AvertX NVR setup and user guide, AvertX recommends an NVR site upload bandwidth speed of 5 Mbps for an experience when remotely viewing video over the WAN (Internet).  This will result in a positive user experience when reviewing video from one 4MP high definition or up to 9 standard definition streams.  In instances where less than 5 Mbps is available remote users should plan to utilize standard definition streams for retrieving video over the WAN.

How to view exported video files from AvertX NVR recorders?

Viewing exported video on AvertX NVR platforms varies according to the respective recorder platform/operating system.

AVI and MP4 files are a commercial format for digital video files and are compressed to reduce storage size.  DRV files are a proprietary format similar to RAW which is less compressed (ie larger files/better quality) than AVI. 

On the P2A and P2B series operating system video files are exported as AVI or DRV/System.  There is no conversion method between these formats after they’ve been exported.

DRV videos can be played through the respective NVR’s Backup Viewer.  The Backup Viewer is separate computer program that can emulate an actual NVR.  DRV files can be viewed with the NVR’s Backup Viewer downloaded directly from the NVR remote web viewer interface.  The remote web viewer interface can be accessed via the local IP address though a compatible web browser. 

The Performance Series NVR (firmware 1196c and above) has the ability to export/convert an AVI file from a DRV file when played back through its respective Backup Viewer.  

The new ProConnect NVR is the only NVR which can export video directly in MP4 format.  Exporting in a raw or less compressed video format is not available on the ProConnect NVR.  MP4 files are described as having a better quality in the same size as AVI and there are multiple media player options for MP4 video.

How fast of an Internet Connection do I need for remote viewing?

AvertX recommends an NVR site upload bandwidth speed of 5 Mbps for an optimal experience when remotely viewing video over the WAN (Internet).  This will result in a positive user experience when reviewing video from one 4MP high definition or up to 9 standard definition streams.  In instances where less than 5 Mbps is available remote users should plan to utilize standard definition streams for retrieving video over the WAN.
While the AvertX Connect platform is highly configurable to meet exact bandwidth usage requirements the following table may be referenced as a typical use case:

Note: The AvertX Connect platform dynamically chooses HD or SD streams for viewing based on the client display configuration selected by the user. Example: A 4CH view will deliver SD video by default while a single channel view will automatically deliver the HD stream. Stream selection may also be manually controlled using the stream selection control at the top of the applicable display screen.  

What is the difference between the AvertX Go! and AvertX Connect Mobile Apps?

Is my HD80IRM Rev B/HD40IR Rev B camera 2MP or 3MP?

The HD80IRM dome camera and the HD40IR bullet camera are available in two different models. The original model, model names HD80IRM & HD40IR, are 2MP (1080p) resolution cameras. The newer models of these two cameras, model names HD80IRM Rev B & HD40IR Rev B, are 3MP cameras.

All cameras with the model name HD80IRM Rev B & HD40IR Rev B are 3MP resolution video.

What microSD card can I use in my cameras?

You can use any class MicroSDHC card up to 64GB. This will hold approximately 30 hours of data at the maximum camera resolution (1920×1080). It saves the video files on the SD card in a series of 5 minute long .avi files, and you can access the recordings via any card reader that reads MicroSD cards.

How do I enable recording to a microSD card on my cameras?

AvertX cameras include the option to record video to an internal microSD card (up to 64GB). To enable recording to the microSD card, insert the card into the camera (see the camera manual for the diagram that shows the SD location), and then you will need to enable recording using the camera software.

How do I reset the camera to factory default? Where is the camera reset button located?

If the camera is not communicating properly with the recorder, it may need to be manually reset to factory defaults using the physical reset button (see pictures below for reset button location):

*Note: With the HD30 and HD80IRM, use a bent paperclip or similar item to press the button.*
