Configuring remote archive server

INTELLECT™ software has a backup archiving option for video records from the video surveillance Servers. As the archiving process requires great computer resources, archiving is not to be performed on the Servers directly. It is strongly recommended to choose the individual Remote Admin Workstation as the archiving Server.

To configure the archiving server, do the following:

1. Sync the archive server database with the databases of other Servers and Remote Admin Workstations (for example, via the centralized database of the administering Server, see Appendix 4. INTELLECT™ software database management section).
2. Start the INTELLECT™ program on the archive server.
3. With remote setup of the archive server (e.g., from the administering Server), register the Computer object, corresponding to the archive server, and set the parameters of interaction with the Servers, Remote Admin Workstations and Remote Monitoring Workstations of the distributed video surveillance system (see Configuration of distributed architecture section). While local setup of the archive server the relevant Computer object is created automatically in the Hardware tab during the first startup.
4. Enable and configure the Backup archive module (see Configuring backup archiving section).
5. Configure the hardware performance tester and the restart service (see Configuring the System restart service section).
6. 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).
7. Assign the rights to users in order to work with the Videogate system objects (see Rights administration section).
8. Set up logging of events registered for the Videogate system objects (see Configuring the Event Viewer).
