PC Requirements

Video Server PC Reference
19.1.1
PC, Memory, Operating System
A suitable PC is included with each Video
Server (rack mount, with lockable tamper-
resistant case). Should the need arise, the
memory and/or hard drives (video storage) can
be upgraded using suitable components.
Memory Type:
The memory type will depend on
when the Video Server was purchased. Have a
technician verify the memory type before
purchasing any additional memory.
Note: Installing or upgrading the NetVision software
must be done by someone with NT administrator
authority (i.e., logged in as administrator).
Service Packs and Critical Updates:
As a
general rule, be sure to install new Windows
'service packs' and critical updates for your
Windows operating system as they become
available.
To view your Windows version and service pack
details, open Windows Explorer or the Control
Panel, open the Help menu, and select "About
Windows".
For details on the latest Windows updates available,
and how to download and/or install them, visit
http://support.microsoft.com (NOT "www").
19.1.2
Additional Drives
If additional hard-drives are desired for
recording and storing video files, 40
G
b or
larger is recommended. These can be
installed locally, or shared from another PC on
the network.
CDs and Portable Drives: If your PC includes a CD
burner, you can backup files onto CDs once they have
been 'formatted' to be accessible through a drive-letter
(e.g., using DirectCD). Similarly, portable drives can be
used as long as they are available to the PC when
needed. Related Topic: 10.4 To Allow Using a Blank
CD

Microphone and Speakers
Current systems typically include up to 5 audio
inputs (one microphone jack, plus up to 4 line-
level audio inputs). Sound will be included in
recordings from applicable cameras, and can
be monitored at the Video Server and
authorized remote stations. Microphone(s)
and PC speakers are required for this feature.
Note:
Bare microphones to be connected to line-level
audio inputs will each require a suitable microphone
pre-amp.
