About Clearance Uploader

2024-02-28Last updated

Genetec Clearance™ Uploader is an application used to automatically upload media from body-worn cameras, sync folders, or other devices to Clearance, or a Security Center video archive, depending on which .json config file is used.

The Clearance Uploader application includes the following components:
  • Clearance Uploader agent: The Clearance Uploader agent (Genetec.SaaS.Dems.Uploader.Agent.exe) is the user interface component of the application that is used to check the status of media uploads.
  • Clearance Uploader integration: The Clearance Uploader integration (Genetec.SaaS.Dems.Uploader.Integration.exe) is the Windows integration component of the application that performs media uploads automatically in the background. To link the Clearance Uploader with your Clearance account, you must create an integration.
    Tip: Scheduled uploads can help you avoid using bandwidth during office hours by deferring uploads to a more convenient time. Scheduled uploads are also useful if you are using a multi-dock or are uploading media from multiple devices, which might consume excessive bandwidth.

    The Clearance Uploader supports a maximum of 26 concurrent cameras per workstation or server when using a multi-dock.
