Adding NVRs

if you prefer adding cameras through an nvr rather than camera by camera, please start by following the steps in getting started docid\ cy5w0lcchhv9zjwuw4zda configuring an nvr alarm sending from an nvr is almost identical to the process outlined in adding cameras docid 2fq7srv7zzkezi8f smf7 and most steps can be followed as is we also have vendor specific apis for some nvrs (see below) to streamline the process if this applies to your nvr, everything is probably already working great after following the above guide! great job! sometimes, however, nvrs are a bit more challenging than other devices to set up a common problem you may run into is multiple cameras appear as only one alarms from every camera in the nvr may show up as a single camera in the irisity alarm filter this state is not sustainable since the ai filtering engine will not work if images and clips connected to one camera do not come from the same camera consistently if this happens to you, there are a few ways to mitigate the problem read on in the following sections to find more ways to efficiently add nvrs vendor specific apis if irisity's alarm filter has a vendor specific api available, use that the vendor specific handling of incoming alarms allows us to decode the alarm package fully to distinguish between images and clips from different channels we currently support we currently support hikvision nvrs uniview nvrs (upcoming support) adjust parameters when sending alarms if there is no vendor specific api available, you need to adjust the settings in the nvr to ensure that different camera id\ s are sent depending on what channel triggered the alarm how to do this differs from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the end result should be as shown below https example rather than sending alarms from all channels to one url endpoint, they need to separated before channel 1, 2, 3, 4 are all sending alarms to post https //in alarmfilter irisity io/?c=nvr unique id 123 after channel 1 sends alarms to post https //in alarmfilter irisity io/?c=nvr unique id 123 channel 1 channel 2 sends alarms to post https //in alarmfilter irisity io/?c=nvr unique id 123 channel 2 smtp example rather than sending alarms from all channels to one email recipient, they need to separated before channel 1, 2, 3, 4 are all sending alarms with the email recipient to nvr unique id 123\@alarmfilter irisity io after channel 1 sends alarms with the email recipient to nvr unique id 123 channel 1\@alarmfilter irisity io channel 2 sends alarms with the email recipient to nvr unique id 123 channel 2\@alarmfilter irisity io shorten email recipients as needed email recipients can be shortened as needed depending on the support in the nvr an example is shown below email before to nvr unique id 123 channel 1\@alarmfilter irisity io after to nvr 123 c 1\@af irisity io please refer to the api documentation docid\ s xm gah1 jisvoadcqbz for full details add a parameter for the nvr channel name in the section above, we use the camera id to identify a single camera it is also possible to uniquely identify the nvr and to use a second parameter to identify the channel uniquely within the nvr https for https this looks like this before post https //in alarmfilter irisity io/?c=nvr unique id 123 after post https //in alarmfilter irisity io/?nvr=unique nvr id 123\&c=channel 1 note that we now have two parameter, nvr= to identify the nvr and c= to identify the camera/channel inside the nvr smtp for smtp this looks like this before to nvr unique id 123 channel 1\@alarmfilter irisity io before to nvr=unique nvr id 123\&c=channel 1\@alarmfilter irisity io note that we now have two parameter, nvr= to identify the nvr and c= to identify the camera/channel inside the nvr please refer to the api documentation docid\ s xm gah1 jisvoadcqbz for full details while the above address is a valid email address, security industry equipment is notorious for having very limited support for characters we therefore have several options for replacement characters configure each camera individually instead if nvr configuration fails for some reason, you can always try adding cameras docid 2fq7srv7zzkezi8f smf7 one by one instead reach out to irisity! if you have some issues adding nvrs from one or more manufacturers, we're always happy to help often we can assist with configuration, and if a vendor specific api is required we can always collaborate to create that please submit a support request docid\ zssod06nxrxfyqicc15ka to get in touch with us!
