Using ViconNet 

Adding Cameras and Devices 

A camera or device must be added to the Nucleus of the system to be 
recognized on the ViconNet site list. ViconNet cameras must point to the 
Nucleus in their setup. Vicon open standard cameras, as well as cameras 
from other manufacturers (third party), must be added to the system. 

 

From the 

System Setting

s window, select                             . The

 Vicon 

and other vendor open standard camera settings

 screen displays.  

Click                                        for a Vicon camera or                               .  
for open standard cameras from other vendors, or                                    
for Vicon cameras already setup on the 

Open Standard Camera settings

 

screen. If you are not sure what type of camera you have, click                
to access a list of Vicon cameras supported as open standard. The 
detected cameras are displayed and added automatically to the list.  

Note 

The JUMP and ZONE systems have limitations to the number of cameras 
that can be displayed in the Site List, 6 for the JUMP and 16 or 24 for the 
ZONE. Cameras are added to the Site List in the order they are connected 
to the system. For example, for a JUMP, the first 6 cameras selected will 
be listed in the Site List, no matter how many cameras are added 
afterwards. Therefore, it is important to make your camera selections 
carefully in order to have access to those you require. 

Getting Started 

After all connections are made, the NVR can be configured. The NVRs are 
delivered registered from the factory and the storage database is 
configured to the maximum. Working with ViconNet is the same for the 
NVR or for an NVR that is loaded with VJP-SWV7 or the VZN-SWV7.  

Note 

The VJP NVR does not support local display. It can be used with the 
ViconNet Web Viewer to view local video (refer to 

Using the Web Viewer

 

at the end of this manual). 

Login 

Logging in to the ViconNet application is performed using your assigned 
user name and password. The allowed system operations are dependent 
on your assigned authorization rights.
