The video surveillance subsystem allows video monitoring (event video component viewing) and video recording (event video component recording) by providing:

1. multiple video camera images simultaneously displayed on a PC screen (multiple windows displayed on a single monitor and multiple monitors used on a single physical PC screen);
2. priority-oriented displaying of active and alarm cameras video stream;
3. flexible split screen configuration, including the number of windows on the monitor;
4. colour coding of the camera state in the window (Armed, Alarm, Recording);
5. image burn-in option in the surveillance window: current time/date, camera ID and name;
6. displaying of alarm notification window;
7. image scaling;
8. automatic or manual windows slide show;
9. video recording can be performed:
   
   1. if an alarm event is detected;
   2. by Operator command;
   3. pre- and post-alarm event recording;
   4. pre-alarm event recording with post-alarm recording by Operator command.
10. single video frames storage and exporting;
11. freeze frame selection and viewing, without interrupting the video recording;
12. audio- and video-archives management;
13. remote access to audiovisual streams from any workstation with both a local and remote archive recording option;
14. viewing archive recordings with search and retrieve options on time, event type, camera ID criteria;
15. synchro playback of footage recorded by several cameras;
16. image processing option (digital zooming, image sharpening and contrast maximization, dynamic outlining of moving objects, removal of image fluttering);
17. web interface-based surveillance;
18. use of various types of intelligent motion detectors (motion detectors, face detector, lost items detector, focusing detector, video signal stability detector, background change detector, camera tampering, infrared detector);
19. use of independent detector zones;
20. detector masking.
