Note: Surveillance system administrators can automatically get a NetGuard-EVS installed on the
surveillance system server; this happens as part of the surveillance system server installation.
To download and install NetGuard-EVS from the surveillance system server, do the following:
1.
Verify that your computer meets NetGuard-EVS's minimum
system requirements
.
2.
Open an Internet Explorer browser (version 6.0 or later), and connect to the 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, select your required language in the menu in the top right corner. Then
go to the welcome page's NetGuard-EVS Installers section, and click the required NetGuard-
EVS language version link.
My welcome page is different, why? If your organization uses an older version of the
surveillance system server, the welcome page looks differently. In that case, go to the
welcome page's NetGuard-EVS section, and click the Download and Install NetGuard-EVS
Locally link.
4.
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).
5.
NetGuard-EVS Setup Wizard begins. In the wizard, click Next, and follow the installation
instructions.
Typically, you download 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 NetGuard-EVS from a DVD:
1.
Verify that your computer meets NetGuard-EVS's minimum system requirements.
2.
Insert the surveillance system software DVD, 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).
3.
When the installation wizard starts, click Next to continue the installation and follow the steps
in the installation wizard.
For surveillance system administrators, it is possible to deploy NetGuard-EVS to users’ computers
using tools such as Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS). Such tools let administrators build
up databases of hardware and software on local networks. The databases can then—among other
things—be used for distributing and installing software applications, such as NetGuard-EVS, over local
networks.
1.
Locate the self-extracting NetGuard-EVS installation (.exe) file.
You find the file in a subfolder under the folder httpdocs. The httpdocs folder is located under
the folder in which your surveillance software is installed.
