In the video streams you can specify and configure different profiles for the transmission of image data. The software creates a base profile during installation. Select the type of the video stream. The selected video codec is displayed. MPEG-4/H.264 streaming is manufacturer-specific and is therefore not supported by all cameras. Select the transmission mode. Select the transmission of audio signals. Specify the frame rate (fps) and image quality (as a percentage of the best possible quality) separately for standard and alarm recording. Apply the set values if you want to make further settings. Save the set values to apply the values and conclude input.

Apply the set values if you want to make further settings. Save the set values to apply the values and conclude input.

In the Camera configuration / Digital Outputs select the digital outputs and specify unique names for Name for CLOSED and Name for OPEN.

Select Buttons on the Administration tab. Create a new button, enter the name for the new button and click OK to accept the name.

The event analysis facility gives you an overview of the events that have occurred in the form of a list. Distinctions are drawn between user events, alarm events and system messages. In addition, the camera usage of users can be tracked. To switch to the event analysis facility, click the Event analysis icon on the mode bar. Click a column header in the main window to sort the events in ascending or ascending order on the basis of the column's category (data/time, alarm, description). For filtering the analysis to filter the events on the basis of specified criteria, select the type of event you are searching for on the control bar. You can choose between the following events: Alarms (events that occur), Users (display of events that concern specific users), Camera usage (display of events that concern a specific camera), System messages (display of events that concern specific services). Select the desired events, specify dates and times to define the time period and start the query. Only the events that meet the selected criteria are displayed in the main window.
