Using IP surveillance Software (continued)

Playback Program (continued)

Database path

The most important item in the settings dialog is the database path setting. You must set it to the directory that contains the surveillance database to make the program work properly.

AVI file location

It sets the storing directory when you export AVI files. The exported AVI files will be stored in the sub-directory under the directory you set here with the name of the location you select.

Bitmap file location

It sets the directory to use the for snapshots when exported as bitmap files. These exported bitmap files will be stored in the sub-directory under the directory you set here with the name of the location you select.

AVI Frame rate

This setting changes the color depth of the exporting bitmap file. It is suggested to use more than 16 bits color depth for the best picture quality.

AVI compression mode

Unlike the exporting of bitmap files, only 16 bits of color depth are used to export the AVI file. During the AVI compression mode selection, you can select one of the compression methods that your computer supports to export the AVI file.

Alert window settings

There are three alert windows you can activate during using the monitor program. In the playback program, you can choose whether these alert windows will be shown or not. If you check one window, then you will see that rectangle in green or red color shown in the displaying video sequence.

Modulation mode

The modulation mode should not be changed without knowledge of the various modes . The quality of the video depends on how you recorded the video sequence in the monitor program. If you select the wrong mode, the video shown in the display area will become deformed. If you choose the wrong modulation mode, you may open the settings dialog again, change to the correct mode, and restart the playback program, It should then display properly.
