Section ² - Configuration
Connection of the DCS-2120
Once you have the privilege to connect to the DCS-2120, 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 green, 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.
The video channel is not connected with any DCS-2120 yet.
The green light means the DCS-2120 associated with this channel number is connected, and the video is monitored
in the video area.
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.
With the motion detection mechanism set in the DCS-2120, the light of the corresponding channel
will blink once the motion event is triggered.
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:
Green:
Red:
Blink:
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.
This section depicts, in detail, how to manipulate the monitor tool.

Show the video of a specified channel
This section depicts the method of how to show the video of a specific channel in a display window.
Step 1: Move the mouse cursor to the camera you would like display in the window.
Step 2: Press and hold the left mouse button, and then drag it
to a display window in the video area on the right side of the
screen. 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. The video will appear in the display window
as shown below. 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.

Removing video from a display window
Step 1: Move the mouse cursor to the display window that
contains the video channel you wish to remove.
Step 2: Note that the cursor will change to the hand-shape
when it has been moved onto the displaying frame. After
that, press the left mouse button and hold it.
Step 3: Move the cursor, while still holding the left mouse
button, to the trashcan in the common area of the monitor
program.
Step 4: When the cursor shape changes to an arrow-shape
over the trashcan, release the left mouse button. The video
in the corresponding display window will disappear.

The Layout
There are six different layouts available, as shown below, for the display windows in the monitor program. You can
select between 1 camera, 4 camera, 6, camera, 9 camera, 13 camera, and 16 camera layout. You can select one of
them by clicking on a layout icon. In each layout, you can drag and drop the “channel number” to any display window
in the video area. Following the procedures described in the section titled “Show the video of a specified channel”, you
can add the video channels to display windows within the selected layout in the video area one by one. You can also
exchange the video between different display windows by dragging and dropping. Double clicking on a display window
will switch to single channel layout.
When you choose the one-channel layout or four-channel layout, the “Page up” and “Page down” buttons will be shown
in the left-bottom corner of the video area. You can use these two buttons to switch the pages, as shown in the figure
below.

To view an individual camera from the multi-camera layout, double-click on the desired display window. You will see
that the size of the display window is the same as the one-channel layout. Clicking the Back button in the upper-left
corner of the video area will switch to the previous selected multi-camera layout.
The position that each video channel is in for every layout will be saved for the next time the layout is selected.
Input/Output Control Tools
IP surveillance includes DI/DO control (Digital Input / Digital Output) control and an alert message receiver. Each of
these are described in detail on the following pages.
Note:
The DI/DO is not available in the DCS-2120 camera.
