Creating a Mixed Platform Site
You have the option of adding the H4 ES camera site to a larger site that includes other platform servers: like an
NVR server, High Definition Video Recorder (HDVA) or ACC ES Recorder. Or, you can manage the H4 ES camera
site in a parent-child relationship.
Before you create a site family, be aware of the following requirements:
l
Only Windows based ACC Servers can act as a parent.
l
The H4 ES camera cannot act as a parent, it can only be a child site.

site that is already a parent.

Naming in ACC
To help you identify different devices in the ACC Client, you can change the name of the H4 ES camera. Be
aware that you can only change the name of the site and the camera. The server automatically uses the same
name as the camera.
The default name for the H4 ES camera is its display model number and serial number in this format:
<model
number>
-
<serial number>
