DETEXI NVR 17 - 169

5. Runtime Configuration

For most settings, the NVR services support r u n t i m e c o n f i g u r a t i o n . This means that changes can

be made to cameras, users, etc. without stopping the NVR services.

When you are ready for your changes to take effect, you should synchronize the services with the

current configuration. The Synchronize button is found in the upper right corner of the NVR Control

Center, no matter what page is active.

6. View System Log

To view log messages that the system components write to a common log file in the NVR Control Center

— Monitor click Log viewer at the bottom right corner.

7. Turn off Services not Currently in Use

NVR archive, according to the configured schedules, preferences, alarms and

events.

9 Check Drive service monitors the condition of the storage path and device to

confirm existence and available space for new video being recorded to the archive.

8. Assign NVR Status Task

DETEXI IP-Surveillance reliability checking is based on the Task Execution Engine. If something

happens to the system, hardware or one of the DETEXI NVR components, certain task assigned to this

event is executed.

But what if something happens to the Task Execution Engine by itself?

The obvious conclusion is — you will never have any task executed at all and you will never know that
