The provided document is a Quick Guide for the Vista Vizion DVR & NVR NDAA Recorder Range, specifically version 1.0, released in November 2022. It covers initial setup, installation, and basic operation for various models within the DVR and NVR series.
Function Description:
The Vista Vizion DVR & NVR NDAA Recorder Range comprises digital video recorders (DVRs) and network video recorders (NVRs) designed for surveillance applications. These devices are compliant with NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) regulations, indicating their suitability for use in government and critical infrastructure settings where such compliance is mandated. The recorders are central components of a CCTV system, responsible for recording, storing, and managing video feeds from connected cameras. They support both analog (DVR) and IP (NVR) camera inputs, offering flexibility in system design. The guide outlines the process for installing hard disk drives (HDDs) for storage, connecting cameras, and performing initial configuration, including network settings and user authentication.
