Dial-Up Configuration
− The NetVision Capture Station calls the
SiteWatch server only. Through its internal
modem and telephone connection.
− Configuring the dial-up feature is done through
the conventional Window’s utility e.g. Windows
2000: Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network and
Dial-up Connections/Make New Connection.
− “Dial-up to private network” is selected for the
NetVision Capture Station and “Accept incoming
connections” is set at the SiteWatch server PC.
− The Server PC’s phone number is entered at the
NetVision Capture Station’s dial-up and “For All
Users” is selected. Continue until finished.
− At the SiteWatch Server PC’s dial-up Wizard, an
installed modem on the PC is selected. The next
screen may be left as “Allow Virtual Private
connection” selected. Next screen: a new user is
added. E.g. User name: SiteWatch, Full name:
SiteWatch Server, Password: SiteWatch, Confirm
password: SiteWatch. Continue until finished.
− NOTE: the NetVision Capture Station “Dial-up to
private network” and the SiteWatch Server’s “Accept
incomming connections” user name and password
must be the same.
− Remember to enter the dial-up connection name in
the SiteWatch NetVision configuration box.
− After all the Dial-up details are done, the SiteWatch
NetVision will begin calling the SiteWatch server.
The first time it connects to the server, the
SiteWatch NetVision will learn what its schedule is to
call in with its condition and not call again until it is
scheduled to.
NOTE: The NetVision client PC will synchronize its
time with the SiteWatch Server PC each time it
communicates (if the time drift is within 1 minute).
The SiteWatch server PC can adjust to an atomic
clock periodically over the Internet by installing
special software on the server PC for it. A free
download of Atomic Clock sync software can be
found at
<http://worldtimeserver.com>
If the NetVision client PC’s time diffrence is greater
then 1 minute during a synchronization, an event
will display in the event’s list for the particular
NetVision client PC saying: “time changed
(tamper)” as, this could mean the PC’s time was
tampered with. The Sitewatch Server will adjust the
client PC’s time and generate this message: “time
changed by 1 hr. (server enforced)”.
• SiteWatch Server
NOTE:
The requirement to operate the SiteWatch
Server is 512
Mb of RAM.
MSDE Requirements
• The Account where the SiteWatch Server is
installed must have Administrative Permission and
Manual Logon.
• This computer must have file and print sharing.
• This computer must have a Network adapter.
− When installing the server application, the
program will prompt for the USB Server
licensing key to be plugged into the Server
PC.
− Selecting “Next” will begin the installation of
the MSDE (database).
The Server is installed as a Window’s Service
‘MSDE” and is installed as the Database engine. All
event information will be stored in the file
SiteWatchServer.log, located in the root directory of
the drive where the service is installed.
NOTE: If necessary, it is recommended to install a
SiteWatch Client on the Server PC to acknowledge
that the Server application is running.
The following events are sent to the server as soon
as they occur. They are checked every minute in
the SiteWatch Netvision.
- Configuration changes (Camera Settings,
Recorder Settings, Option Settings). These
items are accessible through Menu Utility in the
Netvision Application.
- NetVision starts/shutdown.
- Changes in Video status (video loss, online,
offline).
SiteWatch Server Name
- This is the name of the computer that the
SiteWatch server software is located on.
- A computer’s name is commonly found on the
computer by right clicking on a “My Computer”
icon or reference, selecting “Properties” and
selecting e.g. “Computer Name”, “Network
Identification”, etc.
• SiteWatch Client (no USB key)
To operate the Client, the operator must have
their authority previously defined by an
administrator. The operator might be able to see
all groups of NetVision PCs or specific ones
according to their authorities. To start configuring
the system, a NetVision Group and then a
NetVision PC with its IP address and schedule
are defined. The schedule will inform the
SiteWatch NetVision service how often it should
send data to the server. After making these
settings, the NetVision capture station is properly
registered on the server and ready to send status
information to the server and be viewed on the
Client.
