Video, camera mapping and motion detection

Enable video channels

Only when the video source is "Enable", the related link will be displayed in the main page. There are four buttons for “Image setting”, “Camera setting”, “Motion detection” and “Privacy mask” regarding to each video channel. The details are described in later paragraphs. The video “Modulation” can be automatically detected by the system or manually selected by administrators. Administrators can choose any video channel to be “Default video source” shown in the main page when users connect at the first time.

Adjust image settings

"Time stamp" and "Text on image" will be enclosed in image for reference. The timestamp is captured from date and time of Video Server that is maintained by an on-board real-time clock. "Color" setting is independent of the connected camera and “B/W” option can speed up the encoder a little. “Default quality” option here will be the default quality when users first connect to Video Server. “Default size” option here will be the default size of video window when users first connect to Video Server. To customize for different camera, administrators can adjust "Brightness", "Contrast", "Hue" and "Saturation" for video compensation of each channel. While adjusting, administrators can click on “Apply” to check prior to “Save” the setting in memory. If the adjustment is not good, administrators can click on “Restore” to restore the original settings without change. To facilitate the settings of four video channels, administrators can click on “Save all” then every setting in this channel will copy to other channels. Note that the “Text on image” may need to change for each channel. After configuration done, click on “Close” to close this window. If parameters are changed without saving, they will be used until the next system startup.

Configure attached motorized camera

In addition to configuring PTZ camera driver in Camera Control page, administrators have to define the relationship between video channel and camera. If there is any PTZ camera attached, administrators should select the “Camera type” as “PTZ camera”, set the attached interface and the ID of the PTZ camera. The ID is specific to the camera and necessary for multiple camera control. Refer to the manual of camera for ID settings. After clicking on “Save”, the preset function will appear in the lower half of window. There are up to twenty positions can be memorized. Administrators can move the camera and then enter the position name and save. The old “Preset position” can also be pulled down to delete.
