Site Setup

Control Center allows administrators to manage network devices, sites, recordings and the recording schedule. In Control Center, a site can include cameras from many different geographical locations and networks.

Device Discovery

On startup, Control Center automatically detects all IndigoVision devices that are on the same local network as the PC. If required, administrators can also specify scan addresses to discover devices on other networks.

Alarm Sources

Administrators can specify which sources alarms should be viewed from, and the time period when alarm sources are active. Video recorded at the time of an alarm can also automatically be protected.

User Groups

Control Center enables user accounts to be organized into user groups. Access permissions for cameras and other objects can be applied to user groups so that all users in the group inherit the same permissions, eliminating the need to set up permissions for each user account. User groups can have full administrator, restricted administrator or no administrator rights.

Multiple Administrator Users

Control Center has two types of administrator user - full and restricted administrators. Users with full administrator permissions have access to all Control Center functionality. Users with restricted administrator rights can carry out the same functions as the primary administrator, except that they cannot create, edit or delete user accounts. There is no limit to the number of administrator users.

Sites

Sites are set up by administrators, and define which IndigoVision devices are available for operators to view. Administrators can group cameras into sub-sites to ease navigation of a large site. They can also specify a backup site database to be used if the required database is unavailable.

Maps

Maps provide a pictorial representation of site(s). Administrators can create any number of maps for a site, then position cameras and alarm sources on the map.

Motion Detection

Control Center can be used to configure the motion detection facility available in IndigoVision units. A "region of interest" can be specified, which ignores particular areas if required. Museum mode and motion direction can also be used to tailor the detection criteria.

System Diagnostics

Control Center also displays NVR disk usage information for each camera which has recordings on that NVR. Information such as recording start and stop times, total recording time and total recording size and rate is displayed for each camera and recording.
