Synaptics® TouchPad Features Your Synaptics TouchPad is much more powerful than an old-fashioned mouse.
Adjust the Overall Touch Sensitivity You can control how much finger pressure you must apply before the TouchPad responds by adjusting the Touch Sensitivity slider. This slider is located on the Touch Properties Page in the Mouse Properties dialog. At higher (more sensitive) Touch Sensitivity settings, the TouchPad recognizes even a very slight touch. If you see undesired or erratic pointer motion, try a lower setting. Lower (less sensitive) settings require a firmer touch to move the pointer.
Prevent Accidental Pointing While Typing Unintentional pointer movement and accidental taps can be caused by accidentally brushing the surface of the TouchPad with your palm or another part of your hand. The results of this contact can be observed as a changing cursor location when typing, causing subsequent text to appear in the wrong place. Or text may “spontaneously” be highlighted and replaced. Most often, this unwanted pointing activity occurs when typing on the keyboard.
Move the Pointer Long Distances Suppose you are dragging an object, scrolling at high speed (via Virtual Scrolling! ), or merrily moving the pointer when you suddenly reach the edge of your TouchPad. Don’t despair, the Synaptics TouchPad Edge Motion feature comes to the rescue! Edge Motion helps with long distance pointer motion.
Scrolling Properties Page The Scrolling properties page allows you to customize the Virtual Scrolling capabilities of your TouchPad. In some applications, the scroll zones which activate Virtual Scrolling can be used for zooming too.
Tap Zones Properties Pages The Tap Zones properties pages allow you to assign custom actions to taps in the Touchpad’s corner zone regions (or tap zone regions). The Synaptics TouchPad driver may also control other pointing devices attached to your system. If the Synaptics TouchPad driver is controlling more than one pointing device on your system, the Synaptics pages on the Mouse control panel will have a drop-down box listing all of the pointing devices that are controlled.
More Features Properties Page The More Features properties page allows you to control the following features of you Synaptics TouchPad: Stop Pointer at Window Borders This feature constrains the pointer to stay inside the active window. When you try to move the pointer outside the window, it stops at the edge. If you try a second time, the pointer is free to leave the window.
Button Actions Properties Page The Button Actions properties page allows you to customize the physical buttons of your TouchPad. The Rocker Switch settings are available on Notebook PC’s with scroll buttons between the left and right buttons. Customizing Button Assignments You can customize the TouchPad buttons in the same way that you customize the tap zones.
Touch Properties Page The Touch properties page allows you to customize the tap response and sensitivity of your TouchPad. Taps Check the appropriate boxes in the Taps section of the Touch Properties Page for the tapping capabilities that you prefer: • • • Tap to Click Tap and Drag Locking Drags Touch Sensitivity Software Utilities Use the Touch Sensitivity slider to control how much finger pressure you must apply before the TouchPad responds. See Adjust the Overall Touch Sensitivity.
Edge Motion Properties Page The Edge Motion properties page allows you to customize the long distance pointer motion capabilities of your TouchPad. When your finger reaches the edge of your TouchPad, the Edge Motion feature allows the pointer to continue to move until you lift your finger. See Move the Pointer Long Distances for more details about the Edge Motion feature.
Frequently Asked Questions Q: When I use Virtual Scrolling, the pointer jumps over to the scroll bar, and then jumps back where it came from when I’m done. Is this normal? A: Yes. Q: Why doesn’t the Virtual Scrolling feature work in some windows, even though they have a scroll bar? Software Utilities A: In order to scroll, Virtual Scrolling must be able to “see” the window’s scroll bar.
Frequently Asked Questions (Cont.) Q: Why doesn’t Virtual Scrolling work properly with Microsoft Internet Explorer? A: Make sure you are using Internet Explorer version 4.01 or later, and that the Use Smooth Scrolling option on the Advanced page of the Internet Explorer Properties dialog is NOT checked. Q: When I press and hold the shift key or the control key (CTRL), the pointer movement is either very slow or restricted to move only horizontally or only vertically.

Main Setting Software Utilities Detecting sensitivity: Detecting sensitivity is a very important parameter for Video Security. By definition, it determines how sensitive Video Security is to environment changes. It doesn’t mean that the higher, the better. That depends on the hardware stability. Like we previously mentioned that CCDs might produce two different images when monitoring the same scene if the temperature is different or the lighting changes a little.

There are two options to stop the tracing. 1. Stop tracing when users press “Stop”: When there is a condition occurred, Video Security will start to trace the motion object(s).
Procedures 1. Recording. Once Video Security detected any problem, you can capture the following video stream as an AVI file and play this file to see what happened. 2. Mail to the specified user.
