Using IP surveillance Software
Global Settings
After completing the connection for each remote 802.11g PTZ Internet Camera, we need to
configure some global settings for all the cameras. These include the video database directory,
the usage of the Hard disk, and options for video display.
You can activate the global settings window from “Configuration Menu > Global Settings...”
shown above.
All recording processes will be stopped when activating the global settings window, indicated
by a warning window popped up in advance to keep you informed.

Directory Settings:
Snapshot directory
The directory for storing the snapshot in *.bmp format from video channels of
the monitor tool and the playback tool, which is shown on page 86.
Recording directory
The directory for storing the recorded video data from remote video
channels.
Scheduler directory
The directory for storing the default and user-customized plots for the recording
schedule 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 usage of the database has reached
your limitation. 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 file in Windows.

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

This section depicts, in detail, how to manipulate the monitor tool.
Using the Monitor Program
Connection of the DCS-6620G
Channel:
Once you have the privilege to connect to the
DCS-6620G
, 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-6620G
yet.
Green
The green light means the
DCS-6620G
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-6620G
, the light of the
corresponding channel will blink once the motion event is triggered.
