Installation and Configuration

Setting Up a Wisenet WAVE User

You need to create a Wisenet WAVE user that you will use when setting up the integration between BriefCam and Wisenet WAVE (in the Setting Up BriefCam to Integrate with Wisenet WAVE section below).

  1. Log into the Wisenet WAVE client as an admin user.

  2. Navigate to the User Management panel.

  4. Fill in the Name, Email, and Password fields.

  5. In the Role dropdown menu, select Viewer, Advanced Viewer, or any custom role that has the necessary permissions. It is recommended not to use the Live Viewer role, because this role only has permissions for camera livestreams, and not for video fetching.

  6. Enable digest authentication for the newly created user as follows:

    1. In the bottom left of the New User… panel, next to the Enabled toggle button, click on the three vertical dots.

    2. Click on the Allow digest authentication for this user pop-up message.

    3. Set the user password again (can be the same as before):

Sending Alerts and Video Fetching

To enable the sending of alerts from BriefCam to Wisenet WAVE:

  1. Open the BriefCam.WaveIntegration.ini file, which by default is located at: C:\Program Files\BriefCam\BriefCam Server\plugins.

  2. Change the value of the SendAlerts parameter to true and remove the semicolon ( ;).

This file also includes the SecondsFromNowNotRecordedYet parameter. This setting is for video fetching. It is the number of seconds before the current time to consider that recording is not yet available for export. For example, if the current time is 10:00 AM and the setting value is 1800, any export requests for video after 09:30 AM will fail because the plugin considers that the video recording is not yet available.
