General Surveillance Settings
These settings are used by the server to manage the selected camera or cameras. They configure the server's behavior with regards to a camera.| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| License Camera | Select this option to apply an available Surveillance license to each selected camera.
If you deselect this option, the selected camera's surveillance is disabled, and its license can be used to enable surveillance for a different camera. Note A status message appears when there are not enough surveillance licenses available for the selected cameras. |
| Thumbnail Activity Timeout (seconds) | Define how long a selected camera's thumbnail will be highlighted before returning to normal when a motion is detected: the minimum is 10, the maximum is 120, and the default is 30. |
| Include Audio | Select to include the audio stream from a camera saved with that stream's relevant image clips (not selected, by default).
Note The camera must be configured to send audio; otherwise, this option is not available. If the camera is not configured to always send audio, only white noise will be recorded if Include Audio is selected. The camera setting can be accessed through the APC NetBotz Advanced View application.
|
| Generate Digital Signature | Select to generate a digital signature when a surveillance clip is archived.
Note Digital signatures are designed to ensure that the signed media has not been altered in any way. |
| Store Data on NetBotz Appliance | Select to have camera data stored at the share drive mapped at the camera's NetBotz Appliance, instead of at the Data Center Expert server.
When selected, the Camera View, which provides a real-time feed, will continue to operate properly, and clip data, which is stored at the external share drive at the NetBotz Appliance, can still be accessed by the Data Center Expert server; however, the Thumbnail view for the camera cannot update while this option is selected. Note This option is available only when a NetBotz Appliance that supports using an external share drive for storage is mapped to a such a drive. |
