Searching Options
Define the folder where Buffalo Surveillance Server caches
search results. Similar to the cache of a web browser, the
cache stores found thumbnails, low resolution proxy videos,
and other associated files and enables you to replay already
found videos more quickly.
Define the size of the cache where Buffalo Surveillance Server
caches thumbnails, low resolution proxy videos, and
associated files. When full, contents will be overwritten in the
order of oldest to newest.
If unsure about cache size, leave it set to the default
value. If you find that Buffalo Surveillance Server often
needs to retrieve videos from storage rather than from
the cache, increase the cache size.
Select for Buffalo Surveillance Server to empty the cache when
the application closes.
Select the type of video viewer.
To play back videos in the Buffalo Surveillance Server
media viewer, you will need
player
(VLC 1.1.11) or
or Pro) installed on your computer. If you are viewing
primarily MPEG-4 videos, which are commonly
used for surveillance video, VLC is best.
Be sure to restart the Surveillance Video Manager if you
change the preferred viewer.
Search the ingest server for video files, such as preview
images, low resolution proxies/companion files, or other
related files.
Select search options Search for preview images or
Search for low resolution proxies if your ingest server
supports preview images or low resolution proxies. Video
surveillance files typically do not have other related files
associated with them.
Searches with multiple search options selected can be
time intensive because several passes through the
ingest server are taking place.
