Setup and Configuration
Once a server is installed and configured, you may use both the Monitor Station client to configure Server settings and the IP Server Manager Utility.
Easily Add Cameras
Adding cameras to your Video Insight server is simple. There are options to import from previous version of Video Insight, auto discovery, and manual options.
Auto Discovery
This wizard searches your current network segment for existing online IP cameras. When it detects an IP camera, it examines the MAC address to determine the manufacturer. It then accesses the camera using the user name and password. If the camera successfully responds, then the software obtains the camera model.
Manually Add Cameras
Import from Legacy Software
Modifying Camera Details
Cameras may need to be modified or tweaked post install or after some time due to environment changes and or firmware upgrades or simply as part of the initial setup. This can easily be accomplished with Video Insight.
Manage Maintenance Records
Video Insight makes it easy to keep track of all changes and service for each camera. Using the maintenance tab for each camera you can keep a detailed log about each camera.
Failover Server
When multiple servers are used to manage cameras it is unfortunately a possibility one of them
may become unresponsive due to a network outage or a hardware failure. To offer some degree of
disaster recovery protection the Failover feature will enable one server to take over recording
capabilities of the failed server. This minimizes loss of video and will enable continuous live
streaming video
User Management
The User Manager utility is used to add, modify and delete users. Adding groups and assigning permissions per group instead of individual users can also be done from this screen.
Active Directory , LDAP, eDirectory Integration
