The best way to getting started is to watch our YOUTUBE tutorial video.
The installer will install a Windows service. You can manage it with our organizer, a triangle in Windows task-bar. When the triangle is green, you are good to go.
Invoke the console to interact with the server. Default account/password is admin/1234.
The first thing you need to do is configuring storage. All available drives are listed automatically. Just enable the drive you want to use to store recorded data. You may want to change "MaxSize_GB" if the drive is not dedicated to recording. Everything else should be left untouched.
The second to do is adding a camera. Channel name is an unique identification associated with recorded data and events. It can't change in the future so name it carefully. Put additional information in description instead. Select driver DirectShow for webcam. Check "unconditional recording" for 24x7 recording.
Okay. Now the setup is done and the server is recording. The server is running as long as the PC is on, even before any user logged in Windows.
Check our website and YouTube channel to learn more about schedule recording, trigger policy, intelligent video, motion detection, storage report, 3GPP streaming, and many advanced functions.
Config camera, and many things as well, with right click menu.
Cameras, maps, and some objects can be dragged. Experiment with various operations with mouse drag&drop.
Use matrix mode for better performance. Decoding massive channels with massive resolution consumes hell lot of computing power. Use simplified player (no OSD, no aspect control, no zoom, no playback, no audio) for better performance.
List all hot-keys.
Config for IE access.
Enable intelligent video analytic on server in camera config. You don't want to do this if the server is not dedicated to surveillance. To analyze video, the engine must decode it first so it consumes fair amount of computing power.
Some of the indicators in player is clickable.
