New Features

Default Layouts for Web Client

The Web Client can now be configured to start with a custom layout. This feature allows the End User to have their low resolution layouts load in the Web Client when using Hi Resolution Association.

To configure the Custom Layout there are two registry keys that need to be set inside the Microsoft

Windows Video Insight Web Client Registry Folder:

Go to the Windows Start menu and search for regedit and Select

5.5.20 Release Notes


DefaultView-This designates which directory is displayed.

0=Server

1=Maps

2=Layouts

DefaultItem- This designates which item from the specified directory is displayed. The default item ID can be a ServerID, Facility Map ID or Layout ID. These values can be found in the database.

Once the Registry Keys are set, logging into the Web Client will show you the items specified:

Dual Streaming Support

The Dual Streaming feature allows a select variety of cameras to stream a secondary lower resolution, lower frame rate feed from the camera to any connected Monitor Station. The secondary stream can be in a different compression format if the camera supports multiple formats. This stream is designed to allow users to have cameras displayed in a lower resolution when viewing multi-camera layouts inside

Monitor Station. When switching to a single camera layout the Monitor Station will display the primary stream from the camera.



Note: Dual streaming works separately from Hi resolution Association. Hi resolution Association requires the camera to be added twice and to have a custom layout created for all of your Hi resolution Association cameras. Dual Streaming only requires being enabled inside the Monitor

Station. Once it is turned on, the camera will send the secondary stream to any Monitor Station viewing that camera inside a multi-camera layout.



Cameras that support Dual Streaming:

Axis (223m, M1104, M1114, M3014, M3114)

Axis (P1344, P3344, P3344v, P3344ve, P1346, P5534)

Axis (Q1755, Q1755e, Q6034)

IQ Eye (732, 802, 803, 805, 852, 853, 855, A12, A13, A15)



Note: The above list contains the camera with Dual Streaming feature that Video Insight is supporting at this time. We will add more cameras in future revisions.

To enable Dual Streaming:

**Changing these settings only effect the secondary stream, but enabling the secondary stream may cause your primary stream resolution to drop. Many cameras cannot support two streams at full resolution so when the second stream is enabled the maximum resolution goes down for both streams over all.



File Export

When exporting recorded video from a single camera in Monitor Station now you the option to create a self-running executable that can be password protected.

When playing back a recorded video file, hit the Save a Clip button in the playback controls like in previous versions. There are now two options, Save to File and Create Self-Running Executable.

Save to file works as it always has.

Select Create Self-Running Executable and browse to where you want to save the executable.

If you would like to make the file password protected, check the Password Protect File option and type in the password you would like to use. *Special Characters are allowed.

Once you have chosen the file location and File Name you would like to save the executable as, click OK to start the Save.



Once the clip has finished saving you will be prompted of the file location:

Browse to the executable and run it like you would any application.

If you have encrypted the executable, you will be asked to enter your password

The Player will load the video before it starts playing. The longer the clip, the longer this process will take.



Once the video has been loaded, the Video Insight Media Player will play the video



Note: The executable uses the same settings as the Save Clip options in Tools Options. By default the Video Insight logo will be turned on and the video will be set to MJPEG.



Guard Tour

Guard Tour is a feature for End Users that have full time monitoring of live video. With Guard Tour enabled, customers can ensure that all cameras or specific cameras are being monitored at scheduled intervals or on demand. The Guard Tour feature also allows the option for the customer to force the person performing the tour to make specific notes on each video stream and displays all motion detected on each camera feed.

Guard Tours are created through the Server properties of Monitor Station



Select the Cameras you want the Guard Tour to cycle through.

Specifying a Schedule will have the Guard Tour run with the parameters specified in the schedule.

Choosing On Demand Only will make the Guard Tour only pop up when a User goes to

Tool\Options\Guard Tour\Run Tour.

Options allow you to choose which Users or Groups connected to Monitor Station will see and have to complete the Guard Tour. This list is pulled from the User Manager inside Server Configuration.

Force Users to Enter Text Before Continuing requires the User to notate what they see in each tour window.



When the Guard Tour has been triggered, the User will be asked to Select and then Run the tour

A live image will appear on the left hand side of the screen. All of the recent motion events from the camera will appear in the upper right hand corner. The notes window below the Motion Events window allows the user to document what is going on in the live window during the tour. If notes are required and none are entered the User will not be able to continue through the Tour. The Camera details button displays the camera type, name, manufacturer, IP address and Camera ID of the camera being viewed.





Clicking Next through the Guard Tour Window will eventually Finish the Tour, letting the User know how long it took to complete the task.

Each Tour has a report generated upon completion. This report can be viewed by going to

Tools\Options\Guard Tour\Tour Report.

Guard Tour Report shows when the tour was started, when it ended, who ran the tour and logs any notes taken during the tour. It can be saved as a .txt file for further review at a later time.



Keep Days

This feature allows customers to keep a set number of days of recorded video instead of relying on the

Reserved Disk Space. With the KeepDays registry key in place, we will only keep the number of days specified by the key. If you do not have the ability to keep this many days’ worth of video, then the

Reserved Disk Space limit will kick in and start deleting video as needed.



Multi Day Export for Synchronized Player

The Synchronized Player now lets you clip video across multiple days. There is no limit on the range of days you can clip, but the more days included in the clip the longer it will take to create it. The export works the same as previous versions, but now you can select a date range.

From the Synchronized Player, click on the File Export Button

Select Enable Multi-Day Export and this message will pop up:

Click OK to continue



Choose the time and date range for the export.



Note: Remember, the more days chosen, the longer it will take to clip. The compiled Image

Resolution will be the resolution the exported video plays back in.

Click Ok and the export will begin. During the clipping you will not be able to use the Monitor Station session creating the clip. This is to prevent high CPU and Memory usage during the clipping process.



Once the video has been exported, it can be played back in Windows Media Player or any other player with a Motion JPEG codec package.

Two Way Audio for Advidia Cameras

Video Insight now supports two way audio for select Advidia cameras in Monitor Station. This feature will allow End Users to listen and talk to people around one of their A Series cameras. We will add future functionality that will allow the End User to play custom recorded messages through speakers connected to the camera.

This feature is supported on the following cameras:

A-42, A-44, A-44-IR, A-45, A-54, A-200

For two way audio to work the camera has to have a microphone and speakers plugged into it and the

PC running Monitor Station needs to have an active microphone. If one or both audio devices are missing two way audio will not work. The speakers will work if there is no microphone plugged into the camera, but the person at the other end will not be able to communicate back through the camera.



To enable two way audio, select the camera you wish to talk through and then hit the microphone button in the Audio Controls portion of the Left Tree

The microphone will turn green when you are able to talk

To disable two way communication, click the microphone and it will turn grey again.



Note: To hear audio from the camera be sure to enable live audio by right clicking on the camera image and choosing Live Audio.

Camera Integration

MOBOTIX Flip

Video Insight added flip support for MOBOTIX JPEG images when the left and right images are explicitly selected.

Flip was already supported for all modes except when the left and right images are explicitly selected.

ACTi Serial PTZ Fix

Video Insight added a fix for ACTi Serial PTZ cameras such as the CAM series.

Now we will send Serial PTZ commands even when the camera does not allow Video Insight to configure the Serial ptz Settings.



This may allow some cameras with network or password issues to still have functioning PTZ.
