Pelco dx8100 manual Using System Logs, Viewing a Log File

USING SYSTEM LOGS

The DX8100 automatically stores system information in a number of log files. Users with Power User or greater permissions can use these files to track system statistics and monitor security. The DX8100 allows you to view its activity log files.

NOTE: If the Log View dialog box displays multiple System On notifications, but does not display any System Off notifications, the unit has failed. Contact Pelco Product Support for more information.

This section describes how to use the system logs and includes the following topics:

•Viewing a Log File on page 177

The log views are available from the DX8100 server’s View menu.
