Chat Server
This allows setting the selected user's ability to
use the 'chat' feature to communicate with an
operator at this Video Server.

6.5 Chatting On-line with a Video Server
PTZ Control Server
This allows setting the selected user's ability to
remotely control a PTZ camera (pan
/ tilt /
zoom). You can also limit the maximum
duration for viewing sessions, and limit them to
specific cameras if desired. The priority-level
setting (required) determines who 'wins' if
multiple remote users try to control the same
PTZ camera at the same time.
Note: The assigned PTZ priority must be different
for each remote user (priority 0 is highest; remote
users can be 2 - 99). Note: An operator at the
Video Server has the highest PTZ priority of all.

(DSR_Relay)
This allows setting the selected user's ability to

browser). Note: Under "Login As", be sure to
select "Super".

camera images through a web browser.

Remote Service Permission (Lower-
middle portion of the Screen )
Allow everyone...: Select the features (server
modules) that are not
to be restricted to
specific remote users.
HTTP Server Port
Input DSR HTTP Server Port: This sets the
port to be used by NetVision's built-in HTTP
server. Ensure this is set as 80
(not 8080).
Exception: If you need to continue running another
HTTP service (such as Microsoft IIS) for some other
purpose on this Video Server, ensure the two services
are not using the same port).
Notice
: If this is NOT set to 80, everywhere someone
needs to enter an IP address to access this unit, they
will need to append the IP address with a colon and this
port number (e.g., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080). If this
applies to you, ensure your remote users are aware
of this!
--------------------------------------------------
When finished, click [OK], and then click
[X] to close the list (upper-right corner).
Attention: To recognize any DSR Configuration
changes made while the Video Server software is
running, you may need to restart the software.
11.3
Viewing a List of Motion-
Detection Alarms
A Video Server can be set to record
automatically when motion is detected during
scheduled times for each camera. A log of all
such alarm-triggered recordings is stored in a
text file (one file per day).
Tip: Video / signal lost conditions are recorded
here as well.
To view the file in your default text editor (e.g.,
notepad), locate and open (double-click) the
indicated file.
File Locator:
d:\DSR-Video\Log\Alarm\yyyymmdd.txt
("d" represents the drive letter of the recording hard
drive.)
