VIRTUAL DVR
Virtual DVR is a unique feature of DVR NetView that can help you manage multiple DVRs. A Virtual
DVR is not an actual DVR system, but represents a group of many DVRS already listed in the DVR
Indicator window. For each Virtual DVR set, up to 64 DVRs can be added, using one camera from
each DVR. The Virtual DVR behaves in the same manner as real DVR, save for the warning
notifications.

Creating a Virtual DVR

Use the Virtual Set List Manager to help you create a Virtual DVR.
To create a Virtual DVR:
1. From the DVR NetView main screen, click (Add Virtual DVR). The Virtual DVR Set List
manager opens.
2. Under NAME, enter a title for your Virtual DVR. For example, GROUP1.
3. Click ADD VIRTUAL SET.
NOTE: APPLY is only used to edit changes to an existing Virtual DVR. Click APPLY, then OK.
4. Optional: select the following options:
• Auto Arrange: NetView will arrange cameras with any events occurring from a Virtual DVR
with registered cameras—cameras with triggered events are moved to channel 1, then
arranged in order of priority
• Auto Insert & Arrange: NetView will add, prioritize and arrange cameras with any of the
events occurring from any cameras
• Alarm, Motion, Video Loss: Select these options to have cameras with alarm, motion, or video
loss triggers be prioritized and arranged automatically in Auto Arrange or Auto Insert &
Arrange
5. Click OK to save the Virtual DVR and close the window.
ATTENTION: If you are only using one DVR with DVR NetView, please skip this section.
