Limitations

C•CURE Demand Recording

• Starting and stopping demand recording via the Software House interface is not supported in the integration. The 3VR VMS server will automatically record video during this period if there is motion or if continuous recording is enabled. Continuous recording can be enabled using the 3VR System Manager application.

Playing Exported Video

• Exported video may not always play correctly in Windows Media Player. For best performance, VLC player should be used

Event Creation

• If the “Map to 3VR Camera” event is triggered by another event, a 3VR “CCure Event” will not be created on the 3VR VMS server

Event Metadata

• CCure events in 3VR OpCenter may not always have metadata populated in the event details. The amount of metadata populated depends on the type of device that triggered the event in the Software House C•CURE 9000 system

Video Playback

• The 3VR-C•CURE 9000 video integration supports up to 64 simultaneous video streams with a system meeting the minimum system requirements listed on the following page. More cameras may be viewed if hardware that exceeds the minimum system requirements is used

• For the best video performance, video should be displayed using DirectX. This requires that the system have DirectX and a discrete graphics card installed. Video is still available in GDI but the level of performance is lower. Note that typically if you are using remote desktop to access a remote machine, the video will not run in DirectX mode

Audio Playback

• Audio playback is not currently supported in the 3VR-C•CURE 9000 integration

Minimum System Requirements

The 3VR integration has no additional hardware or software requirements beyond the minimum specifications of the Software House C•CURE 9000 system. These specifications are listed on this page.

Preparing 3VR VMS Server for C•CURE Integration

Enabling Web Services

The C•CURE integration uses 3VR’s web services feature to connect to the 3VR VisionPoint™ VMS server. Before installing the integration software, you should enable this feature on each unit that will transmit or receive data from C•CURE:

1. Launch 3VR System Manager.

2. In the Configure panel, right-click the name of the VMS server and select Start Web Services from the menu.

3. Click OK to confirm.

Creating 3VR User Account for C•CURE Integration

In Section 7.2.3 of this guide, you will need to give the C•CURE system login information for an Integrator-level 3VR user account with access to all the VMS servers you plan to use in your integration. We recommend that you create a new user for this purpose. Use the following steps to create a new user account that will be reserved for the C•CURE integration:

1. In 3VR System Manager, click the Accounts tab.

2. Click New.

3. In the New User dialog, configure the details of the new user account that will be used for the C•CURE integration:

   • First Name: enter some text for the first name, such as “C-Cure” (or leave blank)

   • Last Name: enter some text for the last name, such as “User” (or leave blank)

   • User Name: enter a descriptive user name, such as CCureIntegration

   • Password: create a password for the new user account, the retype the password

   • Role: select Integrator from the drop-down menu

   • Auto Sign Out: select Disabled from the drop-down menu

4. Verify that Expire password at a given date and time is not checked.

5. Verify the Authorized Regions and Appliances panel gives this user account access to all 3VR VMS servers that will be used in C•CURE integration.

6. Click Save to create the new user account.

Configuring NTP Server Information

The 3VR VMS server and C•CURE machine must be set to the same date and time in order for the integration to successfully correlate data from both systems. The easiest way to ensure this requirement is met is to configure both machines to sync with the same NTP (Network Time Protocol) server.

Use the following steps to configure this setting on each system:

VMS Server NTP Server Configuration

1. Launch 3VR System Manager.

2. In the Configure panel, select the name of the VMS server in the left-hand panel to view the system settings.

3. Click Common Operations, then click Date and Time Settings.

4. Click ¤ Automatically set time from a remote server.

5. Type the address of the NTP server in the NTP Server box.

6. Click Test Connection and verify that the connection to the NTP server is succesful.

7. Click Save.

8. Click OK in the Confirm Changes dialog box. System Manager will close.

C•CURE 9000 NTP Server Configuration

Consult your C•CURE 9000 documentation for assistance configuring the C•CURE system date and time settings. The C•CURE system should be set to sync with the NTP server address entered in above topic.
