Getting Started with Network Optix

The typical installation is Nx Witness, for detailed installation instructions please refer to the Nx Witness installation instructions.

Create a Network Optix Meta account

Sign up for a Free account at the Nx Meta Developer Portal.

Download and install Nx Meta.

To get started with the Nx AI Manager, we advise you to install the Nx Meta Client and Server on your computer, but a separate computer for the server is also possible.

You need both the client and server programs, but the server can be installed on another machine than the client. Typically the server is a computer connected to some cameras over the network, and the client can be installed on your local workstation or laptop.

If the computer you want to run the client fits the requirements, you can download and install the Nx Meta client and server by following the steps below:

  • A suggested operating system will automatically appear.

  • Select your target OS if you want to install the client on an OS different from the automatically selected one.

  • Download the client package that is suitable for your client computer and OS.

  • Download the server package that is built for your server architecture and OS.

  • Run the installer for the client first and follow the installation process.

  • Next install the Nx Server on the same or on a separate device. The installation will be similar to installation of the client.

  • Use the Nx Meta account you made earlier to login and configure the server.

6.1 and older versions

The Nx Meta server version 6.1.1 and newer is packaged with the Nx AI Manager Plugin, so a separate installation should not be necessary.

If your Nx Meta server installation does not come with the plugin, please refer to the scripted installation or advanced installation.

The Nx Meta client does not need a separate installation of the plugin.
