ASUS VideoSecurity

Windows 98 Only

NOTE: The ASUS VideoSecurity utility can only be used with the Deluxe/TVR (or models with Video-In/TV-Out) model.

ASUS VideoSecurity lets you detect intruders into your system and environmental changes and monitor a specified location or any incoming visitor. If VideoSecurity detects any deviation from the norm that you set, it may give an error message or not. Regardless of any messages, VideoSecurity will record:

•Any information about the monitored activity and then store these to an event log file. If you have already installed Microsoft Access 97 or later, you may use these event log data and export it as an Access database for further data management and processing.

•The last two detected snapshot image files from the video captured stream (stored as bitmap format). Any image processing or editing software can then be used to view, modify, or distribute them.

Limitations

Because of differences in hardware sensitivity, VideoSecurity may not completely detect all possible errors. Before you execute VideoSecurity, there are some limitations you have to understand so that you can appropriately use it.

•Due to changing temperatures, the captured image of some CCDs will be twisted, which may give a wrong detection.

•If the features (e.g., color, luminance) of the object are similar to that of back- ground, the object may not be detected clearly.

•The CCD cannot capture the object smoothly and immediately when an object moves too fast.

VideoSecurity is designed for the widest environments possible and error condi- tions, therefore it is necessary to tune the parameters in VideoSecurity Setup Wizard to get the best detection results.

Setup WizardSetup Wizard guides you through setting up the VideoSecurity features.

1.To open Setup Wizard, click the Start button, and then point to Pro- grams, ASUS Video Security, and then click Setup Wizard. The Video Security Setup Wizard dialog box appears.
