Installation
Architecture
TruVision Navigator is made up of 3 components:
• Client
• Services
• Database
The TruVision Navigator architecture is flexible enough to allow all 3 of these
components to co-exist on the same PC (i.e. a single Windows 7 machine) in small-
scale environments.
As well, TruVision Navigator allows each of these 3 components to operate on separate
machines (i.e. a virtual server for Services, a dedicated database machine for Database,
and multiple PCs distributed on the network hosting Clients) for large- scale, distributed
environments.
Installation Options
There are 2 installation options for TruVision Navigator:
Standalone Model (or Direct Database Connection) - this installation option allows
the Client, the Database, and the Services to be located on the same machine. The one
limitation is that no other Clients on the network can connect to the database on this
machine. This installation option is ideal for small, standalone systems.
Multi-Client Model (or Traditional Client/Server) - This installation option allows the
Client, the Database, and the Services to be located on the same or separate machines.
This option requires a Web Service (either Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS)
or Cassini) for communication between the multiple Clients and the shared Database.
This installation option is ideal for larger systems with many geographically dispersed
users, PCs, and recording devices.
