Installation modes
You can run the Security Center Installer in two modes:
- Wizard mode
- The installation wizard guides you through installing Security Center using a series of
questions. There are two versions of the installer:
- Web version
- The web version downloads only the components you choose to install from the
internet. Because it downloads only the required components, this installer has a
small footprint.
To run the web installer, download SecurityCenterWebSetup.exe from the Genetec Portal and double‑click it.
At the beginning of the installation, you can create a custom installation bundle that includes only the components required for your setup. This bundle is intended to replicate the current installation on computers with the same Windows configuration.
NOTE: You must select the option to create a custom installation bundle during installation or upgrade. After the selected version is installed, you can’t re‑run the web setup to create the bundle. - Standard version
- Use the standard version if the computer isn’t connected to the internet. This
installer includes all components in a single package.
To run the standard installer, download the full installation package from the Genetec Portal, copy it to the target computer, and double‑click Setup.exe found in the root folder of the package.
- Silent mode
- The silent mode is used to run the installer from the command line, without user intervention.
Installer languages
The Security Center Installer is available in English and French, but the Security Center software can be installed in more than twenty different languages. You can select the language of the installer from within the wizard.
