Install and configure ArcGIS Video Server

This guide includes step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring ArcGIS Video Server and the server site.

Before installing ArcGIS Video Server, do the following:

• Review the system requirements  and make any adjustments necessary to the server machine.
• Obtain the software package from My Esri, including the software installer and license.

After ensuring that your system is prepared for the installation, use the installation guide to complete your server setup. The following is an overview of the installation process:

1. Install the ArcGIS Video Server software on your machine using the installation wizard  or by completing a  silent installation.
2. Create the ArcGIS Video Server site.
3. Install and configure an ArcGIS Web Adaptor instance with the ArcGIS Video Server site.
4. Configure the site  with your  ArcGIS Enterprise portal. Federate the server site with the portal and designate it as the portal's  ArcGIS Video Server.
5. Have an administrator provide ArcGIS Excalibur licenses to user accounts that will be publishing video layers to ArcGIS Video Server. See the ArcGIS Excalibur system requirements to provide the appropriate privileges.

Follow the instructions carefully, as the installation process for ArcGIS Video Server differs from that of other servers.

ArcGIS Video Server can manually be deployed in Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. Full support for Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services cloud formation templates are not currently supported.

Register new object stores with ArcGIS Video Server

To register a new object store, complete the following steps:

1. Select the Cloud Store option for Configuration Store type during initial site configuration.
2. Input the Access and Secret Keys (AWS) or Account Name and Account Key (Azure) for the AWS/Azure account you will be using to create the object store.
3. The Connection String will define the name of the object store, along with its region and any additional parameters desired. At minimum, you will want to include the following:
   • NAMESPACE=<NAMESPACE>;REGION=<REGION>

     Note:

     In the above example, NAMESPACE refers to the name of the Cloud Store you want to create. It does not need to be an existing Cloud Store.

   • Additional parameters may include AccountName, EndpointSuffix, CredentialType, ClientID, TenantID, username, and password.

   Note:

   When the Configure Site form is filled in, the username and password will be automatically appended to your Connection String based on the Access & Secret Keys (or Account Name & Account Key).
