Documentation for Auto Intellect 5.0. Documentation for other versions of Intellect is [available too].

The videoserver internal database contains the following information:

  1. system settings (information about the objects created in the system, their properties, the users and user rights, and other data);
  2. events registered by the system (event logs) during the time period set in the configuration.

The internal database of the server has the MS SQL format. A list of versions MS SQL Server, supported in Auto-Intellect PC is identical with the list of versions for the Intellect software (see the Intellect Software Package. Administrator's Guide document).

The object data, the settings of the surveillance systems and the event logs may be automatically replicated from a videoserver or administration workstation to all databases of other videoservers and administrator workstations in the system. The full-scale Intellect kernels communicate with each other using the TCP/IP protocol (if such communication is enabled during the system configuration).

The object information is initially saved in the database of the videoserver or administration workstation which owns the corresponding objects. The information is automatically replicated when the data changes, the kernel is launched or the connection restored.
The replication is used to maintain common event space across the distributed surveillance system.

The replication process is hidden from the user.
