This document provides an overview and instructions for installing, configuring, and using the OpenCVR video management software (VMS). The software uses a client-server architecture with the OpenCVRStor server and OpenCVRClient client. Key sections describe installing the software on Windows and Linux, configuring storage, cameras, views and other system components on the server, and using features like live video monitoring, playback, and exporting video clips through the client interface or REST API.

1 Introduction
0. About OpenCVR OpenCVR(Content Video Recorder) is a simple VMS and NVR, it support Winodws and Linux. OpenCVR include OpenCVRStor(server) and OpenCVRClient(client)
2 Installing Software
1. Installing Software
Server Requirements Hardware Requirements Hardware decoding on Windows TODO Hardware decoding on Linux TODO
Windows you can direct start the OpenCVRClient.exe and OpenCVRStor.exe
Linux you should Start the startstor.sh and startclient.sh
Default user is admin
Default password is admin
Run OpenCVRStor as service
Windows Run the regservice.bat and unregservice.bat for the OpenCVRStor
Ubuntu (14.04)
3 Installing Software
1. Create an user for the desired service
2. Ensure the created user has full access to the binary you want to set up 3. Copy the service/opencvr-ubuntu.conf to the /etc/init/opencvr.conf 4. Adjust the APPDIR in /etc/init.d/opencvr.conf 5. sudo start opencvr
CentOS (CentOS 7) 1. Create an user for the desired service 2. Ensure the created user has full access to the binary you want to set up 3. Copy the service/opencvr-centos to the /etc/init.d/opencvr 4. Adjust the APPDIR in /etc/init.d/opencvr 5. Make sure the script is marked as executable: chmod +x /etc/init.d/opencvr
6. Enable the config in in runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5:
chkconfig opencvr on
7. service opencvr start
Debian(Include Ubuntu) 1. Create an user for the desired service 2. Ensure the created user has full access to the binary you want to set up 3. Copy the service/opencvr-debian to the /etc/init.d/opencvr 4. Adjust the APPDIR in /etc/init.d/opencvr 5. Make sure the script is marked as executable: chmod +x /etc/init.d/opencvr
6. Enable the daemon with:
update-rc.d opencvr defaults
7. service opencvr start
4 Software Overview
3. OpenCVR Software Overview
Client/Server Architecture OpenCVR software is based on a client/server architecture, OpenCVR client can manage multiple OpenCVR Server, a Server also can be manged by multiple Client.
The Server name is OpenCVRStor, the Client name is OpenCVRClient
