Control Panel - Quick Start Guide

This quick start guide will go through the different elements of the control panel.

Hardware Overview

Inside the control panel



Locating Panel Serial/IMEI

The control panel identifiers can be found on the packaging of the control panel and a label on the inside of the unit.
On this sticker, there is a P/N, S/N, and IMEI number (See image below as an example). The IMEI is what will be used as the device serial within the webeyeCMS platform.



If the labels cannot be seen or have been damaged, the IMEI can also be located on the top of the Modem as noted in the image above.

Adding the device to the platform

Within the Create Device page, make sure all fields marked with an asterisk * are correctly updated for the device to be created successfully. Ensure the IMEI number is used for the serial number field and not S/N marked on the label. This can be located on the sticker (See Locating Panel Serial/IMEI section above).
Select the Vigileyez device type from the Type of Device drop-down.
Having the Generate alarms for arm/disarm signals tickboxes checked will generate an alarm whenever the control panel is armed/disarmed. The signals will still be received if these options are not ticked, the signals will go straight into the reporting sections without generating an alarm.
Ticking Generate alarms for periodic test/heartbeat signals will generate an alarm each time the control panel polls into the webeyeCMS platform. 

Signal Poll Failure Checks is a function where webeyeCMS will periodically check to make sure the platform is receiving signals from the control panel. If no signals are received in the period set, an alarm will be generated notifying of a Signal Poll Failure
By default, the Vigileyez control panel is configured to send a periodic test signal every 1 hour. Using this information you can set the Signal Poll Check frequency as low as 1 or 2 hours.


If you get a warning advising that the control panel serial already exists on the platform, please contact the Technical Support Department to assist in getting the device transferred.

Once the device has been created, it will take you to the Configure page.  Ensure the correct amount of cameras is selected at the top of the configuration page. The default credentials of the system will have been automatically entered.

When finished, ensure the Save Changes button is pressed at the bottom of the page.

Accessing Device Configuration

To access the Control panel configuration, select the ⚙️ or use the 3 dots and select Configure.

To access the device configuration, press the Connect button at the top of the Configure Device page under the device. After a few moments, a message will appear confirming the connection request and the field next to the button should change to Connected in green. The Configure Device Settings button will now be available and will open a new browser window with the panel login screen. Log in using the admin credentials of the control panel. This will take you to the main panel interface.
