The Delete VAU function removes all data for that VAU, including
all recorded video, unless it is the only VAU added to the server. If
only one VAU is added, its data must be deleted manually. By
default, the permission to delete a VAU is not granted to users.

Adding and Configuring VAUs
To add a VAU to a server, right-click on the VAUs directory under the appro-
priate server in the directory tree and select Add VAU. This opens the Add
VAU window, which asks for the following information:
•
VAU computer name
•
Static IP address
•
VideoServer port
Enter this information for each VAU connected to the DS server and click
Save. On a server/VAU combination system, this information is the same as the
system configuration information, and it might already be entered in the VAUs
directory.
To configure a VAU, click on its name in the directory tree to display the
following tabs:
•
VAU Info—
unused with DS NVR/NVs
•
Serial Ports—
configures PTZ cameras and other devices connected to
each COM port
•
Storage Locations—
configures the local and remote storage locations
connected to the DS system
•
Audio Channels—
unused with DS NVR/NVs
•
IP Cameras—
configures the IP cameras connected to the VAU
•
Delete VAU—
deletes a VAU from the system
These tabs are described in more detail in the following sections.
