Standard installation

The standard installation installs the system with the managers (configuration application also called the 'Ocularis Recorder Manager' and device manager) and Server ('Core') on a single system ('Manager & Server').

  1. From the ‘Ocularis Component Downloads’ web page, click the Download button next to Ocularis Recorder.
  2. Choose to Run the application to launch the installer.
  3. Select the installation language. You can configure the language of the user interface after installation.
  4. Click OK to start installation.
  5. At the Welcome screen, click Next.
  6. Read the software license agreement, accept the terms and then click Next.
  7. Change the destination folder if desired. Click Next.

  1. Select 'Manager & Server' as the Setup Type and click Next.

The port number of the Management service (Master Core) is set at '60000'. If the port number must be changed, contact OnSSI Tech Support.

  1. In the Host field under 'IP address/hostname for server communication', enter the IP Address for the Device Manager. Select it from the drop-down list labeled 'IP addresses/host names found'. This should be the IP Address of the computer you are running the installation on.

Neither the IP 127.0.0.1 nor the host name ‘localhost’ may be used in this field.

In the Update service section, 'localhost' is acceptable if you are installing the UpdateService SVR on the Master Core Server. This is the default value and is recommended. See Update Service for more information on the Update Service.

Click Next

  1. If you want, alter the existing path for image storage, or delete or add additional folder paths. Additional locations or ’zones’ for video storage may be added now or after the software has been installed. Use a subfolder and not the root of a drive for a zone.

If the folder is created on a network drive, enter the complete UNC path.

Example: \\IP Address\Release name\path

If the network drive is protected with a user name and password, select Using network authorization and click Authorization.

Enter the user name and password for accessing the network drive, and then click OK. Ensure that the specified user is available locally and that the domain is included in the user name field (e.g. "Domain\\User name").
