Setup

Overview: The Configuration Tool is used for configuring the system settings, adding sites (IP cameras, mobile devices, DVRs, NVRs, and Hybrid DVRs) for viewing or recording, setting up an e-mail notification, adding paging audio files, setting up recording and notification schedules, adding and configuring notification groups, managing user accounts and licenses, importing/exporting system settings, backing up and validating the integrity of the database.

1. The SecureGuard® Configuration Tool will open and start in the Database tab. This encourages the user to set up a database backup schedule before further use. This can be very helpful in the event of an unexpected power outage or hard drive crash. If you do not wish to set up a backup schedule, uncheck the box next to Scheduled Backup. If you try going to another tab while the box is still checked, a message will pop-up informing you about the database backup feature and what has not been set (schedule, backup directory, or both) See Image 1 and Image 2.

2. If you do choose to set up a backup schedule, first choose the location where you would like the backups to be located by clicking “Browse”. It is STRONGLY recommended that you store backups on a separate disk. If you choose to store your backups on the same disk as the database, a warning message will pop up confirming this decision. See Image 3 and Image 4.
