Specifying Surveillance System Servers
By specifying which surveillance system server(s) XProtect Analytics should connect to, you
automatically give XProtect Analytics information about the cameras connected to the surveillance
system server(s).
Once XProtect Analytics has this information, you are subsequently able to specify the VCA
connections (see page 21) which define the exact analytics configuration for each camera you are
going to use.
To specify a surveillance system server, do the following.
1. In the Administrator application, right-click the Servers folder, and select Add Server.
Tip: Alternatively, press ALT+F1 on your keyboard.
2. Now you are able to specify information about the required surveillance system server.
 Server: Specify the address of the required surveillance system server. You can
specify the address as an IP address (example: http://123.123.123.123) or as a
hostname (example: http://ourserver).
Tip: If XProtect Analytics is installed on the same physical computer as the
required surveillance system server, you can simply type the hostname
http://localhost.
If connecting to an XProtect Enterprise or XProtect Professional surveillance system
server, XProtect Analytics assumes that the server should be contacted using the
default port number (80) of the Image Server service (the service providing video
streams to other applications). If the Image Server service does not use port 80, it
is important that you specify the required port number immediately after the server
