UK and EMEA:  NetVu Ltd.

 

www.netvu.org.uk 

No 1 Thellow Heath Park, Northwich Road, Northwich, Cheshire.  CW9 6JB 
 

  

Manual Scan: When configuration mode is set to manual click on this button to manually scan for 
new SmartVu cameras connected to the Uniplex. 
SmartVu cameras may also be added to the NVR through the use of a user_config.json file (contact 
NetVu Technical Support for more information).  To load the user_config.json file select its location 

by clicking on the “browse” button

 

Once the user_config.json file has been selected it can be uploaded to the Uniplex by clicking on 
the Upload Json button. 
Camera Setup: Clicking on the Camera Setup (Red) button opens the Camera Camera 
Configuration Page. 
Status : Clicking on the Status (blue) button displays a page showing information about the 
cameras currently connected to the Uniplex. 
 
 

Camera 

– Assign Manually page 

This page is used to manually add cameras to be recorded on the NVR.  This is not normally 
needed where NetVu SmartVu cameras are used with the Uniplex Appliance NVR and NVSE 
Network Extenders, as all cameras should be automatically detected.  However, if a Closed IP 
network is not being used, then it will be necessary to manually add each camera. 
 

 

 

The simplest, fastest and easiest way to add NetVu SmartVu cameras to a Uniplex NVR for 
recording and display is to connect the cameras to the internal camera (endpoint) ports of the 
NVR (Uniplex Appliance) or to the camera (endpoint) ports of NetVu NVSE network extender(s) 
connected to the Uniplex NVR.
