Using IP surveillance Software (continued)

This section depicts, in detail, how to manipulate the monitor tool.

Using the Monitor Program

Connection of the DCS-2000

Channel:

Once you have the privilege to connect to the

DCS-2000

, the cameras will

automatically appear in the video area in the order they are connected. Once

you have set up the camera in the video channel, the color of the channel

number will turn blue, indicating that the camera has been added to IP

surveillance. If you do not set up the camera for the video channel, the color of

the channel number will be gray.

There is a unique light signal associated with each channel number. It indicates

the status of the dedicated video channel, which is depicted as follows:

Off

The video channel is not connected with any

DCS-2000

yet.

±

Green

The green light means the

DCS-2000

associated with this channel

number is connected, and the video is monitored in the video

area.

Red

The red light indicates the video from this channel is recording

into the video database. In this mode, you don’t have to drag and

drop the channel to the video area. This means that this application

software supports real-time recording with and without real-time

monitoring for the dedicated video channel.

Blink

With the motion detection mechanism set in the

DCS-2000

, the

light of the corresponding channel will blink once the motion event

is triggered.

Using IP surveillance Software (continued)

If you do not want to monitor one video, you can drag and drop the video (in the

video area) to the trashcan in the common control area of the monitor program.

The following section will demonstrate the procedures for “drag and drop” step-

by-step.

Show the video of a specified channel

This section depicts the method of how to show the video of a specific channel

in the a display window

Step 1:

Move the mouse cursor to the display window shown below

Step 2:

Press and hold the left mouse button, and then move the cursor to a

display window in the video area, which is shown below. Note that the cursor

will change according to the area in order to indicate whether the area is

droppable or not.

Step 3:

Release the left mouse button while on top of a display window. In each

display layout, only one window can be assigned to a camera. Also, each camera

must have its own separate window when displayed. Once the video is in a

display window, it can be dragged and dropped to other windows. If you drag

one camera’s video to a window that already has its own camera’s video, the

two cameras will trade display windows. Dragging and Dropping is a very

convenient way to manipulate the video channels in the IP surveillance Software.
