Remote Stations:
Basic Set-up
A few items can be configured for
remote stations.
Locator: (Logged in at a remote station),
Select: The "Utility" button at the bottom of
the screen (tools symbol).
Auto Reconnect 
These settings pertain to the remote station's
behaviour when it is unable to connect (or
loses its connection) with a Video Server.
• Reconnect Attempts: This is the number
of times that the remote station will try to
reconnect with Video Servers.
• Time Between Attempts: This determines
how long the remote station will wait
between connection attempts.
Video Loss Interrupt Property 
• Time Between Attempts (seconds): If the
remote station loses its connection/image
from a specific camera, it will continue to try
to refresh the connection for as long as it is
connected with the specific Video Server.
This setting determines how long the remote
station will wait between camera-refresh
attempts.
Select Codec 
This selection determines the type of
compression and file format for remote video
recordings.
•
Mpeg4: Produces MPEG video recordings
(smaller file size, lower quality).
•
Indeo5: Produces AVI video recordings (better
quality, larger file size);
•
Jpeg: Frame by frame compression (Mjpeg);
•
DivX 3.11: Produces smaller, high quality AVI
recordings.
Note: Mpeg4 and Indeo5 are supported directly.
For other file types, the applicable CODEC must
have been installed separately.
Status Display 
• Status Display on Online View Window:
This allows setting whether or not
connection status information will appear in
camera windows (e.g., during connection
delays or problems).
Tip: Connection status details also appear in a
list near the bottom-right corner of the remote
station desktop.
Select Drive for Recording (V2.3 SP2)
Select the drive that you want to use for
recording.
Note: Recordings done at a Remote Station are
stored under: "d:\dsr-video\Image\
Server\Camera\date\". where "d" is the drive letter
that you select here.
Self-Housekeeping Setup (V2.3 SP2)
• [Start Setup]: This opens a screen to set
up Self-Housekeeping parameters.
