Live Mode PTZ Features
When using the Video Viewer window in live mode with a PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) camera, PTZ
navigation controls are available. Any preset positions defined for the camera can be selected from
the Presets list. With the navigation buttons, you are able to move the camera in the required
direction. Clicking the round middle button will take the cameras to its home position. With the plus
and minus buttons, you are able to zoom in and out respectively.
Live Mode AUX On and Off
When using the Video Viewer window in live mode, it is possible to activate auxiliary units,
provided they are connected to the AUX 3 port on the same hardware device as the camera from
which you are viewing video. Press F3 on your keyboard to activate the auxiliary unit. When you
press F3 again, you deactivate the auxiliary unit.
Bookmarks
With the Bookmarks feature, you are able to specify individual images from exact times within a
video sequence, and use these images for two purposes:
• You can include them in a printed report (see page 26).
• In the Alarm Detail window (see page 23), you can select a particular bookmarked image
for display when users open the window to view details about an alarm.
This can be useful since the Alarm Detail window by default displays an image from the
time when the alarm was triggered, which not always provides the most interesting image.
By using a bookmarked image, you have the possibility of displaying a more relevant image
instead.
Example: Instead of displaying an image from the moment a door is being opened, it may
be better to display an image from the moment a person enters through the opened door.
To specify a bookmark while browsing recorded video, simply click the Set button. You can specify
more than one bookmark.
Specified bookmarks will be listed in the Bookmarks list located above the Set button. To remove a
bookmark, select the unwanted bookmark in the list and click the Remove button.
Remember to click the Save bookmarks and Close button when exiting the Video Viewer window.
Snoozing Operational Status Information
You are able to snooze (i.e. pause) the display of operational status information from a selected
server, camera, or other device. This way you can avoid receiving unnecessary operational status
information, for example if a camera has deliberately been taken down for maintenance.
