Prerequisite:

  • Ensure that you have performed a backup of your video files.

To view recordings saved to an LHV / LNR Series DVR / NVR:

LHV / LNR Series DVR / NVR systems save recorded video as .dav or .asf files.

  • .dav files are proprietary video files which require a Lorex by FLIR video player software to be viewed. To play a .dav file, download and install the Lorex by FLIR video player application available online for PC and Mac. Click here for more information on locating software downloads.

  • .asf files can be played on most computers using readily available free software from the Internet. To play an .asf file, use a third party media player such as VLC Media Player, available online for PC and Mac.

    TIP: VLC Media Player is a free software available from www.videolan.org and is not supported by Lorex by FLIR.

Software

macOS

Channels DVR Server can be installed on macOS Yosemite (10.10) or newer.

  • The service runs on port 8089, and has a web interface available at http://localhost:8089 for configuration.
  • Change your Energy Saver preference to 'Prevent computer from sleeping' to ensure the DVR does not miss any recordings.
  • Run the installer again if you need to stop or uninstall Channels DVR Server.
  • If you would like to run the DVR as a background service, open Terminal.app and paste: `~/Library/Application Support/ChannelsDVR/install.sh --system`. Note that the hardware transcoder is not available when running as a service.

Windows

Channels DVR Server can be installed on versions of Windows 7, 8 and 10.

  • Channels DVR Server does not require administrator privileges, and installs into c:ProgramDataChannelsDVR.
  • The first time it runs, the Windows Firewall may ask for Administrator privileges to allow private network access.
  • The service runs on port 8089, and has a web interface available at http://localhost:8089 for configuration.
  • The service starts up automatically on login. Run netplwiz.exe to enable auto login and ensure the service is always running after a reboot.
  • Computers with modern NVidia or Intel HD Graphics cards can automatically utilize hardware accelerated transcoding. Use the Intel Driver Update Utility to make sure your drivers are up to date.
  • We recommend the 64-bit version of Windows for optimal performance, but a 32-bit installer is also available.

Linux / FreeBSD

Channels DVR Server can be installed on Linux or FreeBSD by running a simple script.

SSH into your linux machine and use the following command to install Channels DVR Server:

  • The setup script will create a channels-dvr directory in the current directory and download Channels DVR Server there. It will then detect if your linux distribution uses systemd, upstart or init.d, and will install the appropriate startup script. The script may ask for sudo access during this process.
  • We recommend that you run the setup script in your home directory as your own user so Channels DVR Server is installed into ~/channels-dvr.
  • If you prefer instead to install into /usr/local, run this before the setup script:
  • If you have an Intel processor, make sure you add your user to the video and render groups so the Channels DVR Server transcoder can use /dev/dri for hardware acceleration: sudo adduser $(id -u -n) video.
  • If your / and /home mounts have limited space or i/o-throughput (for example, when using an SD card with the Raspberry Pi), install Channels DVR Server on an externally mounted USB HDD instead.
  • If you plan to use TV Everywhere, install your linux distrubution's chrome or chromium package. For example, apt-get install chromium-browser.
  • The service runs on port 8089, and has a web interface available at http://localhost:8089 for configuration.
  • Bonjour (aka zeroconf) is used by the Channels apps to automatically discover your DVR on your network. If you have a firewall, ensure that port 5353 is whitelisted for TCP/UDP access.

Raspberry Pi 4

The new Raspberry Pi 4 runs Channels DVR Server great.

SSH into your Raspberry Pi and use the following command to install Channels DVR Server:

  • Full transcoding and deinterlacting of MPEG2 is supported for up to 1 stream.
  • You will need to manually install Chromium in order to get TV Everywhere support. Install simply with sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
  • Bonjour (aka zeroconf) is used by the Channels apps to automatically discover your DVR on your network. If you have a firewall, ensure that port 5353 is whitelisted for TCP/UDP access.
