Display Adjustment Tool

When you move the mouse cursor to the displaying area, the display adjustment toolbox will appear. Using the display

adjustment toolbox, you can change the displaying video sequence to the size you want to see in the normal display

mode when you move the area selection indicator to the display area. The ﬁgure below shows the display adjustment

toolbox and its own three elements, i.e. “Zoom In”, “Zoom Out”, and “Full Screen.”

When you click on the “Zoom In” button one time, the image size

in the display area will be magniﬁed 12.5 percent to the original

size. Due to the limitation of the display area size, the maximum

zoom in ratio supported is only 2.25:1 for NTSC modulation mode

and 1.875:1 for PAL modulation mode. If you want to see the

image in more detail, you can use the full screen function that

is supported in the same toolbox.

When you click on the “Zoom Out” button one time, the image

size in the display area will be miniﬁed 12.5 percent to the original size. To show the location and time

information completely, the minimum zoom out ratio is limited in 0.5:1.

When you click on the “Full Screen” button, the video sequence will be enlarged to the whole screen

instantly. You can double click on any place or the “ESC” key to return back to the normal screen. When

you switch to the full screen display, you can press the “Alt” and “Space” keys together to pop the jog dial

to control the displaying video sequence. Press the same keys again to close the jog dial. You can also

press the “Alt” and “Enter” keys together to switch between the normal display and full screen display

at any time when the program is under the normal display mode.

For detailed information about each setting, please refer to Conﬁguration > Advanced > Motion Detection in the section

titled “Using the DCS-3420 With an Internet Browser” (page 30).

Next, run the IP surveillance program. Click on the Conﬁgurations button and select Scheduler.

In the Primary Schedule you can choose either Once (for one time recording) or Every Day (for scheduled recording).

For example, if you would like to record events every day during a certain time frame, click on the beginning time

and drag your mouse to the ending time. Schedule recording can be conﬁgured by minutes, hours, days, weeks, or

months.

The Secondary Schedule allows you to set a schedule

outside the Primary Schedule. The Secondary Schedule

provides two options to record without a speciﬁed date or

time. You can select Event Mode, which will record whenever

an event is triggered, or Continuous Mode, which will begin

continuously after scheduling settings are saved. You do

not need to set the Secondary Schedule with the Primary

Schedule. To schedule video recording with motion detection,

you can use either the Primary Schedule or Secondary

Schedule, or both.
