Digital Recording

The Digital Recording tab is where you can view the status of the digital recording. It has several different tabs.

DVR Status

This is the status of all of the DVRs on the system.

You can turn on and off the alarms on a PSN by selecting it and then pressing Alarms On or Alarms Off respectively.

You can enable or disable the hot swaps on a PSN by selecting it and then pressing Enable Hotswaps or Disable Hotswaps respectively. When hotswaps are enabled the checkbox in the Hotswaps-Disabled? column is checked. When the PSN is actively hot swapping the checkbox in the Hot-Swapped? column is checked.

When there is a fault on a PSN, the box in the Faulty? column is checked. You can clear the fault via the Clear Fault button.

The History button brings up the View Stream History for PSN psn_name dialog.

DVR Channel Status

This is the status of all the channels of all the DVRs on the system:

The colour legend at the top of the screen is used to visually represent the state of each channel.

If a channel is coloured in red it is hot swapped; if it is yellow then there is a fault, but the channel has not been hot-swapped as all available channel for hot swap have already been taken.

In the event of camera failure you can turn off the alarm to avoid repeated alarms.

The buttons at the bottom of the screen can be used to turn alarms on and off, to start and stoop hotswaps etc.

PSN Contents

The PSN Contents tab shows a snapshot of the system health.

Use the Show Cameras, Show File Sizes and Show File Times buttons to select the information displayed for the streams.
