 Station List 
(Identifying the 
Video Servers) 
Before you can view cameras remotely, you 
must identify the associated Video Servers to 
the remote station software. 
Locator: (Logged in at a remote station), 
Select: [Station List] near the top-right 
corner of your screen. 
Then, click [Add], and make your selections in 
the next screen: 
Attention: When finished entering information, click 
[OK] (do NOT
 press Enter). 
Connection Name: Enter a suitable name for 
the Video Server. 
IP Address: Obtain this from someone at the 
specific Video Server (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). 
Connection Bandwidth: This sets the video 
quality and frame rate as suitable for your 
connection speed 
(i.e., associated with a dial up 
modem, cable/DSL link, or a network connection)
. 
Maximum Image Quality: Camera images are 
transmitted based on the recording mode at the 
NetVision™ Video Server (if presently being recorded 
there), or per the present/last displayed image size for 
any camera on the same capture board displayed at the 
Video Server. 
(•) Customize: This opens another screen for 
manually setting bandwidth parameters: 
Quality: Sets the relative amount of video detail to be 
included in non-key frames; Data Rate
: This sets the 
maximum video data transmission rate to be used by 
the connections with this specific NetVision video 
server; Frame Rate
: This sets the maximum number of 
frames per second for the transmitted video images; 
Keyframe every (x) seconds
: This determines how 
often a complete frame is sent compared to only 
changes from the previous frame. Lower values 
provide better image quality and require more 
bandwidth 
[OK]: Select this to complete the operation. 
[Cancel]: Click this to abort. 
Tip: You can change settings later by selecting 
[Modify] in the station-list screen (or delete a Video 
Server via [Remove] ). 
------------------------------ 
When finished, click [Exit] to close the Video 
Server screen.
