Install the Software

Unzip the VMS download.

Double click Luma View VMS Lite.exe and follow the prompts. You may need to close antivirus software.

To uninstall, click Start > Luma View VMS > Uninstall.

Launch the Software for the First Time

Pro Tip: -_For security reasons, Luma VMS has its own set of credentials that are not tied to either Luma or OvrC. This allows you to grant access to the VMS without exposing your entire system to the recipient.

Run Luma VMS Client.

Pro Tip: -_If you get a Management Server Port (7001) conflict, Fixing the Management Server Port Conflict.

Enter the default username (admin) and password (123456).

Select whether you want the system to remember your password or enable auto login. Read and accept the privacy statement.

Click Login to access the program and begin customizing it.

Create New Credentials

The system recognizes this as a new install and requires you to create a superuser (admin) password for your VMS. Enter the password twice, then click Next.

At this point, the system logs you out and asks you to log back in with the credentials you just created.

When you do, you can customize your security recovery questions and answers. If you forget your password and cannot later remember these answers, you will be locked out.

You can also configure the system to synchronize its time with your computer. If you select this, your computer (acting as the server) syncs the other devices in the VMS to its time every two hours.

Click Finish to complete the wizard. The system takes you to the configuration menu of your home screen.

Connect to OvrC

The program opens into the Home screen. From the Configuration menu, click the Login OvrC hotlink. If you cannot find it, navigate to Home > Configuration > Login OvrC tab.

Here you enter the OvrC Connect credentials for the location that you want to access.

Logging in syncs the Luma VMS with that location’s Luma x20 devices. Luma VMS imports the surveillance devices from OvrC Connect.
