Inherit a CCS from a NVR

The feature Create CCS enables the user to add a new entry in the Camera Check Service Settings.

  1. In the navigation bar on the left, click Mediasources and Cameras.

  2. Right-click a mediasource.

    → The mediasource context menu appears.

  3. Click Create CCS.

If the user creates a new entry, the following occurs:

  • the new item’s name is taken from the selected mediasource;
  • the new item’s site is taken from the selected mediasource;
  • all cameras from the selected mediasource are marked at Check with CamCheck and added to the new item’s cameras list
  • if there is already a CCS item that is assigned to the selected mediasource's site, all cameras from the selected mediasource will be added as "checked by the existing CCS".

Select Cameras to Check in Recorder Settings

The admin can select cameras for monitoring from the recorder settings. This option is only available for selected sites. This works for G-Core and GeViScope recorders.

The cameras marked under Check with CamCheck are checked by CCS. The reference image is visible to the cameras selected for observation after saving the settings.

Save the Settings

To apply all settings, you must save them!

The settings of the CamCheck service (CCS) are stored in the database of G-SIM and the database of CCS.

After saving the settings, you will first receive the message that CCS is not available or that data is not stored in the DB of CCS.

In order to use CamCheck in Operator Console, the user right Camera check allowed must be granted (Users and Security > Users > Privileges).
