9.7 Configuration
This part of the menu deals with basic configuration of the DVR that is normally carried out
only during installation.
Multi unit configuration
Some Videoswitch DVRs may be linked to produce larger systems. In this case each has to
be programmed with a unit number and the total number of linked units.
In a multi-unit configuration, cameras are called up on a remote keyboard by entering the
required camera number 1 to 256. The user does not see the boundary between units.
From a configuration point of view, each unit is treated separately, and settings can be
different on each unit as required.
Unit Number
Multiple DVRs may be linked to provide a system with more than 16 cameras. Cameras 1 to
256 may then be called up using a remote keboard.
In multi-unit configurations, give each unit in the linked chain a unique number, starting at 1
for the master and incrementing by one for each subsequent unit.
In single-unit installations, set the unit number to none.
