Use Synchronize Now to test your setup and generate a time synchronization message log. Use the log to identify any possible errors. Interpreting the Time Synchronization Log When Network Client performs time synchronization, it generates a time synchronization message log, which lists the unit s name or its IP address. Use the scroll bar to view longer messages. Message Unit did not respond within one-minute time-out period Unit user does not have privilege to set system time Time synchronization already in progress from another Network Client User currently updating unit date and time Clock synchronized; clock was off by more than two minutes Unit is already synchronizing time Network connection error Unidentified error Description The Network Client successfully sent the time synchronization command to the units, but the unit did not respond within 1 minute. An operator logged on to a different Network Client computer does not have the Windows security privilege for changing the system date and time. To synchronize that computer, an operator with this privilege must be logged on during time synchronization. The operator at another Network Client has already started a time synchronization. The user at the Intellex unit is updating that unit s system date and time. The unit clock is > 2 minutes earlier or later than the Network Client s system clock. The unit may have experienced a critical clock problem. Even though synchronization was successful, troubleshoot the indicated unit. Time synchronization that started from this Network Client is in progress. Either a network connection could not be made to the unit or the network connection failed. Network Client cannot interpret the error message. 16 Network Client

25 Configuring Network Client Setting the Live Camera Defaults In Live Video, you can modify the live camera default settings. 1 Right-click and select Settings > Camera ID in a camera pane. Review the default settings for the camera. 2 Select Settings > Live Camera Defaults to review the default settings for all cameras in the video review area. 3 Adjust the image quality with the slider. Adjust the slider to the left during high network traffic for higher video compression, acceptable picture quality, and decreased bandwidth usage. Adjust the slider to the right during low network traffic for lower video compression, increased picture quality, and increased bandwidth usage. 4 Select Motion Sensitivity Normal (faster): subtle changes in motion are less important; decreased number of intermediate (delta) images transferred to Network Client; highest delta (change) threshold setting; decreased bandwidth usage. High (slower): subtle changes are more important; increased intermediate (delta) images; lowest delta threshold setting; increased bandwidth usage. Slider About Image Quality The image quality setting depends on video quality, compression, and network bandwidth requirements. Higher quality images are not as compressed, so they contain more details and are larger. Larger images require more bandwidth for data transport. As you increase the image quality setting, transmission is slower because there is more data to transport. Use the High setting when picture quality in the live video output is more important than the number of images received. If you have a high traffic network, setting the image quality to Low increases the speed of Live Video images. However, the quality of the image is lower because the image is more compressed and smaller. Compressed images can be transported easier over a network. Use the Low setting when picture quality in the live video output is not as important as the number of images received. Configuration Guide 17

26 Configuring Network Client About Video Motion Sensitivity Motion Sensitivity determines the significance of subtle changes in motion in a camera s view. When a camera records an image between two major images, it is because something in the image changed. If the unit is configured to note subtle changes, it is set to the lowest delta (change) threshold. 18 Network Client

27 Configuring Network Client Normal Motion Sensitivity: Allows subtle changes without recording many intermediate or delta images. Transfers fewer delta images to Network Client, so it does not use as much bandwidth as high Motion Sensitivity. High Motion Sensitivity notes small changes by recording more intermediate images and using more bandwidth to transfer those images. Use normal Motion Sensitivity when subtle changes are less important, and high Motion Sensitivity when those changes are more important. Variations in lighting conditions are considered motions. Exterior cameras recording from day to night, or interior cameras recording areas with lighting turned on or off sense motion when the lighting changes. Normal lighting is required for recording useful video. Adjust the filter sensitivity for the lowest lighting condition that applies (e.g., low sensitivity for low lighting), and then tests the filter to ensure its proper activation. You can use higher sensitivity settings when the lighting in the area is consistent. Setting the Display Configuration Users can configure the display to select where on the screen, each camera s video information will be displayed. 1 Select Settings > Display Configuration. 2 Select the desired position for each camera s video overlay information. 3 Check Enable Overlay to display information (Intellex name, camera name, date, time and alarm type) on the main screen. 4 Check to enable DirectDraw support during live display and image playback. DirectDraw provides improved video quality, smoother images, and maximizes computer performance. However, you must install a video card and appropriate software drivers with DirectDraw support on the computer that is running Network Client. 5 Click OK. Configuration Guide 19

28 Configuring Network Client Setting Bandwidth Limits The network bandwidth throttle limits network transmission of live video. Apply a bandwidth limit only if the network administrator requires it. Limiting the bandwidth prevents the TCP protocol from delivering optimum performance for a given network load. 1 Select Settings > Bandwidth Configuration. 2 If necessary, enter the password and click OK. 3 Enter the desired Bandwidth value. 4 Select Throttle enable to activate this dialog and to enforce a bandwidth limit. 5 Select either Mbps (Megabits per second) or Kbps (Kilobits per second). 6 Click OK. 20 Network Client

67 Network Client Remote Management Software Overview Network Client s Remote Management Software offers Matrix and CCTV Keyboard integration as a separately licensed product extension. This feature lets you view as many as 64 cameras simultaneously which, combined with keyboard-based control, gives you the efficiency of a virtual matrix. Instead of having to number and arrange your cameras separately by each Intellex on your video security system, Network Client allows you to organize the cameras in a single on-screen group using a consecutive numbering system. This is accomplished by interfacing to a matrix keyboard via a local serial port. This extension to Network Client integrates the 1024 American Dynamics matrix switch that allows keyboard control of the switch or the virtual switch on the Network Client. Network Client version 4.3 supports standard keyboard functionality, including camera call-ups, control and playback, in addition to advanced features such as salvos and tours. Dome programming is supported via the dome's on-screen menu as well as via direct programming from the keyboard. This applies to the AD2088, AD2089, MegaPower ControlCenter 200 and 300, MegaPower ControlCenter 1100 and ADTTE Touch Tracker Controller keyboards from American Dynamics. For more information about licensing, contact your American Dynamics Sales Representative. Configuration Guide 59

75 Network Client Remote Management Software Remote Management Software Features Keyboard Control From a single keyboard, you can control the virtual matrix on the Network Client or the analog matrix based on monitor selection. Each live display on the Network Client has a configurable range of 16 virtual monitor numbers. These ranges must not overlap each other but are otherwise unrestricted (as long as they are under the 4 digit limit of the keyboards). Network Client uses these virtual monitor numbers to determine what commands it responds to directly and what commands are forwarded to the analog matrix. Camera pseudo numbers need to be manually synchronized such that the pseudo numbers are the same on the analog switch and the virtual switch. Virtual monitor numbers are displayed as overlays on the live display panes. Two-way Keyboard Support Communications with the supported keyboards are two-way in that commands are not only sent from the keyboard to the Network Client, but the Network Client also provides feedback to the keyboard as to the success or failure of the action taken. Support for this varies from keyboard to keyboard. At a minimum, the keyboard beeps if you enter a command in error. Most keyboards support updating of the camera pseudo-number on the display of the keyboard when successfully entered. Camera Control Camera control from a keyboard fully supports keyboard-ptz functionality with the exception of auxiliary control. Latency may be an issue when the camera is controlled via Intellex; when the camera is controlled directly via analog matrix, latency does not occur. Analog Playback You can configure playback to be displayed full screen on an analog output (a video card that supports analog output is required). In the analog output configuration, you can also connect the playback to an analog matrix input, in which case an input number is used to switch the analog playback to the currently selected analog matrix monitor (it fails with the keyboard issuing a beep if the current monitor is a virtual matrix monitor). Matrix Dome Control If Matrix Integration is licensed and enabled, you can configure dome cameras to use the analog matrix for dome control rather than the Intellex. This is done by forwarding dome control commands directly to the switch after switching the camera in question to a pre-defined monitor. Matrix Dome options do not display if Matrix Integration is not enabled or licensed. Incident Control When in playback, the record button on the keyboard triggers the current segment to be saved as an incident to the pre-configured database and category. Configuration Guide 67

76 Network Client Remote Management Software Matrix Keyboard Playback of a Pre-defined Duration of Video To play video from a camera, select the camera on the active monitor and press Play. A popup Playback window appears in which video for that camera plays, starting at the pre-defined time interval. Pause, Play, Fast Forward, and Rewind behave as expected within the pre-defined time window. Frame Forward and Frame Rewind are done by pressing Fast Forward and Rewind while the video is in pause mode. Camera Call-ups Matrix keyboard control of camera call-ups works by entering the camera number then pressing the CAM button. This may optionally be preceded by entering the monitor number and pressing the MON button. For control of Network Client, the monitor selection is used to determine which pane the video will be called up to, and the camera selection determines the video source. If no monitor has been entered, the default is monitor 1. Each live display window is assigned 16 monitor numbers regardless of how many panes it has in its current layout. For example, suppose the Network Client has two VGA screens, each running a live display. VGA-1 is using a 3x3 layout and VGA-2 is using a 1x1. In this case, VGA- 1 display is assigned virtual monitors 1-9, and VGA-2 is assigned monitor 17. Numbers are reserved for VGA-1 but not used in a 3x3 display. If you change the layout of VGA-1 display to 4x4, it is assigned virtual monitors 1-16; if you change the layout of VGA-2 display to 4x4, it uses virtual monitor numbers 17 through 32. The virtual monitor numbers assigned to a display surface are optionally displayed in the upper left corner of each pane. Salvo Call-ups Salvo call-ups are done by pressing the salvo pseudo-number, then pressing the Salvo button. Network Client responds by changing the layout of the live display corresponding to the current monitor, then calling up the correspondingly numbered salvo, which causes the appropriate tours to start, if any, and requests the desired camera control presets and patterns. The salvo starts on the currently selected monitor (pane). 68 Configuration Guide
