The footnotes at the bottom of each slide provide an additional level of information that will describe each option and how it is used. To print handouts with the slide information and the notes: On the print window, from Print What: select Notes Pages .
LOGIN To log in or out, click LOGIN . If logging in, enter the correct credentials and click OK. Change Password Once a valid User Name and Password have been entered, Change Password can be selected to change the selected user’s password. LDAP This allows the use of Active Directory (domain) credentials. This enables users to retain their standard ID and password used at any computer instead of creating separate accounts on the DVR.
Screen Divisions If a screen division is not enough to display all of the cameras, multiples of the same screen division will be present. In the above example, the four channel division labeled 1 will display channels 1-4 and 2 will display channels 5-8. The order in which cameras are displayed can be changed by the DVR administrator. If more than 4 megapixel IP cameras are connected, the live view will be restricted to no more than 4 cameras at any given time to ensure optimal performance. The DVR administrator should be consulted if this restriction needs to be lifted. Full Screen This option will expand the current screen division to hide the software interface. Click the right mouse button to exit full screen mode. Sequence Starts cycling through configured sequences. Configuration of the channels to be included in the auto sequence must be performed by the Administrator in the General setup menu. By default, this button will sequence through each of the screen divisions.
Full Screen Replaces multiplexed view with enlarged view of the selected camera. Double-click or right-click and un-check Full Screen to return to the normal multiplex view. Search in Live Allows fast-forward, rewind, play, pause and frame advance on the selected channel while other channels remain in live view. This can also be accessed by clicking the center mouse button. To return to live, click the center mouse button or right-click and un-check Search in Live . Instant Recording Instant Recording interrupts the current recording setting and begins recording the selected channel continuously at the maximum frame rate allowed in Frame Setup . Double right-click or right click and un-check Instant Recording to return to the normal recording schedule.
Sensor inputs/relay outputs Available on all DVRs. Limited hybrid sensor functionality is offered to allow interaction through some network device sensor inputs. Sensor Input monitoring When a sensor event occurs, the sensor number that has been triggered will be highlighted to the right of SENSOR for the duration of the event. Relay output monitoring/control When the DVR triggers a relay output, the corresponding relay number will be highlighted to the right of RELAY for the duration of the event. Relays can also be manually triggered by clicking on the number of the relay to be triggered.
TV OUT Click OPEN to access the TV Out settings. Click CLOSE to exit the TV OUT CONTROLS menu. Sequencing The Sequence buttons will start the auto-sequence on the corresponding channel. Configuration of the channels to be included in the auto sequence must be performed by the Administrator in the General setup menu. Channel Selection Each TV Out channel lists the available camera numbers to the right. To display a camera on a TV Out channel, Click the desired camera number next to the desired TV Out channel.
Directional Control Click any of the arrows to move the camera in the direction of that arrow. The selected camera is listed in the center of the directional arrows. Zoom Press the – button to zoom out and the + button to zoom in. This control will work for both optical and digital zoom if supported by the camera. Focus Press the – or + buttons to focus in or out. If the selected camera has auto-focus enabled, the focus level may change when the camera is moved. Iris Press the – or + buttons to close or open the iris respectively. Most cameras have an auto-iris function enabled by default, so the iris level may change when the camera is moved. PTZ Controls PTZ Controls offer control of camera functionality other than basic movement options. AUX offers specialty functions offered by a few cameras. Tour 1-2 will start or stop a preset tour. To program the tour, set the desired presets, then assign them to the tour in the camera’s menu (see Advanced PTZ Control on the following slide for more detail). SCAN will initiate a camera’s auto-pan function. PATTERN initiates the camera’s pattern (mimic) tour for cameras that support this function. Presets Select the desired preset number to move to the position saved for that preset. To select a preset number other than 1-10, use the ADVANCED menu at the bottom of the PTZ controller.
Camera Menu If the selected PTZ camera has an on-screen menu, these buttons will allow access and control of that menu MENU opens the menu of a PTZ camera (analog only) SELECT selects an item in an on-screen menu CLOSE Returns to the previous screen in an on-screen menu The directional controls can be used to navigate the menu Preset Controls If the selected camera has pan, tilt or zoom functionality, this section will allow presets to be saved, selected or deleted Enter the number (up to 999) of the desired preset Click SET to save the current camera position to the specified preset Click DELETE to remote the specified preset Click MOVE to move the camera to the specified preset
TV OUT Click OPEN to access the TV Out settings. Click CLOSE to exit the TV OUT CONTROLS menu. Sequencing The Sequence buttons will start the auto-sequence on the corresponding channel.

Sequencing can be enabled by selecting a screen division with multiple views (such as the quad display) and clicking the sequence button.
Current User The user who is currently logged in to the DVR is listed here. It is recommended that users log out when leaving the DVR. The Administrator can program the DVR to automatically log users out after a set amount of time. Remote Users The DVR supports a maximum of 5 connections. iDVR (web viewer) takes one connection (regardless of users connected), and each user logged in via Remote Center or Radius will take a connection. Each of the five dots will light up as an additional connection is taken. Move the mouse over one of the dots for details regarding that connection such as user name, IP address and the time that user connected.

Select Video and Audio Channels Screen divisions can be used to select a set of cameras, or any cameras can be selected by clicking on the corresponding number in the lower left corner. If a single video channel is selected, the audio channel selection will also appear. Playback Controls Once the desired video has been selected, it can be played forward , reverse and frame by frame in either direction.

Key Frame Search OpenEye DVRs only record picture changes between periodic key frames. A new key frame is drawn every 300 frames or if 90% of the image changes. A key frame is a full picture used by the recorder as a reference so it can determine which pixels are changing. The key frame search feature only searches these full frames, which saves a lot of time. If the desired results are not found, search again without Key frame search enabled. Show Detected Image This option shows each relevant picture it finds as they come up. If not selected, the pictures can be reviewed when the search is complete.

AVI/JPEG AVI files offer a method of exporting a single channel of video in a format that will play back on any computer without any special software. JPEG images are a standard image format that will allow a still picture of the current frame to be exported. Digital Signature All standard (AVI or still image) files created receive a digital watermark which can later be used to verify the authenticity of the file using the Digital Signature Verifier utility. The DVR Administrator can provide the digital signature, which is the same as the site code. AVI Duration Before clicking SAVE , move the selected channel to the desired starting point. Enter the duration in seconds. The drop-down list displays preset times up to 100 seconds, but longer periods can be entered manually.
