3.7 PTZ Camera Controls

Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras allow navigation to an area of interest and are controlled by the user from the Live

Viewer window. There are three major types of Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras that exist: digital PTZ cameras, IP PTZ cameras and hard-wired PTZ cameras.

Digital PTZ camera control allows users to zoom in on a fixed camera and move within the image without controlling the physical camera itself. Digital PTZ camera control is automatically enabled for all cameras in the live viewer that are not assigned to any other type of camera control. To disable or re-enable the control, right-click the camera in the live viewer, and then select Digital PTZ.The live digital PTZ control works in single-view, multi-view and full-screen mode.

IP PTZ camerasmust be set up individually in theVIGIL Server settings and control the physical camera through a net-work connection to the VIGIL Server.

Hard-wired PTZcamerasare also set up individually in theVIGIL Server settings and control the physical camera through a camera input on the VIGIL Server.

Dropdown Selection Box

This is a menu of all the PTZ cameras configured on the VIGIL Server. Select a camera to load for control.

Pan-Tilt

Use the mouse to click-and-drag the blue dot in the middle of the Pan-Tilt control in the desired direc-tion. The speed at which the cam-era moves increases as the dot is dragged closer to the edge of the circle.

The alternate directional controls are displayed when the selected PTZ camera does not support a full range of motion (i.e. it cannot pan and tilt at the same time), or when the Push- Button Controls option is enabled.

Zoom/Focus/ Iris

Click-and-drag the appropriate slide bar up to increase or down to decrease. The speed at which the camera is adjusted increases as the bar is moved farther from the center of the control.

The >= means “more than or equal to” the value that you input. For example, if the operator >= is used with the value of $20.15, any POS data with the value of 20.15 and higher will be returned. The <= operator means “less than or equal to”, while the = operator simply means an exact value.

Cashier Type in text to search by cashier number or name.

Or/And

Logical operators that will assist in searching with multiple criteria. By default, this is the OR operator, which will match results in any of the used POS data criteria fields. Alternatively, the AND operator will match results in all of the used POS data criteria fields.

Receipt Number Type in text that will match results in Receipt # column. The search results will include 10 seconds before

the start of the receipt and 10 seconds after the end of the receipt.

IDX

Type in text that will match results in IDX column. If the IDX cont ains a receipt number, the Data returned will be that receipt number and all IDX values corresponding to it within one hour. If there is no receipt number for the searched IDX value, the returned results will be based on the timestamp of that IDX. The search results will be +/- 10 seconds from the timestamp of the IDX.

Note: Depending on the recording configuration of your cameras, there may be no footage matching your search criteria.

The following options are available when a POS/ATM data record within the Data Search Results pane is right-clicked:

4.6 Advanced Features

Smart Search

The Smart Search feature refines the loaded video footage based on motion detected within a user-defined region.

To perform a Smart Search, you must first define or “mask” a motion detection region. To do this, click Show Mask and draw on the playback image. Any time a clear area is clicked on, the mask is expanded. Alternatively, when a masked area is clicked on, the mask is removed. Click the Smart Search button to perform the search. Once the search is com-plete, only video frames that contain motion in the masked region will be loaded for playback.

Note:If there is more than one masked region (i.e. two or more disconnected masks), the Smart Search will load video frames that contain motion in any of the regions.

Show Mask Shows/hides the smart search mask.A mask can only be edited when the Show Mask button is latched on.

Mask

Offers some quick options for modifying masks:

Clear – Erases all masks on the image. Select All – Masks the entire image. Invert - Swaps clear and masked areas.

Note: The Show Mask button must be latched on for these options to be available.

Sensitivity

This slider controls the sensitivity of the motion detection algorithm used by the Smart Search function. To the left is less sensitive, requiring larger change in motion; to the right is a more sensitive, detecting smaller movement.

(35)

Smart Search Performs the Smart Search .Video frames that do not contain motion in the masked regions are removed

from the loaded footage. Use the buttons to skip back/forward to the next Smart Search frame.

Reset Removes all Smart Search masks and restores the originally loaded footage.

play-back will return from the sub-range to the fully loaded footage.

View Loads the sub-range for playback. The playback information will indicate that a sub-range is currently

dis-played. All of the playback controls will operate on only the sub-range of footage.

4.7 Authenticating Recorded Video

VIGIL Server embeds a security key in recorded footage for each video frame. These keys can be easily checked to ver-ify that the footage is authentic and has not been tampered with.

Begins the authentication process; a window opens displaying the progress. Depending on the length and location of the video footage, Authentication may take several minutes to complete. You can cancel the authentication at any time by clicking Cancel. Any frames that were processed prior to cancelling have been authenticated. If the video is authentic, the Authentication Complete message will be displayed.

If the video has been tampered with, the authentication will halt at the first damaged frame and provide an error message with the prob-lem frame number.

If Real-Time Authentication (in VIGIL Server Settings | Search tab) is enabled, during playback a large red X is displayed over the frame if the footage does not pass authentication.

5.1 Exporting, Printing, or Emailing Images

Single frame shots can be saved or emailed in either Bitmap (BMP) or JPEG (JPG) format. BMP images retain all of the original image detail, but are typically much larger than JPG images as a result. JPG images are compressed and are typically indistinguishable from the original image when the JPG quality is 70 or greater.

Opens the Export context menu where the file format is selected. The Export button is only enabled when Video Footage is selected in the Playback window.

Still Image

Select Bitmap to save the current frame in bitmap .BMP format.  Select the export destinations and enter a filename.  Click Save when finished or Cancel to exit without saving.

Select JPEG to save the current frame in JPEG .JPG format.  Select the export destination and enter a filename. Additionally, you may select a quality setting for the JPG image by adjusting the slider. Closer to the left side means a lower quality, smaller sized file; further to the right means a higher quality, larger sized file. For the most part, the default compression setting is the best choice. Click Save when finished or Cancel to exit without saving.

E-mail

Select Bitmap or JPEG to E-mail the current frame in .BMP or .JPG format. Enter the email subject, body and recipients.
