What this guide helps with
This Pro guide separates exacqVision work into four evidence paths: camera-to-server ingest, server recording and storage, client-to-server access, and the approved management or upgrade path. It helps a technician prove live video, new recorded playback, schedules, disks, permissions, services, and recovery readiness instead of accepting a ping or live image as completion.
Use it when a camera works directly but fails in exacqVision, live video is present without recordings, cameras drop together, playback is missing, a client cannot reach a server, storage is unhealthy, or an upgrade, import, or migration needs a documented rollback plan.
What you will learn
- Map camera, server, recording, storage, client, and management paths as separate failure domains.
- Commission cameras with known model, driver, credentials, stream, codec, clock, and network evidence.
- Prove schedules, motion or free-run mode, disk health, retention, and fresh recorded playback.
- Use logs, timestamps, services, permissions, and network paths to isolate multi-camera and client failures.
- Prepare backup, export, upgrade, rollback, import, and migration steps before changing a working recorder.
- Document final live, playback, event, storage, and authorized-access evidence for handoff.
Built for the work in front of you
Establish the recorder baseline
Platform and version scope, architecture, identity, network interfaces, services, clocks, logs, and initial evidence.
Connect cameras
Discovery, native drivers, ONVIF and RTSP boundaries, credentials, TLS, streams, codecs, motion, and event inputs.
Prove recording
Schedules, recording modes, drive health, retention, playback, permissions, and evidence from the current time window.
Isolate failures
Single-camera, multi-camera, server, storage, client, remote-access, timestamp, and performance fault trees.
Upgrade and migrate safely
Backup, export, preflight, rollback, import, staged cutover, commissioning checklist, and pocket reference.

Take the one-page tools with you
One-Page Field Checklist
A one-page recorder and camera commissioning checklist for network, drivers, streams, recording, storage, playback, and handoff.
Quick-Reference Sheet
A one-page camera-works-directly but exacq-fails fault ladder.
Use in context. Use the exact Exacq documentation, supported-driver and firmware information, purchased license capabilities, approved operating-system guidance, and site retention requirements. Never use unverified default passwords or change production network and recording settings without authorization and rollback evidence.
