Offline configuration flowchart
NOTE:
You will need a USB flash drive prepared as a configuration flash drive. Please make sure that the
flash drive has sufficient storage capacity – minimum 2 GB. Use a USB flash drive with LED display
– data transfer between the DVR and USB flash drive is visible therewith.
NOTE:
Preparation of the USB flash drive is only necessary for the first use. You can use the same drive,
for configuration of all video systems in the entire fleet. The configuration tool is a web application
and requires an installed web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer (Version 7.0 or higher) or
Mozilla Firefox (Version 3.0 or higher).
Enable JavaScript in your web browser and confirm access to the file system at the start of the
application, as well as the execution of ActiveX components.
2.1.2
Preparing a USB flash drive for configuration:
Format a commercial USB flash drive (at least 2 GB)
Download the configuration application (*.zip or self-extracting *.exe) and save it locally on the
configuration PC
Extract the file and copy the folder to the flash drive.
The USB flash drive has now been prepared as a configuration flash drive.
NOTE:
The data package is going to create a folder with all the necessary files during extraction – DO NOT
rename this folder! Otherwise the system will NOT recognize the configuration flash drive and it will
not be possible to Down/Upload the configuration set.
