Installation
Upgrading from Version 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2
If you upgrade the Viewer from an older version, all the settings are taken over to the new
version and video data recorded with older version can be played back with Version 1.3. It
is important to verify your settings after installation.
For the details, see “Upgrading VK-64/VK-16” (
➝
P. 231).
Preparation and Precaution
●
Use NTFS-formatted hard disk
The hard disk where the software will be installed and video data will be stored must be
formatted in the NTFS.
You can convert the hard disk into the NTFS format using the following command at the
command prompt.
“convert (Name of the drive):/fs:ntfs”
Example: To convert Drive C into the NTFS format:
convert c:/fs:ntfs
The Viewer v1.3 can connect to the Storage Server v1.2.
However, you cannot use the recording functions added in
v1.3 (e.g., preset tour).
If the Storage Servers v1.2 and v1.3 coexist, either Storage
Server can be specified as the Master Storage Server.
The Viewer v1.3 cannot connect to the Storage Server v1.0 or
v1.1.
The Viewer v1.0, v1.1, or v1.2 cannot connect to the Storage
Server v1.3.
The VB-C300 cannot be registered on an v1.0, v1.1, or v1.2
Storage Server.
When upgrading from any versions before 1.1.2.27, you need
to set motion detection (
➝
P. 119) again. You can check your
version information from the About box (
➝
P. 46) of the
Storage Server and the Viewer.
The VB-C300 cannot be registered on the Storage Server v1.0,
v1.1, or v1.2.
Note
Select All Programs, Accessories, and Command Prompt from
the Start menu to display the command prompt. If you press the
Enter key following the command shown above, a series of
questions appears, then conversion starts. Reboot the PC after
the process completes conversion. You will not lose any data on
the hard disk by conversion.
