Introduction
The VISIX Setup tech utility (Android and iOS App) is designed to be used by a field installer to efficiently setup and configure 3xLOGIC cameras. For this utility to function correctly, all desired cameras must be attached to a network that has an active internet connection.
The utility will gather key installation information such as Site name, Location, Camera Name, and other key camera data points. This information can be emailed out for future reference and is used to setup and configure these cameras with other 3xLOGIC software such as VIGIL Client, 3xLOGIC View Lite II (VIGIL Mobile), and VIGIL VCM software.
This guide will inform a user regarding the basic usage of the VISIX Setup Tech Utility. Proceed through the remaining sections of this guide for instructions on operating the VISIX Setup tech utility.
