==NVR Setup==
+
Supported IP Camera=
−
Note: for faster installation, use Control4 SDDP!
+
Control4 can only support up to 720P for video streaming or snapshot from IP cameras, so the customer will need to contact their regional TC for getting customized firmware for the IP cameras
−
 
+
</tabber>
−
Using Control4 SDDP for installation:
 
−
*Click on the Discovered Tab and find the nvr:
 
−
 
−
[[file:Control4_Setup1.png|600px]]
 
−
 
 
−
*Enter Username and Password for NVR
 
−
*Recommend setting IP address to Static or use DHCP Reservation
 
−
*Make connections for NVR according to standard Control4 procedures
 
−
 
 
−
==Setup NVR Streams (H.264, MJPEG)==
 
−
Note: Certain older Control4 equipment require MJPEG for video stream (HC800, HC250, Infinity Touchscreens etc..).  If these older devices are used at property, the dealer MUST enable Sub Stream and set to MJPEG.  If dealer is using T3 and EA controllers, MJPEG does not need to be used
 
−
 
 
−
*Log into NVR or use GUI and go to Setup
 
−
*Select IMAGE, ENCODE
 
−
*Choose Proper Channel (repeat for each channel)
 
−
*Change Main Stream Settings to the following (note: these settings are best practices; individual systems may require modification of these settings for certain applications)
 
−
 
 
−
1. Code-Stream Type: Continuous
 
−
 
 
−
2. Compression: H.264
 
−
 
 
−
3. Resolution: 1280*720(720P)
 
−
 
 
−
4. Frame Rate(FPS): 13
 
−
 
 
−
5. Bit Rate Type: VBR
 
−
 
 
−
6. Bit Rate: 1024
 
−
 
 
−
IF MJPEG is required do the following:
 
−
 
 
−
1. Enable Sub Stream on Channel
 
−
 
 
−
2. Compression: MJPEG
 
−
 
 
−
3. Resolution: 704*480(D1)
 
−
 
 
−
4. Frame Rate(FPS): 13
 
−
 
 
−
5. Bit Rate: 1024
 
−
 
 
−
==Camera Viewing Setup==
 
−
*Search for Dahua in Search of ComposerPro
 
−
*Add PTZ and Fixed cameras for all cameras you want to view in Control4
 
−
 
 
−
[[file:Control4_Setup2.png|400px]]
 
−
 
 
−
*Make connection for each camera to the correct channel on the nvr
 
−
 
 
−
[[file:Control4_Setup3.png|400px]]
 
−
 
 
−
*By default, the driver chooses the video stream from the NVR. This is acceptable for 1 to 2 cameras only.  If more cameras are required, Select Driver Actions: Set Video from Camera directly, then enter the camera ip address, username and password.
 
−
 
 
−

==Setup Event Notification (Trigger C4 FROM NVR)==
 
−
1. Log into NVR or use GUI and go to Setup
 
−
 
 
−
2. Select Network, Alarm Center
 
−
 
 
−
3. Enable Alarm Center
 
−
 
 
−
4. Protocol Type: ALARM CENTER
 
−
 
 
−
5. Host IP: IP Address of Director
 
−
 
 
−
6. Port: Port listed on Driver Property: Server Communication Port
 
−
 
 
−
7. Self-report Time: Never
 
−
 
 
−
[[file:Control4_Setup5.png|600px]]
 
−
 
 
−
8. Select Event (choose which event you want to monitor)
 
−
 
 
−
9. Choose which event you want Control4 to be notified of
 
−
 
 
−
10. Create proper event action.  The event action should be Alarm Upload
 
−
 
 
−
11. In Composer, Select: Alarm Upload Event and add actions associated with event
 
−
 
 
−
[[file:Control4_Setup6.png]]
