2.2.1 Image Section
This section is primarily to display the images from cameras. CamSS supports three types of CamSS cards and
installations of up to 4 CamSS cards in one system. Therefore, the screen pattern (number of camera views)
will vary from one system to another. CamSS automatically detects the types and the number of CamSS cards
installed, and will automatically arrange the screen pattern in this section based on the total number of
cameras. This section also displays the
images from the local cameras when the system is not on-line with other systems. CamSS can be on-line with
other CamSS systems through a LAN, Internet, Intranet or Modem. This section may also display images from
the cameras of other CamSS hosts selected from the “Host” option in the System Operation Section .
