VDR WATCHDOG
INSTALLATION
VDR watchdog requires Application Manager and a VDR module which is running as a service
(VdrMon) on the VDR Computer.
• Copy vdrmon.exe into VDR program folder
• Copy vdrmon.ini into VDR program folder
• Command “run vdrmon.exe –ia”
• Start Service with command line -s or via MMC
The service broadcasts the notifications immediately when VDR changes the currently-writing
file on the alternative data storage (normally, root folder of D: drive). Usually this happens
once per hour but if the crew wants to have this check more often they could reduce
timeframe length in VDR Configuration Manager.
CONFIGURATION IN APPLICATION MANAGER
The settings in Application Manager are simple and located in the same window than
Deadman Alarm Settings:
