All relevant messages arising from operation such as for instance alarm messages,
starting and stopping of recording, user login/logout, errors etc. are recorded in a
logbook. The logbook can be activated or deactivated via the menu View ->
Logbook or directly by selecting the appropriate button (
display is at the bottom right of the screen.
When the logbook is displayed, the most recent messages are always displayed,
with the most recent of all always at the top of the list. All messages are always
given with date and time (hh:mm). Small symbols in front of the messages indicate
the message type (e.g. alarm, error, information). All alarms are recorded insofar
as the option "Logbook entry" has been selected during configuration of the
recording.
In order to make it easier to navigate among the mass of messages, these are
divided into groups. These may be displayed or faded out by using filters. The
filters are selected either
via the menu View -> Logbook and selection of an appropriate filter or
by clicking the right mouse button and selecting an appropriate filter out of the
context menu.
Using these routines, it is also easily possible to jump to the beginning and end of
the list. All filters can be set and changed while the program is being executed. The
filter only affects the display of the messages. All the messages are still saved in
the database.
Navigation can further be facilitated using logbook-based search. By double-
clicking on an alarm entry in the logbook or on a timeline track, the current
assignment of the cameras to the playback windows in multi-channel display is
cancelled and the camera assigned to the alarm (double-click on logbook entry) or
the timeline track is displayed in the window that was selected last.
Once a user has called up any image of an alarm sequence, this alarm will be
marked as having been viewed.
Alarms that have been viewed are identified by a different colour in the logbook.
Using a special logbook filter, it is possible to display only those alarms which have
not been viewed yet.
Extended logbook entries
A logbook entry is made if a user switches to replay or configuration. If a user
changes the configuration of the system it is also recorded in the logbook. Other
logbook entries can be switched on via the system configuration.
