How to configure exacqVision Server 3.2 with OnGuard 5.12.110

Procedure Steps

Follow these steps carefully to configure exacqVision Server 3.2 with OnGuard:

1) Install the 5.12.110 Accessory Add-On for exacqVision Support 1.0.1 on the OnGuard workstation. (The file name is Accessory Add-On for ExacqVision Server DVR.msi.)

2) Start System Administration.

3) Add the ExacqVision Server recorder type to the Video Recorder Type drop-down. (From the Video menu, select Digital Video. On the Video Recorder tab, click [Add] and then configure the recorder.)

4) Add the DVR credentials for the LDVR (user name and password) in the Digital Video folder.

5) Verify that the camera names (on the Camera tab in the Digital Video folder) exactly match the camera names configured on the exacqVision recorder. If they are not the same, there will be no communication between OnGuard and the camera channel.

6) Perform a download to the recorder.

7) If Alarm Monitoring is open, close it and then re-open it after configuration is complete.
