Agent of Control, as well as Server of Control, can operate in distributed architecture of the digital video surveillance system. In this case both Server of Control and Agent of Control shall be configured locally, not remotely. Agents of Control can view each other in the distributed configuration but cannot change each other's settings. Agents of Control cannot view Servers of Control while Servers of Control can view where Agents of Control are installed.


Every time Agent of Control is started, it checks for a Backup folder at the root of the disk on which Intellect is installed. If this folder is missing, Agent of Control creates it. Do not delete this folder.

 To create necessary Agent of Control objects in the device tree:

  1. In the System settings window, go to the Hardware tab (1).
  2. Create an IIDK interface object based on a Computer object (2). Set the ID of the IIDK interface object (3).

  3. Create an Agent of Control object based on a Computer object.

  4. After an Agent of Control object is created in the right part of the System settings window, a panel appears for configuring the object.
  5. In the IIDK Interface No. field, enter the object ID for the IIDK interface created in step 2.

  6. Create one or more child Partition Of Control objects based on the Agent of Control object.

    The identification number of Partition of Control object shall not include any symbols except digits, otherwise events are not transmitted from such object to Server of Control.


  7. After the Partition Of Control object is created in the right part of the System settings window, a panel appears for configuring the object.

It is also necessary to create Video capture device, Camera, and Sensor objects in the device tree that correspond to the connected hardware. Creation and configuration of these objects is described in the document Intellect Software Package: Guide to Installation and Configuration of Security System Components (the most recent version of this document can be found in the AxxonSoft documentation repository).

Creation of the necessary objects in the device tree is now complete.
