Connection of the DCS-2120
Once you have the privilege to connect to the DCS-2120, the cameras will automatically appear in the video area in
the order they are connected. Once you have set up the camera in the video channel, the color of the channel number
will turn green, indicating that the camera has been added to IP surveillance. If you do not set up the camera for the
video channel, the color of the channel number will be gray.
The video channel is not connected with any DCS-2120 yet.
The green light means the DCS-2120 associated with this channel number is connected, and the video is monitored
in the video area.
The red light indicates the video from this channel is recording into the video database. In this mode, you don’t have
to drag and drop the channel to the video area. This means that this application software supports real-time recording
with and without real-time monitoring for the dedicated video channel.
With the motion detection mechanism set in the DCS-2120, the light of the corresponding channel
will blink once the motion event is triggered.
There is a unique light signal associated with each channel number. It indicates the status of the dedicated video
channel, which is depicted as follows:
Off:
Green:
Red:
Blink:
If you do not want to monitor one video, you can drag and drop the video (in the video area) to the
trashcan in the common control area of the monitor program. The following section will demonstrate
the procedures for “drag and drop” step-by-step.
This section depicts, in detail, how to manipulate the monitor tool.
