The number of installation screens and their content may vary depending on the configuration of the video surveillance system you want to deploy (number video servers, number of channels, number and type of video-recording devices used).
Warning
All software and drivers must be installed using an administrator account.
We recommend deploying your video surveillance system in the following order:
-
Install video surveillance equipment. Generally speaking, your video surveillance system may include the following video-recording equipment:
If your video surveillance system won't use one of the device types listed, then skip the corresponding screen. Moreover, installation of IP cameras (including PTZ cameras) is not considered at this stage, because the entire installation process consists of connecting the camera to the local network and setting up an IP address for it.
-
Server OS setup for proper software operation.
-
Installation of Guardant USB key drivers on all servers. USB keys are used to protect licensed copies of the software and are required to run it.
Tip
The demo version of TRASSIR is distributed free of charge and does not require a software protection dongle. The activation process is described in the sections:
-
Install the PostgreSQL DBMS on the server. Later, a database for recording and storing events will be automatically created on the server. If your video surveillance system will have a heavy stream of a large number of events, we recommend installing the PostgreSQL DBMS on a dedicated server (not used for processing and recording video) for proper operation.
-
Installation of the software as standalone app or Windows service.
-
Installation of the software client version to all workstations that will be used for video surveillance.
Please note that video surveillance can be performed either via the client or via the server. In addition, you can also choose not to install the software on the operators' workstations at all. To do so, you need to configure web-server. All the video surveillance functions will be available using a regular browser. You only need the Mozilla FireFox browser installed on your workstation and a video surveillance extension, which is installed by clicking on the corresponding link in the browser.
