Archive Server GUI
The Archive Server’s interface has 5 tabs: Playback, Export/Import, Storage,
Settings, and License; all described below. Once the software has been
installed, double click the Archive GUI icon located on the desktop, and the
Playback page appears:
Use the Exit button to shutdown the Archive Server, or Hide button to
minimize the window to the task bar.
Setup
There are two steps to setup the Archive Server- set the Archive Server’s IP
address on the Primary VSR server, and add a storage location from the
Archive Server’s Storage tab.
First, configure the Archive Server’s IP Address on the Primary VSR Server
(see Archive Server, page 16). Next, add a storage location from the Storage
tab (see Storage, page 28). The storage location is where the archived video log
files are saved.
After the IP address is configured and a storage location is added, the Archive
Server will begin to automatically archive all video log files created after the
installation. The archive is updated every 15 minutes. To check for new video
log files, go to the Playback tab and click Search. All new video log files will
appear in the search window.
