Figure 1 – main 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

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.
