5 Operation
5.1 Function test
The encoder offers a variety of configuration options. You should therefore check that it is
functioning correctly after installation and configuration. The function test is the only way to
ensure that the encoder operates as expected in the event of an alarm. Your check should
include the following functions, some of which are detailed in this chapter:
– Can the encoder be called up remotely?
– Does the encoder transmit all the required data?
– Does the encoder respond to alarm events as required?
– Do the recordings occur as intended?
– Is it possible to control peripherals if necessary?
5.2 The LIVEPAGE
Once the connection is established, the Web browser displays the LIVEPAGE. It shows the live
video image on the right of the browser window. Depending on the configuration, various text
overlays may be visible on the live video image (see Section 4.12 Display Stamping, page 39).
Other information may be shown next to the live video image on the LIVEPAGE. The display
depends on the settings on the LIVEPAGE Functions page (see Section 4.15 LIVEPAGE
Functions, page 41).
Display stamping
Various overlays or "stamps" in the video image provide important status information. The
overlays provide the following information:
