Recording Live Video (On-Demand)
The ViconNet system enables you to perform on-demand recording, which is a manual method for recording
live video, from one or multiple cameras connected to the local site.
The on-demand recording method requires that the devices be configured in the system, as described in
Chapter 3, Configuring the ViconNet System
. Then you can manually start and stop the recording for multiple
cameras individually or simultaneously, as required.
Performing on-demand recording consists of:
•
Selecting the local Kollector Lite, which is a transmitter physically connected to the cameras you want to
record.
•
Selecting the cameras that you want to record. The selection of each camera automatically starts the live
video transmission and displays it in the selected video display locations.
•
Recording the live video, which stores the data for playback purposes in a predefined local storage
location.
Note About Picture Quality and Refresh Mode
The ViconNet system enables you to control the quality (resolution) of the picture being recorded and to
specify the refresh mode of the video display.
The picture quality that you select determines the resolution at which you record the images. The picture
quality range is from 1 to 8, where:
•
1 = best picture quality, but slowest data transmission.
•
8 = least clear picture quality, but fastest data transmission.
The selections between 1 and 8 provide varying degrees of image compression, resulting in varying degrees
of system resources use and data transmission.
The refresh mode determines whether you record the full frames for the live video or only the changes within
the frames.
NOTE:
Both the picture quality (resolution) and the refresh mode affect the recording in all current video
display locations simultaneously.
