REAL-TIME Event Monitoring

Once the Client Emergency Agent has been activated, a motion or alarm event detected by a linked camera on a DX8100 server will cause a pop-up window to display a still image of the event. In addition to real-time monitoring of events, all event notifications sent to the client will be logged for future viewing.

SETTING THE CLIENT EMERGENCY AGENT LISTEN PORT

If necessary, you can change the network port used by the Client Emergency Agent.

To change the port:

1.Click the Port Setting button. The Emergency Agent Listen Port dialog box opens.

2.If necessary enter a new port number (default port number is 9004).

NOTE: The port number must be an integer between 5000 and 6535. You should keep the default port setting unless there is a conflict on your network. Consult your network administrator before changing network port settings.

3.Click OK.

VIEWING PREVIOUSLY LOGGED EVENTS

Over time, the Client Emergency Agent will accumulate event information in a list. This list can be searched, and still images of previously logged events can be viewed.

To view previously logged events:

1.Select a DX8100 Series HVR from the Server list.

2.Select a start date to mark the first date to begin searching logged events.

Setting the start time earlier than the first time you began using the Client Emergency Agent will result in no events appearing in the list.

3.Select an end date to mark the last date to search for logged events.

4.Select the type of event (motion, alarm, or video) to search.
