Recording settings for clear identification for each image

To have the best video quality, you should set

Fix quality

to

detailed

or

excellent

and tune the

Maximum frame rate

to suit

your network bandwidth. If you get

some broken pictures in a slow network, you can choose

TCP protocol

in

Connection type

for more accurate transmission but the received image may

have lags. Note that any slow connection with multiple users will impair

performance.

Recommendations for setting video for the best

performance (continued):

Recording settings to compromise between real-time and clear

images

If you have a broadband network, set

Fix quality

to

Good,

or better, rather than

setting the

Bit rate

. Otherwise fix the bandwidth to accommodate your actual

network speed and set the frame rate to 30. If the images quality is low, select

the lower frame rate above 15. If the image is still not improved, select a lower

bit rate.

New -

Click to add a new window. A maximum of three

motion windows can be opened simultaneously.

Use your mouse to drag the window frame to

resize or the title bar to move. Clicking on the ‘x’

at the upper right corner of the window will close

the window.

Save -

Saves the related settings of that window.

Using the DCS-2000 with an Internet browser

(continued)

A green bar means the image variation is under the monitoring level, and no

motion detection alert is triggered. A red bar means the image variation is over

the monitoring level and a motion detected alert is triggered. When the bar

goes red, the window that the motion is detected in will also be outlined in red

(note: remember that you can have up to 3 windows selected for motion

detection). You can return to the

DCS-2000

Home Page and the monitored

window will not be visible, but the red frame will show on the home page when

motion is detected.

Enable motion detection

-

Check this option to turn on the motion detection.

Window Name

-

The text entered here will show at the top of the

motion window.

Sensitivity -

Sets the measurable difference between two

sequential images that would indicate motion.

Percentage -

Sets the amount of motion in the window being

monitored that is required to initiate a motion

detected alert. If this is set to 100%, motion is

detected within the whole window to trigger a

snapshot.

Setting a higher

sensitivity

and a lower

percentage

will make any motion more easily

detected.

To display motion detection, a graphic bar will rise or fall depending on the

image variation.

tab to access 4 utility screens for controlling and administering

the

DCS-2000

. The default screen in

DCS-2000

(including the Configuration) by anyone as

long as the IP address is known. It is recommended that you enter a password

to restrict others from accessing your camera.

Type a password in the

New Password

field to enable protection, and then

confirm the password in

Confirm Password

field.

This password is used to identify the administrator. You can add accounts with

section.

Using the DCS-2000 with an Internet browser

(continued)

You can provide up to twenty accounts for other users / visitors. Each account

identifies the access right. This allows multiple visitors to share the same account

of different levels. An option to

Permit to access DI/DO

(Digital In/Digital Out)

is provided for each account. Some users may need to be prohibited from

controlling your attached security devices.
