Add a Server
To add an exacqVision server for ESM to monitor, complete the following steps:
NOTE: An exacqVision Server must have a valid and current Enterprise license to be monitored by ESM. You can
find an exacqVision system’s license information by opening its System page on the Config (Setup) page.
1. Select [add] next to Servers.
2. Enter all the information about the video server, including the IP address or hostname, Port number, and
user name/password of an administrator account used to connect to the server.
3. If you want to stream video from the server on the camera pages, enter the IP address or hostname of an
exacqVision web server associated with the server, along with a username and password used to connect
to the web server.
4. Select a server group. Every server must be part of a group, and the default group is shown in the Group
drop-down list.
5. Failover allows you to automatically or manually switch recording from one server to a spare if this server
fails. You can select a Failover Group, or you can designate this server as a spare. Spare servers cannot be
configured for regular recording. For more information, see the “Failover Groups” section of this
document.
6. Select Browse to load a picture of the video server for easy identification among many servers in the
install location.
7. In the Additional Data field, enter other optional information about the server that can assist an ESM user.
8. Click Save to complete the configuration, or click Save & New to repeat these steps for another server.
9. All cameras and events associated with the added servers are then displayed in the ESM dashboard (not
shown; see Dashboard section for details).
