Installation 

Download and Installation from Server 

The NetGuard-EVS must be installed on your computer before you are able to use it. 

 

Note: Surveillance system administrators automatically get a NetGuard-EVS installed on the surveillance 
system server; this happens as part of the surveillance system server installation.  

 

Typically, you download the NetGuard-EVS from the surveillance system server, then install it on your 

computer. Alternatively, your surveillance system administrator may ask you to install the NetGuard-EVS 
from a CD (see 

Installation from CD

). 

 

To download and install the NetGuard-EVS from the surveillance system server, do the following: 
 

1.

 

Verify that your computer meets the NetGuard-EVS's minimum system requirements. 

  

2.

 

Open an Internet Explorer browser (version 6.0 or later), and connect to surveillance system 

server at the URL or IP address specified by your system administrator. When you are connected 

to the surveillance system server, you will see a welcome page. 

 

3.

 

On the welcome page, click the Download and Install the NetGuard-EVS locally link. 

 

Tip: Depending on your security settings, you may receive one or more security warnings (Do 

you want to run or save this file?, Do you want to run this software? or similar; exact wording 
depends on your browser version). When this is the case, accept the security warnings (by 

clicking Run or similar; exact button names depend on your browser version). 

 

4.

 

The NetGuard-EVS Setup Wizard begins. In the wizard, click Next, and follow the installation 
instructions. 

Installation from CD 

The NetGuard-EVS must be installed on your computer before you are able to use it. 
 

Typically, you download the NetGuard-EVS from the surveillance system server, then install it on your 

computer (see 

Download and Installation from Server

). Alternatively, your surveillance system administrator 

may ask you to install the NetGuard-EVS from a CD. 

 

To install the NetGuard-EVS from a CD, do the following: 
 

1.

 

Verify that your computer meets the NetGuard-EVS's minimum system requirements. 

  

2.

 

Insert the surveillance system software CD, wait for a short while, select required language, then 
click the Install NetGuard-EVS link. 

 

Tip: Depending on your security settings, you may receive one or more security warnings (Do 

you want to run or save this file?, Do you want to run this software? or similar; exact wording 

depends on your browser version). When this is the case, accept the security warnings (by 
clicking Run or similar; exact button names depend on your browser version).
