Your license information is included in the license update email that we sent you. This email includes links to the download package and other license information. To get the required licenses, see License options for an RSA Surveillance integration.
6	In Security Center, create a georeferenced map.	Creating maps. Creating maps by connecting to a GIS. Georeferencing a map image. Supported map objects.
7	If you have video surveillance cameras, make sure that the Omnicast™ features are enabled, and that all cameras are added to Security Center and are functioning as required.	Turning features on and off. Preparing to deploy your video surveillance system.
Deploy the plugin
8	On the Security Center expansion server, download the plugin and install it.	Downloading and installing the Restricted Security Area Surveillance plugin.
9	Grant user privileges.	Required privileges. Assigning privileges to users. For a list of all available privileges, refer to the Security Center privileges spreadsheet for your version.
10	In Config Tool, create the RSA Surveillance plugin role.	Creating the Restricted Security Area Surveillance plugin role.
11	Schedule regular cleaning and backing up of the plugin database.	Scheduling database backups for the RSA Surveillance plugin.
12	From the plugin role, configure the connection settings for RabbitMQ.	Connecting the RSA Surveillance plugin to Security Center clients.
13	Create the alarms that you want to receive when intrusions are detected.	List of custom events included in the RSA Surveillance plugin. Creating alarms.
14	Perform optional plugin configurations.	Defining the maximum number of RSA targets on maps. Defining the retention period of RSA target data. Configuring activity behavior for RSA targets. Changing the default icons for RSA targets. Configuring threat categories for RSA targets. Configuring the RSA PTZ control user. Configuring automatic zoom onto RSA targets. Enabling automatic fusion of RSA targets.
15	Set up Genetec Mission Control™ and the Restricted Security Area Surveillance plugin so that operators can use the Incident Manager task to monitor and manage intrusions detected in RSA zones.	Configuring automatic acknowledgment of RSA Surveillance incidents. Configuring incident triggers for RSA Surveillance targets in Genetec Mission Control™. Managing RSA intrusion incidents.
Configure your tracking system and devices for integration
16	Make sure that your devices and software are compatible with the plugin. As a minimum, the Restricted Security Area Surveillance plugin requires Security Center 5.8.	Supported plugins in Security Center.
17	Make sure that your tracking system and devices are operating as expected.	Refer to the manufacturer documentation for your device.
18	Prepare your tracking system and devices for integration with Security Center.	Refer to the RSA Surveillance Integration Guide corresponding to your tracking system.
19	If your network security policies require port blocking, open the ports used by the plugin and your system on your routers, switches, and IP devices.	Refer to the documentation for your IP devices.
20	Confirm that the tracking system and the plugin server are configured with the same date, time, and time zone.	Refer to your Windows help system.
Add your tracking system to Security Center
21	Verify that you have enough licenses available for the type of tracking system that you want to add.	Refer to the Licenses section on the Properties page of the RSA Surveillance plugin role. To get the required license, see License options for an RSA Surveillance integration.
22	From the plugin role, add your tracking systems and devices.	Refer to the section in this guide for your tracking system.
Configure RSA zones and RSA perimeters
23	Create RSA zones and associate them to cameras.	Creating RSA zones in Security Center. Importing RSA zones into Security Center. Defining RSA zones on Security Center maps.
24	Configure the RSA zones.	(For vertical configuration) Configuring video overlays for vertical RSA zones Configuring RSA zones to arm and disarm automatically. Configuring the behavior of RSA zones.
25	For perimeter intrusion detection systems, create RSA perimeters.	Creating RSA perimeters in Security Center.
Configure settings for monitoring restricted areas
26	Configure the plugin to use native or custom events to create RSA targets.	Triggering RSA target creations using events.
Confirm that the integration works as expected
27	Confirm that you can arm and disarm RSA zones.	Arming and disarming RSA zones from maps in Security Center.
28	Confirm that you can monitor video when a target enters an RSA zone.	Tracking targets using the RSA Surveillance plugin.
29	For perimeter intrusion detection systems, confirm that you can arm and disarm a perimeter.	Arming and disarming RSA perimeters in Security Center.
30	Confirm that you see RSA Surveillance events, and alarms in the related Security Center reports.	In Security Desk: Generate a report from the RSA investigation task. Generate a report from the RSA events task. Generate reports from the Alarm report task. If you are using Genetec Mission Control™ with the RSA Surveillance plugin, generate reports from the Incident report task.
Set up your operator workstations
31	Install the plugin on each Security Center client workstation from which you want to monitor RSA zones. NOTE: When the plugin is installed on a Security Center server but not on your Security Center client workstation, the client receives events and alarms from the tracking system, which you can view in the Monitoring task and the Event window. To see RSA zones on maps, you must install the plugin on your Security Center workstation.	Downloading and installing the Restricted Security Area Surveillance plugin.
32	In the Security Desk Monitoring task, add the Restricted Security Area Surveillance role to the Event monitoring list and enable alarm monitoring.	Selecting entities to monitor. Enabling alarm monitoring in the Monitoring task.
33	Confirm that your workstation works as expected. If it does, you have successfully completed the integration.	Do steps 27 to 30.
