Chapter 2 –Configuration
Hidden Options
Like most applications the Leviathan has a wealth of hidden options, which might otherwise make the
software seem too complicated. So here we introduce the last option which is available from the main
display. All you need to do is right click anywhere the camera display area, and the following pop up
windows will then be shown as below:
Here we see the first two options are shortcuts to the
F9
and
F10
function keys, previously mentioned.
This is so you don’t need to use the keyboard, as the software tries to do its best to have only mouse
action for all key functions.
The “
Limit size to 382x288
” tick option sets the system to only display the camera images as the same
resolution as they are captured at. Because a computer VGA screen is normally at a much higher
resolution than a Camera signal, the images can be seen as only small windows, almost looking like
they have been shrunk. This is not the case, and depending on the screen resolution and the size of
your monitor you may find these images too small. This option uses the hardware of the Leviathan
graphics card to expand the image, with the effect that you may notice some blocking on the images,
this has no bearing on the image recorded to the hard drive, and it is only a visual aid. It does not mean
the system is saving low quality images, the blocking is how the hardware expands an image.
The “
Antialias filter
” is another visual aid to try to smooth any jagged lines from the displayed images.
Default setting is enabled.
The “
Camera alert”
has two options.
This is a setting which is individual for each
camera on the system, to change this you need to right click the options over the selected camera, from
the main display area.
The two options are valid settings for the “
Schedule”
Section of this manual.
Please refer to this. The
is a separate section because all Leviathan DVRs will function 24x7 with its defaults in exactly what
95% of users require. Which is without the need to any schedules, so it is considered a more advanced
topic and setup procedure?
System Performance
This is a system performance display. As all Leviathans are custom build systems designed for the task
as a DVR, users do not normally need to know how the system is performing.
