This guide walks you through the step-by-step setup of a Construction Camera. Each image is transferred to the avisec Cloud Cockpit automatically.\u00a0<\/span>Before starting, please make sure your camera supports FTP uploads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our team is happy to assist you with the configuration if you encounter an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n Content Table<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n Setting up a construction camera takes just a few minutes. The avisec services work with any IP camera that can upload images via FTP or FTPS. You’re already using a camera from Axis, Milesight, or Hikvision? No problem, the avisec Cloud Cockpit also supports cameras not supplied by avisec.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n Log in to the avisec portal using your Superuser or Admin account.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have an account yet, please contact us.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n Go to \u201cList of Cameras\u201d and click the \u201cCreate\u201d button.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n In this section, enter all information about the exact camera location and project title.<\/p>\n Project Title:<\/strong> Any project name of your choice.

Important: Select the correct billing contact and administrator here.<\/p>\n Location:<\/strong> Enter the exact location of the construction camera.<\/p>\n Latitude \/ Longitude:<\/strong> Enter the camera coordinates manually or by clicking on the map. You can also use Google Maps to find the precise coordinates.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Tags <\/span>are mainly used for administrative purposes. They allow you to define searchable keywords, for example:<\/p>\n To document which technician carried out the installation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n To add references for invoices or ERP systems.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Click \u201cAdd\u201d to include more tags.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n Here, you can define the database tables for image storage. Each construction camera requires at least one image table. Typically our users have two tables:\u00a0\u201coriginal\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cpublish.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Original table:<\/strong>\u00a0Unaltered images for the entire project duration.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Publish table:<\/strong>\u00a0Processed or automatically edited images for publication.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Click \u201cSave\u201d<\/strong> to confirm your entries.

An email address is mandatory, as it\u2019s also used for features such as bulk downloads. Each person should have their own individual account.<\/p>\n Select the corresponding camera from the menu. One or multiple cameras can be assigned to a user.<\/p>\n Select the image tables the user should have access to. At least one table must be defined. If a user should not see all image tables, restrictions can be set here.<\/p>\n A Feed represents the publication of an image table. If you don’t want to allow public access and the images are only meant to be stored internally, you can skip this step. In this case, your configuration is complete.<\/p>\n A feed can be viewed<\/strong> without a password<\/strong>.
