Software Environment
Your appliance is pre-configured with an operating system as well as a
Quick Setup Wizard
to assist you
in setting up your chosen video management client software. It is not recommended that you remove,
modify or add software to your appliance unless required by your deployment scenario.
8.1
Pre-Packaged Video Management Software (VMS)
All SKYVIEW Pro appliances are delivered with a fully customizable software environment, pre-loaded
and ready to go. Most major VMS client packages are included with the appliance and have been tested
to ensure reliable performance expected from a video management platform.

Milestone Systems XProtect
Mirasys
Others…
The Quick Setup Wizard allows you, at first boot time, to select the VMS client package you wish to
deploy to your appliance.
Note:
You can also set-up your appliance with a plain Windows Embedded Standard 7 image if
required so that you may control the software environment.
8.2
Anti-Virus Software
Because of a high risk of system performance depreciation, we do not recommend using an anti-virus
program with your appliance.
Should your installation require anti-virus software, ensure that the video file extensions (*.avi, *.asf,
etc...) for your chosen VMS software are exempted from scans. This will make sure that video files are
not scanned, thus avoiding any performance issues.
8.3
Software Updates
We do not recommend installing any application updates unless absolutely necessary.
We also do not recommend enabling automatic updates for the Windows operating system or
performing any operating system or drive updates manually; the software environment shipped with
your device has been tested to perform as specified, any updates may alter the system’s behaviour.
