,

and
User

. The first allows you to upload
an image of a map which you can use to
mark the location of cameras. This is utilized
in the
E-Map

User Management
allows you to define what
PSS-specific rights users have and you can
import or export those settings for use on
other computers running PSS through

This log shows all the events recorded by the
NVR when motion is detected or an external
alarm triggers recording.

This is where you access the recordings made on the NVR.
This window operates in the same manner as
the Playback function on the NVR described
in
Section 4.5 Search and Playback
.
STEP 1
. Enter the date and time range
for the event you’re searching for.
You can also select the type of event
as well as enable multi-channel
playback.
STEP 2.
Click on Search and the files
that meet your criteria will be listed at
the bottom of the window.
At this point, you can either play back or save the files. You can also export and save the files
in the .avi format so they can be viewed by conventional video playback software.
In addition to the normal playback buttons, the Playback Bar at the bottom of the window lets
you view the play list of selected files or open a file saved onto your computer for playback.
