Surveillance setup or if you are considering adding cameras to an existing setup.To use the DW Spectrum IP Storage Calculator: Open a web browser and visit the DW Tools and Calculators web page. Select VMAX® IP Plus™ Calculator. From the Cameras tab, click the Add New button to create a new camera row.Note: Only one camera model may be selected for each camera row. If you will be adding more than one camera model to the VMAX® IP Plus, create additional camera rows as needed. Create a Cam Name for the row and set the Quantity (Qty) of cameras for the camera group.For Platform, select VMAX IP Plus.Next, select the Model of the camera group. The remaining recording settings will automatically be set to the maximum quality to provide estimated Data Rate and Required Storage requirements.Once satisfied with the settings, click the Next button. From the Server Filters tab recommended models of the VMAX® IP Plus will be listed under Compatible Servers, according to the settings specified in the Cameras tab. Proceeding through the Server Information and Preview & Save tabs will allow you to select NVR options that meet the requirements of the setup outlined in the Cameras tab.

VMAX® IP Plus Storage Calculator-----------------------------------Affected Roles: AdministratorComplexity: LowLast Edit: August 16, 2024-----------------------------------Recording StorageWhen using the VMAX® IP Plus to capture and record camera video, the video recordings are archived and stored within the NVR’s hard drive. Unless otherwise specified, the VMAX® IP Plus will overwrite old stored footage once the hard drive reaches capacity. This is so that your VMAX® IP Plus can continue to archive video footage, rather than being forced to stop recording altogether.There are different factors that determine how long video archives are stored on the hard drive before being overwritten. The estimated storage time for a hard drive is affected by the overall recording settings of the NVR, the number of cameras involved, and the total storage capacity of the hard drive.This article will outline how to use the DW IP Storage Calculator to determine the estimated storage time of your VMAX® IP Plus.Note: We do not recommend replacing your hard drive as the immediate response for increasing storage time. Digital Watchdog will not be liable for the loss of data or consequential damages resulting from replacing a hard drive.Note: If you are experiencing recording issues with your VMAX® IP Plus and do not believe that it is due to the system recording settings, check out Troubleshooting Recording Errors For A VMAX IP Plus.Supported/Affected Devices: VMAX® IP Plus SeriesStorage ManagementAdjusting Recording SettingsDepending on the overall storage capacity of the hard drive and recording parameters, storage time will vary. Recording quality settings, such as the resolution, bitrate, and compression, can be adjusted in the IP Camera Setup menu of the VMAX® IP Plus.To find the IP Camera Setup menu: As an Administrator at the VMAX® IP Plus, right-click with the mouse and select Menu to open the Setup Menu. From the Setup Menu, select Record, then select Camera Management.Next, click on the Advanced toggle button, then click the Setup button of the desired camera channel. Click the Get Stream button, then click the Setup button next to Rec. Stream.The IP Camera Stream Setup window will display.Repeat this process for any additional cameras to reduce the consumption of

-----------------------------------Affected Roles: All UsersLast Edit: August 19, 2024-----------------------------------Virtual PortsThe VMAX IP Plus recording unit features a local PoE switch (15.4W per PoE channel) that is locally integrated into the unit. By connecting cameras directly to the onboard PoE switch, most IP cameras can be easily powered and added to the recording unit.When communicating with IP cameras over a network, the use of the IP address and port number of the device are required. However, cameras that are connected through the onboard PoE switch of the VMAX IP Plus are assigned to a virtual port and the NVR's sub-network, meaning that the IP addresses that are assigned to the cameras differ from the common IP address scheme of the network.This article will outline how virtual ports are assigned to cameras that are connected to the VMAX IP Plus, as well as how to connect with the cameras using a web browser.Note: To access cameras through the NVR’s Virtual Ports, the VMAX IP Plus must be connected and set up on a local network. To learn more about setting up the network settings, please read Network Setup For The VMAX IP Plus.Supported/Affected Devices VMAX IP Plus Series VMAX® IP G4 DW IP Cameras Address AssignmentWhen attempting to connect with a camera’s web client to manage settings or monitor video streams, users normally must connect their computer directly to the camera’s PoE switch and assign the NIC card so that the computer can identify on the network.However, through the use of Virtual Ports, users can connect with the cameras through the NVR, without having to physically connect a computer to the onboard PoE switch of the VMAX IP Plus.When cameras are connected to the NVR’s PoE switch, they are assigned to an IP address that differs from the IP address scheme of the NVR itself. This allows the NVR to manage its connected cameras with less interference from other devices that may be on the network.For example, if a VMAX IP Plus is assigned to an IP address of 192.168.10.201, and its cameras are assigned to an IP scheme of 10.0.0.x, the NVR knows that when communicating through its PoE switch to use a 10.0.0.x scheme.This setting can be managed in the Network menu of the NVR.Virtual Port AssignmentWhere a user would normally have to physically connect their computer to the NVR’s PoE switch to access a camera’s web Graphical User Interface (GUI), if the computer is connected to the same router network as the NVR, the user can access the camera through its assigned Virtual Port.Virtual ports are assigned to the VMAX IP Plus’s cameras depending on the physical PoE port that they are plugged into.Using the table above, if a camera

The NVR’s storage.Storage FactorsThe following factors affect the NVR storage time: Resolution – when the recording resolution setting of a camera channel is set to a higher value camera picture will display with better clarity, but file sizes will be larger and will consume more storage space on the hard drive. Bitrate – when the bitrate setting of a camera channel is set to a higher value image and audio quality will be better, but file sizes will be larger and will consume more storage space on the hard drive. Compression – by default, the H.264 I-Reference setting is disabled so that the NVR records all transmitted frames from the camera. H.264 I-Reference is also related to the Frames Per Second (FPS) and GOP (Group of Picture) settings. Setting a value of x2 will cause the NVR to record one (1) out of two (2) frames. Setting a value of x4 will cause the NVR to record one (1) out of four (4) frames. Quantity of Cameras – each connected camera contributes to the consumption of storage space. The more cameras that are added, the more storage space will be used. Each connected camera’s channel settings can be individually configured for recording resolution, bitrate, Recording Type – the type of recording setting (Motion, Continuous, Continuous+Motion, etc.) determines when the NVR will record the video stream from a camera. This can make a significant difference in the storage time of video archives. This setting can be adjusted in Setup Menu > Record > Record Schedule. HDD Storage Capacity – the more storage space that the hard drive of a VMAX® IP Plus has, the greater the overall storage capacity for the NVR. By special request, the VMAX® IP Plus can be sold with storage drives ranging from 1TB to 10TB (total supported storage is dependent on NVR sub model).Using the DW IP Storage CalculatorThe DW IP Storage Calculator is a free tool that may be used to determine the prospective storage requirements and data rates for the VMAX® IP Plus.
