To integrate PERCEPT Gateway-managed cameras into Security Center, you must install the IONODES CitySafe Connector plugin on a Security Center server. You only need to install it on a client workstation if you must use Config Tool to manage the plugin. The plugin is not needed to view camera live feeds or playback.
Before you begin
- Your server meets the recommended system requirements.
- A compatible version of Security Center is installed.
- Read the IONODES CitySafe Connector release notes on the TechDoc HUB for information about new features, known and resolved issues, and limitations.
What you should know
- Although it is possible to host the plugin role on any server, it is best practice to host that role on a dedicated expansion server for best system performance.
- The IONODES CitySafe Connector plugin can be hosted on an expansion server that is also hosting an Archiver role and is associated with the main directory. Cameras created by the IONODES CitySafe Connector plugin can be federated by any Federation host.
