Demonstration account
To setup Video Server for demonstration to the public, administrators need to choose the
service(s) to be permitted. After checking “Enable demo account”, users may use
“demo” as general user name and password is not required. To separate the demo
account from primary users can prevent from interfering with the normal operations.
Homepage layout
There are two homepage display modes. One is "Image mode" that uses graphics for
links; the other is "Text mode" that mostly uses text for links.
Image mode
Administrators may easily give Video Server a different presence of homepage. The
"logo graph" for the system logo at the upper-left corner can be hidden; or the default
image from the system memory can be used; or an external resource can be used by
assigning a URL. The "Background graph" is similar. Default images of the system can
be customized but limited by memory size. Images from external resources can be
larger and more beautiful but will need more time to load. If the background is skipped,
the background color will fill the browser window. Administrators also can give the
system logo a "Logo link" to connect to another web site while clicked. The "Font color"
and "Background color" can be chosen from sixteen colors as you like. See the
Customize graphics in homepage section in the Chapter Advanced Functions for how to
replace the default images of log, background and buttons of video switch.
Text mode
The "video string" for video links can be modified with maximum 16 characters. That
will make users more easily know where the cameras installed like “Main Entrance”,
“Warehouse” instead of “video1”, “video2”. The camera control panel is also replaced by
text buttons.
If any necessary image is lost while homepage layout is image mode, Video Server
will switch to text mode automatically.
