5.2 Using ASUS VideoSecurity

The 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:

The last two detected snapshot image files from the video captured stream (saved into a access file named watch dog.mdb). Any image processing or editing software can then be used to view, modify, or distribute them.

5.2.1 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 background, 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 conditions, therefore it is necessary to tune the parameters in VideoSecurity Setup Wizard to get the best detection results.
