Explanations of the
Settings
screen are on the following pages.
Playback Program (continued)
Using IP surveillance Software (continued)
Frame Selection Indicator
The frame selection indicator only appears when you change the display mode
to
Preview Mode
. It appears as a red rectangle surrounding
one of the nine
Event Preview Frames
. Once you select one of these frames, you can control
its play status through the jog dial in 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 click or pull
the indicator on the pull bar to the point you want to see. And the current displaying
video will halt and start to play the video sequence from the point you choose.
If the video sequence has been paused, the display area will show the point
you select without playing. The
Pull Bar
will only function under the normal
display mode.
Settings
After the main window is shown on the screen, you must modify the settings
to make it work properly. Click on the
Settings
button in the system control
tool, and the dialog box appears on the screen as shown below:

Database path
The most important item in the settings dialog is the database path setting.
You must set it to the directory that contains the surveillance database to
make the program work properly.
AVI file location
It sets the storing directory when you export AVI files. The exported AVI
files will be stored in the sub-directory under the directory you set here
with the name of the location you select.
Bitmap file location
It sets the directory to use the for snapshots when exported as bitmap
files. These exported bitmap files will be stored in the sub-directory under
the directory you set here with the name of the location you select.
AVI Frame rate
This setting sets the amount of frames per second that will be used to
convert a saved video into an AVI file.
Change AVI compression mode
During the AVI compression mode selection, you can select one of the
compression methods that your computer supports to export the AVI file.
Alert window settings
There are three alert windows you can activate during using the monitor
program. In the playback program, you can choose whether these alert
windows will be shown or not. If you check one window, then you will see
that rectangle in green or red color shown in the displaying video sequence.
Modulation mode
The modulation mode should not be changed without knowledge of the
various modes . The quality of the video depends on how you recorded the
video sequence in the monitor program. If you select the wrong mode, the
video shown in the display area will become deformed. If
you choose the
wrong modulation mode, you may open the settings dialog again, change
to the correct mode, and restart the playback program, It should then display
properly.

Control panel position
With this setting you can place the Control panel on either the left or the right of
the screen.
Once you change the setting of modulation or Control panel position, you have
to restart the program to for these changes to take effect. If you set the database
path correctly, the video sequence will start displaying in the normal display
mode when you click on the
OK
button.
Normal (Single Frame) Mode
You can enter the
Normal Mode
when you:
•
Change the database path in the settings dialog
•
Change the location selector to another location

Double click on one of the nine frames in the display area under
the preview mode.
Under the single frame mode, you can use all the tools the playback program
provided except the
Page Control
. In this mode, the two labels under the pull
bar show the start and end time of the period individually as shown below:
Histogram Area

Histogram Area
in the single frame mode only shows the event’s occurred
time and the percentage of motion detection with red bars. If you want to access
the
Histogram Area
, you must change the

This color-inverted region will be the new time period the program is going to
display. If you change your mind and don’t want to see that period, you can
cancel it by just pressing the right button of your mouse with the left button still
pressed. If you click on the left button without dragging it, the action will be the
same as clicking on the
Pull Bar
in the same x-axis position. The dark regions
mean there is no video data in that interval. If you click on those regions, nothing
will happen except a warning message.
Preview (Multiple Frame) Mode
You can enter the preview mode only when you change the playback method
selector to
Events Preview
. Preview Mode helps you to identify the objects
triggering the events via not only the time information and the alert percentage,
but also the video preview playing. This allows you to easily examine different
alert situations. Under the
Preview Mode
, the
Pull Bar,
Transducer button
in
Exporting Toolbox
, and the
Display Adjustment Toolbox
are all disabled.
The two labels under the pull bar show the displayed event number and the
total event count individually. There are nine frames in the display area and
these are referred to as “one page”. Each frame displays a 10-second interval
video sequence that contains different events. You can use the
Page Up
and
Page Down
button in the page control to browse the events in the selected
period with nine events per page. And the page status tells you the current
page number and total page count as shown below:

Histogram Area
The
Histogram Area
in the
Preview Mode
displays events that occurred
previously as red bars, which represent the time and value of the event. Currently
displayed events are represented by green bars and the selected event with
blue bars. If you want to access the histogram area, you must change the
Area
Selection Indicator
to the
Histogram Area
. You can select a color-inverted
region by dragging your mouse with the left button pressed.
When you release the left button, the color-inverted region will be enlarged to
the whole
Histogram Area
. This color-inverted region will be the new period
the program is going to display. If you change your mind and don’t want to see
that period, you can cancel it by just pressing the right button of your mouse
with the left button
still pressed. If you click on the left button without dragging
it, the display area will show the event page closest to the point you select. The
dark region means there is no video sequence in that interval. If you click on
these dark regions a warning dialog will appear to inform there is no video
sequence available.
Location Selector
The location selector is a control that lets you select the camera you want to
see. The location information is the same as the location specified in the monitor
program (see
Global Settings
in the
Monitor
program section). If there is
more than one database in the same location, another dialog will appear (see
below). You must select an interval in that dialog. The
Playback
program will
automatically switch to that camera and start displaying.
