• On-Screen Menu- This section box has 2 options, “Show Menu Button” and “Show Expanded Menu”.
When the selection “Show Menu Button” is selected the program will open with a menu Icon in the
lower left side of the screen. When the selection “Show Expanded menu” is selected the screen will
always show the menu icons. If you would like to customize your menu items that are displayed, you
can click on the “Customize” button. A new window will appear that will give you the ability to
decide which icons are available to the user interface.
a. To add or remove menu items, simply highlight the unwanted item from the box of
available icons in the top box and click on the Minus (-) button, the icon will be removed
from the top box.
b. If you would like to add an additional icon select it from the drop-down list on the left and
click on the Plus (+) button and it will appear in the top box.
c. To rearrange the icons in the top box you simply highlight the icon you want to move up or
down and cluck on the UP or DOWN arrows to move it one space.
d. More than one of the “Separator” items can be added to the list as shown in the image to
arrange the buttons with more space between them or to force them left or right.
e. Hide menu automatically-This will make the lower menu disappear after approximately 5
seconds of no use. Note: Hide Menu automatically is not recommended for touch screen
display.
• Snapshots Directory- This is where you can choose an alternate location for your snapshots; for
example, if you want them to be stored on a server you may choose a network location or on a
removable drive.
• Reset Defaults- This is a way to return to the install defaults and start over.
Device Tab
• 1
st
(and 2
nd
) Camera Name- This allows you to enter the name you want to have display on the top of
the screen. The camera name will not be stored on the image snapshots.
• Video Mode- There are several options. These options are intended to allow you to choose the
proper resolution and orientation of your cameras. Select lower resolutions if you want faster
refresh, especially when streaming the video as it will be significantly faster and you will receive
more images per second; or use higher modes if you aren’t concerned with a delay or fluid motion
but want clear images for snapshot use. For live viewing on the PC where the USB device is plugged,
there is only personal preference; however, you will want to choose 29fps modes for NTSC cameras
and 25fps for PAL modes. The lowest Frame rate of 14fps is primarily for use in slow internet
connections intended to stream the video.
• View Mode- 2 Options
a. Fit in view- This option will keep the screen size of the viewing area in the same aspect ratio
of the camera image to maintain the entire image on screen at all times.
b. Scale and crop- This will allow the image to fill the screen top to bottom at all times and
crop the sides off if necessary; it will not cut the top and bottom of the camera image off,
only the sides.
• Reset Defaults- This is a way to return to the install defaults and start over.
Web Access Tab
• Enable Web Access- this turns on the Web Access Server, allowing for internet or intranet streaming
on other computers, or even off-site via the internet.
a. The default port for this devise is 8080, which should be perfect for most internal network
viewing.
b. To test if your network can allow outside access to this video device, click on “Enable Web
Access” and then click the “Test” button. At this point you may need to allow access
through your firewall which (unless you are super secure) you will only need to tell your
computer to “Allow” it. After a few seconds you will either be transferred to a web page
displaying your camera or you will see an error. In either case, you can likely view the
cameras on any other computer within your home network.
