Planning your AIRA server installation before actually performing it is absolutely critical. Depending on the size of your camera deployment, geographic considerations, and integration with other systems, different AIRA configurations would be recommended. These all impact network and hardware specifications, standalone versus array configurations and other factors.
Aimetis Xnet Account Before installing the AIRA server, you are required to have a valid Aimetis Xnet account. During installation of the software you will be prompted for your Xnet login credentials, so that AIRA can download and install the appropriate license automatically. For more information on the Xnet, visit http://www.aimetis.com/xnet/help.aspx.
Hardware and Network Requirements Prior to installing AIRA Server, you need to assess hardware requirements to meet the needs of your organizations deployment plan. An organization with a single location and 10 cameras will have different requirements than an organization with multiple locations and over 1000 cameras. For help on planning your hardware and network requirements for your AIRA deployment, consult the Choosing your AIRA deployment architecture White Paper as well as the AIRA Hardware Calculator at http://www.aimetis.com/dlbin/tools/hardwarecalculator.xls.
