Main Window

VideoSecurity Running Style

•Normal Window is the default style, that is, VideoSecurity will function as a standard Windows program.

•Always on Top is like a Normal Window except that the main window and con- trol panel is shown always on top of other programs or utilities. You may right click to enable or disable this function at the main window anytime.

•Minimize on Tray lets you hide the main VideoSecurity window. This is useful when you don’t want anyone to know you are monitoring. When this option is selected, the VideoSecurity icon will appear on the taskbar in the lower-right corner of your screen. Whenever VideoSecurity detects a problem, it will run. You may also run VideoSecurity by clicking the icon.

VideoSecurity Working Directory

The VideoSecurity Working Directory is the folder where the utility stores its temporary working and log files. Default is C:\VIDEOSEC. The directory is user- configurable. When VideoSecurity is ran, a sub-directory will automatically be created under the main directory, using the current date and time as the folder name, for example, “1999.11.30_12.30.20” means that VideoSecurity was started on 30 No- vember 1999 at 12:30:20 PM.

IMPORTANT: Do not change the working folder’s name while VideoSecurity is running. Otherwise, a fatal runtime error will occur.

VideoSecurity Detecting Region

Detects all visible area when watchdog function is on

This sets the scan rate. Default is 2 frames/sec. The higher the scan rate, the more accurate is the detection. Higher rates, however, entails a higher CPU usage. Do not use a high rate when you plan to use VideoSecurity while using other applications.

Detects only the area defined by the user when watchdog function is on. Feature will take effect only when VideoSecurity runs the next time
