3.10.7 Remote configuration
Managing devices remotely from a client helps to configure any device with a centralized interface and a unique
PC.
Nethunter architecture does not allow the clients to have any direct interaction with final devices. Remote
configuration allows you to load and save each device settings from any client with few simple steps.
Each device will display different parameters on this section. Please, refer to each device manual to understand
all its available parameters.
When a device is selected there are some available options (buttons) to manage its settings resources:
Button
Description
Load from device
Get the device configuration parameters. This option must be done before checking or administering
device parameters. Otherwise the device parameters will be in a disabled status.
Save to device
After administering parameters you need to send them to the device in order to be applied.
Export to file
Trough this option it is possible to backup a device parameters list. It is required to “Load from device”
first. (Not available in NVVR)
Import from file
Option to restore settings that are recorded through the “Save to file” option. (Not available in NVVR)
After saving the configuration to a specific device, it will be applied.
Some devices may have different behaviors after applying new settings (no effect, restart, …) it is recommended
to check the specific device documentation to be sure that it will not have any unexpected result.
3.10.8 Real-time events classification
This option allows end-users to configure what actions will be executed by Nethunter clients according to the
real-time received event. This configuration is stored on the NHServer database and applies to all NHClients
which are connected to the same NHServer.
It’s up to end-users configure it according to its internal policy. By default, all devices are configured in the
category “Information” and that category have only checked the action “Notify in real-time panel”.
There are 2 different sections to complete all configuration.
WARNING
Keep in mind that a wrong configuration might collapse Nethunter clients. For example, by showing Live popup video when a very often event is
received. If this is the case, keep pressed the Shift key to avoid that any Live popup window to be shown and change the configuration.
3.10.8.1 Category actions
In this option, the categories are linked to the available actions. Whatever change made must be confirmed by
clicking on the button “Save changes”. There are 4 different actions :
o Notify in real-time panel : The event is shown in the bottom RT events panel.
o Show real-time live video : Live video from the cameras linked to the event is shown in a pop-up window
in the primary monitor.
o Play a sound : The sound selected in the list is played. All .wav files stored in the folder “Sounds” will
be shown in that list.
o Category color : The color of the event when shown in the bottom RT events panel.
For example, in the following screenshot the “Information” category has 3 active actions : notify in real-time
panel , show real-time live video and the category color. When any event of category “Information” arrives, the
event will be shown in the bottom RT events panel in olive color and a pop-up window showing live images
from the event cameras will be shown.
In order to complete the configuration, the link between events and categories must be done. This is set in the
tab “Events and categories”
