Eocortex Configurator🔗
With the help of the Eocortex Configurator application, the Eocortex video surveillance system is set up, including license management, parameters of connected cameras, features used for the cameras, scenarios, schedules and intelligent modules, video server parameters, archive and redundancy settings, user authority, site plans, display profiles, archive bookmarks categories and other settings.
Important
When connecting the Eocortex Configurator application to the Eocortex server, it is recommended to use the same version of Eocortex Configurator as the server version.
If this condition is not met, the video surveillance system settings may be displayed incorrectly, and changing the settings may result in errors or be unavailable.
Important
Specify the actual local address of the server in the Local address setting (see Setting the server address). Using the default 127.0.0.1 (localhost) address when connecting to the server remotely (including with the Eocortex Configurator application), as well as in a multiserver system, may lead to errors and malfunctions in the video surveillance system.
Tip
To initially configure the Local address parameter, connect to the server using the Eocortex Configurator application of the same version as the server.
In this case, the optimal method is to run Eocortex Configurator directly on the server for which the Local address parameter is being configured.
Note
The Eocortex Configurator application is included in all the installation packages and is automatically installed with both server and client applications of Eocortex.
Note
To work with the Eocortex Configurator, it is recommended to use the screen resolution of no less than 1024×768 since using the screens with lower resolution may lead to issues with displaying the application.
Note
If the Eocortex Configurator application is running under the GNU/Linux family operating system, then some of the options may be disabled.
Note
For the correct operation of options related to receiving video streams (camera testing, motion detector configuration, video analytics module configuration) and checking alarm inputs/outputs, the Eocortex Configurator application must be connected directly to the camera.
Below you will find the procedure to be followed after having installed Eocortex Server (or Eocortex Standalone), in order to start the full-scale work with the system.
Run the Eocortex Configurator stating the IP address and the network port (8080 by default) of the server, as well as the username and password of the user with configuration privileges (by default, root user with the empty password).
Set up cameras (connection to cameras, archiving parameters, video analytics, etc).
If required, set up system user authority.
Apply settings and close Eocortex Configurator application.
Install and launch the Eocortex Client application, set up client workplace parameters, if required.
