System Maintenance Check
The vehicle must be powered on.
Assure the DVR is in record mode by checking that the hard drive is locked in
the DVR. The REC light is illuminated when this occurs.
The monitor video cable and the USB mouse
should be plugged in the front of the DVR. Refer to Section 3 if the web
interface is being used for setup information.
Assure there is video appearing on all the activated channels. If a blue screen appears, it could be caused by the following:
- The camera is not plugged in
- The camera is not working
- The port needs to be turned off
Open the OSD window. Right click on the Setup button and select System
Settings.
Check the ID, time, and date.
Check the firmware version by clicking the Info button and then the Versions
button on the left column of the window.
The firmware version needs to be at least B2022062801. The current firmware
version can be located at http://radioeng.info. Update the firmware by using
a prepared USB drive. An alternate method of upgrading the firmware is via the
web: UI/ Maintenance/Firmware and verify the upgrade.
The Event Marker/Panic Button illuminates when the DVR is recording. It can be
verified that when the Panic button is pressed, it will be indicated as PB on
the Info/Inputs field as depicted below.
It is recommended that HDD storage is formatted at least
annually. Formatting is performed by selecting
Maintenance/Storage/Format/Clear HDD. If DVR usage is heavy, HDD formatting
should occur more frequently.
Warning: All video data will be lost during formatting.
After the drive is formatted, check if the following indicators are
illuminated on the front of the DVR:
On:
PWR
REC
Off:
FLT
ALM
VLOSS
Inputs have three different types: School Bus, Transit, and Custom. The inputs
to test for School Bus are as follows:
RW: Red Warning
YW: Yellow Warning
LT: Left Turn
RT: Right Turn
SA: Stop Arm
BK: Brakes
FD: Front Door
RD: Rear Door
Verify the Accelerometer is working by checking if the X:, Y:, and Z:
Coordinates are visible. An illuminated green light in the check box next to
the Accelerometer indicates a good connection.
Verify if the GPS is working by checking if the LON: and LAT: data indicators
are visible. An illuminated green light in the check box next to GPS indicates
a good connection.
Speed settings are made using the Speed Source drop-down menu on Setup>Speed
window. The GPS and J1939 selections are the types of speed sources used by
the DVR.
Laptop Setup when Using a Web User Interface
To configure the network adapter:
Go to the Control Panel and in the upper right corner of the panel, set the
View by: field to Small Icons.
Go to Network and Sharing Center.
Change the adapter settings. Reset the ethernet cord to verify target adapter.
Right click adapter and select Properties.
Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and select
properties.
Configure adapter with settings as depicted above. Click OK to finalize.
Connect ethernet cable to front port.
Conduct Ping Test to Verify Connectivity
Open the command prompt.
Enter “ping 192.168.200.200” and press enter. This IP address
is for the default LAN interface and cannot be changed.
After the ping
test is successful, the DVR web user interface can be accessed using Google
Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser. The default password is 10231981.
