Devices

Overview

Cameras and audio devices are added and configured using the Devices menu item of the NVR

Administration Interface. The Device List found in List under the Devices menu and is separated

into three tabs displaying a list of all cameras and audio devices which have been added to the

NVR. The Device List Summary Tables (see Table 7-1 and Table 7-2) provide a summary of all

device configuration settings that are available

to view and edit in the Device Lists.

Devices can be grouped together by logical associa

tions, for example, a microphone which is

connected to an encoder, connected to the NVR or part of a camera can be logically associated

with a camera in the same room. When alerts are triggered or you search for specific camera

footage, the associated audio from the microphone will also be available in addition to the camera

footage. You can create logical associations between devices using the NVR Administration

Interface.

In previous versions of VideoEdge when a camer

a with a built in audio input was added to the

NVR either manually or using Auto Discovery that audio input would always be associated with the

video feed from the camera. Both the camera and the audio device would appear in the Video List

as one device.

When a camera with an audio input is added to a V

ideoEdge 4.4 recorder it now appears as two

individual devices. By default these devices will be grouped together due to physical association.

This physical association allows you to retrieve audio that is synchronized with camera footage.

You also can retrieve video only streams or audio only streams. Alternatively by de-selecting the

appropriate checkbox devices will be added without association. When devices are associated by

default this association can be deleted and subsequently the video or audio stream can be

associated with another device.

Note

Audio devices will share the camera/encoder name that they are connected to. They can be

identified by the addition of _audio in the device name.

If you want multiple devices to have the same configuration settings and associations, you can

batch edit numerous devices and all assigned settings will be the same for all selected devices

provided the device has the ability to support the selected settings. For further information refer to

Device Configuration on page 93.
