You can view live video on an analog monitor by displaying a camera or camera sequence
in an analog monitor entity () in the canvas. You
can also receive alarms on an analog monitor if the analog monitor entity is a recipient of
those alarms.
Before you begin
Your decoder unit needs to be connected to an analog monitor and it must be added in
Security
Center as a video decoding unit entity.
What you should know
If your decoder unit supports more than one analog monitor (for example, it is
connected to multiple monitors on a video wall), each monitor is added as a separate analog
monitor entity in Security
Center. You can reproduce
the physical layout of your video wall by adding the analog monitor entities to the canvas in
a similar tile pattern. For more information about configuring
analog monitors in Config
Tool, see the
Security
Center Administrator
Guide.
Omnicast™ 4.x federated cameras are not supported on analog
monitors in Security
Center.
To view video on an analog monitor:
Double-click or drag the analog monitor entity from the area view to a tile in the
canvas.
Double-click or drag a supported camera or camera sequence into the tile that is
displaying the analog monitor.
NOTE: Supported cameras must be from the same manufacturer as the video
decoding unit and use the same video format.
The live video from the camera is displayed on the physical analog monitor. In Security
Desk, only the camera name and camera
icon are displayed.
To control the displayed cameras, use the widgets in the Controls
pane (for example, the camera or PTZ widget).
To remove the camera from the analog monitor, click in the tile.
If your analog monitor entity is a recipient of an alarm, you can receive alarms on
your physical analog monitor. When you receive an alarm, the following is shown in the
tile that is displaying the analog monitor.
To acknowledge the alarm, click Acknowledge (Default) () in the alarm widget.
