2.5.2 Defining which components to display in a window
For each window you can define any combination of components and component-specific
configurations to be displayed:
Online monitor: You can choose to
Display Online monitor
and
Show main controls
(the
View control menu, Next and Previous buttons, View selector, and Round tour selector). For that
Online monitor's empty view ports you can configure whether the
Add camera
button should
Show on mouse over
or else only be accessible via the right mouse click menu. The
Preferred monitor for large view on double click
option can only be set for one window
and defines in which one big views of cameras are shown after a double click.
Archive player: You can choose to
Display archive player
.
Event list: You can choose to
Display event list
,
Display titlebar
,
Hide acknowledged
events
,
Show hidden event list on new events
and
Scroll to reveal new events
.
Additionally you can configure which columns to show in the event list:
ID
,
Time
,
Details
,
Camera ID
,
Camera
,
Priority
,
Icon
,
Server
, and
ACK state
.
Camera tree: You can choose to
Display camera tree always
and
Display titlebar
.
Note:
Normally it is not necessary to always display the camera tree since it is displayed on-
demand. Also note that as of NETAVISObserver 4.6.2 the state of the camera tree (which groups
are and are not expanded) is stored per user.
2.5.3 General preferences
The configuration options set here apply to all Observer client windows:
General:
You can enable the
Camera statistics display
(see
4.4 Checking the Camera status
on page 39 for details).
Event list:
You can enable/disable the
Play event sound
option and configure the
Maximal
event count
shown in the event list. It is also possible to configure the
Default event video
export duration
(how many seconds of the recording before and after the event should be
exported) and
Override default archive playback duration
(how many seconds of the
recording before and after the event should be shown per default in the archive player). This
last option overrides other pre- and post-event recording options which may have been set up
for specific events.
Streaming:
To ensure smooth video and audio playback you can configure the length of the
local
Live video cache
(with and without audio) in milliseconds. In case of connectivity issues
it is advisable to raise the
Live video cache (no audio)
value above the default of 200ms.
Debug:
You can enable different debug options and
Show Log Debug
.
Note:
These debug options are only needed for advanced error diagnosis.
