Workflow

1. Network Setup: Setting a Static IP, enabling external access via port forwarding

a. LAN Setup: static IP address assigned by site IT staff

b. Port Setup: forward ports to allow Device commands to be sent from I-View Now

2. Configure SMTP email: This will be used to communicate alerts and alarms to I-View Now. The SMTP server and

SMTP ID provided on the “Installer Data” Worksheet will be used here

3. User Setup: Change the default administrator password. I-View Now will be using this password to log into the

device. I-View Now suggests using the suggested password on the “Installer Data” worksheet.

4. Recording Setup: The DVR will be set to record by schedule or by events. Event recording will only record when

either a motion or alarm event is detected. Scheduled recordings occur during the scheduled time.

5. Alarm Input Setup: Here the technician will be setting up the alarm inputs on the back of the DVR to perform

two actions: 1) Trigger recording on all connected cameras. And most importantly, 2) Send SMTP (email) alert to

I-View Now upon the event of an alarm.

6. Motion Detection Setup: activate video motion recording for desired cameras.

7. Configure I-View Now Entry Delay: Entry delay is configured through the I-View Now portal.

8. Test: Here you will test the individual inputs on the DVR as they are connected to your alarm panel relays or

other input devices. It is recommended that you test all inputs for functionality and to ensure the proper

configuration has been setup in the I-View Now portal.

9. Trouble Shooting: This section is provided to help the technician troubleshoot common problems encountered

while installing DVR’s.

Installation Worksheet

The I-View Now Portal will provide an Installation Worksheet after entering the DVR make and model into the system.

This sheet will contain configuration information for the DVR’s notifications area, and provides a form to fill in details

about the site setup (alarms, zone names). An example worksheet is printed below.

You will need to retrieve the IP address while on-site. Either ask the customer/IT department for the IP address, or visit

http://ipalarmtools.com while on-site for the correct address.

Default DVR Login

Plug a monitor into the VGA output on the DVR. Also, plug the mouse provided with the DVR into the front side USB port

of the DVR unit. The default password is admin. Be aware that the Menu’s presented in this manual can vary slightly

depending on the exact model and firmware version.

User Name: admin

Password: 12345

Network Setup

After logging into the device for the first time, the first setting that should be changed is the IP address. The DVR

requires a static internal IP address because one or more communication ports will have to be forwarded to it from the

firewall/router on site.

RightClick “Setup” at the bottom of the screen

Click Main Menu

Login with User: admin Pass: 12345

You will be presented with the MAIN MENU Bar

From the Main Menu click on the Hammer and Screwdriver for “SETTING” and Choose “NETWORK”

Flir M3200/M4200 Series Installation Guide rev 1.0 Page 6

Start with the TCP/IP Screen

Get an available Internal Static IP Address from the Site’s IT staff

Also ask for the default gateway

(router address) and subnet mask.

Uncheck DHCP

Enter the IP Address

Enter the Gateway Address

For the DNS server either ask the

Site’s IT staff for a preferred DNS

server or just use the Google

public DNS server at 8.8.8.8 and

8.8.4.4

If the default TCP port 4000 is

already in use it can be changed

here as well

Set Max Connections to the Maximum allowed (for example on the DNR400 the Maximum is 10)

Click save/apply to ensure no settings are lost before proceeding

Next Choose “CONNECTION”

Set the default Ports as seen in the

screenshot. Please make sure these

are open in the router/firewall for

communication.

Click save/apply to ensure no settings

are lost before proceeding

SMTP EMail Settings

This section describes how to set up SMTP (email) on the DVR to allow Alarm notifications to be sent to I-View Now.

Navigate to the “EMAIL” Setting in

Network

Make sure Enable is checked.

Enter ivnview.com for the SMTP

server

Enter 9116 for the Port

For Sender, Enter the SMTP ID

from the Installer’s Worksheet.

For Receiver, Enter the SMTP ID

from the Installer’s Worksheet.

Yes, Sender and Receiver are the

same

Change Subject to ALERT

Ensure Enable SSL is chosen

Set Event interval to 0 Minutes

Click “Test” in lower left to verify

connectivity

Click Apply to Save the settings

Test Failure can occur if the SMTP Server, SMTP Port, SSL, DNS, or Firewall settings are incorrect. This Test will not verify

that the Sender and Receiver are correct. It just verifies connectivity to the I-View Now SMTP Server.

UPnP Setup

If the customer’s router supports UPnP – port forwarding can be accomplished automatically.

To check UPnP availability –Choose UPnP in

the Network Menu

Click on “Enable”

In status you will see “Searching Now”

If UPnP is available port mapping details will

be displayed

If UPnP is available and you wish to use it,

click “Apply” to Save your changes.

(Non-UPnP) Router Settings

Router settings must be examined on a case by case basis. I-View Now requires one port to be forwarded to the Device.

This can be done either through port forwarding or NAT (Network Address Translation) depending on what the

installation site’s router supports. With either of these router features, any unused/unfiltered External Port can be

forwarded to the TCP Port (also referred to as the video port). The other approach would be to forward external ports to

the DVR using the same External Port and Internal Port. In this case, the ports must be set on the DVR through Network

Settings. Common ports used for forwarding the HTTP port are 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027 or 8080. Common ports used for

forwarding the Video/TCP port are 8010, 8011, 9000, and 9010.

For any of these situations it is the External IP Address and External Port numbers that must be entered into the I-View

Now “Installer’s Portal.”

Note: Any ports used must be unblocked in any firewall devices (typically just the router).

User Settings

This section instructs the tech on how to setup a user account for customer usage. The reason for setting up a separate

account is not to lock them out of the DVR, it is to prevent them from making changes to the DVR that would inhibit the

DVR’s use with I-ViewNow.

Navigate from the Main Menu and choose “Setting” under “Setting”

Click on Account

Click Add User

Enter the desired user name

Enter the desired password

Enter the password again to confirm

Select Group User

This process can be repeated for more additional users if necessary

Recording Setup

The Flir DVR records video VIA 2 different stream types. I-ViewNow utilizes the sub-stream from the DVR.

Encoding Settings

The Encoding setup determines format of the video record onto the DVR. For clips to be decoded properly the frame

rate must be set to 15 FPS or less on the recording channel being utilized. I-View Now suggests setting up all recording

channels in this manner to avoid any potential issues when upgrading or adding cameras to the system.

Navigate to Camera>Recording

Select Continuous for one type and Sub

Stream 1 for the other (see example)

Select Compression

Select Appropriate Channel

Set Compression H.264 for both

Set Resolution CBR for both

Set Continuous to FPS 25

Set Sub Stream 1 to FPS 5

Set Regular Stream Bit Rate to 4096

Set Extra Stream Bit rate to 224

Click Apply/Save
