1. In a system comprising a network, a network video recorder connected to the network, a set of cameras connected to the network video recorder, and a server connected to the network, the network video recorder programmed to store and execute instructions that cause the system to automatically perform a method comprising the steps of:

  • connecting each camera of the set of cameras to the network video recorder;

    powering each camera of the set of cameras;

    receiving a broadcast message from each camera of the set of cameras;

    automatically transmitting an IP address to each camera of the set of cameras;

    determining a set of video parameters based on the broadcast message for each camera of the set of cameras;

    sending the set of video parameters to each camera of the set of cameras;

    automatically configuring an event delivery address for each camera of the set of cameras;

    automatically configuring a set of motion detection parameters for each camera of the set of cameras;

    generating sensor data that includes switch data from a switch of the network video recorder that connects the network video recorder to each camera of the set of cameras; and

    ,wherein an alert is sent by the server to one or more of a management application program interface (API), a short message service (SMS) gateway, and a simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) client, and the alert is based on the sensor data and is pushed from the network video recorder to the server by the network video recorder;

    the switch data including a port count, a F/W version, one or more gateway values, a PoE maximum value, per-port PoE status values, per-port electrical data, PoE overloaded status values, and a total PoE used value;

    the per-port electrical data including per port voltage, current, and wattage values;

    the sensor data including hard drive data, CPU data, memory data, and network interface controller (“

    NIC”

    ) data;

    the hard drive data including a model number, a serial number, a capacity value, an RPM value, a temperature value, a read/write rate, a seconds per disk transfer value, an idle time percentage, an active time percentage, and S.M.A.R.T. data;

    the CPU data including a model number, a clock speed value, a number of cores, a temperature value, and a CPU usage percentage;

    the memory data including a capacity value, a configuration value, a memory used percentage, and pages per second value; and

    ,the NIC data including for each NIC an IP address, a MAC address, a subnet mask, a gateway address, an interface name, a DNS server identifier, a link speed value, a DHCP enabled value, Rx/Tx values in bytes per second, inbound/outbound packet counters, and connection lost/restored values.
