Camera Specifications

Note: POE compatible preferred.

Hik-Vision:

Specifications:

  1. Min 1080p* 1920 Camera resolution i.e, 2MP
  2. Support to RTSP url

URL structure for Hik-Vision:

rtsp://username:password@<IP_ADDRESS_COMES_HERE>/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0

For Hik Vision cameras, both RTSP and HTTP URL’s work fine. There is no need to use HTTP streams as RTSP works fine and is lag-free.

AXIS cameras:

http://username:password@<IP_ADDRESS_COMES_HERE>/mjpg/1/video.mjpg

For AXIS cameras, RTSP feed lags behind by almost 1.5 minutes. Use HTTP only.

Install KloudVision software to Controller

Having gained a comprehensive understanding of the essential system requirements necessary for the successful deployment of the KloudVision video analytics platform, the next crucial step is to embark on the installation process. In this section, we will delve into the step-by-step procedure to install the KloudVision software onto the designated controller. The controller acts as the central hub that orchestrates the interaction between cameras, data processing, and the user interface. The installation process encapsulates various facets, from acquiring the necessary software components to configuring the software on the controller.

Download ISO File

  1. Please download the ISO from the link below:

Note: To optimize the installation process, it is recommended to obtain three distinct iso files. The first one is dedicated for the exclusive use of KloudVision software, the second for combo devices (both KloudVision and Disply), and the third only for KloudDisplay. If you possess solely the KloudVision device, the Vision ISO will suffice. However, if you have both KloudVision and Display, the appropriate selection would be the Combo Device ISO. Additionally, if you have purchased only KloudDisplay software, then installation of the Display ISO is suitable for your needs.

  1. After downloading you need to create a bootable USB Drive from the downloaded image.

  2. You can download an image writing tool from the link below:

    Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way

  3. This is just a recommendation. You can use any tool you wish, that can accomplish the same job.

  4. Follow the steps as per your software and create a bootable USB.

  5. After flashing, remove the USB from the host and proceed to the installation step below.

Installation

Pre-requisites

  1. Ensure you have a USB drive containing the installation files.
  2. Make sure you have an active internet connection.

Installation Steps

  1. Plug the USB drive into the controller’s USB port and Reboot the controller.

  2. During the reboot process, look for the setup menu, boot options menu, or boot device selection screen. If your system boots up quickly, try using keys like F10, F12, F8, or Del to access the boot menu.

  3. On an Intel NUC, press the ‘On’ button for more than 2 seconds until it turns red. This will bring up the boot menu.

  4. On the boot device menu, select the USB drive as the boot device. The option might have the words “bootloader” or “Ubuntu Installer” associated with it. Make sure it’s booting up Ubuntu Installer from the USB drive.

  5. Once the bootloader menu appears. A window displaying the IP address will open. Select “Done” and press Enter.

    Note: If the device is not connected to the internet, the IP page will not load. It is crucial to ensure that your device is properly connected to the internet before proceeding with the installation process. If the IP page does not load, please check your internet connection and ensure it is active and stable.

  1. After the installation starts, a confirmation window will appear. Select the “Continue” option and press Enter.
  1. The installation process will begin immediately, and it may take approximately 40-45 minutes. If you wish to see the full log, you can select the “View full log” option. Otherwise, the installation will complete automatically.
  1. When the installation is finished, A window will open, displaying a similar interface as shown in the image below. At this point, please remove the USB drive and press the Enter key.
  1. The system will reboot automatically, and the software will open.

Finding the MAC Address

  1. After the installation is complete, the next step is to obtain the KloudSpot license, which requires the MAC address.
  2. Disconnect your internet connection to find your MAC address.
  3. The MAC address can be found at the bottom of the display.

  1. Send the MAC address of the device to Kloudspot, and it will be licensed to your account.

  2. Once the license is applied, you can log in to your Kloudspot Account to configure the camera and other settings for the controller.

Account Creation and Login

Congratulations on successfully installing the KloudVision software to your controller! After receiving your controller’s MAC address, Kloudspot’s support team will process the activation of your license.
