DVR UTILITY SOFTWARE FEATURES
This software is a remote monitoring system for digital video recorders (DVR) and computer terminals
that are connected via a network. It includes an extensive range of functions that are designed to make
optimal use of the latest in technology and network features. It can cater to a wide variety of monitoring
needs including ease of operation and system expandability.
●You can build a computerized monitoring network system simply by installing this software
into a computer.
●Up to eight computers can be connected to control up to a maximum of 4000 DVRs in a
single network.
●Menu settings and recording and playback operations are just a few of the DVR operations
that can be controlled across the network by a computer.
●Recording parameters can be set individually for each DVR.
●DVR image monitoring can be switched between a single screen and 4-screen multi screens.
If a 4-channel DVR is connected, images for a maximum of 16 channels can be viewed at
once in a single screen.
●The system is provided with complete security features. Users that have access to the
system are verified by means of a user ID and password, and four different user levels (ID1 to
ID4) are available, with different operating privileges for each level.

NETWORK CONFIGURATION
This system consists of DVRs, monitoring cameras and computer terminals that are used for remote
monitoring. All devices in the system are connected through a dedicated local area network (LAN).
●Applicable models:
DSR-M800/DSR-M800P/DSR-M800PA/DSR-M804/DSR-M804P/DSR-M810/DSR-M810P/
DSR-M814/DSR-M814P
See “http://www.sanyosecurity.com” for models other than the above.
Network configurations can include a combination of different models.
●Number of DVR connections:
Standard 1000 DVRs (Up to 4000 DVRs can be connected depending on the subnet mask
values.)
●Number of computer terminal connections:
Max. 8 computers (1 master computer + 7 slave computers)
●Applicable software:
If using this software (VA-SW814 or VA-SW81LITE) on the master computer, then the slave
computers must also be running the same version of software. Older versions of the software
(VA-SW800/804/814 Ver. 1.0/80LITE) cannot be used with this software.
Slave computers that are running older versions of the software should be upgraded
by installing this software. Once the software upgrade has been carried out, you can
continue to use the same accessory hardware key as before. (P.8)

NETWORK CONFIGURATION
●Examples of IP address setting ranges:
(When using automatic setting mode and the subnet mask is set to the standard 255.255.252.0)
Computer terminals: DVRs:
192.168.0.251 –254
192.168.1.251 –254
192.168.2.251 –254
192.168.3.251 –254
192.168.0.1 –250
192.168.1.1 –250
192.168.2.1 –250
192.168.3.1 –250
Distinction between “Master” and “Slave”
A master computer is a computer terminal that has operating privileges available for
registering and deleting DVRs that are connected to the network. The default setting is for one
master computer. In contrast, general computer terminals that do not have operating
privileges for registering and deleting DVRs are called slave computers, and a maximum of
seven of them can be connected. (P.20)
•When using the software on a network, carry out the required network settings at the DVRs first.
IP addresses will be assigned automatically, but the “DVR NAME” and “GROUP” settings can
also be changed manually using a computer. (P.22)
•You should make sure that the TCP/IP settings for the operating system (OS) that you are using
match the computers that are connected to the network. (P.6)
•Connect the devices to an independent stand-alone network. Furthermore, check with the
network administrator to make sure that the IP addresses that you set do not conflict with IP
addresses that are already in use by the network.
