Camect Configuration Guide

Introduction

This guide outlines the steps required to configure Camect devices for seamless integration with the GCXONE platform, ensuring optimal performance, security, and monitoring capabilities for your surveillance system.

Prerequisites

1. Whitelist the IP (CamectReceiver). If you don't use NXGEN OpenVPn services.
2. Local Mode is installed in operator workstations.
3. Configure the private IP address given by NXGEN in case of using NXGEN OpenVPN services.
4. Make sure the RTSP port 554 and the Http port (Control port) 443 are open.

Camect Configuration

Step 1: Login into your Camect device using the credentials needed.

Step 2: Navigate to the "Hub settings" and ensure the time zone is configured correctly.

Step 3: On "Hub Settings" Navigate to "Cameras" and make sure the RTSP is enabled.

Important: Leave "Use RTSPS, i.e. RTSP over TLS" unchecked — NXGEN does not support RTSPS yet, and enabling it can cause live view and streaming issues.

Step 4: Set-up a user for NXGEN (Local User credentials) with the permissions mentioned below:

• Live view.
• Query Cameras.
• Pan/Tilt Cameras.
• View alerts.
• View footage.
• Share cameras.
• Change operating modes.

Step 5: On "Camera Settings" navigate to "Basic" and make sure to enable "Pan/Tilt" or "Zoom" if the camera supports this functionality.

Don't forget to save the changes.

Step 6: If the camera supports "Alerts Rating" configuration, please follow these steps to set it up:

• Click on "Add Ratings".
• Choose "Thumbs down" if you dont want certain objects to trigger an alarm. For Example: bicycle, car, person etc.
• Choose "Thumbs up"if you want to trigger some certain options, such as: Amazon person, DHL person etc.
• Click on "Edit Area" to Specify your area of interest.

Don't forget to save the changes.

Step 7: Click on "Hub Settings," then navigate to "Alert" to configure alarms at the device level.

• Make sure the "Detect alerts" box is enabled.
• Configure the objects that you want to get it detected under the "Detect objects in alerts".
• Select the alerts needed on your side. Please refer to Camect document

Step 8: In the same window, click on "Add Monitoring" to add a monitoring site.

• Choose "NXGEN" as a monitoring site.

• In Case if NXGEN is not there, choose "IMMIX".

• If you couldn't find both, choose "XML over TCP".

Step 9: When you select NXGEN as a monitoring site, you will be directed to the configuration page. On this page, follow these steps:

• Set the site ID to "1", as a dummy value.
• On TCP address, add Genesis TCP address.
