NOTE:
The ASUS VideoSecurity utility can only be used with models with Video-
In/TV-Out.
ASUS VideoSecurity lets you detect intruders into your system and environmental
changes and monitor a specified location or any incoming visitor. If VideoSecurity
detects any deviation from the norm that you set, it may give an error message or
not. Regardless of any messages, VideoSecurity will record:
•
Any information about the monitored activity and then store these to an event log
file. If you have already installed Microsoft Access 97 or later, you may use these
event log data and export it as an Access database for further data management
and processing.
•
The last two detected snapshot image files from the video captured stream (stored
as bitmap format). Any image processing or editing software can then be used to
view, modify, or distribute them.
Limitations
Because of differences in hardware sensitivity, VideoSecurity may not completely
detect all possible errors. Before you execute VideoSecurity, there are some limita-
tions you have to understand so that you can appropriately use it.
•
Due to changing temperatures, the captured image of some CCDs will be twisted,
which may give a wrong detection.
•
If the features (e.g., color, luminance) of the object are similar to that of back-
ground, the object may not be detected clearly.
•
The CCD cannot capture the object smoothly and immediately when an object
moves too fast.
VideoSecurity is designed for the widest environments possible and error condi-
tions, therefore it is necessary to tune the parameters in VideoSecurity Setup Wizard
to get the best detection results.
Setup Wizard

1. To open Setup Wizard, click
the Start button, and then point to
