Server components. You must install the client components on every
computer that runs CCURE 9000 client applications, and you must install the
Server components on the CCURE 9000 server computer. It is recommended
that VideoEdge 4.0 Integration client has at least 4GB memory and enables
3GB model.
Table 2-1 on page 2-2 lists the steps to install and register the CCURE 9000
VideoEdge 4.0 Integration on each computer in your CCURE 9000 system.

Installation Overview
CCURE9000 VideoEdge 4.0 Integration User Guide 23
Before You Begin
You may need to perform some pre-installation steps before you install the
CCURE 9000 VideoEdge 4.0 Integration.
Checking Networks Status
If you are installing CCURE 9000 on a corporate network, be sure to
coordinate with your corporate network administrator. Check that the
network is working properly.
Checking System Privileges
To perform the installation, you must have appropriate Windows
permissions. You must be in the local Administrators group, or have
equivalent privileges. See the Microsoft Operating System documentation or
your system administrator for more information.
If you do not have sufficient permissions, the error message is displayed as
shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-3
Figure 2-1: Privileges Error Message
Database Installation
If you are installing server components of the CCURE 9000 VideoEdge 4.0
Integration, the CCURE 9000 VideoEdge 4.0 Integration adds some tables to
the CCURE 9000 database. Currently, the CCURE 9000 VideoEdge 4.0
Integration does not support installation with CCURE 9000 on an Oracle
Database. Therefore, you must install on a CCURE 9000 system that is using
SQL Server. The CCURE 9000 VideoEdge 4.0 Integration install program
automatically finds the CCURE 9000 database and adds tables and initial
data to it.

It is recommended that VideoEdge 4.0 Integration client has at least 4GB
memory and enables 3GB model in 32 bit OS system. Otherwise, It may
prompt the error message about out of memory, and then close the CCURE
9000 Administration Workstation.
VideoEdge 4.0 Integration request a good network environment, since video
streaming requires high bandwidth.
VideoEdge 4.0 Integration client features have not been fully qualified on
Window2008.
View requests a lot of resources (memory and display card), so you cannot
open too many views at the same time (even the view in tour). It is
recommended to open fewer than at the same time. Otherwise, it may
report one D3D error.
It will take a few seconds to open a view for the first time, but subsequent
viewings will load faster.
In a live view with audio enabled, click the "reconnect" button will
deactivate the audio. Click the "audio" button again to stream audio.
In maps, the VideoEdge 4.0 server icon will only change to reflect the
online, offline, unknown states.
The 1x5 and 2x8 views may open slowly.
When you add a VideoEdge 4.0 Camera into a view, only the VideoEdge
4.0 server name and VideoEdge4.0 camera name will be displayed. No
video will stream in the camera preview window.
Video clips are exported in Native format .ISO, which includes MP4 files.
You can open MP4 files to play recorded videos.
In the 1x5 and 2x8 views, if you only add VideoEdge 4.0 cameras in these
views, when you click button, it always pops up the first camera
viewer.
