5.2 BACKUP
Clicking on the Backup icon on the far right of the Video Search window
will change the interface to support backing up files from your computer or
from monitored DVR systems to a connected hard drive of your choice.
As with the Video Search function, Backup is divided into Local and
Remote operations on separate tabs. Both are operated in the same
manner and both provide the option to save based on when the records
were created or by the type of record.
BACKING UP BY EVENT
Using this setting allows you to chose which type of alarm events you wish to back up. You
can select to backup scheduled, manually recorded, motion and/or sensor-triggered events.
STEP 1. Chose the beginning and end dates and times of the records you wish to
backup. This is pre-configured to be a one-month period prior to the current date, but
these can be changed either through use of the pull down calendar or by clicking on
the date or time segment and manually entering the numeric value.
STEP 2. Chose the type of event(s) you wish to record.
STEP 3. Select the channel(s) whose recordings you wish to backup. In the case of a
remote backup, you’ll also have to select which system you will be backing up.
STEP 4. Click on the Search button to see the list of records that meet your criteria. When
the search is completed, you will be given a list of records. Check the box in front of
the records you wish to backup.
The default save path for your files is set in the System Configuration window (see Section
4-2 Local Configuration) but it can be temporarily changed by clicking the Browse button
to set a new destination for saved files.
STEP 5. Click on the Backup button to begin the process. A progress bar at the bottom
of the window will show the status.
BACKING UP BY TIME
This process is virtually identical to that used when backing up by event (above), but it
dispenses with the search for files. You simply enter the start and end dates and time for the
files that will be backed up, choose the channels (and DVR if necessary) and then click on the
Backup button to complete the operation. All files recorded between those two times will be
saved to disk.
PICTURE PLAYBACK
If you have an IP (Internet Protocol) camera connected to your network which is being
monitored by CMS, you can view still images saved to the SD card within the camera.
When you select a connected IP camera
from the Select Device pull-down, you can
then choose the type of event (Motion and/
or Sensor) and the date to search. A date
shown in red within the calendar indicates
that a recording was made on that day.
Clicking on the Search button will generate a
list of events that were recorded, along with
the type of event they are.
Once the list is populated, click on View to
see thumbnails of the available images.
Clicking on an image in the thumbnail display will present it in the larger viewing window.
Below the window, a 24-hour time line shows when pictures were taken. Images captured by
a sensor alarm are shown in red while motion detection events are denoted with yellow. Right-
clicking on the progress bar will change the scale to show events occurring within an hour.
You can view the images as a slide show as well as zoom in or out of a picture using the
controls located between the thumbnail and single picture viewing window. Other controls
in this area allow you to close some or all of the pictures in the thumbnail view, save a single
image or all open images to the PC’s hard drive and adjust the size of the image on display.
