Language and Start Page

Guest

The Guest screen displays the camera's current image (possibly with a reduced frame rate; see Page Options). The camera configuration cannot be changed. However, the frame rate can be modified temporarily within the defined limits.

This page should be set as start page in the Users and Passwords dialog, if user names and passwords have been set for all three access levels (admin, user, guest) in order to protect the camera from unauthorized access.

Live

The Live screen displays the camera's current image. The camera displays a set of softbuttons to the left of the live image. The drop-down menus above the image allow changing certain image parameters. Access to administrative functions is password-protected.

This page has been preset as the default start page.

Player

On the Player screen, you can play back the stored events. The events will be played back automatically, regardless of the storage location (internally in the RAM or externally on a file server; see also Storage on External File Server / Flash Device).

MultiView

The MultiView screen displays multiple cameras or events on one screen. Open the MultiView Screens dialog, if you would like to configure a screen.

Multiwatcher

The Multiwatcher screen can display several cameras, the last event and an alarm list for each camera and also offers sound notification and alarm acknowledgment.

A camera's Multiwatcher can be used to show the images from several cameras and to work as a proxy for these cameras. This feature is especially interesting behind a firewall or a router, since you only need to open one port for access the Multiwatcher camera from the outside to see the images and the events of all displayed cameras.

PDA

The PDA screen displays the camera's current image for low-resolution devices (PDAs/MDAs and mobile phones).

PDA Event List

The PDA Event List displays an overview of the stored events in form of a list, also for low-resolution devices.

MxWeb

The new MxWeb web interface provides access to the camera's live image and to the recordings. For additional information see the MxWeb help page.

Language

Select the language for the user interface.

Pull-Down Menus for Image Control

Display or hide the pull-down menus (Quick Controls) of the Live screen.

These menus are used for quickly configuring frequently used parameters.

Refresh Rate for Guest Access

Set the maximum and the default refresh rate for the Guest screen.

This setting does not affect the refresh rate of the Live screen.

Refresh Rate for User Access

Set the maximum and the default refresh rate for the user access (the Live screen).

Operating Mode

Select how the browser gets the images from the camera:

Preview Buttons

Select whether the preview buttons should be displayed on the Guest, Live, and Player pages. This enables every browser to request space and bandwidth saving preview images.

Web Crawler Restrictions

Using this parameter, you can prevent Web search engines, other automatic robots and web crawlers from scanning the contents of the camera's webserver. Usually, you would not want a search engine to index all the images and pages found on a camera. Make sure that you only allow crawling if you are aware of the additional security risks and the extra network traffic generated by the crawlers.
