Changing the Camera Order in the List
You can “drag and drop” in the grid area of the camera list to change the sequence of
the connected Network Cameras, which is shown below. This will allow you to rearrange
the cameras in an order of your choice. Once the camera is moved to a specified location,
the proceeding cameras will then move 1 position up or 1 position down depending on
which direction the selected camera was moved.
This will trigger an alert sound that has been specified in the
section titled “Global Settings \ Alert Sound.” Check this option
to enable audio alerts for the selected camera.
This function is similar to “Enable Motion Detect” mentioned
above. Once this option has been checked, a digital input device
will be able to trigger an alert sound and recording.
This application software provides options for you to define the
triggering criteria for the digital input of the
DCS-2100
. The alert
of the digital input can be defined as high-level triggered or
low-level triggered.

Global Settings
After completing the connection to each remote Network Camera, we need to configure
some global settings for all the cameras. These include the video database directory,
the usage of the Hard disk, and options for video display.
You can activate the global settings window from “Configuration Menu > Global Settings...”
shown above.
All recording processes will be stopped when activating the global settings window,
indicated by a warning window popped up in advance to keep you informed.

Note: You need to select the input signal format according to the camera type or CCD
module type that is connected to the
DCS-2100
.
Modulation Mode:
When you turn this setting on, the video database system of
this application software will overwrite the oldest data if the
specified path has become full. That means it will record video
data in a loop. If this setting is unchecked, a warning message
will pop up when it is approaching the storage space limit. All
recording will stop when the limit of the hard disk usage is
reached.
Indicate the size of the hard disk that will be reserved for other
Windows applications (at least 15%). The remainder of the hard
disk space will be available for recording. The more space you
have reserved, the less there will be available for your camera(s)
to record to. As you move the bar to the right, more space will
be available for your camera(s) and conversely, less space will
be available for your other applications. If the recording data
exceeds this limitation, the new video data will replace the
oldest data (on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis) when “Cycle
Recording” has been checked.
You can load a custom *.wav file for the sound of alert triggering.
You can also select from the sound files in Windows.
You must select the input signal format (NTSC or PAL) for
displaying the original resolution of video stream from
DCS-2100
.

Display Options
In the video displaying frame of each channel, there are two status bars. The upper bar
contains “Location” (channel number + camera name) and “Remote Time.” The lower
bar contains “Connection Time” (Day:Hour:Min) and “Recording time” (Day: Hour:Min).
All of them, shown in the figure below, can be enabled or disabled here individually
for
the status indication. Apply to full screen mode can also be turned on here. Once it has
been checked, the status bar in each channel showing date, location, connection, and
recording time will be shown in both display frame mode and full screen mode.
