Configuring the Device Manager (DM)
The main tasks of the Device Manager are:
- Management of all connected hardware like cameras, video servers, Adam-modules
- Distribution of image data e. g. to the clients, multimedia database
- Communication with other services
- Event handling
General
- If desired, modify the Name of the image data server. When there are multiple DMs in an environment, the naming convention used is important to be able to distinguish one from another.
- Ocularis Ultimate or Enterprise: Select the failover Server. In the event of the failure of the image data server, all connected devices are transferred to the failover server.A distributed DeviceManager installation is required (see Installation of a Device Manager), since the failover server must have sufficient capacity to take over the devices (see System requirements).
- Specify the time of the data aging search.
- Activate Accesses to video sources to save these events.
- Select the period after which the events are automatically deleted.
- Click the Apply button adjacent to Display statistics to display the available recordings of the individual cameras.
- Click the Apply button adjacent to Remove from the system button to remove the DeviceManager from the system configuration.Always contact OnSSI Support before deletion.
Options
- If necessary, alter the port for SIP messages (see VoIP and SIP).
Video data export
Automatic video export to server
- Check the box Activate automatic export of the image data.
- Create the export path for the automatic storage of the image data, or click Apply adjacent to Select path to select the folder directly in Windows Explorer.Client and server must be installed on the computer for the export folder to be specified. The export path must be accessible by the DeviceManager server.
- Click the Check path button to check the availability of the specified folder.
- Specify the time of the export.
- Activate Export image data of the last 24 hours to export the image data of the last 24 hours before the specified export time. If this option is not to be activated, the image data of the previous day (midnight to midnight) are exported.
- Specify a password, with which the image data is encrypted.
Manual image data export
For manual image data export (see Video data export) to the client, a temporary folder on the server is required. There the export data are stored temporarily before they are sent to the client.
- Create the temporary export folder on the server for the manual storage of the image data, or click Apply adjacent to Select path to select the folder directly in Windows Explorer. The temporary export path must be accessible by the DeviceManager server.
- Click Check path to ensure that the Ocularis Recorder server services can write to the folder and read from it.Make sure that there is sufficient storage space for large export files on the partition on which the temporary folder is created.
- Specify a password to be used to encrypt the image data.
The password will be required to export the image data (see Multiple export of image data).
- Remove the stored password with Delete password.
- Apply the set values if you want to make further settings.
- Save the set values to apply the values and conclude input.
