Prev Next

OpenEye VMS is validated for use with WSC. OpenEye VMS is a video and access management software developed to address surveillance use cases.

Prerequisites

  • An active Wasabi Surveillance Cloud Storage account

  • Active license for OpenEye and Apex server

  • Recommended RAM size—16GB for small systems (less than or equal to 25 cameras)

  • 100 GB of free space must be available on the local server

  • Open outbound HTTPS (443 port) for Wasabi cloud endpoints

Configuring WSC for Use With OpenEye VMS

  1. Follow the instructions in 1—Installing Wasabi Surveillance Cloud to install WSC on the local server. Be sure to select OpenEye VMS. Once the OpenEye VMS profile is selected, it cannot be changed.

  2. Install the WSC software on each server in case multiple recording servers are deployed. The same WSC credentials can be used across all servers.

  3. Open the WSC software.

  4. Follow the steps in Pairing a VMS with a Target to add a source and target. Be sure to set:

    • Source path—Select the folder defined in OpenEye VMS as a Recording Volume/folder. If more than one volume has been configured in OpenEye VMS, add each folder (source) separately. Do not add subfolders whose parent folder has been added as a source.

    • Targets—Select Wasabi to autofill the Access and Secret keys. Optionally, enter the keys manually.

  5. To confirm that data is being written to the bucket with the same directory structure as the source folder, log in to the Wasabi Console to verify.
