Requirements
 NetVision Software: The NetVision
software must be at least V2.2 with
NetVision SP1 installed or V2.3 or higher.
As well, patches 80a and 92 must be
installed at the NetVision server. NetVision
PCs shipped since July 2005 will already
meet this requirement.
 Port 80: The Director software uses port 80
to communicate with the NetVision PC. As
such, this port must be available for use on
your network, and the NetVision HTTP
Server Port must be set to this value as well.
Locator (NetVision PC): Windows Control Panel,
DSR Configuration, Remote Service Manager,
HTTP Server Port.
 Recording Files: The NetVision video
server must have a recording for that camera
at the time of the event. This typically
means either recording continuously, or
setting up pre-alarm recording and either
using a common input device to trigger the
Director video-event and the NetVision
camera, or using a Director output to trigger
the NetVision camera.
Tip: For details on setting up camera recordings at
the NetVision video server, please refer to the
NetVision online help or User’s Guide. (The User’s
Guide should also be available in PDF format on
your NetVision CD).
 Remote User: To allow defining the
camera(s) in Guardall Director, you will need
a valid NetVision remote user name and
password that has been given the authority
to play videos from the specific camera(s).

The maximum length of individual video files
for a continuous recording can be set
between 3 and 15 minutes at the NetVision
video server PC.

Software-Based Text Paging
(Serial Reporting)
v4.4
About Serial Reporting
In addition to the numeric paging that is
supported through the main panels, the serial
reporting feature allows selected alarm/event
messages to be transmitted to an
alphanumeric pager.
This is done through a serial paging interface
that includes software for configuring its
communication parameters, and pager phone
number, etc.
Events to be Transmitted: Only events that have been
selected for serial reporting will be transmitted in this
way.
