The Control panel is intended for quickly assessing the current status of video surveillance components.

Each object has a corresponding graphic element shown as a rectangle. It contains the object's identification area (at the top) and a configurable number of alarm indication buttons arranged in groups by source type:

  1. Communication Channel.
  2. Hardware.
  3. Videosystem software.
  4. Size of archives.
  5. Cameras.
  6. ACS.
  7. SFA.
  8. Detections.
  9. Extra 1.
  10. Extra 2.

If the Owners panel is enabled (see Configuring the Monitoring interface object section of Administrator's Guide), then only the objects that belong to the selected owner are displayed on the Control panel.

The number of shown alarm groups can change from 4 to 10, depending on the Monitoring object settings on the Interfaces tab.

Four alarm groups:

Ten alarm groups:

You can learn the meaning of the icons by clicking the button (Information about symbols). When you click this button, the Decoding window opens.

By default, if the MonitorSSTV database has not been updated for more than 30 minutes, for example, due to a Data Loader malfunction or if the communication module (license restrictions) has stopped working on the Server of Control, then:

  1. On the Server of Control, all objects will be covered with diagonal lines. When you hover over such an object, a contextual prompt will appear: ATTENTION! Information in DB is outdated! Last update time: <Date and Time of the last upload to the database>. The CUT will flash red (see Current Update Time).
  2. On the Central Server of Control, only those objects that belong to the Servers of Control with outdated info will be covered with diagonal lines. When you hover over such an object, a similar contextual prompt will appear. However, the CUT will remain blue and will not flash.

Note

To change the waiting time for updating the MonitorSSTV database, after which the corresponding indication on the Server of Control/CSC will appear, it is necessary to set the required time value in minutes for the LastLoadThreshold registry key (for details, see Registry keys reference guide, for more information about working with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry).

If there is no connection between the Central Server of Control and the Server of Control, or if there is a problem in data exchanging with the FTP server (for example, an incorrect password), then only those objects that belong to the Servers of Control with this problem will be covered with diagonal lines. When you hover over such an object, a contextual prompt will appear: ATTENTION! No connection with Server Of Control or error of data exchange with FTP server! The CUT will remain blue and will not flash.
