Monitor Settings to Customize Windows for a PC
Honeywell recommends that if you plan to use View’s higher resolution settings, you should
set the monitor screen area to 1280 by 1024 pixels or higher to run View. Microsoft Windows
is used to set this value, not the View application. Recommended values are listed in
Table 5-5 . You can also change the PC Monitor Refresh Rate. See Larger Monitors and
Microsoft Windows on page 92 .
Honeywell also recommends that you consider using two PC monitors at the same time if
you plan to display ten or more cameras on a PC screen at once. See
Microsoft Dual View

Dial-up connections using few cameras are faster, as is retrieval of video recorded at lower resolu-
tions. Lower settings for the screen area may be sufficient for such use.

Video is visible and workable, even when using smaller screen area settings. See Figure 5-14 .
