Install

  1. Download the installer, anyaicam-appliance-installer-1.2.4-vms-3b2317e8e532.tar.gz (35.3 MB). Activating AnyAiCam needs an AnyAiCam account with a VMS licence.
  2. Check the download is complete. In a terminal, in the folder you saved it to, run the first command below. The result must be 5eb86422fdca69412249533716e2251243a055225746c020c57b6406f3bf3077.
  3. Unpack it, run the installer, then run the built-in check:
sha256sum anyaicam-appliance-installer-1.2.4-vms-3b2317e8e532.tar.gz
mkdir -p ~/anyaicam-installer
tar -xzf anyaicam-appliance-installer-1.2.4-vms-3b2317e8e532.tar.gz -C ~/anyaicam-installer
cd ~/anyaicam-installer
sudo ./install.sh
sudo ./validate.sh
  1. In the AnyAiCam portal, follow Set up your appliance to link this PC to your account and add your cameras.

After installation

Updates

New versions appear in Settings → System. The account owner starts each install. Every update is checked before it installs, and if a new version does not start correctly the PC goes back to the version it was running.

Repair

Run sudo ./install.sh --repair from the installer folder. Recordings, cameras, settings and accounts are kept.

Help

If validate.sh reports a problem, send its output to AnyAiCam support, or call (346) 554-4699.
