Switching images on the Sharp
Some Sharp cameras are shipped with multiple versions of Security Center embedded on
the hard drive. These disk images allow you to quickly switch versions on the Sharp in order
to be compatible with the latest version of Patroller and Security Center. This section
explains how to switch the image on a Sharp.
1 Start a Remote Desktop Connection, and enter the name or IP address of the Sharp
you want to connect to.
NOTE Please note the following:
• If the Sharp is connected to a network with DNS capability, you can connect using
the Sharp name (e.g. Sharp1234). The name is printed on the Sharp unit’s label.
• If DNS is not available, you’ll need to connect using the default IP address of the
Sharp (192.168.10.100).
2 Click Connect.
3 Enter the following logon information (username and password are case sensitive):
a Username: enter gopher
b Password: enter AutoVu_g0pher
4 In the notification area on the Windows taskbar, close the Watchdog and PlateReader-
Server applications.
a
Right-click the Watchdog icon,
then click Exit.
b Right-click the
PlateReaderServer icon, then
click Exit.
5 Go to the root D:\AutoVu folder.
Watchdog
PlateReaderServer
You’ll see one or more folders with names based on different versions of Security Center.
For example, you should see a folder called Plate Reader_5.1 SR1. This folder contains
the files the Sharp needs to be compatible with the future release Security Center
5.1 SR1.
6 Choose the folder that corresponds to the Security Center version you want, and then
delete the underscore suffix. For example, if you want to use the Sharp with 5.1 SR1,
rename the folder Plate Reader_5.1 SR1 to just Plate Reader.
This will tell the Sharp to use the 5.1 SR1 files and services contained in the folder.
7 Do the same for the other folders with the same underscore suffix.
8 When you are finished renaming the folders, power cycle the Sharp to restart it (disconnect
the Sharp cable for a few seconds and then reconnect it).
When the Sharp restarts, it will be compatible with the version of Security Center you
chose by deleting the underscore suffix from the folders on the Sharp.
