access (including a simple direct connection to a workstation running the View
software) a local time server must be selected. See next answer for instructions.
Q: How do I set up my View workstation to be the NTP server for my iCVRs?
A:
Click the “Start” Menu in Windows XP and select “Run”. Type “cmd” (no
quotes) in the field and hit enter. In the command window that pops up, type
“w32tm /register” (no quotes) and hit enter. In the View software, right-click the
camera and select “Camera Settings”, then go to the “Date & Time” tab. In the
“NTP Server address” field type in the IP address of your computer. Click “OK” to
close the window.
Q. I plugged my iCVR into the same switch as my PC, but I can’t find the
camera in the VideoIQ View software.
A.
Make sure any personal firewall software, including Windows Firewall, is
disabled or suspended. Make sure that your IP address matches the network of
your camera (ie, 192.168.1.x or 169.254.x.x or whatever it is.)
Q. My camera appears in the list when I view “Live Video”, but I don’t
actually see the live video stream.
A.
Double click the camera to view the live stream. You may have 1 large, 4
medium sized, or up to 16 cameras in the smallest resolution viewable at the
same time. Use the buttons in the top right corner of each camera’s view to resize
the stream.
Q. When I open the live video stream I just see “Could not display rtsp://
192.168.1.100:554/lowQ.sdp”
A.
Most times this is an upstream bandwidth issue. DSL and cable connections
are notorious for having very low upstream bandwidth. The provider’s advertised
bandwidth is generally a ‘best-case scenario’, not typical.
Q. My iCVR is connected; I see live video with bounding boxes for people,
vehicles, and/or suspicious objects, but the camera doesn’t seem to
generate any alarms.
A.
Check the rules and regions of interest. You must have a rule enabled with an
applicable ROI for alarms to be generated. The bounding boxes will always show,
regardless of having a rule set up, unless you specifically disable them under the
Preferences menu.
Q. How do I reduce false alarms?
A.
There are several options that will help you reduce the number of false alarms
you see. Start with the first option. If you’re still seeing a high number of false
alarms, proceed to the second option, then the third, etc.:
1. Check to see if the camera has auto-calibrated (the cyan bar on the top-left
corner of the live video will disappear). If the camera has not auto-calibrated:
