  • Page 5: About Ipcorder

    IPCorder allows configuration of the system so that it behaves accordingly to reflect the time of the day, or the day of the week. (It is thus possible to configure the system to, for example, record the video signal from cameras in higher resolution than during the day, if it detects motion during night-time and send an additional e-mail, if this occurs on a weekend.)

  • Page 6: System Requirements

    In contrast to traditional methods that required new browser window or an independent programme for each device, the IPCorder is able to display multiple outputs from various devices at once. The user first selects a set of devices (referred to as View), whose outputs he/she wants to display, and then is able to simultaneously view them.
  • Page 7 In case of downloading a bigger number of cameras at once, it is necessary that the IPCorder is connected to the 1GB port of the network switch.

  • Page 25 If the camera supports multiple streams, the user can choose which should be displayed. The recording modes can be configured in the section Recording. The IPCorder interface offers the possibility of defining so-called schedules (i.e. various periods of time within a week, for example Monday and Wednesday from 7am to 2pm) and subsequent configuring of different system behaviour for each of them.

  • Page 26: Schedules

    If the camera supports multiple streams, the user can further choose which should be recorded. When deciding which setting to use, the IPCorder goes through the recording mode list from the top to the bottom. The first appropriate item, time of which agrees with the schedule, will be used. All other items are ignored.

    The live stream from devices is available in the menu Live View. The IPCorder viewing applet allows simultaneous viewing of multiple device outputs with no need for separate browser windows for each individual camera. The organization of the layouts of the outputs from multiple cameras on the Live View page (Figure 20) is defined by so-called Views (see bellow).
