GETTING STARTED
REQUIRED COMPONENTS
Identify and confirm that you have the following components required to complete the installation of the RediWatch POS Software*.
NETWORK (TCP) POS INTEGRATION
1 DVR Unit or NVR Installation
The RediWatch POS Software is a software upgrade for DVR and NVRs running the latest version of the Server Software. The
RediWatch POS Software will not function without a DVR or NVR.
2 Network
A Network infrastructure of some type is required for connecting the Network POS System to the DVR or NVR. At the most basic level
a network may consist of a hub or switch connecting the 2 systems to one another, but may be as advanced as an enterprise level
infrastructure.
RS-232 BASED TEXT INSERTER INTEGRATION
1 DVR Unit or NVR Installation
The RediWatch POS Software is a software upgrade for DVR and NVRs updated with the latest version of Server Software. The
RediWatch POS Software must be installed on a DVR or NVR or it will not function.
2 Serial Text Inserter
The RediWatch POS Software supports SecurGen VTI, American Video AVE text inserters and HAT TVS text inserters. Serial Text
inserters are a simple and inexpensive method of implementing video overlay and transmitting transaction data to the RediWatch POS
Software.
3 Serial Cable
An RS-232 serial cable is required to connect the DVR or NVR running the RediWatch POS Software to the Serial Text Inserter.
4 Serial Y-Cable
Several of the Serial Text Inserters require a Y-cable to split the serial output into 2 connections. This is necessary to send the data to
both the receipt printer and the DVR or NVR.
