(12)

3.2

Camera Layout and Quick Access

Use the buttons in the top section of the Live Viewer side toolbar to select the viewing style. If you have more cameras enabled than can be displayed by the current view settings, you can right-click on the layout icon and select a page of cameras to display.

Software Rendered mode for 32 channel systems has these available viewing options:

Single view mode (1 camera), 2 x 2 mode (4 cameras), 3 x 3 (9 cameras), 4 x 4 (16 cameras), 5 x 5 (25 cameras), 6 x 6 (36 cameras). 2 large w/8 small cameras, 1 large w/12 small cameras. Hardware Rendered mode viewing options vary based on the system model.

To quickly select a camera for Single Live View display mode, click its corresponding number in the Camera Quick Access pad. Camera Quick Access also provides a simple way to check the recording status of each camera, which is communicated through color:

Green: Constant recording mode and is recording.

Blue: Motion recording mode and is recording (motion detected). Red: Alarm recording mode and is recording (alarm triggered).

Yellow: Set to a motion recording mode and is recording (motion currently not detected and will stop after the Post Motion Record time has elapsed).

Uncolored: Camera is currently not recording, but is enabled. Disabled: Camera is not recording and is disabled.

To arrange the cameras within the current view style, right-click on a camera position in the Live Viewer window and select a camera to be displayed from the context menu. Since you cannot display a camera in more than one location, if you selected a camera that is already displayed, it will move the camera feed to the new location.

To remove a camera from the Live Viewer window, right-click that particular camera feed and select Stop. Note: Stopping or changing camera feeds in the Live Viewer window does not affect the recording settings.

When in Software Rendered mode, right-click a camera feed to view the following options:

Copy Copies the current video image to the Windows clipboard. Enlarges the live video feeds to fill the entire PC window.

(13)

Stop Stops the video feed from being displayed, but does not stop recording.

Reset to Default Resets all cameras to their default position for the current camera layout.

Camera Control Opens the Camera Control pad that allows users to control PTZ cameras.

Digital PTZ

Enable Digital PTZ to use PTZ control features within a fixed camera image. Zoom in and then use the PTZ control to pan and tilt within the fixed image. This option is available and enabled by default for all cameras that do not have alternative camera control setup in the camera settings. Relays Interfaces to the configured relays. Relays can be toggled on or off, corresponding to closed and

open states respectively.

# - Camera Changes the current video feed on the selected camera. If that video feed was on another camera display, it will move the camera feed to the new location.

3.3

TV Output Switch

With supported hardware, VIGIL Server can display a number of video feeds to analog monitors. Outputs with Multiplexor support can be configured as a multiplexed video output similar to the Live Viewer. The number of analog outputs and multiplex analog outputs varies between models; please check the DVR model specification for details.

Note: Capture Card Types with multiplex analog output features available include:

DVR200X, DVR100X, DVR50X – one monitor output with multiplex support and one monitor output with single camera support

PROSERIES – output cards are available for use with this capture card type, all with multiplex support

The TV Output Switch changes the camera displayed on the monitor by selecting the camera number. If no monitors are selected, click on the desired monitor number before selecting the camera number.

On systems supporting Mux/Analog Out, you can also select the Setup Analog Out Multiplexer menu item, which opens the Analog Out Multiplexer window (see below).

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 cameras must be set up individually in the DVR settings and control the physical camera through a network connection to the DVR.

Hard-wired PTZ cameras are also set up individually in the DVR settings and control the physical camera through a camera input on the DVR.

Dropdown Selection Box

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

Shows/hides additional PTZ camera controls.

Pan-Tilt

Use the mouse to click-and-drag the blue dot in the middle of the Pan-Tilt control in the desired direction. The speed at which the camera 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

To determine which button is which, go into the Windows Control Panel and select Game Controllers, where the device will be listed. Select it and click Properties. Click any button on the joystick and the button number will be highlighted in the resulting window.

Presets

Presets are fixed locations that the camera can save and go to. The presets are stored within the camera for hard-wired PTZ cameras, and in VIGIL Server for digital PTZ cameras.

To save a preset, move the camera to the desired preset location, select the preset number from the drop-down menu and click Save. This will overwrite any presets previously saved to that number.

To move the camera to an existing preset, select a preset from the drop-down menu and click Goto, or click the button with the preset number on it.

Patterns Control the saved pattern of movement for the selected camera. Patterns are stored within the camera.

Select a pattern from the drop-down menu and click Record. Use the other control buttons to move the camera in the desired pattern. Once finished, click Stop. This will overwrite the existing saved pattern. Select a pattern from the drop-down menu and click Run to begin the saved pattern.

specified number of seconds before going to the next preset.

Click Run to activate the tour. The camera will cycle through the presets in the Live Viewer window. The tour can be ended by moving the camera or pressing Stop.

Note: If Export Auditing is enabled, required information must be entered before selecting the destination folder for both images and video exports.

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.
