The Wearable Camera Manager role requires a direct link to your body-worn camera
stations. To reestablish this link if your server fails, you can back up the original
configuration so it can be restored on different server.
Before you begin
Create and configure the Wearable Camera Manager role.
What you should know
This procedure makes the following assumptions about your Security Center servers:
- The Wearable Camera Manager role is hosted on a dedicated expansion server with no
other roles.
- The servers use static IP addresses, not the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP).
- The replacement expansion server must have the same certificate,
serverIdentification ID, and IP address to reestablish a link to the body-worn camera
station.
Procedure
-
Back up the Security Center server
certificate:
-
Open Server Admin
on the expansion server hosting the Wearable Camera Manager role and click
Stay on this expansion server.
-
Click the server and note the Secure communication
information.
-
From the Windows Start menu, enter Manage computer
certificates to open Certificate Manager on the local
machine.
-
In , locate the certificate used by Security Center.
-
Right-click the certificate and select .
-
In the Certificate Export Wizard, click Yes,
export the private key.
-
Choose the .PFX file format and click Next.
-
Select Password and enter a password.
Take note of the password. It is required for the recovery process.
-
Name the file and save it in a secure location.
-
Back up the Server ID:
-
Navigate to the Security Center
installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec Security Center
5.x\ConfigurationFiles on the server that runs the Wearable
Camera Manager role.
-
Open GenetecServer.gconfig and note the
serverIdentification id
.
-
Retain the
serverIdentification id
in a secure
location.
-
Back up the server IP address:
-
On the server running the Wearable Camera Manager role, start a Windows
Command Prompt.
-
Enter ipconfig.
-
Retain the IP address of the server in a secure location.
-
Back up the port:
The correct port is required when recreating the firewall rules if there is a
recovery.
-
Open Config Tool and navigate
to and select the Wearable Camera Manager role.
-
Click the Properties tab and retaif there is the port
in a secure location.
After you finish
The Wearable Camera Manager server configuration is successfully backed up.
