By default, the default configuration is not loaded when the server is started to prevent changes made due to overwriting after a start. After a migration, the default configuration is always loaded. You can configure whether the default configuration is to be adopted when the server starts.

  1. In the menu bar, select Window > Preferences.
  1. Select Siveillance Control > Server Settings.
  1. You can specify the following parameters:
  • During Server Startup: Specify whether or not to import the default configuration during server startup.
  • Data Backup Directory: Specify the path to store data backups. The default path is: /usr/share/viewpoint/localhost/backups.
  • Offset for Bookmark of Recorded Video (in Seconds): Set the offset time to bookmark the recorded video. This will act as evidence of when the incident started. The default value is 180 sec.
  • Select Alarm Monitor Layout: Select the same layout that you have selected in the VMS video client for the alarm monitor.
