1.
Verify that your computer meets Ocularis Client Lite 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.
4.
On the welcome page, select the link Download Ocularis Client Lite.
5.
From the resulting page, click the link Download Ocularis Client Lite.
6.
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).
7.
Ocularis Client Lite Wizard begins. In the wizard, click Next, and follow the installation
instructions.
For surveillance system administrators, it is possible to deploy Ocularis Client Lite 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 Ocularis Client Lite, over
local networks.
1.
Locate the self-extracting Ocularis Client Lite 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.
Example of a relevant subfolder under the httpdocs folder: ...\httpdocs\Ocularis Client Lite
Installers\.
3.
With an extraction tool, such as WinZip® or similar, extract the files contained in the
installation file to a folder of your choice.
When extraction is done, the folder to which you extracted will contain a small number of files,
among these a file with the extension .msi. The .msi file is a Microsoft Windows Installer
installation package covering the complete Ocularis Client Lite installation procedure.
4.
You can now use your systems management tool to deploy the .msi file.
Alternatively, you can simply copy the msi. file to required computers, and run the .msi file
from a command prompt.
NetGuard
NetGuard provides users with access to the surveillance system. NetGuard does not offer nearly as
many features as Ocularis Client Lite or NetGuard-EVS. The main benefit of NetGuard is that it is
accessed through a browser and run directly from the surveillance system server. This eliminates the
need for installing any client software on the user's computer.
Tip: See system requirements for NetGuard under
System Requirements
