Using IP surveillance Software (continued)
Directory Settings:
Snapshot directory
The directory for storing snapshots in *.bmp format from video
channels of the monitor and playback programs, which is shown
on page 85.
±
Recording directory
The directory for storing the recorded video data from video
channels.
±
Scheduler directory
The directory for storing the default and user-customized
schedules for the scheduled recording of each channel.
±
Record Diskspace Usage Settings:
Cycle Recording
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.
±
Reserved space
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.
±
Alert Sound
You can load a custom *.wav file for the sound of alert triggering.
You can also select from the sound files in Windows.

Modulation Mode
You must select the input signal format (NTSC or PAL) for
displaying the original resolution of video stream from
DCS-5300G
.
±
NOTE: You need to select the input signal format according to the camera
type or CCD module type that is connected to the
DCS-5300G
. Due to the
nature of CMOS sensors (for the
DCS-2000
and
DCS-2100+
), the input signal
format needs to be set to PAL regardless whether the power line frequency
connected is 50 or 60Hz.
Display Options:
In the video displaying frame of each channel, there are two status bars. The
upper bar contains “Camera location” and “time of the remote site.” The lower
bar contains “Connection time” and “Recording time.” 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.

Backup Settings:
Using Backup Settings in the global settings window, you can backup recorded
data from selected cameras to a specified location.
Directory
This is the directory where backup data will be saved. You can
select the location by clicking on the folder icon.
±
Size
You can set the size limit of the data that will be backed up. The
default size limit is 10MB. The maximum value for this setting
depends on the amount of Free Space available on your hard
drive. This value can be found under the “Record Disk space
Usage Settings” section of the global settings window.
±
Backup Location Select
Select the locations to backup by clicking the checkbox next to
the location/camera name. To delete a location, select the location
and click the “Delete” button to the right of the Backup Location
Select window.
±
After you have set your backup settings in the global settings window, you can
backup recorded data by clicking “Backup” in the Configuration Menu, as seen
below:

Using IP surveillance Software (continued)
This section depicts, in detail, how to manipulate the monitor tool.
Using the Monitor Program
Connection of the DCS-5300G
Channel:
Once you have the privilege to connect to the
DCS-5300G
, 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 blue, 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.
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
The video channel is not connected with any
DCS-5300G
yet.
±
Green
The green light means the
DCS-5300G
associated with this
channel number is connected, and the video is monitored in the
video area.
Red
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.
Blink
With the motion detection mechanism set in the
DCS-5300G
,
the light of the corresponding channel will blink once the motion
event is triggered.

Using IP surveillance Software (continued)
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.
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.
