Testing the Units
The units should be periodically tested to ensure that they are functioning
properly. This can be easily accomplished by walking out of the door, not
allowing it to close, and then walking back in without using a card. This
should generate a local and remote alarm. If an alarm is not correctly
annunciated (i.e. no audible message) repeat the above steps. If the system
still does not operate correctly, cycle the power on the Control Unit and repeat
the test. If the system still does not respond, call for Newton Security or your
integrator for additional support.
Capturing Events
Alarm event video is captured and stored in volatile memory on the system.
There is no onboard persistent storage of alarm video information; if the
system power is interrupted, all stored video will be lost. Use of an external
DVR system is recommended if permanent storage of alarm events is
required.
Configuration and Setup of the T-DAR Software
Utilizing the T-DAR user interface, connect to the system to be configured and follow
the steps as outlined below to configure the T-DAR system for operation. To
conduct the set-up operation, the following items will be needed:
•
An Ethernet-capable computer running the T-DAR user interface software
•
A video monitor or television with video input
•
The T-DAR controller software and camera calibration CD’s that came with
the system
•
All associated cables and connectors for connecting devices such as
computers, Ethernet hubs, and monitors to the T-DAR controller (Note: a
cross-over cable may be used for direct PC/Laptop to the Control Unit)
Once these components have been supplied and properly connected, the T-DAR
system may be powered on. The following steps will complete the set-up process.
1. Connect to the T-DAR controller using the IP address on the label on the
inside of the controller door. (Or with a serial connection-see Connection
above.)
a. The lower left corner of the user interface displays the connection
status. If a connection can not be made, please refer to the
troubleshooting section for further assistance.
