My Client changed themes or prevents me changing the theme

Description

Themes were added in ExacqVision Client version 8.04, permitting the Desktop Client to be customized to an operator’s preference.

With the release of ExacqVision Client 19.03, new client installs defaulted to the Light theme in place of the Classic theme.

Problem

  • Updating to ExacqVision Client 23.06 has changed my Client theme.
  • I cannot change my Client theme / The theme selector is greyed out.

Explanation

With updates made to the underlying ExacqVision Client code, on Windows systems the Client now respects the color options selected for the operating system.

Windows 10/11

Under ‘Settings’ > ‘Personalization’ or right-clicking the Desktop and selecting ‘Personalize’, navigate to the ‘Colors’ menu.

From this menu, the top-most drop down, labeled ‘Choose your color,’ offers Light, Dark, or Custom options.

  • If ‘Light’ is selected the Client will open with the Light theme chosen. Navigating to the ‘Client’ node on left-side configuration tree will allow the user to select from Light, Dark, or Classic themes for the ExacqVision Client. <br><br>
  • If ‘Dark, is selected, the Client will open with the Dark theme automatically chosen. However, the theme selector on the Client Settings page will be “greyed out,” preventing user changes. <br>


    <br><br>
  • If ‘Custom’ is selected, some further options appear below. There is a section labeled ‘Choose your default app mode’.<br>
    <br><br>
    • If ‘Light’ is selected the Client will open with the Light theme chosen. Navigating to the ‘Client’ node on left-side configuration tree will allow the user to select from Light, Dark, or Classic themes for the ExacqVision Client. <br><br>
    • If ‘Dark is selected, the Client will open with the Dark theme automatically chosen. However, the theme selector on the Client Settings page will be “greyed out,” preventing user changes.

These Color selections are user-based, meaning that two user accounts on the same system may have different Color settings their Windows environment. Each choice will affect how that logged in account views the ExacqVision Client.

This article describes how to set IP addresses as either static or DHCP for a Cloudvue Gateways onboard NICs.

Product 

  • Cloudvue Gateway

Prerequisites

  • Port #1 “NET” is connected to a network with internet access
  • The Cloudvue Gateway has be registered

Solutions

NOTE: Network Settings can only be viewed, not changed from cloudvue.com

Local Cloudvue

  • Open a web browser from a machine connected to the same network as the Cloudvue Gateway
  • Go to the LAN IP address of the Cloudvue Gateway for example http://192.168.1.180
    • Note: See Knowledge Base Article #15509 “Finding Cloudvue Gateway IP Addresses” for more details about finding IP Addresses
  • Login to the Local Cloudvue instance 
  • From the Navigation bar select Live
  • Expand Video Devices
  • Select the Cloudvue Gateway
  • From the Navigation bar select Settings
  • Select the Settings tab
  • Under Network Settings
    • PORT 1 “LAN”
      • This is the NIC labeled “NET” on the gateway and should be connected to the customers local area network
      • It can be configured to either obtain an IP address dynamically “DHCP” or be assigned a Static IP
      • DHCP (Default)
        • Tick DHCP
      • STATIC
        • Tick Static
        • Enter the desired IP address
        • Enter a Subnet Mask
        • Enter the IP address for DNS Server 1
        • Enter the IP address for DNS Server 2
      • Save the Changes
    • PORT 2  “Cameras”
      • This NIC is labeled POE on the gateway and should be connected to the Camera Network
      • It is intended to function as a DHCP server and assign a dynamic IP address to connected cameras
      • However, you can choose to set to static and manually IP connected cameras
      • DHCP Server (Default)
        • Tick DHCP Server
      • Static
        • To change the networking number scheme from the default 192.168.20.1
        • Enter a new IP address
        • Enter a Subnet Mask
      • NOTE: After changing PORT 2, all devices plugged into this port will need to be rebooted.
    • Once satisfied click SAVE to apply changes

Command Line

  • The overall process is
  • Establish an SSH connection to the Cloudvue Gateway
    • Enter your machines sudo password
    • Enter the smartvue SSH password  found in the SSH Section for the device in Cloudvue Manager.
  • Using either nano or vi edit the file /etc/network/interfaces
  • Make the desired changes to any NIC to set for either static or dhcp
  • Save the changes and exit the editor
  • Down and up the NICs which were changed to apply the changes or alternatively restart the Gateway

In this example both NICs em2 (LAN) and em1 (Cameras) are being set to a static IP address

Additional /etc/network/interfaces Examples

In this example NIC em2 (LAN) is set to static and em1 (Cameras) is set to DHCP

In this example NIC em2 (LAN) is set to DHCP and em1 (Cameras) is set to Static

Removing Inactive Devices

Description 

At times it may be necessary to remove video devices from customer accounts. The following steps outline how to safely remove inactive devices.

Product 

  • C2C
  • Cloudvue Gateway

Solution

Note: Ideally the following steps should be performed by the integrator. Support can do all the steps as well but should avoid removing subscriptions (see below)

  1. Access the customer’s account in Cloudvue Manager
  2. Expand Video Devices and select the desired device
  3. Expand Subscriptions and uncheck the subscription and save. (If it says checkout this should be done by the partner staff that originally created the subscription for correct prorations to be applied)
  4. Expand Users and Remove all users from the device
  5. For Cloudvue Gateways expand Cameras and remove all cameras from the device
  6. Edit the Device and set the Partner and Account to Inactive (this removes the device from their manager portal and requires help from support )

Analytic Metadata Best Practices

With Artificial Intelligence being used more often users may notice a spike in the analytic metadata being processed and stored.  Here are our recommendations to manage this increase.

Update exacqVision Server/Client Software

  • Ensure you are running the latest version of both exacqVision Server and Client software.  
  • Search “updating” in the exacqVision Client User Manual, available Here for information on updating.

Adjust Camera Settings

  • Access Analytics from the camera’s configuration GUI page
  • Only those analytic types required by the customer should be enabled
  • The goal is to keep this setting as minimal as possible, while still achieving the customers goals.

Reduce DB retention period

  • Reduce ‘Maximum Days to Keep Bounding Box Metadata’ available in exacqVision Server/Client 23.09 and higher. See: Maximum Days to Keep Bounding Box Metadata Explained
  • Reduce the ‘Maximum Days to Keep Logged Events’
  • These settings decide when older items should be removed or “Purged” from the Database (eventPI), the lower the value, the less storage needed. 
  • It is recommended to set this value as low as possible and adjust based on available storage when data is processing
  • Customer retention requirements must also be considered.

Disable Analytics

  • Each camera is different, but if the user does not have enough storage for 24 hours of analytics, or if analytics are not needed, currently the best option is to disable the analytics completely. 
  • Within the exacqVision Client software, go to Configuration → Server → Configure System → Add IP Cameras → Camera Recording → Analytics Camera → Analytics tab – Uncheck “Record analytic data
