Remote Station
PC Requirements
19.2.1
Processor (CPU)
Remote station software can be run on a
typical, currently available PC (a
motherboard with Intel™ chip-set is
preferred). For general use, a good choice
would be a PIII/877MHz or faster.
19.2.2
Memory (RAM)
128 Mb or more.
TechTip:
As with all Windows programs, additional
memory can improve performance. The type of
memory will depend on the PC's age and model.
To upgrade your memory, be sure to first verify the
memory type.
19.2.3
Operating System
Windows 2000 or XP is required, and MS
Internet Explorer 5.0 or newer must be
installed.
(This is typically included on the CD with
MS Windows.)
Note:
Windows Media Player v
7.1
or newer is
recommended (separately,
or
upgrade to MS
Internet Explorer 6.0).
Tip: Other versions of Windows are not supported
or recommended.
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. Known
requirements: Windows 2000 must have
SP2
installed.
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 (notice: NOT "www").
19.2.4
Video Card and Monitor
Required:
A good quality video card and
monitor supporting SVGA resolution (800x600)
or higher.
Exception: XGA (1024x768) is recommended for
viewing Video Servers with PAL cameras. (And this
resolution is required at the Video Servers
themselves.)
19.2.5
Hard Drive (Remote Stations)
A local drive of at least
40
Gb is recommended
if you will be doing any video recording. This
must be the primary local drive (
C:\
).
TechTip:
The remote software itself requires very little
hard drive space (3 Mb or so). This is in addition to
space used by the Windows 'virtual memory' feature
(swap file).
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
19.2.6
Other Drive(s)
Any drive supporting standard data CDs (CD-
ROM, CD-R / CD-RW, or DVD drive).
19.2.7
Sound Card and Speakers
Audio from Video Servers can be monitored at
authorized remote stations. A sound card (or
equivalent) and PC speakers are required for
this feature.
Note: At a remote station, a sound card and PC
speakers are for playback/monitoring only—and have
nothing to do with including audio in video recordings.
19.1.5
Windows XP with Service Pack 2
(WinXP-SP2)
WinXP-SP2 includes a personal firewall that (if
enabled) will block all unfamiliar software
programs from running. You may be prompted
to “
[Unblock]
” NetVision components after
installing SP2, or you may need to manually
set them as “Exceptions” through:
