Dedicated Micros DVR setup

This procedure briefly describes how to setup a Dedicated Micros DVR and configure it to make cameras available under the DedicatedMicrosNetwork in a NiagaraAX station.

To setup a Micros DVR, do the following:

Connect a monitor to the DVR with an SVideo cable. The login screen automatically displays.
Login to the online screen and follow the instructions for setting up the network TCP/IP configuration to get the DVR on your network.

NOTE: Anytime you change anything on the DVR network settings, you must restart the DVR.
Open a browser application, type the IP address of the DVR into the address bar and press Enter. If you are able to connect the DVR, the home page displays.
On the DVR home page, click the Configuration button. A login screen displays.
Enter the login credentials (User Name and Password). Default values at the time of this publication, are:
- User Name: dm
- Password: web
After login, the Main Setup page displays.
On the Main Setup page, set the Browser Settings property to ‟Java Applet”. Make sure the ‟Browser Settings” property is set to ‟Java Applet”.
You will need to configure some cameras so it knows what is connected. In the menu on the left side of the screen, select “Cameras” on the left and “Camera and Record Setup”. Check the “Connected” column for each one hooked up, give each one a title, and under “Camera Type”, pick “Colour” (assuming they are not black and white).

NOTE: For PTZ cameras, you will need to configure the telemetry later.
Setup a user account by selecting the “System” section and choosing “User Accounts” in that section. Use the same dm and web credentials.
Then you probably will want to give access to all cameras so just select “all” for camera selection, and then save the account.
In the bottom section, create a video account by selecting “Add” and giving it a user name and password.
Test the settings as follows:
- On the left side, select “Home” and “Live Page”. A page opens.
- At the bottom of the open page, select a connected camera (1-N). The DVR should prompt you for a user name and password.
- Enter the user name and password that you used earlier and click OK. If the credentials are correct and the connection is good, you should see a picture.
