Documentation for Monitoring PSIM 2.0 (english)

You can view the live video and archives of objects in one of the following ways:

  1. Viewing video from a specific camera.
  2. Viewing video from all cameras created at the Agent of Control.
  3. Viewing video from all cameras of the selected partition of control.
  4. Creating user layouts and viewing video from selected cameras that are added to the Partition of control.

Note

For information on how to select cameras for displaying the live and archive video from the Control panel, refer to Administrator's Guide, the Configuring the camera list section.

To select the mode for viewing the live video and archive, right-click the area with the object name.

The context menu with the Video image playback item appears, in which you must select:

  • The camera name for viewing video from a separate camera;

    Note

    The large number of cameras makes it inconvenient for you to select a specific one from the list. To simplify the camera access, use grouping that you can enable using the GroupingCameras parameter of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BitSoft\VHOST\VHostService registry key, the set value of which is specified by the number of cameras in the group. For more information about the registry key, see Vertical solutions. For information on how to work with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry.

  • All cameras to view video from all cameras created on the Agent of Control side;
  • All cameras of partition of control to view video from all cameras of the selected partition of control;
  • Screens to select a layout.

For more information on how to view video, see the corresponding sections.

Note

  • The All cameras menu item is available if the user has no restrictions on viewing some cameras—see Configuring the Monitoring interface object.
  • The All cameras of partition of control menu item is available if the Viewing live video from all cameras (add.) option is enabled in the Monitoring interface object setting.
  • The Video image playback menu item becomes available only after an object connects to Monitoring PSIM for the first time. Before that, this menu item is absent.

The list of cameras corresponds to the list of cameras specified when you configure the Partition Of Control object. Camera names in the context menu, as well as IDs specified in the square brackets, correspond to the camera names and IDs on the Agent of Control.

If you configure Monitoring PSIM in the appropriate way, then after you select the mode of viewing the live video, the warning is displayed, indicating that the video stream transmission can create a serious load on the channel. If you really want to view the live video, click OK in the Warning window. To cancel viewing the live video, click the Cancel button.

Attention!

You can restrict the operator’s access to the camera's functional menu and its items, to the CamMonitor buttons, and to the CamMonitor control via the keyboard and mouse (see Vertical solutions, Monitorng PSIM section; for information on how to work with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry).
