The system automatically generates a camera frame and saves this under a preset name. The frames are stored in the application's main directory (e.g. C:\Programs\SIEMENS\ SISTORE) under the name camrefx.jgp, where x stands for the camera number. Display reference image Displaying a saved reference frame is possible both on the server as well as with SISTORE MX RemoteView.
Page 41: Output Of Video Image On Analog Monitor
The menu option remains inactive if no reference frame has been stored or the user does not have adequate authority. On SISTORE MX RemoteView, this menu option is always enabled if the user has authorisation to display a reference frame. If no reference image has been saved for the selected camera, an information message is displayed.

Page 49: Recording Modes
Recording modes Recording modes With the hardware integrated into SISTORE MX, it is possible to record video sequences from different cameras when using network or IP cameras. Signals which are fed into the recording system from outside are used to control the operation of the SISTORE MX during this process.
Page 50: Alarm
The last picture of a camera is constantly being compared with the current picture of the same camera. If there is a change in the picture content in a pre-set manner, SISTORE MX recognises a movement in the picture. This process is called "Motion Detection" and can be activated for each individual camera.
Page 51: Simulate Alarm
14.6 Acoustic alarm In the menu Action -> Acoustic alarm on it is possible to define by marking a checkbox whether SISTORE MX is to send out a brief acoustic signal in the case of an alarm occurring. 14.7 Cancel alarm If the option Breakable by user is activated in the alarm configuration, an alarm that has been triggered can be cancelled manually.

If no camera has been assigned to a window at the start of playback, SISTORE MX will automatically assign the first 4 cameras to the playback windows. Only the first window (top left) is taken over if you switch back over from multi- channel to single-channel playback.
Page 72: Audio Playback
Reference image at replay 17.6 Audio playback Audio playback is possible locally on the server or via SISTORE MX RemoteView. Audio playback takes place automatically when the following conditions have been fulfilled: Only one camera channel is displayed. Multi-channel playback (more than 1 camera at the same time) is not possible with audio.
Page 73: Timeline Display
If no image has been stored at that time, SISTORE MX searches for an image that is as close as possible to the required time (marking "out of focus" at bottom right edge).
Page 74 Playback Scratching is possible locally on the SISTORE MX (server) and on the SISTORE MX RemoteView (client). If the right mouse button is clicked in the timeline, a square opens up. The size of this square can be altered with the mouse while holding the right mouse button pressed.
Page 75: Database Scan
With the first start, the database of the old format is automatically converted into the new format. Subsequently, an old version of SISTORE MX can no longer read the database and therefore cannot play back any recordings.
Page 76 The search is faster but short movements may be overlooked. The search is always carried out at the server. This is why a search can also be carried out without problem via an ISDN connection using SISTORE MX RemoteView. The search, however, is a burden on the server.

NOTE: Should SISTORE MX return to you the announcement „Recording stopped - no more disk space available!”, the reason could be the enabled write protection. In that case just remove the write protection. You can write the recorded sequences to CD/DVD before removing the write protection (see Section 17.16.1: Generating film sequences and 17.16.2: Burning image sequences to CD/DVD).

Page 83: Burning Image Sequences To Cd/dvd
If the writing speed is too high, the CD writer requires too many system resources which can lead to a breakdown in the recording frame rate with SISTORE MX or in extreme cases to watchdog errors of the recording hardware.
