1. Introduction
This project Video surveillance system (VSS) implementation to protect the sub city’s building,
parking and perimeter Areas. The aim of this document is used for a reference guide for system
installation, configuration and maintenance during trouble.
2. System architecture of Video surveillance system

IP VSS is a security surveillance system or remote monitoring system that allows recording and
viewing over an IP network. IP Surveillance uses an IP Network as the backbone of the system to
transfer video footage over wired or wireless media.

• Performance priority: To guarantee external IO task’s performance, internal IO task

is totally stopped.
• Protection priority: To guarantee internal IO task’s performance, external IO task
would only take the rest channel.
• Balance: When both internal and external IO task exist, Balance ensures internal IO
task occupy certain channel without influencing external IO task.
• Intelligent: Without external IO task, array is initialized in the highest speed. Or array
is initialized in the lowest speed.
If RAID level is RAID 0, I/O priority isn’t available.
6. Select the Available disks to create RAID. Or select Available arrays to create RAID. Or
select the combination of Available disks and Available arrays.
• Only enterprise disks are listed in Available disks list.

• In order to increase the performance of created RAID, it is recommended to use disks

Step 9 A new disk will be listed. Initialize the new disk.
5.2.3 Network Configuration

Storage system provides one Management NIC (Network Interface Card) and two Data NICs.
The Management NIC is designed for configuring the Data NIC and device maintenance. The
Data NICs are used to transmit data.
Step:
Click System in navigation bar and choose Network to enter Network interface.
Modifying Data NIC
Steps:
1. Check the checkbox of data NIC to modify in NIC Information list.
2. Click Modify in NIC Information list.
3. Enter the new IP Address and Subnet Mask and select MTU in dropdown list.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit): Select MTU as larger than 1500 byte for the purpose of
improving transmission performance.
4. Click OK to save the settings.
NIC Bond
When transmitting data via a single data NIC, once the data NIC fails, data transmission
stops. By bonding multiple data NICs into one, they can share one IP address, thus to balance
network load and create redundant links. When transmitting data via a bonded NIC, once a
data NIC fails, other data NICs take over the transmission task.
• The management NIC doesn’t support bond.

• The IP address of bonded NIC is the same as the first data NIC.
15 | P a g e
Before you start:
Connect all data NICs to network via network cables.
Creating Bond
Steps:
1. Check the checkboxes of Data NICs in NIC Information list.

2. Click create a bond and click OK in confirmation dialog box. The bonded NIC is
listed in Bonded NIC information list.
Adding Route
By default, the route is empty, clients in different network segment access storage system via
the default gateway.
If you want to access storage system via a specified gateway, add route here.
Steps:
1. Click in Custom Route Information list.

2. Input Route IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
The client server within Route IP address can access storage system via the Default
Gateway.
3. Select Bonded Data NIC in the dropdown list.
4. Click OK to add the route. Thus the client server within 10.128.50.1 to 10.128.50.55
can access storage system via the bonded NIC 1 whose the gateway is 192.168.0.2.
5.2.4 Time Settings

Set time zone, NTP, and DST for the added storage system.
Step 1 Go to System > Time Management.
Step 2 Set Time Zone, Time Server IP Address, and DST as your desires. Time server IP
address should be the IP address of the central server.
Step 3 Click Save to save the settings.
5.3 Server
Consult your IT system administrator if in doubt about your rights.
If you access the HikCentral via HikCentral All-In-One Server, you can log in to the
operating system with the following default administrator user name and password at the fast
boot.
• Default User Name: Administrator
• Default Password: Abc12345
