Pre-Site Checklist
Installer: _____________________________________
Project Name:_____________________________________
Pre-configure the network video recorders as much as possible and familiarize yourself with the system
design and the customer network setup to streamline the setup process.
Before you begin initial system setup, make sure the following requirements are met before you arrive at
the installation site:
1. ☐ Confirm if the Keep Your Drive Warranty is needed.
2. ☐ Avigilon Network Video Recorders (NVR).
l ☐ Spare monitor for server configuration (VGA).
3. Client workstations
l ☐ Avigilon Remote Monitoring Workstations, including monitors.
o
Some models come with a single Display Port (DP) and a single DVI connection per
video card, plus a Display Port-to-DVI adapter.
o
Some models come with HDMI ports and an HDMI to DVI adapter.
o
HDMI monitor cables must be purchased separately.
l ☐ Customer provided workstation.
4. ☐ Ensure each server has a unique hostname.
5. ☐ Network switches with enough ports and PoE budget for all camera and server connections.
6. ☐ Ensure servers are connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that is powerful enough to
provide surge protection and uninterrupted backup power to the system. Configure the UPS
connected to servers to shut down during a power outage when there is a certain percentage or time
of battery power left (for example, 25% or 15 minutes).
7. ☐ Ensure switches are also connected to a UPS.
8. ☐ Avigilon camera channel licenses for each server.
l ☐ For single-server sites, activate licenses on server at the office for faster setup.
l ☐ For multi-server sites, activate licenses after merging multiple servers into a single site. May
be easier to perform on-site.
