DS NVR and DS NVs Basics
DS NVR and DS NVs are network video recorders that use DigitalSENTRY as
the video monitoring and management software. DS NVR is an all-inclusive,
standalone video recorder; DS NVs is a software-only solution that can be
installed on an existing server, as described in the following section.
For information on installing DS NVR, see the DS Hardware Installation &
Field Service Manual.

DS NVs Minimum Requirements
DS NVs can be installed on a computer that meets the following minimum
requirements:
•Industry-Standard, Intel Platform, Server-Grade Motherboard
•Dual Xeon Processors (32-input system) or Intel P4 3.2GHz Processor
(16-input system or smaller)
•1GB RAM
•Dual Gigabit Network Interface Cards (NICs)
•Microsoft Windows XPe, XP Pro, 2003 Server Operating System
•7200rpm Hard Drive (minimum of one); can be SCSI or SATA*
•Drive Controller Card**
•CD-RW
•Standalone systems: 20GB available storage for operating system
and applications
•Distributed systems: 160GB available storage for operating system,
applications, and video storage
*If all video will be stored on the DS NVs server, you must add the appropriate
quantity, speed, and size of drives required to meet the storage requirement. If
the video will be stored on an external storage subsystem, you must also install
a suitable SCSI Card.
**The transmission I/O rate of the Drive Controller Card is important. For best
performance, select a system that has a robust controller card, especially if you
have a high camera count (20–32 IP cameras) or when using high-throughput
cameras (such as iPIX).
TCP/IP Addresses
The DS NVs server must have two network interface cards (NICs)—one to
communicate with the IP camera network, and the other to communicate with
other computers, such as clients computers used to remotely monitor the
system. Each NIC has a unique TCP/IP address, and the DSAdmin software
must recognize the address of the NIC used to communicate with other
computers.
When you first run DSAdmin (which is described in greater detail in the
following chapter), check the TCP/IP address that is assigned to the VAU. If
the TCP/IP address displayed is applicable to the IP camera network, switch the
network cables plugged in to each NIC and restart the system. Then run
DSAdmin again and ensure that the TCP/IP address assigned to the computer
network is displayed.

DSAdmin
This chapter describes DSAdmin, the application that configures
DigitalSENTRY software and the DS NVR/NVs hardware. In this chapter
the following topics are discussed:
•Overview of DSAdmin and its directory tree
•Adding and configuring servers, VAUs, and cameras
•User administration
•Creating camera groups
•Enabling email notification
Also in this chapter is a list of special configuration parameters, and much
more.

DSAdmin Overview
DSAdmin is the administration program that configures a DS NVR/NVs for
daily use. DSAdmin is used to configure DS NVR/NVs servers, video acquisi-
tion units (VAUs), and cameras, along with recording rates, video settings,
recording schedules, and much more. DSAdmin also allows you to set up
zones, serial input devices, and other important elements of the DS NVR/NVs
system.
To run the DSAdmin program, select it from the Start menu and enter your
login information (see Note). When DSAdmin first runs, the name of the client
computer is displayed in the gray title bar and the Folder Items area. The
Server List field contains a path to a local .INI file containing a list of servers
that the client is allowed to connect to.
If the login information entered during DSAdmin startup does not
match the login information for the available systems, you are also
asked to enter login information for those systems. See the
“Adding Systems” section of this chapter for a discussion on
system login information.

The DSAdmin Directory Tree
A DS NVR/NVs system is a collection of servers, VAUs, and cameras, which
the DSAdmin program organizes into a directory tree. This tree illustrates the
relationship between all the parts and allows you to add, subtract, or modify
any of them.
Look at the sample tree in Figure 1. At the top of the tree is a directory named
after the client system—in this case, 17PC. Under 17PC is the Available
Systems directory, which contains a list of all servers available for the client to
connect to—in the figure, the available system is DS NVs.
Under each server are several directories containing all the cameras, VAUs,
zones, and other hardware and configurations that are available through the
selected server.
