Installation overview

In general, your installation is handled by one common installer. Depending on your selections, this

installer installs all or some of the following components:

 Management server, the center of your system installation. Typically installed on a dedicated

server.

 Recording server, used for recording video feeds, communicating with cameras via video

device drivers and other devices. Typically installed on one or more separate computers. The

video device drivers are automatically installed along with the recording server.

 Management Client, used for configuration and day-to-day management of the system.

Typically installed on the system administrator's computer or similar.

 XProtect Smart Client, feature-rich client used for accessing live and recorded video and

other features from your XProtect system. Must be installed on users' computers.

 Service channel, enables automatic and transparent configuration communication between

servers and clients in your system. By default installed on the management server but, if you

need to increase performance, it can be installed on another server.

 Event server, handles alarms and maps. Does not have to be installed on the management

server, better performance can often be achieved by installing it on another dedicated server.

 Log server, provides the necessary functionality for logging information from your system. By

default installed on the management server but, if you need to increase performance, it can be

installed on another server.

When installing the event server or log server, the URL address of the management server is

expressed like this: http//123.123.123.123. If installing the event server or log server on the

management server itself, this should be specified as localhost. The address can also include

a port, like this: http://123.123.123.123:2356 or http://Localhost:2356.

The common installer saves all components on the management server's download web page. Once

you have run the installer, single components can be (re-)installed from the management server

download web page.

Follow these links to get through the basic installation:

 Installation preconditions (on page 10)
