Before you start installation Siemens recommends that you go through the requirements described in the next sections, before you start the actual installation. Prepare your servers and network Operating system Make sure that all servers have a clean installation of a Microsoft Windows operating system, and that it is updated with all the latest Windows updates. For information about the minimum system requirements to the various components of your system, go to the Siemens website (https://www.siemens.
Virus scanning (explained) The Siveillance Video software contains a database and as with any other database you need to exclude certain files and folders from virus scanning. Without implementing these exceptions, virus scanning uses a considerable amount of system resources. On top of that, the scanning process can temporarily lock files, which could result in a disruption in the recording process or even corruption of databases.
The recording server must be able to connect to the cameras. To verify that, connect to your cameras from a browser or the software that came with your camera, on the computer where you want to install the Siveillance Video system. If you cannot access a camera, the Siveillance Video system cannot access the camera either. For security reasons, Siemens recommends that you change camera credentials from their manufacturer defaults.
