NUUO CMS Installation & Setup

NUUO CMS Installation & Setup 
  Here I will try to summerize my experience with the new NUUO CMS installation and setup. I installed it in our lab on 2 different subnets.

I downloaded trial version of Software. Make sure computers meet system requirement. Here are the components of CMS:

NCS System:
All components of NUUO Central Management system.

Main Console:
Front end servers of the NUUO Central Management system, consisting of NUUO NVR/NDVR/DVR Main Console systems which send events to NCS Alarm Server.

SQL Server:
Database of NUUO Central Management system, which backs up alarm logs.

NCS Alarm Server:
Alarm Server of NUUO Central Management system, which filters events in order to send out alarms, and saves configuration of NCS system. Abbreviate NCS Server or Alarm Server.

NCS Client:
Client end software of NUUO Central Management system, which is used to log in to the Alarm Server.

NCS Matrix:
Video Matrix to view live video, controlled by NCS Client.

System requirement: MS Windows XP Pro SP2 / 2003, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6660 @ 2400MHz, 2 GB RAM, 250GB HDD, ATi X1600 or above, nVIDIA GeForce 7000series or above Graphics, 100/1000 LAN.

I installed all components on one server following their order on 1st screen and made it work and accepted defaults. The Matrix
server was tricky to work.

Start "CMS", "live Streaming" server, "Remote Playback", and "Remote Desktop" on the Main Console, select "Guard" configure alarm and send it to CMS.

Next, Configure SQL by selecting Protocols for CMALARMLOG, right-click TCP/IP and then select Enable, Double-click TCP/IP and select the IP Addresses tab. Enter 1433 as the TCP port in IP1, IP2, and IPAll, and then click OK. Now restart SQL.

Open "NCS Alarm Server", connect it to SQL server and make sure it's started in the "Main" tab. Leave it running in the Task Bar.

Open NCS Client and put the IP address of NCS server. Default username is Admin, password is blank. I will explain more later.

Finally, there are 2 Matix systems. One is the server that needs to be open before you execute Client Matrix.

The NCS client has several screens to configure. Configure your default server, Matrix server and alarms. The System Control window includes Server, Config, Matrix, and MapView sub-windows.

When you add a Matrix server, you should load cameras to it and right click on it to select synchronize. Refer to manual for more.
