: Whether the device will cache and save footage that occurs immediately before an alarm/motion event. Delay: How long after an alarm event or motion the device will continue to record for. Pack Duration: The amount of video that will be stored as a single “pack”. Unless you have very specific requirements, leave this at the default value.
Network: Advanced Settings DDNS Setup: Opens the DDNS setup window. NTP Setup: Opens the Network Time Protocol setup window. Email Setting: Opens the Email Setup window. Server Port: One of the two ports the device needs to communicate over your network. Ensure nothing else uses this port. The default value is 9000. This is the port number you’ll use when logging in over the Internet from the SwannView Link software or remote access from a mobile device.
