2 1 Omnicast Overview This document explains how to configure and deploy Omnicast with Hikvision devices. Omnicast is an enterprise IP security solution that provides seamless management of digital video, audio and data across any IP network. Its open and distributed architecture offers the freedom to design a system that truly matches your needs. 2 Current test environment minimum requirements recommended requirements current test environment monitor 1280* * *1080 resolution OS Windows XP with Service Windows XP with Service win 7 64-bit Pack(SP)2 or later, Pack(SP)2 or later, Windows Vista, Win 7 or Win 8 64-bit Windows Vista, Win 7 or Win 8 64-bit CPU Intel Single Core 2.4GHz Intel Dual Core 2.0GHz Intel(R) processor processor core(tm)i GHz 3.60GHz System RAM 1GB 2GB 8GB Video card PCI Express, DirectX 9.0c PCI Express, DirectX 10.0 Standard VGA compliant with 128 MB RAM (Intel GMA 900 or better, NVIDIA 6600 or compliant with 256 MB RAM (NVIDIA GeForce 600 series or better) Graphics Adapter better, ATI X1300 or better) Network card 100Mbps 1Gbps 100Mbps Hard disk 500MB 500MB 127G space 3 Server Admin The Server Admin is the first application you use to configure Omnicast. It must be run locally on each PC where Omnicast server applications have been installed. It is used to: Install or update the Omnicast license (a separate license is required for every server running

3 either the Directory or the Archiver service). Configure the Omnicast server applications installed locally. Only users with access (Microsoft Windows username/password) to the server hosting the Omnicast services can run the Server Admin. When Omnicast Server is installed for the first time, a wizard appears to help you configure the Server Admin. The options that are not supported by your license are not shown on this page. 4 Config Tool The Config Tool is the primary companion of the Omnicast administrator. It takes care of all the security and configuration needs of the system. It allows security managers to program intelligent and sophisticated system behaviors to handle virtually any type of situation.

If the primary Archiver fails, then the control of the unit will be transferred to the next Archiver. This is failover archiver. Redundant archiver: When the standby Archivers are not acting as the primary Archiver, they can be used to produce redundant archives. Redundant archiving is a feature that can be turned on or off on a camera by camera basis Failover Archiver If you want to configure the failover function, your license must have the rights of failover Archiver function.
