2Installation
Before powering on the exacqVision server, complete the following steps:
1. Mounting and operating environment requirements
a. Mount the exacqVision server in a dust-free, climate-controlled (<70o F, <40% non-condensing) location. Dust
causes component overheating. Elevated temperatures contribute to premature hard drive failures.
b. If using outdoor cameras, the exacqVision server must have a permanent connection to earth
ground. Use a wire 18AWG or larger to make the connection, and use the grounding screw labeled
with this icon near the power connector.
c. All outdoor cameras must have a suitable surge suppressor between the camera and recorder.
2. Electrical environment requirements
a. Connect the exacqVision server to a true online UPS for maximum reliability. A true online UPS completely filters
power surges and dips that can damage the server.
b. Connect the exacqVision server’s main network interface to the company network or network with Internet
access.
c. Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the server.
d. Power the server on
The exacqVision system will automatically log in to the user account and launch the exacqVision client. If required, log in to the
administrator account. Default credentials for this account are: admin/admin256.
3Client/Server Connection
With the exacqVision client open, complete the following steps:
1. In the system configuration tree navigate to Configure System | Network tab
a. If the server is installed on a network using static IP addressing, select Static, enter the appropriate IP address and
settings, and click Apply.
b. If the server is installed on a network using DHCP select Dynamic and click Apply. After a brief delay, all four
parameter boxes should auto-fill with network settings. If not, contact your network administrator.
2. If the server will be configured via a remote client machine download and install the latest client application software (7.4
or later) before proceeding. https://exacq.com/support/downloads.php Once installed:
a. Launch the exacqVision Client application.
b. Select the Config (Setup) page button
c. In the configuration tree, select Add System
d. Click New and enter the IP address or hostname of the exacqVision server, username (default =admin), password
(default=admin256), and select connection speed (Remote, WAN, LAN, Local). Then click Apply
e. Verify the server appears in the list with a status of Connected.
f. If the server does NOT connect, but server connectivity can be confirmed then check for anti-virus software on the
remote client machine that may be blocking communications with the server IP addresses and ports.
g. Change the default operating system and exacqVision admin and user account passwords:
See www.exacq.com/kb for instructions on changing the operating system password on exacqVision servers.
See Ch. 4 of the exacqVision user manual for instructions on changing exacqVision admin and user passwords.

4Camera Connections
EasyConnect Cameras
EasyConnect automatically discovers, addresses and configures most DHCP enabled cameras.
1. Ensure the cameras are in the factory default state that normally enables DHCP addressing.
2. In the System configuration tree navigate to the Configure System | PoE Ports
3. Plug cameras into the rear panel of the exacqVision Una system.
4. Monitor each port as the camera is automatically configured and connected. (This procedure can take up to 6 minutes.)
5. When port color turns green, the camera is ready.
Gray = Camera not connected
Yellow = Camera discovery, port scanning, or no camera detected
Green = Camera connected
Red = Camera no longer streaming video, invalid username or password, or requires further configuration
