Installation

Installation options
There are two installation options for TruVision Navigator. The core features and
functions remain the same regardless of which of the two installation options are
selected.
Standalone model – This installation option permits the client and database to reside
on the same computer. No other clients on the network can connect to the database on
this computer. This installation option is ideal for small, standalone systems.
Multi-client model (traditional client/server) – This installation option permits the
client and server to reside on the same or separate computers. This installation option
is ideal for larger systems with many geographically dispersed users, computers, and
recording devices.
Administrator rights are required to install Navigator on a computer, but the application
is available to any user that successfully logs in to a Windows® account on that
computer.

• Client Download URL: Multi-client installations (client/server) only
• Export Navigator Data and Import Navigator Data

SMTP setup
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a de facto standard for email transmissions
across the Internet. The Navigator server can be configured to use an SMTP server to
send automated email messages (with client download URL, username, and password)
to users when they are created in TruVision Navigator and when their login credentials
(username, password) need to be reset in the system by an administrator. If SMTP is
not set up, this information must be delivered via an alternative method such as by
phone or personal email.

To set up SMTP:
1. Enter the SMTP Server IP address, the Port, and any Username and Password
credentials required by the SMTP server. Select SSL as well if required by the
server.
2. Test this setup by clicking Test and entering a destination email address for the test
message. Check the application status bar for feedback on the test. Also check the
email account to ensure there is a test message from the Navigator server
confirming proper setup of the SMTP server.
3. An email similar to the one below is sent. If not received after several minutes,
check the Junk Mail folder to see if the email was classified and stored there.

Authentication complexity
TruVision Navigator has three authentication complexity standards – Low, Medium, and
High. The default authentication for a new installation is Low. To change the
authentication complexity, select an option from the drop-down list and click OK.
All new users are required to meet the new authentication complexity standard.
However, existing users of the application are not prompted to change their credentials
to meet the new standard once it is changed. Therefore, the administrator must reset

26 TruVision Navigator 7.1 SP1 User Manual

Chapter 3: Navigator main menu

each of the existing user accounts for the standard to take effect. This reset only affects
the password for that user, not the username. To avoid resets, we recommend setting
the authentication complexity before any users are created in the system.
Table 1 on page 27 outlines the components of each of these standards.

Instant replay duration

Navigator supports instant replay from the video tile. This feature rewinds video in a tile
by a user-defined, pre-configured amount of time (30 seconds default, 99 minutes and
59 seconds maximum).
To set instant replay time, type the minutes and seconds or click the spin wheels to
enter the required value in the Instant Replay Duration fields and click OK.
See Appendix B “Device details” on page 126 for limitations on instant replay for each
device.

Custom Help
Custom Help access allows individual organizations to provide their own additional
content to facilitate use of the software. This content is completely user-defined;
Navigator simply provides a pathway for users to access it.

To add a custom Help link:

1. In the Server Settings screen, type the name of the Help title to share with users in
the Custom Help Title field.
2. Type the link to the Help file in the Custom Help Link field.

3. Click OK.
4. Open the Help window by clicking the Navigator main menu button and selecting
Help. The custom Help title appears in the Help screen.
5. Click on the link to access the content.

Database backup and restore (standalone installations only)

Navigator database backup should be backed up in a separate location by an
administrator for safekeeping. If there is a problem with the computer where the
TruVision Navigator database resides, the administrator can install that same version of
TruVision Navigator and restore the database with the backup file. This brings the
system back into operation quickly without manual re-entry of device, user, group,
permission, or other system configuration data.

To back up the Navigator database:

1. Select the Server tab in the Settings window and then click the Database Backup
button. The Backup Database window appears.

2. Type a database backup name (no file extension is necessary) and take note of the
path where the database backup file will reside. The administrator should copy or
move this file to a safe location.
3. Click Schedule to schedule the backup or click Backup Now. Upon initiation of the
backup, refer to the Tasks window for status (see “Tasks” on page 47)
4. After successful completion, the database backup file resides at the designated
location.

To restore the Navigator database:

1. Select the Server tab in the Settings window and then click the Database Restore
button. The Restore Database window appears. Ensure that a copy of the backup
database file has been placed in the directory listed on the form.

2. Type the exact name of the file in the text field provided. If restoring the database to
a SQL instance that requires SQL authentication credentials, enter them here.
Otherwise, use the default setting.
3. Upon initiation of the restore, refer to the Tasks window for status. After Restore
Task appears in the Task window, log out of the application. Log back in and the
database is restored.

Multi-client (client/server) installations

Client download URL

The Client Download URL field only appears in client/server installations.
For multi-client installations (client/server), the client download URL is the network
location of the Navigator client software package. Administrators can deliver this URL
to new users so they can download the client software remotely from the Navigator
server. If SMTP is in use, this is done automatically for the administrator during user
setup.
For standalone installations (direct database connection), this field is disabled since no
other networked Navigator clients can connect to this instance of the Navigator server.

User management and client software delivery

With multi-client (client/server) installations of Navigator, computers on the same
network with the Navigator server have the ability to download the Navigator client.
Note the following:
• Remote distribution of client software is NOT available for the standalone (direct
database connection) installation option.
• The person installing the client software must have administrator rights on the
computer to perform the client installation.

TruVision Navigator 7.1 SP1 User Manual 29

Chapter 3: Navigator main menu

• When a new user is added to the system, that user does not have any permissions
assigned and therefore cannot log in to Navigator. User permissions must be
assigned before the user can log in (see “User management” on page 34).
• After installation of the client software, all items that the user has permission to
access appear in the Navigator panel.

Fully automated client software delivery

Navigator can be configured to use an SMTP server to send automated email
messages (with client download URL, username, and password) to new users or when
an existing user’s login credentials (username and password) need to be reset in the
system by an administrator (see “SMTP setup” on page 26).
To distribute the client software remotely to a new user, first configure TruVision
Navigator with an SMTP server, and then add the new user and grant permission to the
new user (see “User management” on page 34).

Partially automated client software delivery

If SMTP capability is not used, there are alternate methods that can be used to deliver
the client software.

To deliver client software remotely without access to SMTP, do the following:

1. Ensure that the SMTP Server field is empty in the Settings window Server tab.
2. Add the user (see “User management” on page 34).
3. The administrator delivers the user’s login credentials and client download URL to
the user via phone or private email. Cut and paste the URL from the Client
Download URL field in the Server tab in the Settings window. Remember to assign
the user’s permissions or he/she will not be able to log in.
4. Copy or type the client download URL into a browser, or click on the link in an email.
5. Follow the instructions in the Client Software Download page to download the
ClientOnlySetup.exe file.

30 TruVision Navigator 7.1 SP1 User Manual

Chapter 3: Navigator main menu

6. Run the ClientOnlySetup.exe file (the ClientOnlySetup.exe file is preconfigured to

point to the server that it was obtained from) and follow the installation prompts.
7. Launch Navigator and log in with the credentials provided via phone or email.
8. Enter the required information in the Change Password window (see “Initial login”
on page 20 for further information).

To manually install the client software on computers, do the following:

1. Download the ClientOnlySetup.exe file from the Client Installation web page and
place it on a thumb drive or other media.
2. Physically deliver the .exe file to the specific computer.
3. Run the ClientOnlySetup.exe file (the ClientOnlySetup.exe file is preconfigured to
point to the server that it was obtained from) and follow the installation prompts.
4. Launch Navigator and log in with the user credentials.
5. Enter the required information in the Change Password window (see “Initial login”
on page 20 for further information).

Import/export Navigator data

A Navigator address book stores the title, IP address, and credentials of recorders and
cameras, as well as website pages, TruPortal panels, and logical views in the Navigator
panel. This data can be imported or exported into Navigator as needed to save and
restore these settings.
• Click Export Navigator Data to save Navigator settings in the CSV file format.
• Click Import Navigator Data to import previously configured Navigator panel
settings in the CSV file format.

Permission indicators
When assigning permissions, specify whether the permission is applied at the parent or
child node. Granting permissions at a parent node cascades those permissions down to
the child nodes. For example, granting permissions at the Navigator server level
cascades down over all folders, devices, and cameras beneath it. These are indicated
by a blue dot. Conversely, granting permissions at the child node does not change
permissions at the parent node. In this case, the child node displays a blue dot and the
parent displays a gray dot.

4. Based on the device type, a selection from the Streaming Type drop-down list may
be required. For some devices, there is only one option for the Streaming Type so
it is selected by default. Streaming types are defined as follows:
• TCP – TCP is a reliable stream delivery service that guarantees delivery of a
data stream sent from one host to another without duplication or losing data.
• Reverse TCP – The application connects to the device and the device streams
video back to the application over the existing connection. This option negates
firewall issues on a WAN and is primarily the best option.
• Reverse TCP I-Frame – This connection type is similar to Reverse TCP except
the device only sends I-Frames. This option is useful in limited bandwidth
environments.
• UDP – The application connects to the device and asks the device to stream
video back to the application on a UDP address and port. For this option, the
firewall needs to be configured to allow the device to stream to the application on
that specific port.
• Multicast – This type of streaming only requires one stream and one user
connection to the recording device and can be connected to many clients. This
saves connections and network bandwidth. Multicast is supported in live view
only.
• Wavelet/Wavejet – This type is based upon Wavelet/Wavejet compression

video clip exported using TruVision Navigator (proprietary file formats include .wvf,
.mpc, .asf, .mp4, and .drv). This player should be copied to media along with video clips
for authorities. It launches from the media itself and does not require installation to a
computer.

To play video with the TruVision Navigator Player:

1. After exporting video clip(s) from the Collector to the user-defined location, launch
the TruVision Navigator player by double-clicking the TruVision Navigator Player
icon in the file folder where the video clips are located.
Note: The player.bin file must be in the same directory as the TruVision
Navigator Player.exe or the TruVision Navigator Player will not work.
2. The player automatically sweeps the directory and loads the associated video clips
in the Play List from that directory. By clicking the checkbox next to the clip in the
Play List, the video loads in a tile (nine-up maximum). Highlight the video tile and
click the Play button to play the video.

Chapter 10: TruVision Navigator Player

The features of the TruVision Navigator Player are as follows:

• Browse – Browse for a specific video clip in another directory and load it into the
Play List.
• Snapshot – Take a snapshot of the highlighted video tile.
• Print – Print a snapshot of the highlighted video tile.
• Maximize Screen – Launches a full screen view and hides the Play List and Tool
Bar at the top of the application.
• Playback Controls – FFWD, RWD, Play, Pause, Frame Reverse, and Frame
Advance.
• Timeline – Jump ahead or back in time for a single selected video tile.
• Audio – Listen to audio (if present) for only the selected video tile. If all video tiles
are selected, no audio will play.
• Select All Videos – Select this check box to select all video tiles. After all video tiles
are selected (a white outline appears around the video tiles), playback controls
affect all video tiles and not just a single one. However, each clip begins at its own
start time and ends at its own end time. This holds true for the snapshot and print
capability as well. The timeline does not appear when multiple video clips are
selected.
• Sync Playback Start – Select this check box to start all video clips at the same
time.
Note: As the video clips are played, there may be time gaps due to the different
video settings on each clip source (e.g., different frame per second (fps) settings).
This function ensures that the initiation of playback for all tiles happens at the same
time to keep the time gaps between the clips at a minimum.
• Time/Date Stamp – Each video has a time/date stamp on it for evidentiary
purposes.
• Double-click any video tile to go to full screen or use the maximize button in the tool
bar.
• Double-click to any video tile to return to the normal state.
• When in full screen mode, right-click to hide/show the playback controls. Only the
video tiles display.
