2 VideoEdge NVR 4.4 Installation and User Manual

As the architecture is open, it is independent of specific hardware platforms. The NVR does not

require an existing operating system as it includes it’s own Linux-based operating system that can

support a variety of different hardware platforms. Figure 1-1 shows how the NVR fits into the victor

Network Video Management System.

You can use these web pages to configure the NVR and its storage, cameras, and devices.

Typically, the assets connected to the NVR are configured on a local TCP/IP network, isolated

from the larger network, and accessible to clients via the NVR and the victor site manager. Refer

to Using the NVR Administration Interface on page 53 for more information on using the NVR

software.

The victor site manager provides a single point of

ccess for users to manage multiple NVRs. The

victor site manager utilizes SQL Server’s database functionality to provide authentication for

VideoEdge Clients, as well as central monitoring and administration of multiple recording platforms

over a Wide Area Network (WAN). Refer to the victor Configuration and User Guide for more

information on configuring and using the victor site manager software. The victor clients are used

to monitor and configure one or more NVRs or other devices that are connected to the victor site

manager network. The victor client enables a user to login and access multiple NVRs from a single

Graphical User Interface (GUI). Refer to the victor Configuration and User Guide for more

information on using the victor client software.
