How to Configure a GeoVision Video Server to Connect to Center V2 System Good afternoon and welcome to ApexCCTV’s tutorial on how to configure a GeoVision Video Server to connect to a GeoVision Center V2 System. I’ll load the Center V2 System and as you can see an incoming client connection is already allowed. If you notice at the top I’ve already allowed a demonstration DVR so we do have connections to the system, Center V2 System is up and running, allowing for monitoring. We’ll go over to the accounts button and click that, which will bring up the address book. And I will expand the demonstration Video Server section so you can see I have a session allowed for the video server already. Go ahead and close the address book and minimize Center V2, and launch Internet Explorer. Next browse to the GeoVision video server set up, you can use the IP address or hostname, and then log in with admin rights. On the left side under available configuration settings for our video server click on events and alerts, that’s where the Center V2 System settings are. Expand that and click on Center V2, you should check the activate link, enter your IP address for the machine running the Center V2 System software, the correct port number is entered as is the username and password. Go ahead and leave all the motion detection and triggers unchecked and we don’t want to set a schedule we want it to run all the time. If you power it down, reboot it, disconnect a camera, connect a camera as long as Center V2 is available it will be connected. I’ll click apply and that’ll connect us to Center V2. At the bottom we should see a connection status of connected. Now we’re connected to our Center V2 System and I can pull up the Center V2 System software again. I’ll go to the demonstration Video Server and expand the list I can see that it’s online. It’s that simple, you’re all done. Thank you for choosing ApexCCTV.
