JSD/JADV Series

Connecting Via Internet Explorer

Important Note: The web client for the JSD and JADV series of DVR's requires Internet Explorer.  It may not work correctly on Firefox, Opera, AOL, or any other web browsers that you may have installed.

• Go to the following web site: http://j2kip.com/webclient/

• When you go to this web site, you may be prompted to download and install an ActiveX control.  If you are prompted, you should let Internet Explorer install the control.

• Once the web site has loaded, and the ActiveX control has been installed correctly, you should see something that looks like this:
  
  

  
  
  

• On the top right, you will see 4 text boxes labeled IP, PORT, ID, and PW.  Set these boxes up as follows:
  

  
  
  

• Once you have this set up correctly, click the button

• You should now be able to see our in-house security cameras in your internet explorer window.

PTZ Functionality

Another advantage of owning a DVR, is the ability to control PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) cameras.  PTZ cameras allow you to move them up, down, left, right, zoom in, and zoom out.  We have such a camera set up for you to demonstrate the capability and ease of use of our DVR's.  If you would like to try our PTZ camera, follow these instructions:

• In order to adjust the PTZ camera, you have to be viewing camera 1 full screen.  To do this, click the button on the bottom left corner and ensure that the number 1 button to the right of that is darker than the rest.

• Once you are viewing camera 1 full screen, change your options on the bottom right to match what I have here:

  

• Set up your PTZ, Baudrates, and CH options to be the same as above.  You should then be able to use the arrow buttons to move the camera any direction you'd like.  you can also zoom in and out, change the focus, or adjust the iris. 

Network Speed

The JSD and JADV series of DVR's also allows you to adjust your network speed.  The network speed is a number from 1-10 that the user can change on-the-fly.  A lower number generates much sharper video quality, but the video may not be as smooth.  A larger number creates much smoother, real-time video but does so at the cost of video image quality.

** Please remember to log off of the DVR when you are finished, as only a limited number of people can be connected at a given time! **

Connect Using Remote Viewer Software

The JSD/JADV series of digital video recorders (DVR's) include a CD when you purchase them that you can install on your computer to view your DVR online.  Using the software that comes with the DVR, you can not only view live footage, you can also review past footage.  If you lose or damage the CD, you can also download the software from our download section by clicking here.  Here are the steps to follow if you'd like to use this version of the software:

• Download the software by going here and clicking the link that says "Standard Remote Viewer".  When you click that link, it should give you the following options: Run, Save, and Cancel.  Click Run.
• Once the download is complete, it should automatically begin the installation process.  Just accept all of the default settings and continue clicking 'Next' or 'Finish' until the installation is complete. 
  • You will know that installation is complete because the installation program will close and you should have an icon that looks like this:
• Double click that icon and the remote client software will open, and you will see a screen like the one below:

• Before you can connect to the DVR, you have to set it up and give the program all of the DVR's information.  To do this, click the Setting button on the right-hand side of the application, and you should see this window pop up:

• On the RemoteViewer Setup window, change the "ADDRESS" box to read 70.165.29.165, click the Save button, then click OK. 

• After you click OK, the RemoteViewer Setup window will close.  Then click the Connect button on the bottom left. 

• Once you click the Connect button, it should connect to the DVR in our showroom and some of the blue boxes will be replaced with live images from our showroom cameras.  Once connected, you can double-click on any camera to blow it up to full screen or click on any of the view modes on the bottom center to show a split screen. 

** Please remember to log off of the DVR when you are finished, as only a limited number of people can be connected at a given time! **

Connect Using The CMS Software

The CMS (Central Monitoring System) software is designed for customers that have multiple JSD/JADV DVR's.  A good example would be if you own multiple stores and had a DVR at each location.  The CMS store allows you to connect to all of your systems, and pick and choose which cameras from each system you'd like to view.  Here is how you can connect to our in-store system using the CMS software:

• Download the CMS software by the software by going here and clicking the link that says "CMS (Central Monitoring System) Software".  When you click that link, it should give you the following options: Run, Save, and Cancel.  Click Run.
• Once the download is complete, it should automatically begin the installation process.  Just accept all of the default settings and continue clicking 'Next' or 'Finish' until the installation is complete.
  • You will know that installation is complete because the installation program will close and you should have an icon on your desktop that looks like this:
• Double-click that icon and the CMS software will open and show you a login screen like the one below:

• The ID and the Password for this is admin.

• Once you are logged in, click the Setup icon on the top that looks like this:

• On the setup screen that pops up, click on 'Site Setup' on the left hand side, then click the button on the right labeled 'Registering Site'.  That will give you a window that looks like this:

• To connect to our in-house DVR, enter the following information then click OK
  • Site Name: This can be whatever you want, it is just a descriptive name for the DVR.
  • Address: 70.165.29.165
  • Port Number: 50000
  • User ID: admin
  • Password: <leave blank>
• If you would like to test the CMS software's ability to connect to multiple DVR's, repeat the last step, giving this one a different name and change the port number to 50001.
• When you click OK, then click OK on the main setup window, you will be back at the main screen, and should have at least one DVR name on the left side, like this:

• Once at this screen, right click on the name of your DVR (in my case, it would be COVISEC 1) on the left hand side, and click 'Connect'.
• If everything is set up correctly, the icon next to the DVR name should change, and you will have a plus sign next to it.  If you click the plus sign, it will show a list of cameras as shown here:

• In order to view the cameras, click and drag one of the cameras from the list on the left into one of the black DVR boxes on the right, and that camera should appear in that box.  If you set up both of the DVR's, you can right-click and connect to the second DVR and drag some of those cameras into the split screen on the right as well.

The CMS software allows you to view up to 36 cameras at one time.  You can choose exactly which cameras you would like to view from each DVR.  If you would like to view cameras 1, 2, 4, and 5 from your first DVR, and cameras 5, 6, 7, and 8 from your second DVR, it's as easy as connecting to the DVR's and dragging them into the boxes.  The CMS software also allows you to organize your cameras into groups so that you can connect to a group of cameras at once.  This software will work with any of the JSD or JADV series of DVR's, and is absolutely free.
