Main Controls

The Main Control buttons comprise the system setup and several commonly used

features for which quick action is often needed. Many of these functions depend on

proper setup as documented in the Setup chapter.

The first two buttons are in the upper right corner...

Click the Login/Logout button to lock the Server main screen, preventing further user

interaction until a user logs in again. The Login/Logout button changes to Login,

indicating that the system is locked. Click the Login/Logout button again and you will be

required to enter a User and Password to unlock the system.

This function also serves to „logout‟ of the Server and „login‟ as a different user with

different authenticated rights. See Setup | User Management for further details.

Exit

Click this button to exit the Server. You will be prompted to confirm the action. You

must enter a User and Password with rights to exit the Server, as this is a secured

function.

The rest of the main controls are in the button bar. Descriptions below are giving from

left to right on the button bar.

Playback

This button takes you to the Playback screen. If you have Dual Monitors, Playback will

open on the second monitor.

Alarm

The Alarm button will flash if the Client receives an Alarm notification from a connected

Server. Click this button to view the Alarms screen. Select an alarm record to take

action on that alarm event.

Live View: See the related camera's live view. The first unused display screen will be

Playback: See the alarm's related recordings, if any. The first unused display screen

will be used.

Remote Control: Open Remote Control.
