Chapter 2 Get Started

This chapter is designed to help you quickly understand and deploy the product as a guideline for

seng up and inial use.

2.1 Congure the System Capability

The system supports the conguraon of two major service capabilies: Access Control and Video.

Each service capability, once acvated, corresponds to a set of features as outlined below.

You can congure the service capability via two opons:

●

During the inial deployment and setup process.

●

On the Home page, go to System → System

Conguraon → Service Capability .

By default, both

capabilies are enabled. At least one business capability will remain operaonal. If

the only acve capability is disabled, another capability will automacally acvate to maintain

system funconality.

If access control and/or video device type in the service capability has been added in the system,

disabling the corresponding service capability is not allowed. Once the corresponding devices are

removed from the system, the service capability can then be disabled.

Only enable Video

When only enabling Video, the following features are disabled:

●

Access control and video intercom devices are not allowed to add when adding devices.

●

Access Control on the device management page, and Video Intercom.

●

The

pre-dened ShortCut for access control in the main panel for monitoring and control.

●

On the Home page, access control-related records in Alarm, Event, and Nocaons in the right

navigaon bar.

●

Chapter 5 Storage

System storage oers a comprehensive soluon for storing videos, pictures, and les on server

disks. It allows you to allocate storage space for videos and

pictures/les and congure recording

schedules for cameras, ensuring ecient and eecve storage management. In addion, you can

specify the period of keeping data (such as logs, events, records, and analysis data) on the system.

●

Video: Aer adding storage schedule of cameras, me-based and event-based recordings of

cameras will be stored in the video resource pool.

●

Picture and File: Pictures include those captured during event reporng, manual capture, alarm

linkages, etc. Files refer to audio les from video intercom.

If you are new to system storage, you can now try 30 days of free video storage for up to 4

channels. Videos, pictures, and

les will be directly stored on the HikCentral Lite server.

Note

●

The trial opportunity is only available to new users who have never used the system storage

feature (users who have already started a trial or acvated a formal license cannot start a trial

again).

●

If a trial has already been started,

acvang a formal license will keep the trial features available

unl the trial expires.

In the upper-right corner of the Desktop, click System → System Conguraon → Storage →

The video storage feature becomes available aer purchasing and acvang a formal video storage

license. You can also acvate a trial license to try this feature before purchasing a formal one.

5.2 Congure Storage Locaon and Storage Space

You should congure the storage locaon and allocate the storage space rao for video and

picture/le according to your needs.

Congure Storage Locaon

Click View Storage Locaon in the upper-right corner.

The default storage locaon is the disk with the largest space. Disk circular overwrite is enabled by

default. When the space is full, the system will overwrite the oldest les.

You can click to add and inialize addional disks.

The recommended hard drive model is as follows. If the hard drive you use is not on the

recommended list, it is strongly recommended to use an enterprise hard drive with similar

performance to ensure storage quality.

●

SSD: 1TB M.2 2230 PCIe NVMe Class 35

●

HDD: 20TB 7.2K SATA 6Gbps 3.5'', Hot-swappable

Note

●

Manually deleng les already stored on the disk or the disk going oine can result in the loss of

key informaon, such as recordings, though you will receive a system nocaon.

●

When replacing the current disk with a new one, back up your data rst. Ensure the new hard

drive has at least the same capacity as the original.

You need to disable the current logical disk and delete its associated les. Create a new drive

leer for the storage locaon and verify that it works normally.

●

Do not modify the drive

leer in the operang system, as it may cause anomalies.

Note

If you upgrade from HikCentral Lite V1.0.1:

●

The processing logic for the storage space of pictures and les aer the upgrade is the same as

before the upgrade. For example, if the quota for pictures and les in HikCentral Lite is 120 GB,

there will be a total of 120 GB storage space for pictures and

les aer the upgrade.

●

When space is

insucient, the space for pictures and les, as well as the total space is calculated

based on the remaining disk capacity, not the actual used capacity.

conguraon, including port name, LAN port, WAN port, protocol, etc.

Note

When changes to the LAN port occur, it is necessary to adjust the port mapping conguraon on

the router correspondingly.

Congure NIC Sengs

You can select the NIC of the current Server (SYS NIC) for receiving the alarm informaon of the

device connected via ONVIF protocol, and performing live view and playback for the devices

connected via ISUP, as well as the system storage NIC for the data transmission for the storage of

video, pictures, and

les.

Reset Network Info

When system network domain changes (such as server migraon), you must reset the network

informaon of the added device to adapt to the new network environment. Otherwise the live

view or playback will be

aected.

Go to Reset Network Informaon → Reset .

10.4 Use SSL/TLS

Cercate for HTTPS Connecons

As a digital cercate issued by the Cercate Authority (CA), the SSL/TLS cercate secures all

types of

informaon transferred to and from the server and proves the identy of the server

owner. Compared with the plaorm provided cercate, the SSL/TLS cercate has a higher

security level.

Get Your SSL/TLS

Cercate

Note

The SSL/TLS cercate is purchased from a cercate authority.

1. Choose a CA that you trust.

2. Generate a

cercate signing request (CSR) and a private key.

HikCentral Lite V1.1.1 User Manual

134

There are mulple methods to generate a CSR and a private key: via Microso IIS, OpenSSL, or a

trusted website.

3. Send the generated CSR to the CA to get the authorized SSL/TLS cercate.

Figure 10-3 SSL/TLS Cercate Example

4. Download your SSL/TLS cercate to your local PC.

Make sure that the cercate is in PEM format. You can try to edit the le extension to .pem or

use a tool to convert its format to PEM.

Upload Your SSL/TLS

Cercate to the System

1. Check your SSL/TLS cercate.

Generally, the issued SSL/TLS cercate contains the cercate le in PEM format, cercate

chain in PEM format, and cercate le in other formats (such as CRT and PLCS-7).

2. Get the cercate le in PEM format, the private key which is generated together with the CSR,

and the

cercate chain in PEM format. And concatenate them into one PEM le in order.

You can use the CertTool provided by Hikvision to concatenate a cercate. (Tool download

address: hps://www.hikvision.com/en/support/download/soware/hikcentral-professional-

v2-6-0/ .)

Note

The PEM le encoding method should be UTF-8.

The order of contents in the PEM le should be cercate le -> private key -> cercate

chain.

The invalid or incomplete cercate chain of operang system will result in SSL/TLS cercate

vericaon failure. In this case, users can download the cercate chain, convert it to CRT

format, and double-click to install it on their PCs.

10.5 Congure Service Component Cercate

For data security, before adding the Streaming Server, you should generate the service component

cercate stored in the Server and input the cercate informaon to the Streaming Server you

want to add, so that the

cercates of the Streaming Server and the Server are the same.

On the Home page, go to System → System Conguraon → Security → Service Component

Appendix B. Product Usage Restricons: Scenarios &

Guidelines

This topic provides restricted scenarios for the system to help users avoid unintended misuse. It

serves as a quick reference for verifying

permied acvies across specic use cases.

System

●

When you run the client as Administrator, imporng data into the system may fail.

●

Microso Oce shall be installed in order to view exported excel les.

●

Do not drag the client across screens with varying DPI sengs, as this may result in unintended

UI scaling issues.

●

Make sure the available disk space is no less than 10 GB to avoid the installaon failure of the

Server.

Device Management

●

Cameras containing special characters including \ / : * ? " < > | in their names cannot be

imported.

●

For ISUP devices performing FTP-based

rmware upgrades, the maximum supported path length

for upgrade packages is limited to 32 bytes.

●

Be careful to remove

informaon imported from iVMS-4200, because informaon removed from

the system cannot be imported again.

eding device password on the Web page, stop live view and playback on all clients, and

change the password on the device list as quickly as possible. Try to change device password via

the system instead of the Web page.

Video Monitoring

●

When using acusearch / object search, if an incorrect prompt pops up, you can check whether

this

funcon is enabled on the device conguraon page.

●

Do not arbitrarily modify whether the device's stream is encrypted or the specic encrypon

keys.

●

Do not use smooth stream and stream encrypon simultaneously.

●

For devices

congured with dual-stream recording schedule, main stream will be used when

playing videos.

●

Starng recording manually is not supported during live view via smooth stream.

●

Live view via smooth stream is not supported for devices added by Hikvision ISUP Protocol.

●

Live view is not supported on the remote

conguraon page of Bi-spectrum Thermography

●

When DS-7616NXI-K2/16P series NVRs is connected to the plaorm with DST enabled, recording

retrieval inaccuracies may occur during DST

transion periods (when entering/exing DST), and

HikCentral Lite V1.1.1 User Manual

147

meline jumps might appear during playback due to local me adjustments (e.g., clock shis

forward/backward by 1 hour).

●

If connected devices do not support UTC me, when using search funconalies (AcuSeek/

video retrieval / Smart Search / all searches via NVR) during Daylight Saving Time (DST)

transions, the system cannot disnguish duplicate me periods (e.g., 01:30 appearing twice

when DST ends). All search results will display local device

me without UTC oset adjustments.

For real-me events & alarms (Alarm Log Retrieval) based on devices without UTC support,

duplicate mestamps may appear during DST exit periods (e.g., two entries showing "01:30").

●

For live view and playback via Axis and Hanwha devices, make sure you have selected H.264 as

the encoding format.

●

Reverse playback of videos stored in Axis, Dahua, or Hanwha devices is not supported.

●

No more than 12 views supports synchronized playback simultaneously.

●

To enlarge a

sheye-expanded image, double-click the image before enabling Fisheye Expansion.

●

that support all video formats is recommended.

Access Control and Video Intercom

●

When imporng the zip le of prole pictures, make sure the system language of the PC

compressing prole pictures is the same with the system language of the Server.

●

Two-way audio is not supported by access control devices or video intercom devices added by

Hikvision ISUP Protocol even if the devices have the capability of two-way audio.

System Storage

●

Up to 128 cameras are supported for video storage.

●

Only pictures and

les can be stored in the system if the video storage license is not acvated.

●

Ensure that each disk has at least 34 GB of available space; otherwise, it will not be usable for

system storage.

●

Inializaon of the disk uses 90% of the remaining disk space.

●

Since videos, pictures, and les are stored on the system disk, system hibernaon or sleep can

result in the disk losing power,

potenally causing storage excepons. It is recommended to turn

o hibernaon or sleep mode.

●

The minimum space required for each

le type is 4 GB (for example, 4 GB for videos, 4 GB for

pictures, and 4 GB for les), which includes necessary les for storage management.

●

Auto-Copyback is

eecve only when the stream type is set to main stream and is supported

only by Hikvision cameras.
