Connection of the DCS-3420
Once you have the privilege to connect to the DCS-3420, 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-3420 yet.
The green light means the DCS-3420 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-3420, 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
trash can 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.
