EMERGENCY AGENT OVERVIEW

The Emergency Agent software is a utility that streams video across a Local Area Network to a Client PC when an alarm is detected on the DVR. The video that streams across can be stopped, played forwards and backwards, in slow motion or real speed.

The utility is loaded at startup and placed in the taskbar. It constantly monitors for a signal from the DVR. When an alarm signal is detected the Emergency Agent Image Viewer window opens and starts playing the video from the camera associated to the alarm.

CAUTION: SCS and Emergency Agent are not compatible to run on the same PC. If you have SCS installed you do not need Emergency Agent. SCS will perform the same alarm notification as Emergency Agent.

Configuring the DVR

To enable the Emergency Agent on the DVR follow these steps:

1.Enter Setup and confirm you are in the Camera Setup Menu.

2.Select a camera and then associate sensor(s) to that camera using the Sensor Connection Boxes.

3.Click the Network Setup button and make sure that Disable Remote Control is not checked.

NOTE: The Emergency Agent uses one port to transfer the data through (the Emergency Port). The port can be adjusted inside the Network Setting Menu if necessary. It is recommended that the default setting should be used unless the port must be changed.

4.Click the Schedule Setup button.

5.Select the Sensor option to open the sensor schedule window.

6.Enter the IP Address of the computer running the Emergency agent software.

7.Click the box next to the IP Address to enable it.

8.Create a schedule for the appropriate sensor.

9.Highlight the sensor schedule blocks and click the [E] Emergency Agent button.

NOTE: The DVR will not send alarm events to the Client PC if the sensor schedule does not have the Emergency Agent Alarm Option enabled.

10.Click Apply.
