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.
Installation prerequisites

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
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 26 outlines the components of each of these standards.

TruVision Navigator 8.0 SP1 User Manual 27
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.
Note: Data backup and restore is not intended for use when upgrading to a newer
version of Navigator. It will only work with the same version of Navigator used for the
database backup.
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 46)
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.
Chapter 3: Navigator main menu
28 TruVision Navigator 8.0 SP1 User Manual
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.
• 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 33).
• 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 25).
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 33).
Partially automated client software delivery
If SMTP capability is not used, there are alternate methods that can be used to deliver
the client software.
Chapter 3: Navigator main menu
TruVision Navigator 8.0 SP1 User Manual 29
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 33).
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.
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 18 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 18 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, Interlogix intrusion panels, IFS
network switches, 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.

Notifications
The Notifications tab in the Settings window includes the following server settings:
• Select events for notification by email to send to specific email addresses.
• Notification ports
• Primary and alternate email addresses
• Length of notification preservation
Notifications and notifier
Devices can push notifications out to an IP address and port for proactive issue
resolution. These notifications typically include alarm, video loss, motion, etc. See
Appendix B “Device details” on page 145 for details on which notifications are
supported by each device.
To receive notifications from devices in the Notifier panel, configurations are required at
both the device and Navigator service level.
Device configuration – Each device must be set up to push its available notifications
to the IP address and port of the Navigator server. See Appendix B “Device details” on
page 145 for detailed instructions for each device.
Navigator service configuration – The TruVision Navigator service or TruVision
server settings must be configured to listen on that same port for those notifications.
Note: Routers and firewalls may have to be configured accordingly to allow for this
traffic. Ensure that either the TCP listener port or the email listener port (SMTP) on the
Settings window Notifications tab matches the port setup on the device itself.
Navigator provides the ability to limit the notification data in the database to keep the
size down. Set the retention period in number days for this data in the Preserve
notifications for field.
Chapter 3: Navigator main menu
TruVision Navigator 8.0 SP1 User Manual 31
If any of these values are changed, restart the Navigator program (standalone
installations) or restart the TruVision Navigator service (client/server installations) for
the changes to take effect.
Health diagnostics
The Health Diagnostics tab in the Settings window provides the following server
settings:
• Select health events for email notification
• Primary and alternate email addresses
• Automated diagnostic polling
Note: Changes made in the Health Diagnostics tab won’t take effect until a restart of
the Navigator program (standalone installations) or the TruVision Navigator server

Chapter 3: Navigator main menu
34 TruVision Navigator 8.0 SP1 User Manual
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.
Table 2: Permission indicators
Permission Indicator Description
Blue A blue dot indicates express permissions granted on that node. These
permissions are inherited by the children nodes underneath the parent
node.
Gray A gray dot indicates express permissions assigned to a child of the
parent node, but not at the parent node itself.
This serves as a quick visual cue for the administrator to find express
permissions granted to a user on devices in the permission panel.
If all of the gray dot nodes are expanded, the camera or device with
one or more express permissions appears, indicated by a blue dot.
Permission models
TruVision Navigator has two permission models – Simple or Advanced. The default for
a new installation is the Simple model.
Simple model – Administrators only have the ability to create, edit, and delete users
and their corresponding permissions.
Advanced model – Administrators have the ability to create, edit, and delete both
users and groups. Groups allow the scaling of user permissions across many users.
For instance, many users can be placed into a single group, and that single group can
be assigned permissions against the folders and devices in the system. Without
groups, the administrator would have to grant permission to each user individually.
To change the permission model to advanced, select Advanced in the Permission
Model drop-down list and click OK. Groups now appear as a node in the Navigator
panel. The table below outlines the actual permissions that can be granted to users or
groups within Navigator, the user interface impact of that permission, and the
dependencies of specific permissions.

Adding TruPortal systems using the discovery tool
Navigator is equipped with an embedded device discovery tool that discovers devices
such as recorders, cameras, and encoders in the network and permits the addition of
one or more of those devices.
IMPORTANT: A wired network connection is required for device discovery. A device
cannot be activated via a Wi-Fi network connection.
1. Follow the instructions under “Installing the TruPortal SDK” on page 75.
2. Right-click the Access Control node, and then select Add Panel > Add via
Discovery Tool from the drop-down list. The Discovered Access Control Panels
window appears and provides a list of available control panels in the network.

Access Control configuration requires that Adobe Flash be installed on the computer
performing the configuration. See the TruPortal Software User Guide for instructions on
configuring TruPortal.
Performing lock and unlock operations
Right-clicking on the Access Control node provides the following lock/unlock
operations:
• Global Lockout – Lock out all doors of all panels.
• Global Reinstate – Reinstate all doors of all panels.
Chapter 5: Navigator panel
TruVision Navigator 8.0 SP1 User Manual 77
Right-clicking on an Access Control panel provides the following lock/unlock
operations:
• Reinstate All Doors – Restores all doors to their normal state, unless a designated
unlock input is active (see the TruPortal Software User Guide for details).
• Lockout All Doors – Locks all doors and ignores credentials, so that nobody can
enter or exit. After issuing this command, reinstate all doors so that individual doors
can be controlled directly.
• Unlock All Doors – Releases the locks on all doors, allowing free access and
egress. After issuing this command, reinstate all doors so that individual doors can
be controlled directly.
Right-clicking on a door icon provides the following lock/unlock operations:
• Unlock – Releases the lock on the door, allowing free access and egress until the
door state is changed by either a reader schedule or a global (“all doors”) command.
• Reinstate – Restores the door to default behavior based on the schedule.
• Lockout – Locks the door and ignores credentials so that nobody can enter or exit.
• Secure – Locks the door.
Recent activities
Select Recent Activities in the Access Control panel context menu to view a list of time
stamped events associated with each door in the panel. Click the Export List button to
export the list of recent activities in the CSV file format.
TruPortal multisite configuration
Under the Access Control node, a single user credential can be assigned to multiple
TruPortal panels grouped into one site by using folders to separate sites. Using this
logic, panels grouped under a folder belong to a single site or group of sites. See the
example below:
Chapter 5: Navigator panel
78 TruVision Navigator 8.0 SP1 User Manual
Notes:
1. The panel or panels under each folder operate as a single system, and each system
can accept a maximum of eight card formats simultaneously. Card format refers to
the format of data containing credential ID information (standard 26-bit, for example)
encoded in door/entrance access cards/badges.
2. The name of each card format must be unique within a system since the card format
name is the identifier, not the format itself.
3. Card formats of the same name are considered the same card format in TruPortal.
4. We suggest renaming access control panels in Navigator with site-specific names
(see example above) to make user access assignment easier.
To assign user access levels:
Note: Users must be added and configured with credentials in the TruPortal web UI
before assigning access levels in Navigator. We suggest that user names be as unique
as possible, using a middle name or initial when applicable. See the TruPortal Software
User Guide for instructions on configuring TruPortal.
1. Right-click on an access control panel or folder and select Assign User Access.
2. The Assign User Access window appears. If necessary, find a user by typing their
name into the Search box and click Search. Select the check box next to the user
image. Only one user can be selected at a time.
3. Select the check box next to the credential number(s) associated with the user.
Panels appear in the Assign User Access window, and those associated with the
user display a green bar across the top (select Show Assigned Permission in the
Filter drop-down list to show only these panels).

TruVision Navigator Player
The TruVision Navigator Player is a standalone player that can be used to replay any
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.
IMPORTANT: The player.bin file must be in the same directory as the TruVision
Navigator Player.exe file for the TruVision Navigator Player to work.
2. The player automatically sweeps the directory and loads the associated video clips
in the Video File Selector panel from that directory. Double-click on a camera icon in
the Video File Selector panel to populate the next video tile. The default view is 9-up
with a maximum of 16-up. Other custom views are available.

Component
Recommended Notes
CPU
3rd Gen Intel® Core i5-3470
Processor (6 MB, 3.2 GHz) CPU power is directly related to the
performance of the application when
running and rendering video. The better
the CPU, the more responsive the
application will be.
Memory
16 GB RAM RAM is related to the number of different
applications that can run simultaneously as
well as the number of different operations
that TruVision Navigator can perform at
once. The higher the RAM, the better the
performance of the application.
Hard Drive
500 GB – 7200 RPM, SATA 3.0
Gb/s, 16 MB Cache Optional - TruVision Navigator requires
approximately 800 MB of storage
to install.
To store exported video from the devices
on the local machine, an increase storage
size may be required.
Graphics Card
Nvidia® GeForce GTX 1060 Video Card capability is directly related to
the video rendering performance within
TruVision Navigator. The better the video
card, the better the video rendering
performance.
