General Video Server
Settings
14.1
Startup / Logoff Options
A number of start-up/logoff options are
available at Video Server PCs.
TechTip: These settings do not affect features to
be available at remote surveillance stations.
Locator: (Logged in at the Video Server as
a "Supervisor"),
Select: [Utility], then [Option Setting].
Select Operation Setting , and then make
your desired selections:
--------------------------------------------------
On Next Startup:
• Status Restore
: Select this if you want
viewing / recording mode selections to be
retained for use during the next login.
(This also applies to the “At Logoff”
selections, to follow/below).
• Auto Login
: Select this if you want to skip
having to logon when the Video Server
software is started (and select to be logged
in as "Operator" or "Super").
Caution: This bypasses password protection for
the Video Server software. Auto-logon as "Super"
gives full access for anyone with authority to use the
PC (as per Windows 2000/XP permissions).
BIOS and Windows Setup: Video Servers are
typically pre-set at the factory to automatically
restart after a power failure.
At Logoff: Select the items that you wish to
remain in effect at the Video Server when the
operator logs off (video display, manual
recording, PTZ control).
TechTip: If you need to disable remote viewing
through a dial-up connection, disconnect or disable
the modem.
Allow Operator to Exit: Select this to allow
persons logged in as "Operator" to be able to
shut down the software. (Otherwise, the [Exit]
button is available only when logged on as a
"Supervisor".)
Date/Time Display: 12-hour (with AM/PM)
versus 24-hour time display.
--------------------------------------------------
When finished, click [OK], and then
[Close] the utility menu.
14.2
Miscellaneous Settings
A number of miscellaneous settings are
provided.
Locator: At the Video Server PC (will
prompt for "Supervisor" login),
Select: (Windows task bar) Start, Settings,
Control Panel, DSR Configuration.
Desktop Link: There should also be a link to this on
your desktop called "NetVision Configuration".
Tips: If you cannot access the Windows task bar,
press Ctrl-Esc (or your 'Windows' key). To view the
names for items on the task bar, click a blank area on
the bar, and then 'hover' your mouse pointer over each
item.
Logon as a "Supervisor" when prompted.
Then, double-click Optional Features Setup
in the list. When the screen appears, select
Misc. , and then make your desired
selection(s).
