2-2-6. Right-click Commands

Left-click to select a camera. Right-click to display the selection menu.

1. Camera information: Click to display camera name, resolution, codec, or frame rate on the view cell. The information will display on the upper left corner of a view cell.
2. Auto adaptive stream: Default is enabled. The Auto adaptive stream automatically polls a video stream of a smaller resolution in order to reduce the streaming efforts. For example, when a view cell is placed in a 3x3 monitor layout, it may not be necessary to stream the video in its full resolution. In a full view, the system displays a video in its full resolution. Due to the size of view cells on your monitor, when in a multi-cell layout, the system automatically polls the camera for a smaller resolution stream.

The Auto adaptive stream feature can be disabled if you prefer consistent display resolution.

1. Fit screen with ratio: The NVR server automatically optimizes the display camera view cells. However, you can still select this option to display the camera's original aspect ratio: for example, the original video feed can be 4:3. Without the fit screen, every camera's image will be expanded to fill the view cell.
2. Show tool bar: You can hide the tool bars by deselecting this option.
3. Show timestamp: You can hide the time stamp bars by deselecting this option.
4. Log in: Log in to enable system configuration.

Video

The Video window allows you to configure all video streams (the no. of stream available can be different for different models). You can configure the following:

1. Codec: video compression codec in H.264, MPEG-4, or MJPEG. Note that MPEG-4 is not supported for Liveview.
2. Frame size: video resolution. Note that due to the limited CPU resources, you may not be able to change the resolution to a very high value, e.g., 5MP in the 1920x1920 resolution.
3. Maximum frame rate: the highest frame rate.
4. Intra frame period: How often an I-frame will be inserted into the video stream.
5. Smart Stream II: Some newer camera models come with Smart Stream features. Please refer to the next page for detailed information.
6. Video quality: You may either select Constant bit rate or Fixed Quality as the defining rules for video transmission:

Constant bit rate Places a packet size threshold on video frames; This guarantees the frame rate per second performance, yet image quality can be compromised if bandwidth is not sufficient in your network environment.

Fixed Quality Guaranteed video quality, and to ensure image quality, some frames may be dropped when bandwidth is not sufficient.

When done with the configuration, click the Apply button.

■ Dynamic Intra frame period

High quality motion codecs, such as H.265, utilize the redundancies between video frames to deliver video streams at a balance of quality and bit rate.

The encoding parameters are summarized and illustrated below. The I-frames are completely self-referential and they are largest in size. The P-frames are predicted frames. The encoder refers to the previous I- or P-frames for redundant image information.

PIPPPPPPPI PPPPPPPI

H.264/265 Frame Types

By dynamically prolonging the intervals for I-frames insertion to up to 10 seconds, the bit rates required for streaming a video can be tremendously reduced. When streaming a video of a static scene, the Dynamic Intra frame feature can save up to 53% of bandwidth. The amount of bandwidth thus saved is also determined by the activities in the field of view. If activities occur in the scene, firmware automatically shortens the I-frame insertion intervals in order to maintain image quality. In the low light or night conditions, the sizes of P-frames tend to be enlarged due to the noises, and hence the bandwidth saving effect is also reduced.

Streaming a typical 2MP scene normally requires 3\~4Mb/s of bandwidth. With the Dynamic Intra frame function, the bandwidth for streaming a medium-traffic scene can be reduced to 2\~3Mb/s, and during the no-traffic period of time, down to 500kb/s.

■ Smart codec effectively reduces the quality of the whole or the non-interested areas on a screen and therefore reduces the bandwidth consumed.

You can manually specify the video quality for the foreground and the background areas.

Smart stream II ✓ Dynamic intra frame period (Help) ✓ smart_codec: Mode: Manual Manual window setting Quality priority (Help) The user can adjust the quality balance between ROI (Region of interest) and non-RCI area. Moving the selector to the right side gives more quality priority on ROI area, whereas moving the selector to the left side gives more quality priority on non-RCI area. Example:

Slide bar to the right - higher quality in the ROI areas

Slide bar to the left - higher quality in the non-ROI areas.

Select an operation mode if Smart codec is preferred.

- Auto tracking: The Auto mode configures the whole screen into the non-interested area. The video quality of part of the screen returns to normal when one or more objects move in that area. The remainder of the screen where there are no moving objects (no pixel changes) will still be transmitted in low-quality format.

- Manual: The Manual mode allows you to configure 3 ROI windows (Region of Interest, with Foreground quality) on the screen. Areas not included in any ROI windows will be considered as the non-interested areas. The details in the ROI areas will be transmitted in a higher-quality video format.

As illustrated below, the upper screen may contain little details of your interest, while the sidewalk on the lower screen is included in an ROI window.

(TCP-V) 2013/6/3 11:31:24 non-interested ROI_0 ROI New Restore Close Save

As the result, the lower screen is constantly displayed in high details, while the upper half is transmitted using a lower-quality format. Although the upper half is transmitted using a lower quality format, you still have an awareness of what is happening on the whole screen.

non-ROI: lower-quality ROI: higher-quality

- Hybrid: The major difference between the "Manual" mode and the "Hybrid" mode is that:

In the "Hybrid" mode, any objects entering the non-interested area will restore the video quality of the moving objects and the area around them. The video quality of the associated non-interested area is immediately restored to normal to cover the moving objects.

In the “Manual” mode, the non-interested area is always transmitted using a low-quality format regardless of the activities inside.

Quality priority: (Help)

- Quality priority: Use the slide bar to tune the quality contrast between the ROI and non-interested areas.

The farther the slide bar button is to the right, the higher the image quality of the ROI areas. On the contrary, the farther the slide bar button to the left, the higher the image quality of the non-interested area.

In this way, you may set up an ROI window as a privacy mask by covering a protected area using an ROI window, while the remaining screen become the non-interested area. You may then configure the non-interested area to have a high image quality, or vice versa.

You should also select the Maximum bit rate from the pull-down menu as the threshold to contain the bandwidth consumption for both the high- and low-quality video sections in a smart stream.

4-3. Buzzer - The buzzer is sounded on the occurrence of the event. The buzzer tones are categorized into: Critical (1 long, 1 sec interval) Major (1 long 2 shorts, 1 sec interval), Normal (3 shorts, 2 sec interval), Minor (2 shorts, 2 sec interval), and Notify (2 very shorts) depending on the importance of an event. Select a Buzzer modulation from the drop-down list. A long tone has a duration of 1 second, while a short tone 0.5 second. A very short tone lasts only for 0.1 second.

Select how many times the buzzer tones will be repeated on the occurrence of an event.

Status 2. Trigger 3. Action 4. Schedule Copy action from: FDB13SH_DI_trigger Action type: Butter Buzzer severity: Normal Repeat times: 10 Abort

If events of different importance are issued at the same time, e.g., one major and one minor event, system will ignore the minor event and sound the buzzer tone for the major event only. The buzzer can be sounded either by the Alarm actions or the system events. If Alarm actions and system service events occur at the time, Alarm actions have the higher priority.

If multiple Alarm actions occur, the currently-sounded events can be depleted by the new event.

There are conditions that the system will sound the buzzer, and the conditions are not configurable.

1. Disk failure - missing drives or SMART detected failures.
2. Disk full - the free space is too small for recording tasks.

4-4. FTP - Snapshots from specified cameras can be uploaded to an FTP site on the occurrence of an event. Enter the FTP site address in the dotted-decimal notation, e.g., 159.22.151.20. Enter the login name and password for the user account. You can enter a directory name you prefer on the FTP site. The server port default is 21, a different number between 1025 and 65535 can also be assigned.

The snapshot thus delivered has a size of 320x240 pixels.

If authentication is not applied, login will proceed using the [anonymous] account. The file names of the snapshot jpeg files will look like this:

[MAC]_[DATE]_[TIME]_[CAMERA_INDEX].jpg - If similar files already exist, an additional index number will be added to the end of file name.

FTP server error (error code)

If the FTP backup errors occur, the system will retry the connection every 5 minutes until the connection is remade or cancelled. Error messages will display on every failed attempt. For errors not related to connection problems, retry takes place every 3 seconds for 5 times for each recording file. Error messages will display on every failed attempt.

In the event of backup failures, failures will be recorded into system logs. The possible causes can be:

1. The previous backup is not finished when the succeeding backup starts, due to very slow upload speed or network problems.
2. The on-going sheduled backup is cancelled.
3. Errors occur on the storage volume while the backup is taking place. For example, when the hard disk is disconnected, formatted, or the system detects an unconfigured volume.
4. Path errors. The destination directory does not exist.

When finished with the network settings, click on the Apply button.

A proceeding backup can be manually cancelled.

Settings - Service

By default, the NVR service and video streaming are accessed via HTTP port 80 and RTSP port 554. You can designate a different port number if the need arises. Usually it is not necessary to change these ports. HTTPS encrypted connection is enabled by default.

HTTP port: 80 HTTPS port: 443 RTSP port: $54 CMS & Viewer: Allow access This password is only for CMS connection, Viewer login account is the same as NVR Port: 3454 CMS password: Reset

Instead of a web console, you can also access the NVR and the subordinate cameras using the iViewer and VIVOTEK's VAST software. The NVR can be managed as one of the sub-stations in a hierarchical device structure.

Set up a password for access from the VAST server before you can join the NVR to a VAST centralized management configuration. For access from the iViewer, you log in using the same user name and password for the login to the NVR.

Below is the screen showing the sub-station recruitment process from a VAST server.

3-5. POS

This window allows the integration of a customized POS machine with the NVR. The benefits of NVR POS integration benefits include:

1. POS exception report that includes item void, bill void, abnormal bill clear, customer returns, contents changed after sale, unmatched amount of products in stock, unusual transactions in a short time, aborted bill attempts.
2. Exception report with video.
3. Managing the sales of retail goods and record the transactions.
4. The register acquires the information of members and products from each transaction, then sends data to a POS server (for management and later analysis). POS should be able to list abnormal situations and notify the manager
5. Disputes between cashiers and customers can be resolved with video evidence.

Note that the integration between NVR and a POS machine requires management of POS data. Please contact VIVOTEK for the supported POS machines.

To configure the association with a POS machine.

1. Enter a name for the POS machine and the machine/server's IP address. The default port number, 23, need not be changed.
2. Select a related camera, e.g., one that has its field of view covering the checkout area.
3. Select a data directory, a storage volume, where transaction data will be kept.
4. Enter the transaction details that will be highlighted on the live view window. For example, you can choose to highlight the amounts larger than a preset number, >\$1000, or enter the item name. You can enter multiple highlighting criteria.

POS name 1 Name: POS name 1 IP: 192.168.6.151 Port: 23 Related camera: 09 - Camera 05 Data directory: Volume 1 Keep transaction data: 60 day(s) Highlight transaction details on Liveview Fonts "Timer" for each keyword All >1000 All pineapple beer candy whisky +Play Cancel

IMPORTANT:

1. Before operating the NVR, make sure you have properly installed hard drives and configured the storage volumes. Otherwise, you will not be able to operate some of the system's functionality.
2. Since the NVR system comes with 32-bit plug-ins for screen control, if your PC runs a default 64-bit IE browser and you manually enter the NVR's address on the browser, your browser session may malfunction. Instead, if you double-click on the discovered NVR on the IW2 utility, a 32-bit IE browser will open.
3. When you log in to the Liveview or Playback interface to stream a live or recorded video, install the ActiveX plug-ins. If it does not prompt when you log in, install plug-ins when you try to playback a recorded video. You may then need to re-start the IE browser console.

Note that not every camera supports the PiP function.

NOTE:

The Talk function in the two-way audio is currently not supported.

9. Volume controller:

The volume control takes effect when audio input from the network camera is available. Audio is heard only from a focused window, one that you selected by a mouse click from the Liveview panel. Some network cameras do not come with an embedded microphone, and its audio is disabled by system default. The actual sound level is also dependent on the system volume of the PC having a web console with the NVR.

The sound volume configuration will not be preserved when a camera is removed from a view cell, web console is restarted, or when the Liveview layout is re-configured.

10. Fisheye display modes:

A view mode selector icon appears in a view cell of a fisheye camera. You can click to select a viewing mode. The viewing modes are illustrated as follows:

10 (Original view)

10 View (Original View) 180° Hemispheric

1P (Panoramic view)

graph LR
    A["Space Station Image"] --> B{Scroll Transition}
    B --> C["Horizontal Scroll Interface"]
    C --> D["Mouse Interaction with Swipe to scroll horizontally"]

1R (Regional view)

1R View (Single Regional View) Zoom in/out & all-directional navigation control Zoom In Zoom Out

The 1R mode (or rectilinear) provides access to one image section within the hemisphere. You can zoom in or out (using the mouse wheel or PTZ panel) or travel through to other areas within the hemisphere using simple mouse clicks and drags. A single click on a particular object can bring the object to the center of your view window. Click and hold down the left mouse button, and you can swipe the view both horizontally and vertically.

Note that if your fisheye mounting type is set to the Wall Mount type, your screen control in the view cell will be limited to 90° pan and tilt. Make sure your mounting type and camera settings have been properly configured.

Because fisheye lens can cover a wide surveillance area, you can insert a fisheye camera into multiple view cells, and let different regional views display in these view cells. In this way, you can have a glimpse of multiple areas of interest, and the configuration of these different view windows will be preserved when you save your layout settings.

4-2-6. PTZ panel

The PTZ panel takes effect for cameras that come with mechanical PTZ functions. It does not support digital PTZ functions. To utilize its functions, select a view cell populated by a PTZ camera, such as a speed dome.

Depending on the individual functions that come with PTZ cameras, some functions will not be available for every cameras. For example, the zoom controller will not apply for a PTZ camera that comes without a mechanized zoom module, such as PD8136 and PT8133.

PTZ Pan/Tilt controller Zoom controller Zoom Focus controller Focus Stop Auto pan/patrol controller Preset location selector

Listed below are the camera models and the types of supported PTZ controls:

Model (series) P	Pan/tilt controller	Preset location Zoom controller Focus controller Auto			Pan/Patrol controller
PD Yes Yes No No Yes
VS (VS8100 and 8102)	* Depends Depends Depends Depends No

Auto pan/patrol controller: These buttons provides pan and patrol functions provided that preset locations have been configured on the camera. For a speed dome camera, the pan command tells the camera to continuously pan 360 degrees until it is stopped by a user command. For PZ or PT series cameras, the pan action only takes place once to cover reachable areas.

Stop Patrol

The Stop button ends a pan or patrol tour.

4-2-7. Alarm panel

To receive alarms from cameras, you need to configure alarm triggers in the Settings > Alarm configuration window (see page 84). Network cameras' digital inputs, digital outputs, or motion detection can all be used to detect conditions in external environments. When the alarms are triggered, you can configure certain kind of actions to take place in response to the alarms, such as:

1. recording the immediate image,
2. sending an Email,
3. sounding the buzzer,
   4, sending snapshots to an FTP server,
4. sending event messages to web server,
5. moving camera lens to a preset location,
6. triggering a camera digital output.

The alarm panel displays the latest 10 alarm entries with the latest alarm on top of the list. The alarm list keeps up to 200 events. Older events will be erased if the number exceeds 200.

Alarm3 2.Camera 2-PD8136 Source: Motion 1/24/2013 4:18:34 PM

The alarm panel is polled every 10 seconds. A mouse hover on an alarm entry displays full information of the event.

Note that multiple alarms can be triggered by one incident. See page 84 for how to configure the alarm settings.

If an event is configured with a recording action, there will be a play button to the left of the alarm message.

The alarm playback window will begin playback of a footage taken 10 seconds before the occurrence of an alarm. The playback of an alarm-triggered recording will normally last for one minute. If, however, you configured a shorter pre- and post-alarm recording time, your alarm recording may be slightly shorter. The default for pre- and post-alarm buffer time are 5 seconds and 20 seconds. Up to 300 seconds post-event recording is supported.

Click and read a text-only alarm will turn off the alarm icon . The alarm icons indicate unread alarms. The number of unread alarms will be listed on the title bar.

Move your cursor over an alarm with a recorded footage. The Play button will become available.

The screen elements of the Playback window are described as follows:

Item Name Description
1	Camera List Provides a glimpse of all cameras that have recorded data. Basic information is also provided along with a screenshot.
2	Layout contents Provides functions to extend, rotate, redo the layout, and the synchronous playback.
3	Logo & Menu	Provides access to thePlayback and System Settings utilities, as well as system time and logout function.
4	Playback panel Displays the playback functions. Snapshot, bookmark, and export functions are also available on individual view cells.
5	Alarm panel	Reports alarms transmitted via cameras' DI connections or those by the Motion Detection, etc.
6	Calendar	Shows when the recording took place, and thus enables users to quickly locate a specific part of recording in history.

4-3-1. Camera List Panel

The camera list displays the 8 recruited cameras by the sequential numbering order you configured in the System Settings window on page 63. The elements in the Camera list on a Search recording clips window are identical to those on a Liveview window. Please refer to page 125 for details on the Camera list panel.

There are two key differences between the Camera List on Liveview and that on the Playback window:

1. Users can not click and drag a camera thumbnail to a playback view cell.
2. A double-click on a camera does not display video in a view cell. A double-click displays a calendar where days with recorded videos are shown.

To begin playback and search for past recordings,

1. Double-click on a camera.
2. The Calendar panel will display the days video recording actually took place. And those days will be highlighted by a blue background (as the 25th and 28th in the screen below.)

4-3-4. View Cells in Search Recording Clips

The view cells in Liveview and Playback windows are similar. Their differences are listed as follows:

1. 4 simple layout types are supported as previously described.
2. The information bar displays camera index and video time information only.
3. The Play and Pause buttons are not available on the Tool bar. One Export function is added on a playback view cell.

The functional buttons on an individual view cell are described as follows:

Buttons Description
	Exports a section of the video into a 3GP or Windows exe file. The length of exported video is configurable to 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes.
	Adds a Bookmark (that saves a short description and a one-minute footage from the current feed)
	Takes a snapshot.
	Removes camera from the view cell.

	Timeline zoomer. Use the zoomer to zoom in for more precise skimming.
	Timeline slider thumb. Click and drag this thumb button to move along and reach a specific point in time. A click on the time line will also work.

The time line shows the length of existing recording taken on a specific time span. You can use the timeline zoomer to scale down the span of time. For example, if the time span is reduced to 1 hour, then each section on the time line represents 15 minutes of recording. The total time span of a timeline starts from the minimal of 4 minutes, 20 minutes, 40 minutes, 1 hour, and up to a maximum of 24 hours.

In the Synchronous play mode, a change to the zoomer will be reflected by all synchronously playing view cells.

Chapter Six Operation

IMPORTANT:

1. Before operating the NVR, make sure you have properly installed hard drives and configured the storage volumes. Otherwise, you will not be able to operate most of the system's functionality.
2. Since the NVR system comes with 32-bit plug-ins for screen control, if your PC runs a default 64-bit IE browser and you manually enter the NVR's address on the browser, your browser session may malfunction. Instead, if you double-click on the discovered NVR on the Shepherd or IW2 utility, a 32-bit IE browser will open.

6-1-1. Placing Cameras into the Layout

Legends and definitions of icons on the layout panel have been described on page 127.

It is presumed that you have properly inserted all network cameras in your deployment as previously described on page 64. All 8 cameras should be listed on the Camera list.

Please note that ND8312 supports 8 channels, the ND8212W 4 channels.

Camera list Camera list Layout Layout contents Alarm No alarm

Note that layout design can only be performed by the system administrator.

To begin the design of your layout,

1. Select a layout pattern by a single click. The options are: 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 1+5, 1+3, 1P+6, 2P+3, 3V. Since ND8212W supports 4 channels, some of the view cells in the multi-cell layouts will not be available.

Layout ① ③ DI, DO 1 1

1. Click and drag cameras from the Camera list to empty cells on your layout. Repeat the action until you placed all your cameras into the layout. You may also double-click on a camera's thumbnail to fill it into the first unoccupied view cell.

NOTE:

Only an administrator can alter the display modes of fisheye cameras. Although ordinary users can make changes to a regional view, his changes will not be preserved after a console is re-started.

In addition to fisheye cameras, if a camera has a wide field of view, you may also display its different fields of view in multiple view cells. Some view cells may also contain a PiP view that is digitally zoomed.

The fisheye mode button is available on the view cell where you inserted a fisheye camera. When a regional view is displayed, the shooting angle and image orientation is kept with the layout. See page 136 to see more about fisheye viewing modes.

Interior view of a tiled room with a circular ventilation grille and a camera interface (no readable text or symbols)

1. When you are done with the current layout design, i.e., the user layout 1, click Save to preserve your settings. This message prompts on the screen whenever any change is made to the current layout.

Layout Layout content has been changed. Do you want to save into user layout 1? Save Cancel

1. You can create more user layouts by mouse-overing the user layout button. You may create more user layouts for different purposes, such as for the use of different users, or playing different views of a camera on multiple view cells.

Layout 1 1 User layout 1 2 3 4 Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4

If users were created and some cameras are excluded from their access, a user may log in and see the locked-on cells as shown below:

No permission You don't have permission to access settings page, redirect to Liveview page.

A user who has limited access rights may still re-arrange the layout of view cells. However, his configuration change will not be saved after he leaves the current console.

NOTE:

By default, every users or administrator logs in to the Live view window to the last layout page he visited. The last layout page a user visited during the previous console becomes the default layout.

6-1-2. PTZ and Other Screen Controls

Note that the PTZ control panel only applies when you select a view cell with a camera that comes with mechanical PTZ functions. Currently the e-PTZ function is not supported by the NVR system.

With a PTZ camera, the buttons on the PTZ panel become functional when you mouse over its GUI elements. For all compatible cameras and exerting Zoom, Focus, and Patrol functions, please refer to page 138 for details. The Zoom function, for example, requires a camera that comes with a motorized zoom module, and may not be applicable to every PTZ camera.

PTZ Move right Zoom Focus Stop

The preset positions and the patrol functions require the associated configuration on the cameras via a web console. Before you make use of these functions, you should set up the preset positions on a web console with the camera. The NVR GUI does not provide the configuration options with PTZ preset positions.

If you have concerns with the display quality and frame rate per second, refer to page 74 for how to configure video feeds for live viewing as well as for video recording. The configuration options can be found in Settings > Camera > Video.

Note that the constant bit rate methodology is applied in this system and it sets an upper threshold on the size of IP packets sent with the video streams. Image quality will be slightly compromised if reaching the ceiling of allowable bandwidth.

To place bookmarks and exert screen controls,

On a focused view cell, you can place a bookmark that saves a short description and a one-minute footage from the current feed. The bookmark is also displayed along with the recorded video, and therefore it is easier to look for a specific moment in time when you need to trace back for a scenario later.

The bookmark function can be executed on a live or recorded stream when you observe a situation from your Live view or Playback window. The precondition of using this function is that the video stream, while you are watching it on the view cell, must be recorded to the NVR at the same time.

To add a bookmark,

1. Click on the button,
2. Enter a short description that can be as long as 120 characters.
3. Click on the + button or simply press Enter on your keyboard.

spotted ① ② ③

To Activate and Deactivate PiP function,

PiP is short for Picture in Picture, a function that provides digital zoom into a live video. When activated, a Global view window will appear at the lower right of the view cell as shown below. You can display only a portion of the complete video frame as an area of your interest. Using a click and drag on the ROI window, you can instantly move to other areas within the video frame.

You can resize the ROI window by a mouse hover on the lower-right corner of the window until the resize mark appears. The default size of the ROI window is 25% of the Global view.

Click on the deactivate button to close the PiP window.

Note that not every camera supports the PiP function. For example, PTZ cameras do not support the PiP feature.

Refer to page 132 for GUI legends and individual functionality.

6-1-3. Audio

Audio is only transmitted through the camera in a view cell that is currently selected. You can manually tune the volume level, mute, or unmute the audio feed through a view cell.

6-1-4. Camera Properties and Controls

You can click on the underlined name entry of a camera on the camera list to open its properties window. Here you can find a short description of the camera name, address, and model name. You can also enable or disable the scheduled or continuous recording set for the camera. Click on their associated icons, 📋, 🔍 to change their recording status.

For a camera that is not performing a continuous recording, you can click on the Manual Recording button, √, to start a manual recording. The recording will stop using the same button.

You can also manually turn on the digital output 🔔, e.g., to trigger an external alarm that is connected to a specific camera.

6-1-5. Alarm Panel

To receive alarms from cameras, you need to configure alarm triggers in the Settings > Alarm configuration window (see page 84). Network cameras' digital inputs, digital outputs, or motion detection can all be used to detect conditions in external environments. You can configure certain kind of actions to take place in response to the alarms: such as

1. recording the immediate image,
2. sends an Email notification,
3. sounds the onboard buzzer,
   4, sends snapshots to an FTP server,
4. sends videos to web server,
5. moves camera lens to a preset location,
6. triggers a camera's digital output.

The operation details of the Alarm panel and Alarm Playback utility have been described on page 140.

To perform synchronous playback:

1. Select a layout from the Layout panel, e.g., a 2x2 layout.
2. Click on the Synchronous playback button.
3. Double-click to select a camera from the camera list. This camera becomes the Master camera.
4. When the Calendar panel appears, click to select a date you prefer.
5. Click and drag other cameras from the camera list to the empty view cells. These cameras will play back videos according to your operation on the Master camera.

Layout 1 2

Note the following when using the Synchronous playback:

1. Only the alarms triggered on the Master camera will be shown. In the Synchronous mode, you can not find the alarms or bookmarks generated for other cameras.
2. The playback speed, selection of video clips, and alarm playback of all cameras are made synchronous.

6-2-4. Export media

To export video clips,

1. Click on the Export media button on the tool bar, while the Playback window is playing a video section of your interest.
