Figure 1main page of chapter SENSORS

This chapter allows you to see which devices are connected to mNVR, check out CAN messages, add sensors or delete them, if there are a necessity you can restore them from trash bin


Devices

Figure 2 – menu Devices

In menu devices you can check information about devices that are connected to the NVR, their CONNCECT ID, name, version of firmware of devices, and see if there are presets to this device


Deleting sensors

Figure 3 – menu deleting sensors

You can select a couple of them, or choose all, or invert selection and delete sensors which you want, deleted sensors will be moved to trash bin


Trash bin

Figure 4 – menu trash bin

If you accidentally delete some of your sensors or want to restore old you can do it by trash bin menu, you need to select desired sensors and press restore button or discard if you change your mind

Workspace

Figure 5 – Workspace

There you can check information about your sensor, it current value, category, sensor type, type of content, etc. and if you want to change some parameters you can press Edit button and configure your sensor


CAN message

Figure 6 – CAN message

You can check the state of your devices by pressing CAN messages button, there you can choose the device which you want to check by choosing his address on CONNECT ID, and PGN and see the value which devices will be send. Value will be send in HEX system, to convert in DEC system you need to highlight it and lower right corner will be converted value

Also, you can press Toggle all data table button for more information


Libs manager

figure 7 – Libs manager

If you have a library, that you created manually, you can download it with the help of libs manager. To do that, you need to press Choose file button and download file of .xml format. To choose one of preseted libraries you need to press Toggle libs list button, to restore default libraries press Restore default libs


Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scanner adding

Figure 8 – BLE scanner

If you have BLE sensor you can connect it to mNVR. First you need to scan it by pressing BLE scan button and then press Start button, after that you can find the desired sensor in the list below, also in this list you can check the information such as: • MAC address • Signal quality level • Distance to the object (in meters) • Information about the signal • Time from the sensor detection After that in sensor menu is need to press BLE settings button and add your sensor to favorite, in this way you can add sensors from favorite in adding sensor menu

Figure 9 - BLE settings


Adding sensor

Table 1 - adding new sensor parameter description

ParameterParameter description
CategorySensor class, simple or complex
Sensor numberSensor number selection
Sensor typeSensor type, Internal, CAN, BLE or Computer vision

Internal sensor type

The section contains the selection of the sensor subtype, camera number, photo count and its interval, RTSP source and reference to it, the maximum video time associated with the event, the number of photos and frames per second, video time, the interval between photos associated with the event, its count and quality content type, event type, upper and lower limit, average latency, and resubmission interval

Figure 10 – menu of internal sensor type

Table 2 – the description of parameters of the subtypes of the sensor internal:

Parameter Parameter description
INPUT 0 Digital input 0
INPUT 1Digital input 1
ANALOGAnalog input 1
SPEED Speed sensor
VOLTAGEVoltage at the input of the device
MOVEMENTThe status of the motion sensor on the device
OVERCURRENTOvercurrent sensor

Table 3 - description of the menu parameters Content type

Parameter Parameter description

Adding complex sensor

When you create two or more sensor, you can combine it by creating complex sensor. To do that you need choose the sensor type, set output action time and write expression that should show the relationship between the sensor for their correct operation

Figure 14 – adding complex sensor menu

To set the default settings, click the Default button. To save settings in NVR click Save settings button.
