Configuring the Recorder
The ACC ES HD Recorder can be configured through the ACC ES Administrator Web User Interface
(ACC ES Admin Web UI) that is accessible from any browser on the network. The ACC ES Admin Web UI
allows you to configure the recorder server settings, set how the server keeps time, and allows you to
remotely restart or upgrade the server. It also allows you to download the ACC Client software to the
workstation you are using to access the ACC ES Admin Web UI.
Start backing up the system settings for the recorder after you configure it. These settings include the ACC
password, and the settings for the camera connections. For more information on backing up the site and
server configurations, see the
Avigilon ACC Client User Guide
.
Throughout this section, the term device is used to identify the recorder.
