If the H4 ES camera is working by itself as a server and camera, it will keep time with the configured NTP server.
If the H4 ES camera is connected to another ACC Server as a camera, it will use that server as its time source. If it
is unable to communicate with the server, the camera will use the configured NTP server.
Changing the Communication Ports
The server component communicates with the ACC Client through a range of UDP and TCP ports. The port
ranges only need to be changed if you need to access two or more instances of the ACC Server that are behind
the same NAT device (e.g. router), or if there is a port conflict on the network.
You can change these settings on the
ACC ES > Setup
page.
1. In the Service Ports and RTP Ports area, you can change the Base Port that is used to access the ACC
Server.
2. Click
Apply
.
3. When the browser displays the following error message, click
OK
:
The new service base port or login limits will only take effect once Control Center Server is restarted.
Restart Control Center Server now?
The server component restarts. The camera will continue to stream video but will not record anything until the
server component is back online.
Enabling Storage Management
To archive video from the ACC Client, you must enable it in the web interface first.
The
ACC ES > Storage Management
page allows you to enable the video archiving feature and set the network
location where archived video is saved.
1. Select the
Enable Storage Management
check box.
2. From the Network Protocol: drop down list, select one of the following:
l
CIFS
— Common internet file system. The network path is typically in this format: //
<hostname or
IP>
/
<path>
l
NFS
— Network file system. The network path is typically in this format:
<hostname or IP>
:
<path>
3. In the
Network Path:
field, enter the path to the preferred video archiving location.
4. If the network location requires authentication, select the
Authentication
check box then enter the
credentials in the Username and Password fields.
5. Click
Apply
.
You can now set up Storage Management in the ACC Client or archive video on demand.
Overriding the Login Limit
If your H4 ES camera is configured as a single camera site, only 2 users can log in to the site at the same time. If
you need extra access for users who will not be monitoring video, you can override the recommended login
limit.
NOTE:
If more than 2 users log into the site simultaneously, be aware that this may cause degraded camera
performance depending on the camera settings.
You can change the login limit settings on the
ACC ES > Setup
page.
