What are the system requirements for the software?

For 16 channels: Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB RAM, Intel 945 chipset, DirectX 9.0, and Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7. Higher channel counts require more powerful hardware.

How can I schedule recordings?

Go to the Main Console, click the Schedule icon. Choose Day or Week mode, then load a preset mode (e.g., Regular, Office) or manually set recording times and configure the Encoding Options for each camera.

What types of events can be detected?

The system can detect: Signal Lost, General Motion, Foreign Object, Missing Object, Lose Focus, and Camera Occlusion. These are available in the Guard (Pro/Pro Plus) and Search Mode (Playback).

How do I set up motion detection?

In Guard, add a Camera event and select General Motion. Define detection zones by left-clicking and dragging on the image. Adjust Sensitivity and Interval to reduce false alarms. Click Start Simulation to test.

Can I view the camera remotely?

Yes. Use the Live Streaming Server (Config > Network Service) to broadcast live video. Clients can connect via Internet Explorer or the Live Viewer application. For mobile access, use 3GPP, PDA, or iPhone browsers.

How do I back up recorded video?

Open the Backup tool from Config > Backup or DBTools. Select a date and time period, choose cameras, and click Backup. You can save to a folder or burn to CD. The backup includes video and log data.

What should I do if the camera loses focus?

The system can detect Lose Focus events. In Guard, enable the event and adjust sensitivity. You can also manually adjust the camera lens if it supports focus control.

Is there a mobile app for monitoring?

Yes. For Windows Mobile devices, install the PDA/Smart Phone Client from the CD. For iPhones, use the Safari browser to connect to the Live Streaming Server. See Appendix B and C in the manual.
