Introduction

The SW must be installed locally on your computer.

Tabs

Live Playback Setup

The SW has three main areas.

• The Live tab for viewing live video
• The Playback tab for viewing recorded video
• The Setup tab for configuring views.

Panes

Panes give you access to the majority of the SW. Exactly which panes you will see depends on your task, for example on whether you are viewing live video on the Live tab or recorded video on the Playback tab.

Panes can be minimized to icons. This helps save space, and enables a better overview of the panes you use. You minimize a pane by clicking the ‘▲’ in the pane’s title bar. When you need to use a pane which you have previously minimized, simply click the corresponding icon in the top left corner of the SW.

Pane icons from the live TAB.

View

The way in which video from your surveillance system’s cameras is displayed in the DMS Lite SW is called a view. A single view may contain video from up to 64 cameras. Your SW can handle an unlimited number of views, allowing you to switch between video from various collections of cameras. Each view’s layout can be customized to fit its contents.

Views can be private or shared with other users.

The SW also supports multiple windows and screens, allowing you to watch multiple views at a time on multi monitors

How Can User Rights Affect Your Use of DMS Lite

SW?

The rights of an individual user will determine the user’s ability to use the DMS Lite SW features.

Basically, the administrator is able to restrict a user’s rights to the following:

• Access to each of the DMS Lite tabs: Live, Playback, and Setup
• Ability to use features on the DMS Lite tabs
• Ability to create views (views determine the way in which images from one or more

cameras are displayed)

• Ability to view images from specific cameras

The ability to use various features of the DMS Lite SW may therefore vary considerably from user to user.

Views Explained

The way in which video from one or more cameras are displayed in the DMS Lite SW is called a view.

A view may contain video from up to 64 cameras, depending on the surveillance system to which you connect. The DMS Lite SW can handle an unlimited number of views, allowing you to switch between video from various collections of cameras.

The illustration to the right provides an example of a DMS Lite displaying a view, in this case with video from 10 different cameras (view is highlighted in red frame).

In order to help you maintain an easy overview when you navigate between various views in your DMS Lite SW, all views are placed in folders called groups. A group can contain any number of views and, if required, subgroups.

Difference between Private and Shared Views

Views can be private or shared:

• Private views can only be accessed by the user who created them.
• Shared views allow many users to share the same views.

Setup of Views

How to Add Content to Views

Once you have created views, you are able to add content to the views. Content can be video from individual cameras or devices, carousels for viewing images from alternating cameras in a single view position.

Adding Individual Cameras

To add a camera to a view, do the following:

1. In the Setup tab’s Views pane, select the required view. When you select a view, the layout of the selected view is outlined in the main section of the DMS Lite window.

Layout of selected view is outlined in main section

(Indicated in red frame in this example)

1. In the Setup tab’s System Overview pane, click the plus sign(+) next to Cameras, then the

plus sign next to the required server to view a list of available cameras.

1. Select the required camera from the list, and drag the camera to the required position in the view. When you have dragged a camera to a position in the view, an image from the camera will—provided a connection can be established—appear in the selected position. If a connection cannot be established, for example if the surveillance system’s is not on recording mode, the name of the camera will be displayed in the selected position.
2. Repeat for each camera required in the view.

Tip: If you want to use all of the cameras under a server, you may simply drag the required server link to the view; this will automatically place all of the server’s cameras in the view from the selected position onwards. Make sure a sufficient number of positions are available in the view.

Tip: You can easily change which cameras are included in your view: clear an individual camera position by right clicking the remove button, then drag another camera to the cleared position, or simply overwrite a position by dragging a different camera to the position.

Adjusting View Properties

In the Setup tab’s view Properties pane, you are able to adjust osd and camera view.

Maintain Image Aspect Ratio

If the check box is selected, images will not be stretched to fit the size of the camera position. Rather, images will be displayed with the aspect ratio (height/width relationship) with which they have been recorded.

When viewing images with their original aspect ratio, you may see horizontal or vertical black bars appearing around the images from some cameras.

If the check box is cleared, images will be stretched to fit the position in the view; this may lead to slightly distorted images, but you will avoid any black bars appearing around the images.

Example: The same image viewed with Maintain Image,

Aspect Ratio selected (left) and cleared (right)

OSD settings (All views)

Show title bar: Displays a title bar located in the top of each camera position. The title bar helps users quickly identify camera name, Recording Status and live indicator.

Show indicator: Displays a blinking green indicator in the title bar when displayed on the Live tab. The indicator changes state every time a new image is received from the camera, an effect which makes it easy to see that video is live. Often, it is evident from the video itself that it is live, but the live indicator can be advantageous at times when not much is happening in the camera’s area of view.

Show icon: Displays a camera icon in the top of each camera.

Show name: Displays a camera name in the top of each camera.

Show resolution: Displays the current image resolution at the bottom of each camera.

Show date and time: Displays the current date and time at the bottom of each camera.

Adding Carousels

A carousel is used for displaying images from several cameras, one after the other, in a single view position. You are able to specify which cameras to include in the carousel as well as the interval between camera changes.

1. On the setup tab, drag the System Overview pane’s Carousel to the required position in the view. When you release the mouse button over the required position, the Carousel Setup window opens.
2. In the Carousel Setup window, specify which cameras to include in the carousel by selecting required cameras in the left part of the window, then clicking the Add button to add the selected cameras to the list in the right part of the window.

1. If required, move cameras up and down in the list to determine the sequence in which

cameras will appear in the carousel.

1. Define the amount of time for which each camera should be displayed in the carousel;

either with a common default, or individually for each camera.

1. Click OK to close the Carousel Setup window.

Carousel indicator will be positioned at right bottoms at the selected channel.

Adding Static Images

Static images can be used in views for a variety of purposes: for company logos, for including floor plans or maps in the view, for including photos of wanted persons, etc.

1. On the setup tab, drag the System Overview pane’s Image item to the required position

in the view.

1. Release the mouse button over the required position. When you release the mouse button, you are able to select the required static image file.

Further Configuration

The Options Dialog

The Options dialog lets you control the language selection, position of navigator, timeline for playback and the path for snapshot & Backup.

You access the Options dialog by clicking the Options button in the top right corner of the Smart

Client window.

Language Options

In the DMS Lite SW, you are often able to select between different language versions.

1. In the Application Options dialog, select the Language tab, then the required language.
2. The SW must be restarted in order for the change to take effect: Close your SW, then log in again to use the new language version.

Application maximization: Select how the SW should react when you click the Maximize button in the top right corner. If you select Maximize to full screen, the SW will cover any Windows task bar on your screen when maximized.

Quit: stop to run the DMS Lite SW.

Viewing Live Video

You view live video on the DMS Lite Live tab. When you select the DMS Lite Live tab, the SW will connect to the surveillance system server, and display live images from the cameras in the selected view.

Tip: The SW supports use of multiple windows. This is especially useful if your computer has more than one physical display attached.

Live Video Is Not Necessarily Recorded

Even though you can see live video from a given camera, the video stream from the camera is not necessarily being recorded.

This is actually one of the benefits of an IP-based digital surveillance system: Unlike old-style analog surveillance systems, where everything was usually recorded on a tape regardless whether it was relevant or not, an IP-based digital surveillance system allows much more targeted recording.

Targeted recording frees security personnel, investigators, etc. from having to go through seemingly endless amounts of recordings in order to find a particular incident. Instead, the reduced amount of recordings.

Basically, live video streams from cameras pass through the surveillance system server. When required, the video stream is saved (recorded) on the server; when not required, the video stream is simply discarded. Video streams are typically saved on the server (recorded) either

• According to a schedule (example: every morning from 10.00 to 11.30)

– and/or –

• Whenever the surveillance system detects special events (examples: motion generated by a person entering a room; a sensor registering that a window is being opened; input from users).

The surveillance system server’s recording settings are determined by your surveillance system administrator. However, as a DMS Lite SW user, you can also start recording while viewing live video.

Tip: When viewing live video on the DMS Lite Live tab, you can quickly verify whether the video stream from a camera is being recorded: Look at the yellow bar immediately above the camera’s images. If the video stream from the camera is being recorded, the bar will display Rec. Note that you may occasionally see the Recording letters for short periods only. This is because cameras may have been configured to record only when there is motion, when a door is open, or similar, which can lead to many short periods of recordings.

Views and their Content

Selecting a view

You are basically able to select a view for display on the Live tab as below.

What is the difference between optical and digital zoom?

With optical zoom, a camera’s lens elements physically move to provide the required angle of view. You cannot use optical zoom when viewing recorded video, simply because you cannot move the camera’s lens retroactively. With digital zoom, the required portion of an image is enlarged by cropping the image and then resizing it back to the pixel size of the original image—a process called interpolation. Digital zoom thus simulates optical zoom, but the digitally zoomed portion will have a lower quality than the original image. Digital zoom works equally well on live and recorded video.

Exporting Single Images

You are able to export single still images from selected cameras. Exported images can then be saved (as bitmap/Jpg/Png images) into PC, You can only export a single image from a single camera at a time.

To export:
