To run the BriefCam server Installation wizard, right-click on the BriefcamServer_<Version number>.exe file and select Run as administrator.

If you are using the latest Windows Update and a Windows Defender alert appears, click the More info link and click Run anyway.

The installation checks for prerequisites. If anything is missing, the following screen will appear. Click Next.

In this screen, the prerequisites checked are the missing prerequisites. Click Next to install them.

Click Get Started.

Accept the terms of the license agreement and click Next.

Select the location where you want to install the BriefCam server and click Next.

The following screen will appear.

Select whether to use an existing account or create a new account.

Enter the user name and the password. The user needs to have administrator rights on the local machine. Note that special characters are not supported in the Password field.

If the user is a domain user, enter the domain name. If the user is a local user, enter a period (.).

If you selected to use an existing user, you can click Validate Existing User to check that the user credentials are valid.

For new users, you can select the Deny remote login for the BriefCam user checkbox to prevent the BriefCam user from remotely logging into the machine. If the checkbox is not checked, it will be possible to give the BriefCam user access to remote login (depending on your organization’s policies).

Click Next.

The following screen will appear.

In the Database Settings section:

1. In the BriefCam Server field, enter the host name or the IP address of the PostgreSQL database.

2. The BriefCam Database port field will be automatically populated with 5432. This needs to be the same port that was used when installing PostgreSQL.

3. In the Application User and application password fields, make sure to use the same application user and password that you defined in the PostgreSQL installer. Note that special characters are not supported for passwords.

4. Click the Test database connection button.

In the Passphrase field, you can optionally create a passphrase when installing the first server and use the same passphrase in all installers. The passphrase can include 5-20 characters. If you are installing an additional server, use the same passphrase that you created when installing the first server. If you did not create a passphrase with the first server, leave the field empty.

Click Next.

The following screen will appear.

In the BriefCam’s shared data folder field, select the location where the video files and processing artifacts will be stored. In an all-in-one installation, the automatically generated value is correct. For distributed installations, set it to the BriefCam data shared folder created during the Postgres installation.

Set the Connectivity Settings.

Check the Enable video streaming from this host checkbox if you want the Video Streaming Gateway service to be enabled on the computer where you are installing the BriefCam server.

Click Install.

Once the installation is complete, click Finish.
