Video Windows - An Overview

When you open a live or recorded video window, the window size corresponds to the choice you selected on the Video Display tab of the Digital Video Recorder Form. Each window displays a title bar identifying the source of the video, the display, and a dialog box containing the current date and time. The minimize, restore, maximize, and exit options display in the upper right corner of each window.

Resize Window

To resize a window, point to any window frame or corner border and drag a sizing handle to the size window you want to display.

A resized window has a Restore option that restores the window size as it was prior to resizing. Increasing the window size is limited to the size of your monitor screen.

Decreasing the window size is limited to the system default, corresponding to the Small option available on the Video Display tab.

Shortcut Menu

Right-click anywhere on the video window to display a shortcut menu:

Save Position: Each window can be independently moved anywhere on the desktop. Select this option to save the position. If you close the window and reopen, the window opens at the saved position. This feature has been incorporated to facilitate multi-window management for both single and multi-monitor workstation configurations.

Restore Window to Default Size: After resizing, select this option to return the window to the default size corresponding to the choice you selected on the Video Display tab of the Digital Video Recorder Form.

Always On Top: Selection of this option keeps the window in the forefront of all windows displaying on your Secure Perfect workstation.

Save Picture As: When you select this option, an image of the display in the video window is grabbed. The video continues to advance. An additional window opens for you to save the captured image as a .JPG video file. The default file folder may display similar to the following:

c:\Program Files\GE Interlogix\Secure Perfect\Video\untitled.jpg

(If this is a custom installation and the file shares were separated from the Secure Application, the default video folder resides on the File Server.) If you choose, you can navigate to another location and store the file. You can assign additional alphanumeric characters to the file name to assist in identification. The following characters are not permissable:
