The presentation covers how to create and manage monitoring views in Genitech.
Focus on setting up custom views, saving them, and navigating between cameras.
Creating a Custom View
Start by creating a new view called "All Cameras".
Initial layout: 4-way split screen.
Drag and drop cameras into the view.
Example cameras: Front Door Security, Second Front Door, Warehouse.
Option to hide the logical view and dashboard for more screen space.
Saving Views
Right-click on the view to access the menu options.
Users can save as a Private Task or Public Task (most assignments will be in Public).
Example of tasks created:
Existing tasks present in public tasks area.
Ability to save changes made to the view.
Recovering Deleted Views
If a shared public view is altered or cameras are deleted:
Re-add cameras by dragging them from the source.
Right-click and save again to preserve the new layout.
Adjusting Camera Views
Change layout to different tile patterns: 9, 16, etc.
One camera can be displayed multiple times, but it uses double bandwidth.
Ability to switch between live view and recorded footage.
Camera Streams
Each camera has 2-6 streams (high-definition and low-definition).
High-definition stream is used for recording; low-definition stream for monitoring.
Users can select the stream quality via right-click:
Automatic: Default setting.
Low Resolution: Grainy picture for less CPU usage.
High Resolution: Clearer picture but requires more processing power.
Recording and Exporting Video
Live security monitoring enables local recording of viewed streams.
Option to export video from selected tiles or all tiles.
Formats for export:
ASF: Unencrypted, suitable for general use.
G64: Encrypted, suitable for sharing as evidence but not admissible in court.
Users can select specific dates and times for exporting video.
Playback Controls
Controls for playback include:
Pause, step back, and slow motion.
Bookmarking important video segments to prevent them from being deleted.
Access to thumbnails for quick navigation.
Additional Features
Ability to cycle through multiple camera views automatically.
Set parameters for how long each camera is displayed during the cycling.
