Setting Up the Backchannel, Networked Cameras

VR-N100U USERS MANUAL

2.4.5. Step 4: Setting Up the Backchannel

Once VR-N100U has been successful installed onto your network, the next step is to configure the “back channel” (also referred as the camera or video channel) along with the networked cameras.

Backchannel 10/100 Mbit Switch

A dedicated quality Unmanaged Layer 2 24-Port 10/100 Mbit Switch will now be required to physically attach up to sixteen (16) VR-N100U supported networked cameras for each VR-N100U. The VR-N100U will communicate, setup, and manage the networked cameras via this backchannel.

1.Utilizing the CAT5/CAT5e network cable, proceed to connect LAN2 of VR-N100U to a one of the ports (e.g. port 17) of the dedicated Unmanaged Layer 2 24-Port 10/100 Mbit Switch. Both cable and switch were part of the VR-N100U packaging.

2.Attach the power cord to the 10/100 Mbit switch and proceed to power on the switch.

Networked Cameras

WARNING: BEFORE connecting and powering on the networked cameras, the VR-N100U MUST BE powered on and online. Failure to do so may cause one or more of the networked cameras to be configured incorrectly, thus VR-N100U would not be able to recognize or manage the video device.

VR-N100U specifications

The JVC VR-N100U is a state-of-the-art network video recorder designed to enhance the efficiency and functionality of modern surveillance systems. With its robust architecture and a suite of advanced features, this device meets the demands of both commercial and residential applications.

One of the standout features of the VR-N100U is its ability to support high-definition video recording. The device can handle resolutions up to 4K, which ensures that users receive crystal-clear footage. This is particularly beneficial for identifying details in critical incidents, enhancing overall security measures.

The VR-N100U is equipped with an intuitive user interface that makes it easy for operators to navigate through various settings and functionalities. It supports seamless integration with JVC’s line of IP cameras, allowing for a flexible and scalable surveillance solution. The NVR can manage multiple cameras simultaneously, enabling users to monitor several areas in real-time.

A key technological feature of this model is its advanced compression capabilities. The VR-N100U supports H.264 and H.265 compression formats, which optimize storage requirements without compromising video quality. This is especially advantageous in environments with limited storage capacity, as it maximizes the retention period of recorded footage.

Another critical characteristic of the JVC VR-N100U is its built-in redundancy options. It offers RAID configurations that enhance fault tolerance, ensuring that critical data remains secure even in the event of a hardware failure. This level of reliability is essential for security operations, where data integrity and availability are paramount.

Additionally, the NVR provides remote access capabilities, allowing users to view live footage and recorded content from anywhere via the internet. This feature enhances the flexibility of monitoring and allows for timely responses to potential security threats. The JVC VR-N100U is also compatible with mobile applications, offering users the convenience of managing their surveillance systems directly from their smartphones or tablets.

With PoE (Power over Ethernet) support, installation is streamlined, as the device can receive power and data through a single Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for additional power adapters, simplifying the setup process.

In summary, the JVC VR-N100U is an excellent choice for those looking to implement a reliable and high-performance network video recording solution. Its impressive features, advanced technology, and user-friendly interface make it a valuable asset in any security system. Whether for business or home use, the VR-N100U delivers exceptional performance and peace of mind.
