To configure the visualization of video frames and video clips which are received with alarms (see Viewing video data on alarms), it is necessary to do the following:

Note.

These settings do not affect the acquisition of video data by the Search in Archive interface, except for the AVI-files player parameter (see Request for video clips from objects).

To configure the reaction to receipt of still frames and video:

  1. Go to the configuration panel for the Server of Control object.
  2. Click the Snapshot/Video button. A window opens, allowing configuration of the application response to receipt of still frames and video.
  3. If you want for received still frames to be opened:
    1. Select the Show received image check box (1).
  4. If you want for received video to be played back:
    1. Select the Playback received clip check box (2).
    2. In the AVI-files player field, specify the path to the program used to playback the AVI files (3).

  5. If snapshots and videos only from sites belonging to specific owners are to be available for specific users, then set the filter by owners:

    1. Click the Filter… button (4).

    2. The Filter by owners window appears. The list of available user-owner pairs is on the left, the list of selected ones is on the right.

      Note.

      The list of owners is set on the Control Panel (see Owner Panel interface).
      Users and their rights are configured in the Users tab of the System settings dialog box (see Configuring the Monitoring interface object).

    3. Move the pairs between the lists using the <- and ->buttons.
    4. When the list of user-owner pairs is formed, click the Apply changes and close button.
  6. Selected pairs of users and owners are displayed in the table (5).
  7. Click OK (6).

Configuration of the application reaction to receipt of video or still frames is now complete.
