Chapter 3 Software Installation

This chapter describes how to install the NV DVR software and drivers.

The CD-Key is permitted for use on a single computer. It is prohibited to use the CD-key on more than one computer. Once detected, this would cause a system conflict and some of the features might fail to work on both PC.

 

Before installing the software, make sure that the Windows OS patches and the

 

video graphic card driver are UPDATED.

 

 

 

If you have an old version of the NV DVR software installed in your PC, the old

 

copy must be removed. To remove, click Start>Settings>Control Panel and then

 

double click Add/Remove Programs. In Add/Remove Programs list, select NV

 

DVR and then click Remove.

 

 

 

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND having three (3) separate drives for the main system

 

(OS and NV DVR software), storage and backup. The ideal hard disk size for the

 

main drive is 20GB. As for the storage and backup, at least 60GB each. The hard

 

drives format must be in NTFS. This way we can maintain an optimized system for

 

your security.

 

 

 

For Windows 2000, make sure the hyper-threading setting is DISABLED from the

 

PC BIOS system.
