Installation Installation Installing go1984 is a matter of minutes even for users unfamiliar with the program. An unregistered version of the software can be tested for 30 days with all its functions. An uninstaller is included in the download so that you can remove go1984 immediately from your computer if you are not happy with the program.
To install a new version of go1984, shut down go1984 and install go1984 on top of the existing version. The existing version of go1984 must be at least 3.5.x.x. to be able to do this. All the existing settings will be retained during this.
From the Enterprise Edition onwards go1984 can be installed as a service. This will allow the program to be run under the system account without any Windows users logged in. It also ensures that go1984 will not be ended when a user logs out, as would be the case in standard program mode.

In large installations with up to 64 cameras, it is possible due to the system that not all cameras are added at go1984 start in service mode. If you notice that cameras are missing, you should deactivate the "FTP Upload" function to save system resources and thus enable up to 64 cameras in the Ultimate Edition.
New installation or relocation New installation or relocation If you want to install go1984 on a new PC and take over the existing program settings of the old PC, please proceed as follows. In the case that you are already using a go1984 version V4 or newer with 10-digit activation code, you must first deactivate the license on the old PC.

Basic setup The newly added camera(s) now appear(s) in the "IP cameras" branch in go1984 Explorer. The basic configuration of the camera(s) is now complete. go1984 has automatically activated motion detection and recording for the new image source. By default, recording only occurs when motion is detected.
If the IP camera is a moving camera, a so-called PTZ camera (PTZ = pan/tilt/zoom), it can be conveniently operated via go1984. Outdoor camera Select whether the camera will monitor an indoor or outdoor area. The optimal presets for the corresponding surveillance scenario are then automatically selected.
Adding an IP camera from the compatibility list To add an IP camera, select the entry "IP-Cameras" in the go1984 explorer. A list is displayed showing you pictures of all the available cameras. For your information, you will also find the...

Page 34
Finally, click on "OK" to confirm your details. The camera you've added will now appear in the branch "IP-Cameras" of the go1984 explorer. The basic setup of the camera has now been concluded. go1984 has automatically activated motion detection and recording for this image source. As standard, cameras only record when there is a detected motion.
PTZ camera If the IP camera which has been added is a PTZ camera (PTZ = Pan/Tilt/Zoom), you can easily operate this via go1984. Note: If the camera’s live image appears but you cannot use the PTZ control, check the settings for "Host", "Port", "Username"...

Basic setup PTZ Guard Tour Guard tours can be set up for PTZ cameras with preset support from go1984, making it possible for specified camera positions to be gone through automatically with set pauses. First of all, create in the "I/O Manager" under "Event"-> "Guard Tour" a new guard tour with the number of positions you want, which you would like to link later on to the camera preset positions.
10.1.6 Analog camera go1984 also supports, in addition to IP cameras, analog cameras, which can be connected via video encoders. Video encoders digitize the images from analog cameras and make them available via the network, in the same way as for an IP camera.
Recordings are automatically sorted by month to the respective camera in the go1984 explorer. If you wish to view the recordings, select the "Recordings" entry of the respective camera in the go1984 explorer. You'll be shown a list of all the months for which scenes are available. Monthly overview Selecting a month will take you to the monthly overview.
Page 45
Basic setup Daily overview If you wish to view the recordings for a specific day, select the day in the go1984 explorer as described below. You'll be provided with an overview over the scenes recorded on that day. Here, too, moving the mouse pointer over a scene will display a preview. Open the selected scene for viewing by double-clicking on it.
3600 gives you an idea of the number of kilobytes needed per hour. Please note that go1984 uses intelligent ring storage management to contribute significantly to efficient memory management. In many cases, it makes sense in any case to use motion- triggered recording, which reduces memory requirements substantially.
10.2.3 Scene generation go1984 can aggregate recordings made during a certain interval to so-called scenes. This makes it much easier to find them later. The concept used is quite simple. Any scene that has already begun will be continued if less time than defined in the field "Time interval" has passed. If more time has passed, a new scene is generated.

"IP-Cameras" option. You can now see in go1984 the progress of the AVI export process, both as a whole and on an individual scene basis, from the relevant bars.
10.3 Motion detection go1984 is equipped with a powerful, integrated motion detection facility that operates reliably with all compatible cameras. Motion detection offers optimized default settings for analyzing both outside and inside areas so as to avoid as far as possible any false alarms. Motion detection is automatically adapted to the conditions of the situation and removes, for instance, constant nuisances such as trees, bushes, etc.
Page 57
Basic setup As soon as you move the relevant slider in go1984, a green square appears in the live image indicating the minimum size of the objects. Adjust the size of the square so that it is positioned quite clearly under the expected object size, to enable you to detect all movements reliably.
Masking with PTZ cameras Use a PTZ camera that allows you to set preset positions in go1984, so that you can set a separate mask for each position. To do this, the mask’s file name must conform to the following syntax when saving the mask: %cameraname%_N.msk with N=number of the preset position (1-16), e.g.
(e.g. triggering an alarm when there is a movement in a specified direction). You can also use Http events to control go1984 functions or also outputs (relays) remotely via the client solutions for PC, Mac or mobile terminals running under iOS, Android or Windows Phone.
Page 62
The new signal is now available and can be activated or deactivated via the shown URLs. If you want in future to "control remotely" a go1984 function such as the recording from a camera, via one of the client solutions, link the event to the function you want in the next step by right-clicking the mouse.
Page 63
Basic setup Similarly, the output of an IP camera or the logiware IO stick could be controlled after establishing the relevant link via the Http event. If the Http event is to be controlled by an external device, the other settings are applied directly via the web interface of the camera or motion sensor.
Page 66
Then you must link the recording in go1984, which is linked by default to go1984 motion detection, to the http event. If you are not going to continue using the go1984 motion detection function any more or as an alarm function, for instance, you can now deactivate it.
Basic setup 10.5 Notification go1984 can use various channels to notify you in case of an alarm. They are: · Playing an audio file via a sound card · Sending an e-mail with or without an image attached · Uploading one or several images via FTP ·...
10.5.1 Sound go1984 can play a freely selectable audio file in .wav format via your sound card in case of a notification. Simply choose the corresponding file using the dialog. To prevent too many notifications from being sent, you can set a rest period. This means that only when at least the specified time has elapsed since the last playback can the sound file be played again.
10.5.2 E-mail In order to enable e-mail sending from go1984, a so-called SMTP server first needs to be specified. If this has already been done, you can continue here directly. Select the entry "Notification" in the go1984 explorer. You can now enter one or several recipients (separated by semicolons) into the field E-mail address.
"iGo1984 HD" on an iPhone or iPad, for instance. First select the "Web server" option in the go1984 Explorer and then the "Push notification" tab. Activate at least one of the available four push conditions via the relevant button if you want permanent (24 h) notification.
10.5.5 External program go1984 offers you the option of launching an external program in case of a notification. In this case, the image that triggered the notification can first be saved on the hard-drive. In this way, special tasks can be carried out for which go1984 itself is not suitable.
10.6 Scheduler go1984 provides the option of executing certain functions such as recording or notifying only at certain times. You can define as many schedulers as you like, which can then be linked to the corresponding functions. In order to create a new scheduler, select the option "Scheduler" in the go1984 explorer.
After activating the user management, access is only allowed after entering a valid username. go1984 creates a predefined, non-deletable Administrator account which always owns all access rights. This account can be used without a password at first. However, you should define a password as soon as possible by editing the Administrator account.

If you do not want to use UPnP or your Internet router does not support this function, deactivate the function in go1984: In this case, for access via the Internet, the port used by the go1984 web server (default https port "1983") must be configured in the router so that requests via the Internet are forwarded to the computer running go1984.
12.2 Web server connection via SSL In the go1984 Ultimate Edition, you have the option available to access the go1984 web server via a secure HTTPS connection using SSL encryption. The HTTPS protocol offers authentication via an SSL handshake and subsequent encryption of the communication between the client and web server.
