The purpose of this document is to provide the necessary instructions regarding the integration ofthe Integral Technologies® digital video recording unit with the Prowatch software suite.

Checklist:? Prowatch R6 is installed and functionality declared by successfully executing the ProWatch.? You have an Integral Technologies® DVR with a programmed static IP address as well as the

MasterControl software installed. Instructions are supplied below for verifying IP addressprogramming.

? An available network connection reserved for the Integral Technologies® DVR.

1.) Verify static IP address programming of the Integral Technologies® DVR byperforming the following.? Log into Windows and right click on My Network Places icon on the desktop of

the operating system and select properties.? Double click on the Local Area Connection icon and select properties. This opens

the Local Area Connection Properties.? Double click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to verify settings. Apply a static

IP address within the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties

2.) Execute the “MasterControl” software from the desktop ICON or from the WindowsStart menu - Start\Programs\Integral\MasterControl.

You will be prompted for the username and password in order to gain access to theMasterControl database. Use the following Username and Password.

Username = “Administrator”

Password = “letmein”

This is the default username and password that is used to log into the operating system aswell as the MasterControl database.

Prior to the full execution\load of the MasterControl software, a system check will beperformed to detect any cameras that are physically connected to the Integral DVR unit. Byphysically connecting all cameras to the Integral DVR prior to executing the MasterControlsoftware, you can eliminate extra steps to initiate Camera Detection.
