How to 

Display POS information on Hinovision NVR with RS232 to Ethernet Server?

Hinovision 5-Series Professional Line NVR supports POS Information display. It supports multiple types of connection (RS-232, USB, and Ethernet).

Once the POS setting is configured on Hinovision NVR, you will be able to view POS information on Live View and Play Back. This provides the possibility to offer advanced level of integration for multiple scenarios.

The following demonstration will show you how to achieve POS info display on Hinovision NVR516P16-I4 with RS232 to Ethernet Server. Configuration is needed on both NVR and RS232 to Ethernet Server. 

Test Environment 

NVR Model: NVR516P16-I4

NVR Firmware: V3.4.82 build 161207

RS232 to Ethernet Server Brand: USR IOT

RS232 to Ethernet Server Model: USR-N540

RS232 to Ethernet Server Firmware: 3009

System Connection

Connect POS output to USR-N540 RS-232 Port1, Connect USR-N540 LAN to your Router/Switch with Ethernet Cable.

1. Configure the USR-N540 IP address
   

2. Connect the USR-N540 to LAN port on your switch or router with Ethernet cable, connect the power cord and make sure the unit is powered on.
   
3. Change your PC network IP address to the same segment as the USR-N540 default address.(e.g. 192.168.0.10)
   

Note: USR-N540 default address (192.168.0.7) can be found on the sticker under the unit.

3. Visit USR-N540 default address (192.168.0.7), enter the username and password
   

Note: the default Username and Password for USR-N540 are listed below

UserName: admin

Password: admin

4. Change the IP address to the same segment as the Router IP. (e.g. 192.168.1.224)Save and Reboot USR-N540.
   

5. Restore the PC IP address. (e.g. 192.168.1.18)
   

2. Change Port setting on USR-N540
   

3. Access USR-N540 with the new IP address you just assigned (e.g. 192.168.1.224).
   
4. Login with UserName and Password
   
5. Go to the port your POS is connected with (e.g. Port1)
   

4. Change the Baund Rate, Data Size, Parity, Stop Bits and Type according to the configuration on your POS machine
   

5. Assign Local port Number, Remote Port Number (e.g. 10110), Choose UDP Mode for Work Mode, and Enter the NVR IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.222)
   

6. Leave the rest of settings in default, Save and Reboot USR-N540.
   

3. Configure NVR POS setting
   

1. Make sure NVR is connect to the same Local Network as USR-N540, and they are under the same IP segment.
   

2. Right Click and open Menu, Click on Configuration and navigate to POS tab on the left.
   

3. Configure POS Protocol as Universal Protocol, Connection Type as UDP Connection
   

4. Click on Settings on the right
   

5. Enter the IP address you assigned for USR-N540 (e.g. 192.168.1.224) and the Remote Port Number you assigned on the USR-N540 port configuration page (e.g. 10110), click on OK
   

6. Click on Apply before exit
   

4. Verify the settings
   

With all the settings complete, once data is sent through RS-232 port, it will be displayed on NVR Live View screen.

Note: POS information will only be displayed under main-stream, if NVR is displaying multiple Live View under sub-stream, POS information will not be displayed.
