Reference Images

You can save images (snapshots) to serve as reference points in a motion search. The Reference Image serves as a constant in the picture compared to what changed. If no images have been saved, one will be created automatically in the motion search. This video provides further information on the motion search.

Images can be set to update automatically. The frequency of this refresh process can be defined on the Advanced tab for the camera type.

Click the Reference Images button in the Video Configuration section on the Video menu.

The Save Camera Image dialog appears.

To save the image currently in the Video tab playback window as a reference image, click Save.

A confirmation message appears.

The images can be shared to a centrally-accessible location. This shared location is defined on the Cameras & Recordings screen in the Define and Configure Hardware and Recording wizard.

You will also need the following client configuration settings:

<investigationViewWindowsFileShares>true</investigationViewWindowsFileShares>
<mdAlwaysUseSynavUtilities>false</mdAlwaysUseSynavUtilities>

When you scroll through the camera tree, any reference images that have been saved will display next to the associated camera when you hover over it. The size of the reference image displayed here is adjustable. See your system administrator for details.
