The ETV Portal Server and the NVR must be in the same time zone. Also, in order to 
record successfully, the system time on ETV Portal server and the NVR must be 
synchronized. You can synchronize the machines, for example, by running the Service 
for Windows Time on both machines. See "Synchronizing the Portal Server and the 
NVR" in the 

Portal Server Admin Guide

.

In order to record multiple streams, the Recorder path must be under FTP root. For 
example, if root is 

C:\Inetpub\ftproot

 the Recorder path must be 

C:\Inetpub\ftproot\<your_folder>

If you try to uninstall the Microsoft .NET 1.1 framework prior to uninstalling the 
Network Video Recorder, the uninstall of the Microsoft .NET 1.1 framework will fail 
because the Network Video Recorder uses this framework. If you need to uninstall the 
Microsoft .NET 1.1 Framework, you first need to uninstall the Network Video Recorder 
software.

The default FTP path in IIS is automatically set via the installer, but, depending on the 
particular machine's configuration, it may need to be changed. The installer sets the 
default FTP path to 

D:\Inetpub\ftproot

 in IIS, if a D: drive is detected. Otherwise it sets 

the path to 

C:\Inetpub\ftproot

. If you have a machine with an E: drive and you want to 

set the FTP path to E:, you need to do two things. First, go to IIS and use the right 
mouse button to select on the 

Default FTP Site

, select Properties from the popup menu. 

The Default FTP Site Properties dialog box will appear. Select the 

Home Directory

 tab. In 

the Local Path edit box, change the value to 

E:\Inetpub\ftproot

 and hit 

OK

. Second, you 

need to go to the 

Admin Console  > Global Settings > Global Assignments

 and change 

Select FTP root path

 to 

E:\inetpub\ftproot 

and then change 

Select a media storage path

 

to 

E:\inetpub\ftproot\MCS\Record

.
