Installation
Upgrading from Avigilon Control Center 4
If you are upgrading to this version of the Avigilon Hirsch integration software, be aware
that this version of the integration is only compatible with Avigilon Control Center 5.
NOTE: To preserve all of your current integration settings, you must upgrade to Avigilon
Control Center 5 and make sure all servers in the Site can be accessed by the
integration. If a server is offline or inaccessible to the integration during the
upgrade, the integration settings for that server are lost.
It is recommended that you back up a copy of all the alarm mappings before you upgrade
the integration. For more information, see Backing Up Mapped Alarms on page 13.
NOTE: Avigilon Control Center 5 provides the ability to organize multiple servers into
Sites and share settings between servers. To use this feature effectively, you must
upgrade all servers in your Site before upgrading the integration or all of the
previous mappings may be lost.
Before you perform the integration upgrade, it is recommended that you close the
configuration application.
When you upgrade the integration, the installer will shut down the integration Windows
service. When you are asked to provide Windows credentials for connecting the
integration, use the same user account as the previous integration.
After the upgrade is complete, click Update Service in the Configuration Tool to restart
the integration. To confirm that the integration has been configured correctly, see
Configuration on page 7.
Server
1. Install the Avigilon Control Center Server software anywhere on your network.
2. Install the Velocity Server software and the Velocity SDK software on the same
server.
3. Select a Windows user account for connecting the integration to Velocity.
