2. User Type: This controls the general configuration for the user you are creating. You will notice that you cannot have more than one admin account.
   1. Operator: This is a user type that has permission to use the NVR configuration menu. Use this account type if you want your user to be able to change and configure your NVR through it’s main menu. Please Note: You can customize exactly what permissions this user gets, but by default, the Operator type is used for tech support and configuration.
   2. Guest: This is a user type that has permission to ONLY view Live View and Playback on your NVR. You can customize exactly what cameras they can view. This is the recommended user for anyone that is only allowed to Live View and Playback your cameras.
3. Password: This is the password that the new user will use to sign into the NVR. It must be considered a “STRONG” password. Once you have decided upon a strong password, you must retype it in the Confirm Password section.
4. Pattern: As with the admin account, your user account can have it’s own distinct lock pattern. This is where you can draw that pattern. Please note that the pattern MUST be distinct from other users, or there will be a conflict.
5. Permissions: This menu allows you to configure permissions for your new user account.
   • 1. Basic Permissions:
        1. Configure: This allows the use of the main menu to configure the settings of the NVR. Only give this option to trusted users.
        2. Upgrade: This allows the user to update the firmware on the cameras and recorder. Only give this option to trusted users.
        3. View and Export…: This allows the user to view and export logs and configuration files. Only give this option to trusted users.

        3. Playback: This allows the user to view Playback on certain cameras. ou can choose either all cameras or specific cameras by selection the camera numbers on the right-hand side. Unselecting a camera will force the error “You Do Not Have Permission” if the user tries to view playback.
        4. Manual Recording on from the NVR: This allows the user to override the recording schedule for your cameras and manually decide when a camera should record. Only give this option to trusted users.

Once you have completed the permissions for your new user, click the “OK” button on the bottom right-hand side. This will take you back to the User screen.

Setting Up Motion Recording Via Web Interface

Motion detection recording allows you to only record footage when there is activity in any of the areas that you are monitoring, making it easier to search for events recorded and also allowing your system to conserve disk space on your NVR’s hard drive.

Step 1. Navigating To The Motion Settings

1. Open the recorder web login by typing the recorders local IP address / external IP / DDNS into the Internet Explorer web browser.
2. Click “Download” at the top of the page to install the web plugin. Make sure you close your browser during the installation.
3. Reopen the recorders login page and login using your user name and password (Default is Username: admin Password: 123456)
4. Once you are logged in navigate to the “Settings” button at the top of the screen
   
5. . Once in the “Settings” menu on the left hand side navigate to “Camera > Motion”
6. All of your motions settings will be found in this menu. The first setting that will need to be configured is the “Area”. To set up the area for detection first click on “Start Drawing”, next on the image provided to the left start in the corner and drag and drop a red grid over the whole image.
   
7. Next make sure that the “Motion” setting is check to the “On” Position.
8. Every situation is different where the camera will be installed. Typically setting the sensitivity to 50 is recommended, then adjusting from there if needed. Either lowering if too many false triggers occur, or raising it if little to no triggers occur
9. Setting the Arming Schedule will be the next tab over.(time when actions will be
   triggered). We usually recommend keeping this at 24/7, but every situation is different!
   
10. Next setting to set up is going to be the “Trigger Actions”. The trigger actions are set up to the camera what to do when motion is detected. The main setting that you want to make sure you have set is the “Trigger Recording”. When setting the trigger reordering setting you want to check on the channel that you are currently configuring, for example if you are configuring motion for camera one in the trigger recorder menu “D1” would be checked on while all the other are unchecked and if you were configuring channel 5 under trigger recorder “D5” would be checked on while all the other were unchecked.
    

Key

• Conventional
  • Buzzer – The NVR’s Speaker will beep when event is triggered.
  • Send Email – NVR will send an Email when Event is Triggered
• Alarm Output – When an event is triggered, the NVR can enable a built in alarm output for a siren, light, etc.
• Recording – When Event is triggered for the particular cam, the NVR will start recording on cams that are checked
• Snapshot – When Event is triggered on the particular camera, the NVR will take a snapshot of any cams that are checked
• Goto Preset – When Event is triggered, the NVR can set a PTZ cam to a specific preset

Step 2. Setting Up The Schedule

1. Next thing to set up will be the Schedule on the recorder. To access these setting navigate to “Settings > Camera > Schedule”
2. Pre-Record is for how much data will be saved from before the motion started. Post-Recorder is how long the camera will keep recording even after it has stopped detecting motion.
3. Make sure that “Recording Schedule” is check to the “On” position.
4. First thing you want to think about is if you want the cameras to record all of the time or on motion in this tutorial we are setting up all camera on motion. If you want the camera to record all of the time by default you can leave the schedule at the all blue color.
5. To change the Schedule to motion you can click the “Motion” button on the right and then drag and drop the green color over each day and hour starting in the corner.
6. Other option for setting up the Schedule is you can click on the “Edit” button just above the upper left corner. This will allow you to manual type in each periods start and end times how you want the recorder to record during that time.
   
   
7. You can then use the “Copy to” drop down to copy the schedule to all cameras or you can manual set up each camera by changing the Camera ID at the top.

How to set up Gmail email alerts on a Uniview NVR

This guide will explain each step to set up email alerts on a Uniview NVR using a Gmail account

Note

If you would like to receive E-mail alerts whenever an event has occurred, we recommend using a Gmail account. It’s free, secure, and easy to configure.  If you don’t already have a Gmail account you can create one here.

First, you’ll need to make sure that your Gmail account is configured to allow “less secure apps” to send E-mail to your account from the NVR.

1. Log into Gmail with your user name and password, then click on your account icon in the top right. Our account has been customized with the Nelly’s “N”.  Yours might have a default user icon.

2. Then click on the “My Account” button:

3. Then click on “Sign-in & Security” on the left:

4. 2-Step Verification: Turn on 2 Step Verification if it’s not enabled, otherwise the setting you need to enable will not be displayed.

5. Now there should be an option for “App passwords” underneath 2-Step Verification. Select this option, Select App and choose “custom” and name it NVR/DVR and it will generate an app password that you will need to save for later.

6. Now that 2-step verification and app passwords are enabled the next step is to log into your NVR by opening a web browser and typing in the IP address.   Alternately, if you have the EZTools software you can click the “e” icon on the right to open the NVR in a web browser.

7. Once you’re logged in to the NVRs web interface go to Setup->Network->Email.  (Click to view full size)

8. First turn the Server Authentication to On, this is required by Gmail.  Next insert each field as explained below:

Username: Full Gmail email address  (ex. nellyssecurity@gmail.com)

Password: Generated App Password

SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com

SMTP Port: 587 – Check the TLS/SSL box

Snapshot Interval: Check the box to attach a snapshot to the email when an event has occurred

Sender: NVR

Sender’s Address: Full Gmail email address

Select Recipient: Here you can choose to send to multiple people

Recipient: The name of the person receiving the email alerts

Recipient Address: Full Gmail email address of the person that will receive the email alerts

Schedule: Whenever you want the emails to send.  By default they are set to send all day every day if they are triggered.

9. Once all the information is in click Save.  Next click the Test button next to “Recipient Address” to send a test email to the specified email address.

10. Lastly, you will need to check the “Send Email” box for the event you want to trigger the alerts.  (Motion Detection, Cross Line Detection, etc)

If you want to set up email alerts for regular motion detection go to Camera->Motion.  The check box can be found under the Trigger Actions tab.

How To Manually Upgrade a UNV NVR Via Web Interface

If your NVR is accessible on the local area network using the web interface, you may update the
firmware using a file that has been downloaded and stored locally.

Within the Setup section of the web interface, go to the Maintenance section and select the Local Upgrade entry. On the screen that comes up, click on the Browse button next to the Upgrade text entry field and browse to the location on the local PC where the firmware file is stored and click on it. Once the file is properly entered, press the Upgrade button and the unit will perform the upgrade procedure including a reboot which will terminate your connection.

Please Note

If you download a firmware off the Nelly’s website, you must export the Zip Folder out of the initial Zip Folder that is downloaded.

Adding Blank UNV Camera To UNV Retail NVR via Plug n Play

In scenarios where a Blank UNV camera is paired with a UNV Retail NVR, these will be plug n play. However, you may not get the full functionality of the Blank UNV Camera right away.

In this guide, we will show you the steps needed to allow the full functionality of the Blank UNV Camera.

Connecting The Camera

Since the Blank UNV cameras are plug n play with UNV Retail NVRs, the camera will come online if it is connected directly to the integrated POE switch of the NVR.

Camera Configuration via NVR

One thing you may notice however, the camera will show added with the ONVIF protocol. This can be very limiting as ONVIF only guarantees a live view and 24/7 recording.

If you go into the Smart Event section of the NVR while the camera is added via ONVIF, you will notice that none are available:

To accommodate for this, Go to Setup -> Camera -> Cameras. Checkmark the Camera, select Modify, change the Add Mode to IP Address, then change the Protocol to Uniview. Save.

Now that the camera is talking via the Uniview protocol, the Smart Events are now available!

Please Note

Not all UNV cameras support Smart Events, be sure to verify what events the camera supports beforehand! If you are unsure what events a camera may support, feel free to contact our Support or check the camera’s spec sheet.

Also Note

This guide will work along with UNV Retail Cameras and UNV Blank NVRs. Just the protocol will be changed to Private instead of Uniview on the Blank NVR.

How to group Uniview Devices in EZStation

Note: EZStation should already be installed and and running.

1. Click Device Management

Adding a Uniview Dual Lens PTZ to a Uniview NVR

Step 1:  Open the web interface for the NVR and go to Setup->Camera->Camera.   Next click the button labeled “Auto Search” and wait a few seconds for it to populate with a list of cameras.

Step 2:  Select the PTZ from the list by checking the box to the left of the IP address. Click the OK button to add the PTZ to the NVR.  (Notice on the Qty column the dual lenz PTZ has a “2” where the other IP cameras have a 1.   This essentially means we can add it to the NVR twice, once for each lens on the PTZ.)

Step 3: On the camera page you should now have two new devices added with the same IP address, one for each lens on the PTZ.

-The Status column will show blue camera icons when connecting the camera, if successful the camera icons will turn green.

-If unsuccessful the icons will turn grey, if so hover your mouse over one of them and it will give you a short message on why it did not connect.

Step 4 (Optional): If you didn’t change the default password on the PTZ it will be connected to the NVR without any additional actions needed.  You’re all set, click the Live View tab to view the PTZ streams.

If the password on the PTZ was changed prior to adding it to the NVR and you are getting the “wrong username or password” message select one of the channels that were added and click the Modify button.  Type in the password that you created for the PTZ in the password field then click the Save button.   Lastly, do the same thing for the second channel stream.

Once you have the password set for both channels the Status icons should turn green (you may need to click the Refresh button a few times).  Now go to the Live View tab to view both PTZ streams.

How to Setup Audio

Audio can be very helpful in CCTV when installing cameras around POS systems, medical buildings, and conference rooms.
The convenience of IP cameras with Audio is that no cables have to be run back to the recorder. All audio will be encoded in the camera and sent through the network to be recorded.

Connecting Microphone to Camera

Each Audio enabled camera has a two wire lead coming out of the pigtail. One is positive and the other is ground, they should be labelled. The best way to connect a MIC to these cables and get the best audio quality is to have a MIC with a RCA connection. Follow the steps below to connect the RCA MIC to the two audio wires.

1. Connect a Video balun to the two audio wires coming from the camera. Positive wire into the positive side of the balun and gray ground into the negative side of the balun.
2. Next connect a BNC to RCA Male connector to the BNC side of the video balun
3. Next plug the RCA Male connector into the MIC’s RCA Female port.

At this point the MIC will need to be powered. If the camera model number is IPC3234SR3-DVZ28 the camera’s 12 volt input can be changed in the camera maintain settings to be a 12 volt output. This output can then power the MIC using the power the camera is getting from PoE. All other camera models will need a 12 volt power ran to the MIC.

1. After the MIC is powered log into the camera on the web browser.
2. Once logged into the camera navigate to Setup > Video & Audio > Audio and change the Audio enable to On for both the Main and Substreams.

Listening To Audio On The NVR

On a Uniview recorder, to listen to the Audio from the camera the first thing is to set the video stream to have the audio enabled. To enable the audio stream open the main menu of the recorder and navigate to Camera > Video > and then select the camera channel number under Camera ID. Once the camera is selected and its encode settings are being displayed change the Audio Stream to On.

After the audio is turned on for the camera exit the main menu and bring the live view images up.
Next select the camera that audio is on so that its channel box is highlighted in yellow. After the camera is selected a small drop down menu will display under or above the camera. In this small menu there is an Audio enable button that looks like a speaker, click this button to enable the camera’s audio. Remember that to hear audio the monitor will need speakers and the video will need to be over HDMI not VGA.

How to setup PTZ control & Basic Functions

PTZs are a great solution to supplement with a CCTV system as it gives the user the ability to Pan and Tilt the camera around as well as optically zooming in on areas of importance.

In this guide, we will be showing how to control the PTZ and its basic functions. This guide will be from the PTZs web interface from a windows-based PC.

Live View Controls

Basic Settings

• Preset Image Freeze
  • When enabled, this function captures a still image and holds it until the camera has moved to the next selected preset, eliminating jarring transitions.
• Stop PTZ Control After Timeout
  • PTZ Manual Control will stop after timeout time.
• Timeout(s)
  • Alloted amount of seconds before the PTZ timeouts
• PTZ Rectification
  • PTZ will reinitialize its preset configuration. Only use this if you notice the PTZ drifting.

Home Position

PTZ camera will return to home position if no operation is made within a specified period.
Note: You need to add presets or a patrol route first. See Add a preset and Add a patrol route for
details

• Mode
  • Preset or Patrol
• ID
  • Choose which preset or patrol for the Home Position
• Idle State(s)
  • PTZ will resume Home Position Mode after allotted number of seconds.

Limit

Set rotation limits to prevent the PTZ camera from hitting obstacles such as a wall.

Remote Control

When the third-party platform is used and the PTZ protocol does not match that, you can set the
remote control function to control the PTZ.

• Listener Port
  • Camera’s local port, which cannot be a port that is already in use. Change the
    default setting only when necessary.
• Address Code
  • The camera can read the address code contained in instructions. The camera
    interprets the instruction only when the address code in the instruction is the
    address code configured here.

Patrol

• Resume Patrol
  • Set the time when patrol resumes.

Configuring WDR

WDR Stands for Wide Dynamic Range. WDR is used when a camera is installed inside a building facing
towards and window or door and allows the camera to see inside and outside with no over exposure or
dark spots.
The WDR on Uniview’s IPC354SR3-ADNPF28-F is 120DB allowing for sight in even the most dramatic of light differences.

Setting up a camera for WDR can be done from the recorder or from being logged directly into the
camera. On the camera the settings are located under “Setup > Image > Exposure”, then turn the
“WDR” setting to “On”

WDR Level/Sensitivity setting will be adjusted based on where the camera is installed and how much of
a light difference there is. This setting will have to be changed after the camera is installed to the customer’s image quality satisfaction. The higher the more range in light difference.

WDR Mode can also be set to “Automatic” this option can be used for when the cameras image has a
lot more of the image outdoor then indoors. This will be the best way for the camera to automatically
adjust for the sun or cloudy weather each day.

WDR Off

WDR On
