Installation
============

- It is very important that your system is up-to-date before attempting to
  install AXIS Camera Station. Update your system by running Windows Update.

- If an existing installation is being upgraded with this version please 
  consult the 'Upgrade consideration' section below before upgrading.

- If not already installed, Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1 framework will be installed 
  (included in installation file). This will take a few minutes. 
  It is recommended to install Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1 framework via Windows 
  Update prior to installing AXIS Camera Station.

- The AXIS Camera Station client requires Windows Media Player 11. The 
  installation program will detect if installation of Windows Media Player 11 
  is required.

- Run the self-extracting AXIS Camera Station setup file.

- For upgrade to this version an upgrade license must be valid.

- Make sure you have full administrator rights on the computer you install on.

- The background service will be stopped for the upgrade (no recordings).
  The background service will start automatically after the upgrade.

- After upgrade to this version it is not possible to downgrade to the previous
  version without a complete uninstallation. AXIS Camera Station version 3 can
  be installed in parallel with a current AXIS Camera Station version 2.xx
  installation. If downgrade for some reason is necessary, simply uninstall
  version 3 and keep the version 2 installation.

- If AXIS Camera Station is upgraded any AXIS Camera Station Clients must also
  be upgraded.


Uninstallation
==============

- Run 'Uninstall' under Start/Control Panel/Add or Remove programs.

- Recordings are not erased by 'Uninstall' and need to be manually erased under
  C:\Recordings\ or where located as specified for each camera.


Recommendations
===============

- Observe the hardware requirements for running AXIS Camera Station.
  See users documentation at www.axis.com for details.

- Make sure that the latest available graphics card driver is used.
