Introduction

Product Overview

ACTi ENR-100 Series (hereafter referred to as ENR) is a compact and reliable multi-channel

standalone NVR. It features a stable embedded Linux operating system and capabilities of

supporting mega-pixel resolution H.264 streaming, an HDMI output for local display, PTZ

control, scheduled / event-triggered / event speed-up recording, event management,

synchronized playback, time / event-based playback search and video bookmarks. Its smart

Setup Wizard and intuitive user interface allow the system installer to enjoy effortless

installation experience, while making it easy for new users to get acquainted with the

operation by first-time use. Other than the local client, the remote PC client may access the

ENR system simultaneously, and experience user-friendly web interface customized for

browser-based operations.

ENR Server / Client Architecture

In a video surveillance system architecture, ENR serves as service provider, aimed to run

24/7 non-stop video management service for clients. An ENR client makes requests for

monitoring video stream or playing back recordings from ENR.

There are two types of ENR clients: Local Client and Remote Client.A client, connecting

from whether a remote computer or from local, will be offered the same functionalities of

ENR.

Local Client: In the local site, the client user directly operates ENR by connecting an HDMI

monitor and a USB mouse to the physical ENR.

Remote Client: Over the TCP/IP network, the Remote Client communicates with ENR

through HTTP Protocol. This client user will have to use a computer with Internet Explorer

to access the ENR web interface, without the need of installing any client program

beforehand. Logging in to ENR is as simple as visiting a website.

Network Connection Architecture

When connecting ENR with your network, please make sure you plug the network cable into

the right port.

ENR-110/120/130

ENR-140/190

LAN 1 Port

LAN 1 port is the default camera port for a typical local network. Via this port, the DHCP

server built in ENR automatically assigns IP addresses to network cameras once they are

connected. With this feature, you do not have to bother arranging the camera IP addresses

on your own. By default, this DHCP server is enabled, so please avoid connecting ENR to a

network where exits another DHCP server via this port.

Connection Setting Example 1

Below diagram displays an example connection setting using only LAN1 to connect networks

cameras.

In this setting, ENR altogether with cameras are within the same network segment; in the

mean time, there is no need of referencing another DHCP server in this system.

LAN 1 Port (Camera Port)

Default: 192.168.0.10

LAN 2 Port (WAN Port)

Default: Dynamic /192.168.1.10

www.acti.com

ENR-100 Series System Administrators Manual

33

LAN 2 Port

LAN2 port is a typical Ethernet port. You will have to use this port to connect with a different

network segment when your system requires (1) the connection with a remote PC client or

network cameras, (2) the use of event-triggered e-mail service via an external SMTP server

(3) the use of date/time synchronization with external NTP server.

By default, once connecting to a network, it will first try to get an IP address assigned by your

network router from DHCP server. If your network does not assign IP address automatically,

then LAN2 port will assume IP address 192.168.1.10.

Connection Setting Example 2

The diagram below displays an example connection setting using LAN1 + LAN2 to connect

Disk Management

ENR keeps the recordings on SATA hard disks installed in it. Whenever recording is taking

place, ENR writes data to one of the disks, and switch to the other as the original one is full.

Once the available space of the whole system is less than the reserved size, ENR will start

deleting the oldest file to make the amount of space allowing each active channel to record

for another 10 minutes.

You may observe the disk memory and recording status on Storage page.

On Live screen, click Setup click System tab click Storage. The connected storage

devices will be shown in the Storage Device list. Select a storage device to check its

Storage Information appearing as below.

Storage Device Types

SATA1 represents the disk installed in upper bay for saving recordings.

SATA2 represents the disk installed in lower bay for saving recordings.

Storage Media represents the connected USB disk that you inserted for carrying

firmware image file, backup file, exported system log file, snapshots or video.

Format Hard Disks

Any newly-installed hard disk has to be formatted into ENR file system format. Click Format

to start formatting a new disk. After formatting, this disk will become ready for recording.

During normal operation, DO NOT REMOVE ANY DISK FROM THIS UNIT, or it might cause

damage to the disks. You can only remove or install a disk when the device is shut down.

Please note that the system will stop recording during the disk formation.

Storage Settings - Set Recording Deletion Rule

In ENR system, there are two file-deletion mechanisms:

1. User defined - Maximum Recording Days

ENR can keep recording files for a certain number of days defined by you. Set this rule if you

have more concern about how long the recordings are kept, especially when you do not want

the old recordings to stay longer in the system than a certain period. By default, this rule is

not activated, to modify it, check the box to input a number between 1~999 and click Apply.

2. Default - Automatic Disk Deletion

This is the default file deletion rule. When the total recordable disk space is full, an amount of

disk space for approximate ten-minute long recording will be cleared to save new recordings.

If you activate the Maximum Recording Days rule, either of the thresholds reached earlier

will execute the deletion first. Given that you set the Maximum Recording Days as 5 days,

the recording files that stay on the disks longer than this period will be deleted, despite that

there is still plenty of available disk space; on the other hand, if your disk space is not enough

to keep all the recordings for 5 days, ENR will still delete the oldest files whenever the space

is full.

Before setting up the rules, you can make use of a handy storage calculator provided by ACTi

to find out the estimated storage your system requires: http://www.acti.com/project_planner

Also, be careful when you apply the Maximum Recording Days setting, for ENR will execute

the deletion rule immediately whenever you click Apply, meaning that the all the recording

files kept longer than the last applied number of maximum days are just deleted in no time.

Hard disk failure often comes after detectable signs and thus can be predicable, thus it is

important to detect these signs long before they really cause disk failures.

ENR performs S.M.A.R.T. Disk check on 24-hour basis since last check. This technology

enables a system to monitor the disk status and anticipate disk failures, helping the system

administrator to prevent from unexpected outage and data loss.

You may manually perform an instant S.M.A.R.T check by clicking Refresh.

Once the disk a appears in WARNING, FAILED, or UNKNOWN status, it is not reliable

for recording, and may fail when the number of bad sectors on the disk has grown high

enough.

Schedule Recordings

Unlike the traditional analog surveillance system, the IP surveillance system provides a

target-oriented recording schedule for devices; the view of each device can be recorded

based on your required time segments and event types. For example, you may have a

camera installed on the office ceiling do continuous recording during work hours, and record

only upon the triggers (incidents that detected by system) at night. In this way, the system

does not waste disk space storing meaningless parts, and you save lots of effort browsing

playback for specific events.

For the recording schedule, ENR supports Schedule recording, Event recording and

Event Speed-up Recording modes, which are set up on a week-based timetable; the

event-handling schedule is configured here.

On ENR, you can configure cameras recording schedule on 7 days / 24 hours basis. The

schedule is split into segments of one-hour-length. By default, once a device is added to the

system, its schedule is automatically set to full-time schedule recording and event handling.

You should configure it according to your system plan.

On Live screen Select Setup click Schedule tab and select one channel.

Pre-event Recording

Buffer (sec):

ENR keeps a short cache of video received from devices. If an event

is triggered, ENR will automatically store the pre-event buffer along

Event Management

When something happens on camera site, such as someone walks by, the door opens or a

fire breaks out these are all Events. The event which occurs in the environment and was

pre-programmed in the camera serves as Triggers. Triggers cause the device to react with

Responses. The link between trigger and response is governed by Event Rules. Each event

rule detects one specific trigger and may initiate multiple responses. An example rule would

be for ENR to send an e-mail to alert the manager (Response 1) and trigger the alarm

(Response 2) when motion on camera site is detected (Trigger) during the event handing

active period (Schedule).

Each device can be involved in several event rules. As different camera models possess

various capabilities, the supported response types would vary. For example, a PTZ camera

can execute a go-to preset point response, while this option is not available for other models

without this feature.

Event-Handling Schedule

Event rules become active or inactive based upon a weekly schedule, to enable

event-handling service, you will have to make sure the event-handing schedule of certain

device is well configured. By default, the event-handling schedule of each camera is enabled

for 24 hours once it is added to ENR system.

To configure the Event Handling Schedule, on Live screen, click Setup click Schedule,

select the camera, and drag on the 24-hour time table.

Configure Fisheye Cameras

With hemispherical lenses, fisheye cameras generate images at up to 360-degree width,

which can cover all four corners of a room or both sides of a long aisle. As the original image

captured by wide-angle lens is much distorted, to suit most monitoring purposes, the

Dewarping process is required to alter the uneven lines and shapes before the images are

displayed. Nowadays, the fisheye cameras come in two types in terms of the

image-correction capability:

Fisheye Cameras with in-camera dewarping function

The dewarping takes places in camera before the video is output to NVR server. Since the

image correction counts on the camera itself, NVR server will not bear much extra loading,

which benefits the system requiring many of these fisheye cameras (e.g. ACTi KCM-3911,

KCM-7911)

Fisheye Cameras without dewarping function

These fisheye cameras output only original global images, relying on software algorithm

processing provided by NVR sever to correct the images. They are suitable for a system

with limited bandwidth, for NVR server processes and responds to Users ePTZ

manipulation or demands for changing view modes immediately, without waiting for camera

side to deliver a new frame (e.g. ACTi E96).

ENRs software algorithm can perfectly corrects the original fisheye images, generating 6

specific fisheye view modes from Users usual perspective. As a remote client, you may

Select a desired fisheye view mode on Live screen and manipulate virtualized ePTZ

operation with onscreen controls.

Export the video clip of your desired fisheye view mode.

To make use of ENRs dewarping features for your fisheye cameras, please

1. Adjust Video Quality Settings

After the fisheye camera is successfully added, go to Setup pageCameras tab, select the

device and then click Get Camera Settings, make sure you set the Stream Mode as

FISHEYE for a hemispheric camera ( KCM-3911, KCM-7911) .This is to make sure this

hemispheric camera is outputting fisheye original video stream as a mini fisheye dome

camera does.

2. Adjust Fisheye Display Settings

Select your Mounting Type, and then Default Fisheye Mode. For a fisheye mode containing

panorama view, you may want to configure the Default Rotate X (width of view) and Default

Rotate Y (height of view) configurations.
