4. Installation
----------------------------
Perform the following steps to install or upgrade the C•CURE 9000 Sony NSR Integration product:

 1. Stop Crossfire Service from Server Management Application.
 2. Insert the DVD into a DVD drive on your C•CURE 9000 system. The DVD Welcome 
    screen should display automatically.  If it does not, browse to the V1.93 
    of the DVD and launch the file named "C·CURE9000_Sony_NSR_Integration.exe"
 3. The installation progam determines if the correct version of C•CURE 9000 is installed on  
    your system.
 4. Click the Install Sony NSR Driver button from the displayed list. The InstallShield Wizard 
    begins installing the software, and after the initial C•CURE 9000 splash screen displays, 
    the Sony NSR Video Drivers Welcome screen appears.
 5. Click Next and follow the installation program prompts. It is recommended that
    you accept the default selections during the installation process.   
 6. If the installation of the prerequisites requires a reboot, reboot when prompted and the
    Sony NSR installation should continue after the system has rebooted.
 7. Click Finish to complete the installation.
 8. Open the Sony-NSR-Video-Integration.pdf and read the guide for information 
    about using the C•CURE 9000 Sony NSR Integration product.
 9. Restart the Crossfire Service from Server Management Application.

Note: The Video Server alarms must be reconfigured in the Video Server Alarm Tab after
an upgrade from C•CURE 9000 1.92 to C•CURE 9000 1.93.

5. Problems Fixed in this Release
----------------------------
 1. Support for C·CURE 9000 v1.93
----------------------------

6. Limitations
----------------------------

 1. Sony does not support overlay on the video camera viewer.
 2. In recorded video mode, Sony video cameras do not support snapshot and refresh 
    camera.
 3. The Sony Recorded player sometimes shows the wrong frames for the requested 
    times-displaying frames that begin before the requested start time, after 
    that requested start time, or even after the requested end time. 
 4. When a record camera action is configured for an alarm in motion, the video is 
    recorded on the NSR and the video icon displays in the activity 
    viewer and the journal. While clicking the icon can show the recorded video, 
    because Sony has the problem described in Limitation #3 above where 
    the recorded player may show the wrong frames, sometimes the video will not 
    display. If this should happen and the video does not display, wait at least 
    one minute and then click the icon to play the video again.
 5. Sony NSR can only configure presets starting from 1. While C•CURE 9000 has the 
    preset 0, it does not perform any functionality with this preset.
 6. Sony cameras support only motion, analytics, and video loss alarms, and Sony 
    servers support only online and offline alarms.
 7. Video Patterns are not supported for Sony.
 8. The Sony Recorded player does not resize. Consequently, the Recorded player 
    works best when played in pop up view. In addition, Sony does not support 
    playing back recorded video when the video is in View mode.
 9. Sony NSR is not supported on Windows Vista client.
