Symphony server runs the following core Services. All Symphony Services are prefixed with an "AI".
AI InfoService |
Web Server running Symphony's web service which receives all requests from the client. |
AI NetSendHist |
Responsible for historical video streaming and historical .JPEG creation. |
AI Scheduler |
Responsible for polling hardware alarm inputs, cleaning video, running reports and searches, synchronizes CPU and other processes on system. |
AI Tracker X |
The process that performs video analysis, saves video to disk, live video streaming. Each camera requires its own AI Tracker service. |
Symphony Requires the AI InfoService to be running properly. Normally connectivity issues between the client and server are caused by a resource conflict between another process using Port 50000, or a Firewall preventing Symphony and the AI InfoService from communicating properly.
By default, Symphony installs a Microsoft SQL Server express database during the installation of Symphony Server. Make sure the SQL Server (AIMETIS) service is started.
Symphony services can be stopped and started individually. Services can be individually restarted directly from Symphony Client, or from Windows directly by using the Services Console.
