Installation
Information on installation
- Ocularis 5 Recorder must not be installed on a compressed drive, since this can result in problems with the database. A drive on which Ocularis 5 Recorder is already installed must not be compressed subsequently.
- DirectX is installed during installation, and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 as well, which may require a restart in the case of a first-time installation. If you receive an error message telling you that DirectX could not be installed, you must install it subsequently.
- The OnSSI AutoUpdater is always installed.
Virus scanning
Web guard and internet security features must not be installed.
- To run the software properly, exclude specific locations, processes and network traffic, since virus scanning could use a high amount of system resources.
- The scanning process could temporarily lock files. This may lead to a disruption in the recording process or even database corruption.
- Do not perform a real time and system scan of Ocularis 5 Recorder directories containing recording databases (by default C:\Program Files\OnSSI, as well as all subfolders).
- Avoid a real time and system scan on archived storage directories.
- Create the following additional exclusions:
- c:\Program Files\OnSSI\Ocularis Recorder\*.* (including all sub folders) - do this on a Core Server and/or DM
- c:\inetpub\wwwroot\OcularisService\*.* (including all sub folders) - do this on Ocularis Base server
- c:\Program Files (x86)\OnSSI\*.* (including all sub folders) - do this on Ocularis Base server
- c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\OnSSI\*.*
- Path to Multimedia Database Zone(s)
- Exclude these Windows Services:
- MAXDB:SEETEC
- VMS_CORE
- VMS_DM
- VMS_MDS
- VMS_UPDATER
- VMS_UPDATESVR
- VMS_VA
- Exclude these Windows Processes:
- VMS_VAS.exe
- VMS_VA.exe
- VMS_UpdateService.exe
- VMS_UpdateAgent.exe
- VMS_MDS.exe
- VMS_DM.exe
- VMS-CORE.exe
- Exclude real time network scanning on TCP ports
- Exclude network scanning of the processes starting with VMS_* (e.g. VMS_Client.exe)
Firewalls
Multiple ports on the server computer must be available by default to allow the Ocularis Recorder software to function correctly in a network environment with a firewall.
These are in the range from 60000 to 60008 (TCP communication), 63000 (TCP, AutoUpdate) and 60007 (UDP, image transmission).
The client must also be accessible at ports 60000-60008, 63000 (TCP) and 60007 (UDP).
The TCP alarm ports of the camera must also be accessible on the server computer that administers a camera to guarantee alarm processing.
Some cameras use the RTSP over RTP over UDP standard for MPEG4 image transmission. In this case, the server sends the requirements (e.g. frame rate and resolution) to the camera via TCP port 554. The camera sends the image data to the server via a UDP port.
The corresponding ports must therefore not be blocked between the camera and the server.
Setup types
- Manager & Server. This installation type installs the core server, device manager and Ocularis Recorder Manager on the computer.
- Manager. This installation type installs only the Ocularis Recorder Manager software.
- Device Manager. This installation type installs only the server services for the cameras (DM/MDB) on the selected computer.
- User-defined. In a user-defined installation, it is possible to install only specific components on a computer.
