Required Equipment
The entire upgrade process documented in this report is performed directly from the AD
Intellex DVR/NVR system itself.
No workstation, laptop, or desktop computers, and no data switches or other devices are
required to perform the entire process from start to finish.
This DVR platform-only upgrade process mirrors real world conditions found in many
wiring closets and command centers in use by security departments worldwide. It also
reflects the advanced video surveillance-optimized capabilities of Intransa Smart CCTV
DVR Upgrades for use as a Security-Grade Video Retention platform.
Security practitioners who are more comfortable performing the installation of the CCTV
DVR upgrade with the use of an external computer such as a laptop PC are of course also
able to do so.
The Intransa Video Data Management and Retention (VDMR) platform used in this
report with the AD Intellex is an Intransa StarterBlock. StarterBlock at time of writing
scales from 2 to 16 terabytes (TB) of hot-swap, RAID protected video retention and is
capable of supporting 1 to several typical DVRs with 8 to 16 channels for analog cameras
each.
Should more initial capability be required, an Intransa EdgeBlock (supporting more than
a dozen DVRs) or BuildingBlock (supporting hundreds of DVRs) could have been
substituted for the StarterBlock. The installation and setup process is largely unchanged.
