Live Video Surveillance
If this size is too small because, for example, the camera displays a QXGA image of
2048x1536pixels or provides an image with a resolution that does not correspond to the
four available resolution settings, the main window will display only a centered section of
the image instead of the entire camera image. In this case, you can use the digital PTZ
commands to see the image areas that are hidden from view. You can find more details
on this in
“3.4 Image Sections And Virtual PTZ Features“ .
•
The Do Not Scale Up setting: This setting ensures that camera images that are smaller
than the main window are not enlarged (scaled up). These images are displayed in
their original size, centered in the main window. This option enables you to avoid the
lower image quality that can occur when scaling up images.
• The Image bar option: You can use the selection menu to either hide or display the
image bar.
3.2 Live Video Surveillance
The Default and Panorama views are used for the display and surveillance of live camera
images.
The Speaker button can activate playback of live audio data from a camera in the main
window. This is only possible, though if the microphone is activated for this camera. If this
is not the case, this button is grayed out.
3.2.1 Displaying And Switching Cameras
Use the mouse to drag the desired camera into the main window (or double-click on the
desired camera) to display a dierent camera from the image bar in the main window.
The cameras then switch places.
Manually Cycling Through Cameras
Up to four live images can be displayed in Default View. In the Camera Management,
however, you can activate up to 16 cameras for live display. Using the Next Camera
button, you can cycle through to the next camera in the list of activated cameras.
The current camera is removed from the main window and the top camera in
the image bar is displayed in the main window. The other two cameras in the
image bar move upwards and a new camera from the list of activated cameras
is added in the bottom position in the image bar.
If the camera in the
main window records
images in Panorama
mode (aspect ratio
8 : 3), MxEasy
