5.1 Configure TCP/IP Address in DSAdmin

The TCP/IP address that is stored in the database is used by the DigitalSENTRY client software to

connect to the VideoServer to gain access to live and recorded video. To make the video data

available to users on the corporate network, the stored TCP/IP address is compatible with the

corporate network. When the VideoServer service starts, it updates the DigitalSENTRY database with

the TCP/IP address of the computer.

Configure the TCP/IP address in Windows for each network adapter. Start the VideoServer and

DSAdmin on the NVR, and then look at the TCP/IP address assigned to the VAU. If the TCP/IP

address is compatible with the corporate network (10.159.16.81 in the previous example), then you

are finished.

If the TCP/IP address is compatible with the IP camera network (192.168.7.95 in the previous

example), swap the network cables between the two network adapters in the NVR. When the

VideoServer restarts, the TCP/IP address is updated to an address compatible with the corporate

network. Make sure you restart DSAdmin after restarting the VideoServer service.

5.2 Advantages

5.2.1 Accessibility

Anyone on the corporate network can install the DigitalSENTRY client software and review live and

recorded video from the NVR.

5.2.2 Security Controlled within the DigitalSENTRY Software

User accounts are managed within the DigitalSENTRY software. Network administration is not

required.

5.2.3 Network Performance

The heavy network traffic between the IP cameras and the NVR is contained within the IP camera

network, with little impact on the corporate network. For optimal performance, the server running the

DS NVR software should have dual gigabit network adapters. The network adapter connected to the

corporate network should be connected to a gigabit port. The computers connected to the corporate

network can be connected to 100 MB connections.

5.2.4 Simple Network Administration

After the dual network adapters have been properly configured on the DS NVR system, no additional

network configuring is necessary. This design can be easily implemented with little interaction with

any corporate IT personnel.

5.3 Disadvantages

5.3.1 Network Performance

The corporate network backbone network hardware governs the network performance between all

DigitalSENTRY clients and the DS NVR system. To optimize network performance, someone with a

good understanding of switched networks should review the design. The IT person responsible for

supporting the corporate network should have the necessary background.

5.3.2 IP Camera Administration

Most DigitalSENTRY administrative functions are available by running DSAdmin on a computer
