Manage Surveillance Station Settings
Click the Management tab to configure the following Surveillance Station settings.
Add and Edit Cameras
Go to Camera > Camera List under Management to add and edit cameras, set up recording schedule, and set
up the advanced settings: Motion Detection, Liveview Analytics, Camera Optimization, Patrol Settings,
Fisheye Dewarping.
To organize multiple cameras into camera groups for easier deployment, go to Camera > Camera Group.
Note: If you are not a user belonging to the administrators group, you may have limited access due to the privilege
settings. To learn more about this, go to “Assign Privileges” or contact your administrator.
Play and Manage Events
Go to Event > Event List under Management to browse all events, play them with the Event Player, and delete,
lock, filter, or download the video files.
Note: Your IP camera must support alarm recording to be able to use Alarm Recording. Alarm recording often
relates to the IP camera’s digital input and output pin, or DIDO. Refer to its datasheet for pin configuration detail.
Alarm recording will begin when the IP camera detects an input pin is triggered.
Export Events
Go to Event > Export under Management to export the events to any shared folder or to an external storage
device via USB or eSATA interface.
Mount Events
Go to Event > Mount under Management to mount exported events. You can mount exported archives onto
Surveillance Station. The events in mounted archives can be played on the Event and Timeline pages.
Use E-Map
You can add, edit, and delete e-maps at System > E-Map under Management. After the e-map is created, you
can go to Live View and click Configure to assign the e-map to a live view layout. When the setup is complete,
you can click the E-Map button on the Live View page to open the map and quickly pinpoint the location of a
camera.
Manage Notification Settings
Under the Management tab, go to System > Notification to have Surveillance Station send you notification
messages via email, SMS, mobile devices or instant messaging programs whenever important events occur. You
can decide which types of events to be notified at System > Notification > Filter and configure notification
settings at System > Notification > Settings.
Manage Advanced Settings
Go to System > Advanced under Management to manage the advanced settings for Surveillance Station. You
can choose from the drop-down menu to set the initial page after logging in to Surveillance Station. You can also
enable centralized management, which allows you to set your DiskStation as a host server, and then add multiple
DiskStations as clients to form a larger Surveillance network. Furthermore, you can manage a VisualStation
within LAN and connect a TV set or LCD monitor to the VisualStation, and then watch live views and recordings
of IP cameras managed by your DiskStation on the TV/LCD screen without using a computer.
