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 a 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
.
-
Keep the
serverIdentification id
in a safe place.
-
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 keep the port number in a
safe place.
After you finish
The Wearable Camera Manager server configuration is successfully backed up.
