Avigilon NVR5 - Introduction; Before You Start

Introduction
The Avigilon Network Video Recorder (NVR) 5 Workstation is preloaded with Avigilon Control Center (ACC)
software and is configured for exceptional performance and reliability. The NVR5 Workstations offered in
small form factor can be easily integrated into any existing Avigilon surveillance system or act as the base of a
new site.
Before YouStart
Avigilon recommends the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system to protect your video
surveillance system hardware. A UPS system is used to protect critical equipment from mains supply
problems, including spikes, voltage dips, fluctuations and complete power failures using a dedicated battery.
It can also be used to power equipment during the time it takes for a standby generator to be started and
synchronized.
Any UPS connection must include configuration to shut down the operating system on the workstation when
battery power is low or there is 15 minutes of power remaining.
It is recommended that cameras not be connected to the appliance until after the appropriate network
configuration has been set up.
