Overview of Windows Services
CAMServer can also be run as a Windows service. There are several advantages to running as a Windows service.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
- If CAMServer crashes, it can be restarted automatically.
*Using the "recovery" function of Windows services
demerit
- CAMServer cannot have a window while the service is running, so some management menus cannot be executed.
*Functions that are always used can be executed remotely from the client.
Setup Method
Check win_service in the folder structure after installation
As a service registration/deletion/start/stop script,CAMServer/win_service are located.
The role of each script is as follows
- installSvc.vbs---Registers CAMServer as a Windows service
- removeSvc.vbs -- Removes CAMServer registered as a service from the service.
- startSvc.vbs--Starts CAMServer as a service
- stopSvc.vbs---Stop CAMServer started as a service
Registering for Windows Services
To run CAMServer as a service, you must first register it as a service in Windows only once.
To register as a Windows service, manually click and start camserver.exe in the unzipped folder.
The main window will be displayed as usual, so select "Administration Menu" → "Service" → "Install Service".
When executed, the service is registered to the service as a service name "CAMServerService".

When migrating from the regular version, make sure that the startup startup of the regular version does not overlap with the "automatic startup" of the Windows service.
