Watchdog
When enabled, the watchdog circuit on the video capture card is used to verify that VIGIL Server is
responsive. If the software becomes unresponsive, then the watchdog will reboot the DVR. You can
test that the watchdog circuit is functioning by clicking the Test Watchdog button. The DVR should
reboot within a few minutes if the watchdog is functioning correctly. This function only works with
Analog Capture Cards that support this feature. This Feature is not available on NVRs.
Screen Saver Starts the VIGIL screen saver after a set number of minutes of system inactivity have lapsed.
When enabled, the Error Alert window will display if an error is recorded in the Audit Log; this
window will display until the error has been acknowledged by a user.

Thread Watchdog
For systems with advanced video stream freeze detection hardware, enabling this feature will make
VIGIL Server monitor video request threads. If a thread stops responding after the configured
amount of time, it will be restarted. This can help with video signals that tend to freeze.

Warning: Because continuous use of this function will adversely affect DVR performance, enabling
Performance Monitor is not generally recommended.
