Make sure that the VMS and BriefCam servers’ operating systems are synced to the same Network Time Protocol (NTP).

The following ports should be available when installing the plugin.

Port #

554, 2088, 3333, 20554…N0554, and 22088…N2088

Prior to the plugin installation, you need to add the proper VISIMAX.OCX parameter to the Windows registry.

Steps for VisiMAX 9.12

On the machine where the VMS is installed, go to the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\VisiMAX Video .
Copy the following files from the folder to your BriefCam Server machine:
- libcrypto-3.dll
- libssl-3.dll
- VISIMAX.OCX
Run Command Prompt (CMD) as an administrator. To do so, click the Start button, type cmd, and select cmd.exe from the search list on the right, followed by Run as administrator
Enter Regsvr32 <full path to the location where you put visimax.ocx> (i.e. Regsvr32 C:\VISIMAX.OCX).
A pop-up window will indicate that the registry has been added successfully. Click OK.

Steps for version 9.10

To add the VISIMAX.OCX parameter to the registry, copy the VISIMAX.OCX file to your BriefCam Server PC.
Run Command Prompt (CMD) as an administrator. To do so, click the Start button, type cmd, and select cmd.exe from the search list on the right, followed by Run as administrator.
Enter Regsvr32 <full path to the location where you put visimax.ocx> (i.e. Regsvr32 C:\VISIMAX.OCX).
A pop-up window will indicate that the registry has been added successfully. Click OK.

For additional information on how to add VISIMAX.OCX, please contact your System Integration manager or BriefCam Support.

In VisiMAX, each port on the VMS represents 16 cameras. Each VMS can contain up to 6 ports (96 cameras).

When adding a VisiMAX directory, you can have all cameras from all ports will appear on the screen in one long list.

There are two ways to do this:

By entering the address:port combination (for example 'VisimaxServer:2088'), BriefCam will connect to the VMS on that specific port, and retrieve the 16 cameras on that port.
By entering the address in a specific syntax and editing the VisimaxIntegration32.ini file as described below:
1. Enter the address in the address bar optionally followed by the pound key (#) and the number of addresses to search. Note that in this method, you are not required to specify the port in the address but only <IP>#<number of addresses>. Here are two examples:
  172.25.25.29#2 will scan both 172.25.25.29 and the next number: 172.25.25.30 and add them to the directory you create.
  10.0.0.99#10 will scan IP addresses 10.0.0.99-108
2. When a VisiMAX server has more than two ports (two instances), you need to enable additional ports in the file by uncommenting the ports (removing the semicolon) in the TCP, UDP and RTSP sections of BriefCam’s VisimaxIntegration32.ini file (located at: C:\Program Files\BriefCam\BriefCam Server\32\plugins).
  For example, if the VisiMAX server is using four ports, find ports 3 and 4 in the file and uncomment them (remove the semicolon) in all sections.
  Enabling an offline port will significantly slow down the connection process.

When fetching multiple cameras simultaneously, the fetching worker count must be set to 1, which reduces performance (parallel fetching workers only work correctly with a single camera).
Object timestamps may be offset.
The start of the original video may occasionally be incorrect.
Network interruptions on the VMS side may result in incomplete fetching due to the VMS SDK limitation.
Bounding boxes when playing the original video are not supported.
