Installation and Operating Manual | VIDOS Server
A VIDOS client that is integrated into a server system no longer provides local
user administration. The license for such a client differs from the license for a
stand-alone VIDOS PC that is operated without server support.
Upgrades
To expand existing VIDOS systems with a server to become a client/server
application, it is not necessary to set up client licenses for the VIDOS
workstations. Each licensed VIDOS workstation automatically has access to a
server and can operate as a client. This enables simple and fast migration.
Users in the server system
Users are created on the server using Configuration Manager. Only users that
have been set up on the server can log in on the VIDOS client. The only
exception to this is the user
admin , who always has local access to the VIDOS
client.
Devices in the server system
Authorizations for each device and each camera are specified separately for
individual user groups on the server. In the system, users can only see the
devices for which they have been assigned the corresponding authorization.
Server connection information
To edit the configuration of the server, you must use the Configuration Manager
to connect to the VIDOS Server (
File > Connect to server… ). You are then
prompted to enter your user name and password.
This connection is maintained until you either close the Configuration Manager
or disconnect (
File > Disconnect from server ).
You do not need to use the Configuration Manager installed on the server PC.
You can use a Configuration Manager on any other PC, as long as a connection
to the server PC can be established via the network.
The connection between a client and the server is established using the
Configuration Manager on the client PC. This connection is maintained if the
Configuration Manager is closed on the server PC.
