Using IP surveillance Software (continued)
Playback Program (continued)
Display Area
The display area shows the surveillance database of each camera by events
triggered by an alert or by time. You can change the video size through the
Display Adjustment Tool, and the playback method through the Play Control
Tool. Under the normal display mode you can double click on the frame area to
change the frame size to a 1:1 or 2.25:1 ratio. In the Preview mode, double
clicking on any frame area can change the display mode to normal and show a
10-second interval including the event you selected.
Histogram Area
The histogram is an interactive control. Not only can you get the event's location
in terms of time, but you can select a group of events or period from the event
histogram area and show it on the display area.
Control Area
The control area contains almost all the control selectors and toolboxes you
need to browse the database (except the page control). The Page Control
Tool is located on the right-bottom corner of the display area when the program
is operating in the preview mode. These control tools include location selector,
period selector, playback method selector, jog dial, display adjustment tool,
exporting tool, and system control tool.
Status Area
The Status Area is located at the bottom of the main window. It tells you about
the program status including display mode, display size, display speed, exporting
file format, and exporting file name.
Area Selection Indicator
In the main Playback screen as shown above the display area has been
highlighted with a yellow rectangle. This rectangle is the area selection indicator.
This indicator can be set to either Display Area or Histogram Area, by moving
your mouse cursor to the Area you want to select. When you select the Display
Area, the Display Adjustment Tool will appear in the control area, and if you
select the Histogram Area, the Display Adjustment Tool will disappear and
the Searching Range Adjustment Tool will be shown in the control area.
