Description
Pelco, Inc. has developed and tested a plan for implementing McAfee® VirusScan® Plus with SiteAdvisor™ 2007. VirusScan Plus provides an additional degree of protection against viruses and can be installed, configured, and activated on your DX8100 digital video recorder (DVR).
To ensure correct and effective installation of VirusScan software on the DX8100, read and follow the steps presented in this document. For additional information about configuring and using VirusScan, refer to the McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008 User Guide.
NOTE: New viruses are created every day. To remain effective, your antivirus software must be active and updated on a regular basis. Pelco is not responsible for the failure of an individual or organization to update antivirus software and virus definition files. Scanning the hard disk system for viruses while the DX8100 is recording may result in lost video data. Virus scanning should only be performed manually while the DX8100 is not in record, search, or playback modes. Pelco is not responsible for damage or loss to equipment, software, video, or other data resulting from computer viruses. Please refer to your antivirus software manual for more information on protecting against the viruses.
Working with McAfee VirusScan Plus
•Using the automatic update feature: The automatic update feature is enabled by default, and VirusScan Plus will attempt to access the Internet to download new virus definitions. The update feature should be configured to be compatible with the network environment in which the DX8100 is installed. If the network has security protections that block the DX8100 from accessing the Internet, the automatic update feature should be disabled. For information about disabling the automatic update feature, refer to Configuring on page 3.
•Using the automatic scan feature: To minimize any impact that an automatic scan might have on recording video, configure the automatic scan to run at a time that does not conflict with recording video.
