Speco HS Rev 1.0 Copyright I-View Now, LLC 2014 5
Workflow
This workflow describes the tasks to prepare the Speco HS to be ready to integrate with I-View Now.
1. User Setup
Change the default administrator password. I-View Now will be using the password on the “Installer Data
worksheet” to log into the device. When a network request is delivered to the Speco HS from the I-View system
this login and password will be used to programmatically authenticate before initiating Live View or retrieving
Clips for Video Verification. If an alternate value is required this information must be put into the i-
viewnow.com system.
2. Network Setup
I-View recommends using a static IP for the DVR onsite and enabling external access via port forwarding for
specific service from the router/firewall facing the Internet for the site.
a. LAN Setup: Static IP addresses are assigned by site IT staff
b. Port Setup: The router for the site should be configured to forward messages intended for the Speco HS
using the ports outlined below.
3. Configure SMTP email:
The SMTP information is used to initiate alerts and alarms to I-View Now. The SMTP server, SMTP ID provided
and Port Id on the “Installer Data” Worksheet will be used here. Setting up these entries is critical for enabling
the Speco HS to communicate an alarm event to I-View.
4. Recording Setup:
The DVR will be set to record by schedule or by events. Event recording will typically occur when an alarm event
is detected; however, concurrent continuous recording is also possible.
5. Alarm Input Setup:
Here the technician will set up alarm inputs on the back of the DVR to perform two actions:
a. Assert an alarm event and trigger recording
b. Send SMTP (email) alerts to I-View Now upon detection of an alarm event. This causes the I-View system
to retrieve the ‘pre’ and ‘post’ alarm video surrounding in time the condition that caused the alarm. This
is a valuable feature as it benefits the user by providing a more complete context of the conditions
leading up to the alarm event as well as what followed immediately thereafter.
