Videogate configuration

Videogates are used in large-scale distributed video surveillance systems for video signal routing among the Servers, Remote Admin Workstations and Remote Monitoring Workstations that are in different subnets.

To configure the gateway, do the following:

1. Sync the videogate database with the databases of other Servers and Remote Admin Workstations (for example, via the centralized database of the administering Server, see INTELLECT™ software database management section).
2. Start the INTELLECT™ program on the videogate.
3. Enable and configure the Videogate module (see Configuring the Videogate module section).
4. Configure the hardware performance tester and the restart service (see Configuring the System restart service section).
5. If auto options are to be used, create the macros and time zones, enable and configure the notification services (see Creating and using macros, Creating and using time zones and Notification services sections).
6. Assign the rights to users in order to work with the Videogate system objects (see Rights administration section).
7. Set up logging of events registered for the Videogate system objects (see Configuring the Event Viewer).
8. With remote setup of the videogate (e.g., from the administering Server), register the Computer object, corresponding to the Remote Admin Workstation, and set the parameters of interaction with Servers, Remote Admin Workstations and Remote Monitoring Workstations of the distributed video surveillance system (see Configuring the INTELLECT™software system with distributed architecture of the digital video surveillance system section). While local setup of the videogate the relevant Computer object is created automatically in the Hardware tab during the first startup.
