This document describes how to download, install, and uninstall Mech-Metrics.

System Requirements

Mech-Metrics can be used only when installed on an IPC or your PC. The IPC or PC for installing and running the software should meet the following recommended system requirements:

Hard disk

256 GB SSD or larger

  • Mech-Metrics does not support discrete graphics cards other than NVIDIA.

  • Ensure that the hard disk where the software will be installed on IPC or PC should have at least 10 GB free space; otherwise, installation may fail.

  • If the Sentinel LDK encryption driver has not been installed on the IPC or PC, it will be automatically installed to the hard disk C during software installation. Do not uninstall it or move its installation files; otherwise, license authorization may fail and you are not allowed to use the Mech-Metrics software.

When Mech-Metrics is running, the resolution and scale of the screen should follow the correspondence in the table below. If the resolution and scale of your screen do not match those in the table below, some display problems may occur.

If you are using dual monitors, make sure that both have the same resolution and scale.

Software Download, Installation, and Uninstallation

Download Software Installation Package

You can download the software installation package from Mech-Mind Download Center or contact Mech-Mind pre-sales or support engineers.

Verify the Integrity of Software Installation Package

Since the software installation package may be corrupted during transmission or downloading, you need to verify the integrity of the software installation package. The integrity of the installation package can be verified with the CRC-32 value, which is provided on the download page.

Please install and use the 7-Zip software to calculate the CRC-32 value.

To verify the integrity of the software installation package, follow these steps:

  1. Copy the installation package to a specified directory on the device that will run the software, such as D:/.

  2. Unzip the installation package. After decompression, do not move the installer (Mech-Metrics Installer x.x.x.exe) and the content folder.

    Do not move the installer and the content folder.

  3. Open 7-Zip, and use the address bar to navigate to the directory where the software installation package is located.

  4. Select the software installation package, and in the context menu, select File  CRC  CRC-32 to calculate the CRC-32 value.

  5. Check the calculated CRC-32 value against the one on the download page. The two values should be identical.

  6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to calculate the CRC-32 values for the installer (.exe file) and content folder that have been decompressed.

    • For the installation package and the installed, a CRC32 value is got after calculation; for the content folder, the CRC32 checksum for data is got after calculation.

    • If the calculated values do not match those provided on the download page, download the installation package again.

Install the Software

Before installing the software, download the software installation package, and verify the integrity of the software installation package first.

  6. In the Confirm window, confirm that the installation path is correct and then click the Install button.

  7. In the Install window, wait for the installation to complete.

  8. After the software is installed, in the Finish window, click the Finish button.

If the installation fails, refer to the error message in the Finish window to troubleshoot the issue.

When you first open the software, if your IPC or PC displays a security alert, click Allow Access to add the software to the firewall whitelist. Otherwise, the software may not be able to detect the camera due to the firewall blocking.
