Genetec Update Service

You can configure the following general settings pertaining to Genetec™ Update Service (GUS).

Proxy IP or hostname with alternative addresses
Use this setting to specify a machine that has GUS installed, to act as a "Proxy". You can add multiple addresses for a single proxy.
Use Main as Proxy
With this setting, enrolled machines will use the Main GUS as a proxy and route all traffic accordingly. The Main GUS will in turn use an Internet-enabled machine as a proxy. If no such machine is available, the Main GUS will connect to the Internet directly.
NOTE: To use the Use Main as Proxy setting, ensure that the list of Main GUS addresses is properly completed so that the enrolled machines can communicate with the Main GUS.
Disable background checks (not recommended)
Select this option to prevent updates from being downloaded automatically. It will also prevent GUS, System Availability Monitor (SAM), Streamvault Control Panel, and ClearID from auto-updating.
Download folder
The location where you download the updates.
NOTE: To change this setting you must restart the GUS services (Genetec Update Service and Genetec Update Service Sidecar).
