Uniview Intermediate Training Outline

  • Welcome & Housekeeping
    • Greetings and introductions by Sal Visone from DWG
    • Instructions for questions via chat and a Q&A session
  • Training Scope & Objectives
    • Purpose: Provide installers with in‑depth knowledge and actionable techniques to configure, optimize, and maintain Uniview surveillance systems.
    • Objectives:
      1. Advanced NVR Features and Configurations
      2. IP Camera Selection and Optimization
      3. Mastering PTZ Capabilities
      4. Troubleshooting and Maintenance Best Practices
  • RAID Configurations
    • Definition: Redundant Array of Independent Discs for data redundancy.
    • Benefits: Prevents loss of footage from a single drive failure.
    • How to Enable:
      • Navigate to Setup > Storage > Array
      • Verify the NVR specifications to ensure RAID support.
  • Edge Storage
    • Definition: Recording video directly to a camera’s onboard SD card.
    • Benefits: Additional redundancy, reduced bandwidth, cost savings, and faster access.
    • Features:
      • Support for large SD cards (up to 512GB, model‑dependent)
      • Automatic Network Recovery (syncs footage after disconnections)
  • Decoding Performance
    • Definition: The NVR’s ability to process and display video streams.
    • Key Factors: Resolution, frame rate, and compression.
    • Considerations: Balancing quality versus the number of simultaneous streams.
  • Multiple Streaming Profiles
    • Stream Types:
      • Mainstream: Full resolution (for recording and detailed monitoring)
      • Substream: Lower resolution (ideal for remote viewing)
      • Third Stream: Available on select models
    • Configuration: Adjust via the web interface (Setup > Camera > Encoding) and using Easy Station software.
    • Benefits: Optimizes network usage and recording quality.
  • Alarm and Event Management
    • Advanced Triggers: Intrusion detection, crossline detection, audio detection, tampering detection, smart intrusion prevention, and more.
    • Configuration:
      • Define detection areas on the live view
      • Set trigger actions (buzzer, push alarm, IP speaker output, relay/siren activation, recording, preset activation, email notifications)
    • Best Practices: Limit the number of simultaneous events to avoid overload and configure events from the NVR side for proper synchronization.
  • Understanding Image Sensors & Low Light Performance
    • Basics: Converts light into an electronic signal to form an image.
    • Impact: Larger sensors capture more light for brighter images, less noise, and better color reproduction.
  • Lens Types
    • Fixed Lenses: Provide a preset field of view; cost‑effective with simple installation.
    • Motorized Varifocal (Verifocal) Lenses: Offer adjustable focal length with optical zoom capabilities.
  • Optimizing Image Settings
    • Resolution: Use higher resolution for critical areas and lower resolution (substream) for general monitoring.
    • Encoding: Adjust bit rates, frame rates, and enable Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) when needed.
    • Balancing: Trade-offs between image quality, storage usage, and bandwidth consumption.
  • Compression Formats
    • H.264: Standard and widely compatible.
    • H.265: More efficient compression (reduces storage needs roughly by half).
    • Ultra265: Maximizes storage and bandwidth savings, especially for high‑resolution cameras.
  • Utilizing Smart Features & Analytics
    • Line Crossing Detection: Draw virtual lines that trigger alerts when crossed.
    • Intrusion Detection: Set up predefined detection zones.
    • People Counting: Use trigger lines to count foot traffic.
    • Benefits: Proactive monitoring, data‑driven insights, and reduced false alarms.
  • Video Compression & Efficiency
    • Comparison of H.264, H.265, and Ultra265 in terms of file size and image quality.
  • Optimizing Remote Viewing
    • Configure substream settings to reduce bandwidth load.
    • Utilize Easy Station and Uniview Link for efficient live view management.
  • Recording Schedule & Storage Management
    • Recording Modes: Continuous vs. event‑based recording.
    • Storage Planning: Verify disk space, set overwrite priorities, and calculate retention days.
  • Advanced PTZ Controls
    • Access Methods: Via Easy Station, the web interface, and mobile apps.
    • Basic Controls: Pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and speed adjustment.
  • Presets, Patrols, and Auto‑guard
    • Presets: Save specific camera positions for quick recall.
    • Patrol Routes: Create automated sequences that move the PTZ through multiple presets.
    • Auto‑guard: Configure the camera to return to a home position after inactivity.
  • Autotracking
    • Definition: Automatically follow moving objects within the camera’s field of view.
    • Configuration: Enable auto tracking, set tracking timeout and auto zoom; can be linked to event triggers.
  • Third‑Party Integration
    • Integrate PTZ cameras with access control and alarm systems.
    • Examples: Visual verification at entrances and motion‑activated alarms.
  • Additional Advanced Features
    • Panoramic Linkage: Brief overview – ties fixed-lens triggers to PTZ auto‑tracking (detailed configuration in expert-level training).
  • Addressing Network Issues
    • Common Problems: Camera dropouts, IP conflicts, latency, and connectivity issues.
    • Troubleshooting Tools: Use Command Prompt (ping, ipconfig, ARP‑scan), verify cables, and check power supply (UPS recommended).
  • Resolving Video Loss and Image Problems
    • Issues: Pixelation, blurred images, and black screens.
    • Solutions: Adjust bit rates and streaming profiles, check focus, clean lenses, and understand the differences between digital and optical zoom.
  • NVR Playback Issues
    • Hard Drive Health: Run SMART tests, check HDD connections, and replace failing drives if necessary.
    • Recording Settings: Verify the recording schedule (continuous vs. event‑based) and ensure sufficient storage space.
  • Firmware Updates
    • Importance: Provides security enhancements, performance improvements, bug fixes, and ensures compatibility.
    • Methods: Use Cloud upgrade options or manually upload firmware files.
  • Utilizing Software Tools
    • Monitoring & Troubleshooting: Use Easy Station and Uniview Link for adjustments and to review logs (e.g., alarm events, connectivity issues).
  • Recap of Key Topics: Advanced NVR configuration, camera selection, PTZ control, and troubleshooting.
  • Next Steps & Further Training: Announcement of upcoming sessions and practice recommendations.
  • Support & Contact Information: Contact details provided during the session for further assistance.
  • Closing Remarks: Thank you for participating and final well‑wishes.
