Installation

The number of installation screens and their content may vary depending on the configuration of the video surveillance system you want to deploy (number video servers, number of channels, number and type of video-recording devices used).

Warning

All software and drivers must be installed using an administrator account.

We recommend deploying your video surveillance system in the following order:

  1. Install video surveillance equipment. Generally speaking, your video surveillance system may include the following video-recording equipment:

    If your video surveillance system won't use one of the device types listed, then skip the corresponding screen. Moreover, installation of IP cameras (including PTZ cameras) is not considered at this stage, because the entire installation process consists of connecting the camera to the local network and setting up an IP address for it.

  2. Configure the servers' operating system for TRASSIR to work properly.
  3. Install drivers for Guardant USB keys on all servers. USB keys are used to protect licensed copies of TRASSIR and are required to run it.
  4. Install the PostgreSQL DBMS on the server. Later, a database for recording and storing events will be automatically created on the server. If your video surveillance system will have a heavy stream of a large number of events, we recommend installing the PostgreSQL DBMS on a dedicated server (not used for processing and recording video) for proper operation.
  5. Install TRASSIR Server software on all servers as a separate application or Windows service.

  6. Install TRASSIR Client all workstations that will be used for video surveillance.

    Note that both TRASSIR Client and TRASSIR Server may be used for video surveillance. Alternatively, you can altogether decline to install TRASSIR on operators' workstations. To do this, you will need to configure a TRASSIR web server. Then all the video surveillance functions will be available using an ordinary browser. A workstation only needs to have the Mozilla Firefox browser installed, as well as the video surveillance plug-in.
