Using IP Surveillance Software
Before you start the playback program, it is necessary for you to log in to the application
software. The figure below shows the login dialog. For security concerns, only the admin
account can log in to this program. To change the password of the admin account,
please refer to the section titled “Logging In.”
Layout
Logging In
When you successfully log in to the playback system, the main window will be shown
on the top of the screen and the display resolution will be changed to 1024x768
automatically. There are four main areas, i.e. display area, histogram area, control area,
and status area. There are also three visualized controls , i.e. area selection indicator,
frame selection indicator, and pull bar. These features provide much more convenience
while searching recorded video in the IP surveillance database.

Main Areas
Display Area
The display area is able to show the surveillance database of each camera by time.
You can change the video size through the display adjustment tool and the playback
method through the play control tool. Under the normal display mode as shown in the
figure below, you can just double click on the frame area to change the frame size to 1:1
or 2.25:1.
Histogram Area
The histogram is an interactive control. Not only can you get the event’s location in time
domain and its quantity of the motion percentage, but you can also select a group of
events or a period from the event histogram area and show it on the display area.
Control Area
The control area contains almost all the control selectors and toolboxes you need to
browse the database. These control tools include location selector, period selector,
playback method selector, jog dial, display adjustment tool, searching range adjustment
tool, exporting tool, and system control tool.
Status Area
The status area is located at the bottom of the main window. It tells you the program
status information including display mode, display size, display speed, exporting file
format, and exporting file name.
Indicators
Area Selection Indicator
In the main playback window, the display area is surrounded by a blue rectangle. This
rectangle is the area selection indicator. This indicator can be set to either display area
or histogram area, as long as you move your mouse cursor to the area you intend to
select. When you select the display area, the display adjustment tool will appear in the
control area. If you select the histogram area, the display adjustment tool will disappear
and the searching range adjustment tool will be shown in the same place of the control
area.
Pull Bar
The pull bar is a fast, flexible control for seeking data in the selected time period. It
represents the total length of time in that period. You can pull the indicator on the pull
bar to the specific time-point you would like to view. The displaying video will halt and
then restart, playing the video sequence from the point you selected. If the video
sequence has been paused, the display area will show the point you selected without
playing. Note that the pull bar will only function under the normal display mode.
