From the File menu you can start or stop AXIS Camera Station as a background
service. This is the part of the program that gets images from the connected
cameras and stores them to hard disk. Images are available in the main window
at any time, but images are only saved to disk when the service is running.
When the service is running there is a flashing green indicator in the upper
right of the window. A flashing red indicator means the service has stopped.
Note that the service is automatically restarted after changes have been made
in the Administration tab.
