Although Add-Ins can be run on a Velocity client, Velocity's Windows services must be run on a Velocity server. For this reason, certain specific tasks in the Scheduling Agent cannot be run on the client. For more about this, refer to the Scheduling Agent - Select Task Type topic in the Service Control Manager (SCM) section of the Velocity Online Help. |
The Velocity CCTV Service controls the CCTV port, switcher, and camera operations. (The CCTV Service only starts if you have previously defined a CCTV system in Velocity.)
Some additional services can appear in the SCM if your system includes certain specific optional integrations for video recording systems. The appearance of the SCM icon indicates which of the required services for your system are currently running:
Icon | Description |
|---|---|
 | All of the required services for your system are running. A green arrow appears. |
 | The Security Domain Service is running, but one or more of the other required services for your system is stopped. A red circle appears around a green arrow. |
 | All of the required services for your system are stopped. A red square dot appears in place of the green arrow. |
Wait until the arrow turns green before proceeding. This can take 30 seconds or more after a reboot or manual restart.
If Velocity's SCM does not start automatically, click on the Windows Start button and select either Programs > Hirsch Electronics Velocity > Service Control Manager (for an existing system that was upgraded from 3.5) , or Programs > Hirsch Velocity > Velocity (for a new installation). The Velocity services should restart automatically.
