Windows Update.

Next stepsReturn to the “Server pre-installation checklist”.



Synchronizing the date and time on the servers

AttentionYou do not need to complete this procedure if the Database Server belongs to aWindows 2003 domain, because time synchronization is already configured.

This task describes how to synchronize the date and time on the servers. The datesand time must be synchronized to ensure that all dates and/or times associated withevents in the database are consistent between servers.

Synchronizing the date and time involves selecting and setting up a “preferred timesource server”, and then configuring every other server so that it synchronizes withthat server.

If you are using Honeywell DVM in conjunction with EBI, Experion or HSS, werecommend that you use the EBI, Experion or HSS server as the preferred timesource server.

If you have a stand-alone Honeywell DVM system (without EBI, Experion or HSS),your preferred time source server can be the preferred Database Server, the backupDatabase Server or another network time source.

To set up an EBI, Experion or HSS server as preferred time source server1 On the preferred time source server, choose Start > Run and run

settimesource.vbs, which is located in the server\run folder. This program issilent if successful.

2 Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools >Services.

3 Right-click Windows Time service and select Properties.4 Set the Startup type to Automatic.5 If the Windows Time service is running, stop and restart it.

To set up a Database Server or network time source as preferred time source server1 Choose Start > Programs > Settings > Command Prompt to open a

Command Prompt window.2 At the command prompt, type net time /setsntp: server_name and press

ENTER.where server_name is the name of your preferred time source server.

3 Close the Command Prompt window when the command has run.


17



To synchronize the time on the other servers1 On the other servers, open a Command Prompt window and type:

net time /setsntp:preferredtimesource

where preferredtimesource is the machine name of the preferred time sourceserver.



Next steps• If you are installing Honeywell DVM a server, return to the “Server pre-

installation checklist”

Honeywell DVM and Honeywell Intelligent Video Analyticsintegration

If you want to use Honeywell Intelligent Video Analytics (HVA) algorithms onHoneywell DVM cameras, you will have to install the HVA Server and clientapplication. We recommend that you install the HVA Server and client before youinstall the Honeywell DVM Video Analytics Server.

HVA Server installation informationA single HVA Server can support multiple HVA algorithms. For example, if youwant to enable HVA premium algorithm on one camera and HVA base algorithm onanother camera, you only need to install one HVA Server and use this HVA Serverfor both cameras. For information about installation of the HVA Server, see the HVAInstallation Guide.Honeywell DVM is able to support multiple HVA Servers. You need multiple HVAServers if the number of HVA algorithm enabled cameras exceeds the processinglimit of a single HVA Server. For more information on the number of cameras yourHVA Server can support see the HVA Installation Guide.

HVA client installation informationYou should install the HVA client after the HVA Server has been installed. For moreinformation on installing the HVA client, see the HVA Installation Guide.

The Honeywell DVM installation account

We recommend that you create a Windows user account to use as a specializedinstallation account. This account is necessary to install any Honeywell DVMcomponent on any computer, and in this guide it is referred to as the “HoneywellDVM installation account”.

An alternative to creating a new Windows account is to use an existing account withadministrator privileges.

AttentionNote that the Honeywell DVM installation account is only required during installation.If your organization’s security policies do not approve of this account remaining in thesystem, you can remove it once the installation tasks have been completed. If this is thecase, you may also need to remove the equivalent DVM user account which isgenerated for the installing account during the installation.

Using a new account as the Honeywell DVM installation accountWhen you create a new Windows user account for the Honeywell DVM installationaccount:

• Ensure that the password for the account is the same on all computers.

• Ensure that the account has administrator privileges on all computers.

• If you have EBI, Experion or HSS, assign the account to theHoneywell Administrators group. (Note that this is a local group, that exists onEBI, Experion or HSS servers and Console Stations.)

• If the installation account that will be used to install the Camera Servers andIntegration Components is different to the account used to install the DatabaseServer, you need to add this account to the DVM_Database group on theDatabase Server before you install the Camera Server or IntegrationComponents.

Using an existing account as the Honeywell DVM installation account with domainsecurityIf you use domain security, you can configure a domain administrator account as theHoneywell DVM installation account provided that:

• All the computers are part of the domain and the domain administrator accounthas local administrator privileges.



• If you have EBI, Experion or HSS, you assign the account to theHoneywell Administrators group. (Note that this is a local group, that exists onEBI, Experion or HSS servers and Console Stations.)


Using an existing account as the Honeywell DVM installation account without domainsecurityIf you do not use domain security, you can configure the default Administratoraccount on every computer as the Honeywell DVM installation account. You can dothis provided that:

• The password for the account is the same on all computers.

• If you have EBI, Experion or HSS, you assign the account to theHoneywell Administrators group. (Note that this is a local group, that exists onEBI, Experion or HSS servers and Console Stations.)

Adding areas to Honeywell DVMAccess to devices and components in the Honeywell DVM system is restrictedbased on an area security model. Each camera, view and I/O device in HoneywellDVM will be assigned to an area. A user who is given access to a particular area canaccess any resource also assigned to that area. A user cannot view a camera, view orI/O device which is assigned to an area that they do not also have access to.

If Honeywell DVM is integrated with an EBI, Experion or HSS system, thenHoneywell DVM will use the areas configured for EBI, Experion or HSS users whoaccess Honeywell DVM.

AttentionBefore EBI, Experion or HSS areas become available in Honeywell DVM, those areasmust be assigned to an EBI, Experion or HSS user and that user must access HoneywellDVM through a Station client.

In a Honeywell DVM system not integrated with EBI, Experion or HSS, or in certainsituations in an integrated system, it is necessary to create areas which are onlyaccessible to Internet Explorer users.

Prerequisites• You must have MNGR level security to perform these tasks.

To create an area1 Navigate to the Honeywell DVM pages.2 In the Navigation Pane, click Administation > Areas.3 Click Add.4 On the Details tab in the Area box, type the name of the area you are creating.5 Click Save.

Performing a silent install of Honeywell DVM servercomponents

This procedure can be used to install all the Honeywell DVM:


• Camera Servers


• Integration Components

This procedure can be performed on both redundant and stand-alone HoneywellDVM systems.

AttentionIf the silent install fails because a parameter in the configuration file has beenincorrectly defined, the InstallShield Wizard will prompt you for the missing orincorrect information before continuing. If this should occur, you should complete theinstallation using the “Installing Honeywell DVM servers” or “Installing theHoneywell DVM Integration Components on the EBI, Experion or HSS server” taskfrom the step where the silent install failed.

Prerequisites• You have a Honeywell DVM DVD.

• You have the Honeywell DVM licence information.

• You know the name of the Database Server. (If you have redundant DatabaseServers, you know the name of the preferred Database Server.)





• You have ensured that the folders where the clips are to be stored or archived areon drives that have been formatted as NTFS, not FAT.

AttentionIf the default folders where clips are to be stored or archived are not formatted as NTFS,the Honeywell DVM installation will not proceed.

Internationalizing the Honeywell DVM tables

You can internationalize Honeywell DVM for multiple languages within the oneHoneywell DVM system.

To internationalize Honeywell DVM1 Install the appropriate Microsoft Language Packs on both the Honeywell DVM

Database Servers and clients.a On each Honeywell DVM client install the Microsoft language pack for the

language you wish to use for that client with Honeywell DVM.b On the Honeywell DVM Database Server install all Microsoft language

packs that are in use on any of your Honeywell DVM Clients.For example, if some Honeywell DVM clients use Japanese with theJapanese language pack installed and some use Chinese with the Chineselanguage pack installed, you need to install both the Japanese and Chineselanguage packs on the Honeywell DVM Database Server so that it cancorrectly internationalize the text for each client.

2 Translate the internationalization (I18N) tables in the Honeywell DVM.3 Restart Internet Information Services (IIS) so that the changes to the

internationalization tables can take effect.4 Restart or refresh all Honeywell DVM clients.

INTERNATIONALIZING A HONEYWELL DVM SYSTEM


Translating the Honeywell DVM database tables

The following table summarizes the procedures for internationalizing theHoneywell DVM database tables.

AttentionWe recommend that you perform a separate export and import for each locale ID, that is,you need to perform the following sequence of steps separately for each locale ID.

For information on Go to:Export the internationalization (I18N) tablesfrom SQL Server Management Studio to anExcel spreadsheet.

“Exporting the I18N tables” on page 119

Internationalize the database tables bychanging the locale ID and translating thetext strings in the spreadsheet.

“Internationalizing the database tables” onpage 121

Import the internationalized data back intothe Honeywell DVM database.

Internationalizing the database tables

When translating text strings note that:

• If the text string contains %, you must leave the % character in the text string (forexample, %1, %2). Strings with % are known as parameterized strings: the %placeholder is filled in at runtime with dynamic information, such as the name ofa camera or the name of a server.

• As there is limited space on the Honeywell DVM user interface you need toensure that the translated text strings fit into the space available.

The following tables can be internationalized:

• tblI18NLabels—contains text strings that appear in the Honeywell DVM userinterface.

• tblI18NErrors—contains text strings used in Honeywell DVM error messages.

• tblI18NComboBoxes—contains text strings displayed in Honeywell DVM combobox selections.

• tblI18NAuditLog—contains text strings that appear in an exported audit logreport.

• tblI18NAlarmIntegration—contains text strings used for Honeywell DVMalarms.

• tblI18NConfiguration—is used to configure the fonts and font sizes forActiveX controls on the web pages.

Removing a locale from the Honeywell DVM database

You can clear a particular locale ID from the Honeywell DVM database by running ascript as a query in SQL Server Management studio.

To remove a locale from the Honeywell DVM database1 Open SQL Server Management Studio.2 Click on the Honeywell DVM Database to select it.3 Click New Query.4 Copy and paste the following script into the Query pane:

use DVM delete tbli18nLabels where localeid=<localeidtoremove>delete tbli18nErrors where localeid=<localeidtoremove>delete tbli18nAuditlog where localeid=<localeidtoremove>delete tbli18nComboboxes where localeid=<localeidtoremove>

replacing the <localeidtoremove> with the locale ID you wish to remove.5 Click Execute to run the script.

Example (where locale ID is 1041, that is, Japan)The following script removes all Japanese language rows.

use DVMdelete tbli18nLabels where localeid=1041delete tbli18nErrors where localeid=1041delete tbli18nAuditlog where localeid=1041delete tbli18nComboboxes where localeid=1041



Upgrading an internationalized Honeywell DVM system

If you are upgrading, you can use either the SQL Server Management Studio or youcan follow the procedures in “Internationalizing the Honeywell DVM tables”.

Using SQL Server Management Studio you can add or modify additional rows forany new text needing internationalization directly in the Honeywell DVM I18Ndatabase tables. When you upgrade a Honeywell DVM installation that has alreadybeen internationalized, the internationalized text strings are upgraded wherepossible. For each of your locales, you should check that each row in each table hasbeen translated and then translate any new rows.

Where new text strings have been added to the latest version of Honeywell DVM,the installation process inserts the appropriate rows into the I18N table for eachLocale ID, but the display text will still be shown in English.

If you choose to follow the “Internationalizing the Honeywell DVM tables”procedure, make sure that the same text row is not added more than once.

Digital signatures disclaimerHoneywell DVM R400.2 provides the ability to digitally sign exported video andaudit logs to help verify that the files have not been tampered with after export. Themain use for these digitally signed files is use as evidence in court.

A digital signature is not a requirement for submitting digital video as evidence andhaving a digital signature will not automatically guarantee that a court will acceptthe signed video as evidence.

The default signature provided with Honeywell DVM will provide the court with anassurance that the video and associated audit log has not been altered in any wayafter it was exported. The use of a third-party signature will provide the sameguarantee of authenticity as the default signature, however, as the signature will beunique to one DVM system, a third-party signature can also provide a guarantee oforigin—the video and audit log can only have come from that one system. Both of

these may cause the court to assign more weight to the evidence if they accept it butwill in no way guarantee that the evidence will be accepted, as acceptance ofevidence is always a matter for the court to decide.

A detailed description of the legal rules of evidence is beyond the scope of thismanual and any commentary here may not be applicable to your local legal system.If you require further advice on the use of video as evidence, please contact yourlocal Honeywell representative or seek advice from a legal professional.
