Network connection requirements
• If the video surveillance system does not have a physically isolated network, connect all IP cameras and one server NIC to a dedicated
camera VLAN (virtual LAN).
• Install the camera manufacturer’s software on a PC in this subnet, or configure the router to connect a client computer with the camera
subnet. For information on how to configure the network, see Configuring the server.
This VLAN configuration reduces the chances of network traffic conflicts and unauthorized access to the cameras.
Initial startup
When you start the exacqVision server for the first time, create a user name and password for the operating system, then create a root user
name and password for the Enterprise Manager.
1. Turn on the exacqVision server.
2. Create a user name and password for the operating system when the log on dialog box appears. Configure operating system settings as
required.
3. If prompted, log on again to the operating system with the user name and password you just created.
4. When you log on, an exacqVision dialog box appears on the desktop. Create the exacqVision admin user name and password.
Note: These are not the same as the credentials you created to log on to the operating system. Use these credentials to log on to the
exacqVision Server.
Configuring the server
1. Turn on the server.
2. Open the exacqVision client application.
3. From the navigation tree, select System Setup, and select the Network tab.
4. Choose one of the following options:
- To install the server on a network that uses static IP addressing, select Static and enter the IP address.
- To install the server on a network using DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol), select Dynamic. If the information does not
configure automatically, contact your network administrator.
5. Click Apply.
6. Repeat this procedure for any additional network ports. For more information about configuring the server, refer to the exacqVision Start
User Manual.
Setting up remote access to the server
Configure the server through a remote exacqVision client.
1. Download the latest exacqVision Client software from the Exacq website at: https://www.exacq.com/support/downloads.php
2. Install the client software on a system administrator computer.
3. Confirm the connectivity with the server using the ping command and the server's IP address. If the client PC can not communicate with
the server, contact your network administrator.
Remote access for administrative support
For administrative support to access to the server remotely, configure remote desktop for Windows, or SSH for Linux depending on the
computer operating system. For more information, refer to the following Exacq Knowledge Base articles:
•Using remote desktop to manage Windows-based exacqVision servers: https://support.exacq.com/#/knowledge-base/article/579
•Enabling/Disabling SSH on exacqVision Linux Server: https://www.exacq.com/kb/?kbid=6186
Configuring the client
1. Start the exacqVision client application.
2. Click the Config (Setup) page icon.
3. From the navigation tree, select Add Systems.
4. In the System List select the server.
