|
Live viewing
- During live viewing the cameras can be viewed full screen individually, set to auto sequence (individually or 4 cameras (quad) at a time or viewed as a 4 (quad), 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 or 16 camera split screen view
- Each split screen view can be customised by simply dragging and dropping cameras to the desired position in the split screen view
- The software icons and menus can be removed by right clicking the mouse for true full screen views without Windows or the x-vision software in the view
- Each camera can be given a unique title which appears discreetly in the corner of each camera picture
- The camera title flashes red when movement is detected
- If any of the cameras are disconnected or stop functioning a 'Video Lost' message will appear for that camera

Playback
- During playback the cameras can be viewed individually, as 4 (quad) camera split screen image or all the cameras together
- The software records in Triplex mode, which means that you can playback recordings without having to stop the current recording of cameras
- During playback it is possible to slow down or speed up the playback speed, and digitally zoom in to the picture for extra detail
- During playback still images can be edited (brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc.) printed, or saved to disk, all from within the software
- Recorded clips can also be saved to disk as AVI files and then copied to CD or floppy disk
- Recordings are listed by camera name, date and time, and can be quickly and easily played back with a few clicks of the mouse
- Recordings can also be searched by camera number, date and time. Because the recordings are on hard drive. Searching takes a matter of seconds and is 100% accurate.

Recording
Choice of 320x240 pixels Wavelet (Normal Resolution) and 640x480 pixels MPEG4 (High Resolution) recording modes Records all the cameras at the same time (similar to a multiplexer)without interruption. 3 different recording modes:
- Motion Detection: To increase the recording time and reduce wasted recordings with no movement taking place, the software analyses the images from the cameras connected and automatically starts recording when it detects that they are seeing movement and stops when they stop seeing movement (because the movement detection is being processed by the software, the cameras do not have to have PIR detectors)
- Around the clock: Continuous recording of the cameras, day & night, movement or no movement!
- Schedule: Allows you to setup a weekly, monthly or yearly timer of when you want to record cameras
- For greater control each camera can have its own individual recording mode Pre/Post recording feature, the software can be setup to add a few seconds of footage before a camera was activated by motion detection, and/or setup to record for a few seconds after the software stops detecting movement. Giving you extra piece of mind that no movement was missed by the software. All the recordings are made digitally on to hard drive and stamped with the camera name, time and date. The recordings are saved as AVI files and are tagged with the camera name, time and date, and are digitally watermarked for extra security

Motion detection
- To minimize false detections, the motion detection feature lets you adjust its sensitivity, so it ignores small movements such as rain, and areas of each cameras view can be masked, so for example it ignores movement on the road in front of your premises, but does not ignore movement on the pavement
- Once movement has been detected as well as recording it the software can call up to three telephone numbers and play a prerecorded message, or alternatively send an email with images of the detection attached.
- The software can also sound an alarm through the PC's speakers when movement is detected.
- By using the optional Alarm Input/Output/Relay interface, it is also possible to trigger additional devices such as lights and alarms when movement is detected

Remote access
If you have received notification of movement being detected or you simply want to check on your premises while you are away, you can access the system in the following ways: 
- If the PC with the x-vision software on it is connected to a Local Area Network, then you can access the system from any Windows PC/Laptop on the same Local Area Network. With this type of connection you can playback recordings, view the cameras live and record them, listen to audio from the cameras and record it and control Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras.
- If the PC with the x-vision software on it is connected to a Broadband (ADSL) connection with a fixed IP address, then you can access the system remotely from anywhere in the world via a Windows PC/Laptop with an Internet connection. With this type of connection you can playback recordings, view the cameras live and record them, listen to audio from the cameras and record it and control Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras.
- If the PC with the x-vision software on it is connected to a Broadband (ADSL) connection with a fixed IP address, then you can access the system remotely from anywhere in the world via a Pocket PC PDA with an Internet connection (connection type must be Wireless LAN (1MB) or equivalent, will not work with GPRS connections as they are too slow). With this type of connection you can view the cameras live and control Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras.
- If the PC with the x-vision software on it is connected to a standard telephone line via a modem, then you can access the system remotely from anywhere in the world via a Windows PC/Laptop and a modem (or mobile phone with built in modem). To connect you will have to call the telephone number that your PC with the x-vision software is connected to. With this type of connection you can only view the cameras live.
