Live View performance, limitations and quality

When ever you view footage from a DVR there are a number of factors that determine the quality and reliability of the
video and the quantity of video tiles you can view concurrently
These factors include:
CPU power of DVR or IP encoder
Resolution, Quality and Frame-Rate set on DVR or IP encoder
Additional features turned-on the DVR or IP encoder, i.e. Motion detection
How many Users are currently connected to a DVR or IP encoder
How fast the CPU is in your PC (at decoding live video)
How fast your network connection is
Remote Viewing over internet (WAN) and Stream Usage

In addition to the performance limitations outlined above there are more factors that come into play when connecting to a
DVR or IP camera over the internet.
These factors include:
1.
The UPLOAD speed of the internet connection where the DVR/IP device is located.
2.
The type of stream that you are connecting to and how that stream is configured.
Most DVRs and IP cameras have multiple video streams, the usage of these stream can vary, but the majority of the time
one stream will be a RECORDING STREAM often referred to as main-stream, while the second stream is often referred
to as the Sub-stream.
Main-Stream usage:
Recording footage
Local site/LAN viewing
Sub-Stream usage:
Remote off-site Viewing (internet)
3G Mobile Viewing
To connect to a different stream do the following.

1. Select the tile you wish the video to appear in. (indicated by a blue border around tile)
2. Right-click the camera in the Device list window
3. Select either Main stream or Sub stream from the pop-up menu.

Group Connect Panel

The Group Connect Panel allows you to connect to, or cycle through a group of pre-defined cameras.
The idea behind camera groups is to quickly open a group of related cameras instead of having to manually place each
camera into a video tile. For example you may have a group called entrances that open cameras looking at entrances,
or you may have a group called POS that brings up all cameras overlooking Point of Sale areas.
Using Group Connect
Select group from

dropdown list
Click either Connect

or Cycle to start
To disconnect from a camera group or cycle click on the dis-connect button

Note: You must disconnect from a cycle or group before you can return to normal Live View operation.

Understanding the Time Line

The Time Line is made up of 4 rows, ( Fig 3.1 ) each representing a camera, in the example below there are 2 cameras that
have had their index downloaded. The footage that is available for each camera is represented by the coloured bars.
Looking at the example below tells us the device is recording on a normal schedule (Green) and on motion (Red) any black
areas indicate no recorded footage has been found or is available. The currently selected camera is
Front Building the time line indicator bar for this camera is positioned at ~9.00AM.
My mouse cursor is currently hovering at 13:04:42
Figure 3.1
You can filter the type of recording displayed on the timeline by clicking one of the coloured radio buttons.
(Fig 3.2 ) The default is to display all types of recordings.
Green = Normal scheduled recording.
Red = Motion detection recording.
Orange = Alarm trigger recording.
Figure 3.2
To navigate the Timeline bar efficiently you must be aware what camera (row) is currently selected and the position you are
at, within the Timeline bar. The currently selected camera is indicated by the BLUE text.
( Fig 3.3 Part A )
The current position you are at, within the Timeline bar is indicated by the Timeline Position Indicator which is the blue
bar shown in ( Fig 3.3 Part B )

by the horizontal Timeline bar. CLICKING this control opens the Locate time window which allows you to select a specific
time period to jump to.
Sub-Stream ( Freedom Server only )

This button is only applicable if the device you are connected to is a Freedom Server, It allows you to
review footage recorded in sub-stream, which is of lower quality but the benefit is the speed at which you can review
footage REMOTELY. The idea is you can search for an incident quicker, than once you have found the period of footage
you are interested in you can download the main stream version which is of higher quality but larger file size.
Synchronize button
This button allows you to synchronize all other cameras with the currently selected camera
(blue outline ) so they will all be playing at a similar time. Note: when footage is in Synchronized mode the buttons text
colour will change to blue.
Zoom In / Out
Buttons for zooming in and out of the timeline bar in increments of 60, 15, 7.5, 5, 2.5 minutes.

tile and also allows you to open an E-map for camera selection.
(Note:

Multi-Interval Search = This feature is currently not implemented in this software version.
If ticked, all the playback control buttons below will be applied to every video tile. For
example if you click the pause button all video currently playing will be paused. If un-ticked only the currently selected tile
will be paused.
Play / paused video

File Naming Conventions

File names in Freedom Surveillance have the following conventions.
The example that will be used is Camvex - Maxima MRS__Dandenong Road__20110530_224500_20110530_231500
Breaking this name down using colour illustrates the logical division of the name.
Camvex - Maxima MRS__Dandenong Road__20110530_224500_20110530_231500
RED = Name of Recorder.
BLUE = Camera name.
GREEN = Start Date & Time PINK = End Date & Time
th
20110530 = is the start date ( Date in reverse format YYYYMMDD ) reading from right to left, converts to 30 May 2011
224500 & 231500 ( HHMMSS ) which equates to a range of 10:45PM to 11.15PM
Backing up footage To PC
Scenario : I want to backup footage of an incident that happened between on the 30th May 2011 between 10.45PM and
11.15PM. There are 2 cameras I wish to include in the backup. I want to have a local copy on my PC I can view at any time,

FR001
GROOMING THE DOWNLOAD FOLDER
CLEANUPAFTERYOURSELF
It is highly recommended that you regularly groom your footage folder, you do
this by deleting the footage files you no longer require & move the footage files
you want to keep to a sub-folder with a descriptive name under the main
download folder.
If you dont do this, a large list starts accumulating and it gets harder for you and
anyone else to find the footage you have just downloaded. A good example of a
folder structure maybe like the one shown on the right.
Backing up Footage to CD/DVD

Continuing with the previous scenario, I also want to make a CD/DVD for a permanent record or to send to another party
that may not have Freedom Surveillance software installed on their PC.
Note: To backup to CD/DVD you needed to have previously downloaded the footage you wish to burn to disc.
(see previous section Backing up footage to PC )
1.
Insert a blank writable CD or DVD disc into the burning drive.
2.
Open Freedom Client software and navigate to Playback
3.
Click the Backup button, and then click DVD/CD option from list.
4.
Change the Disc label text to something descriptive (i.e. SmithsHotel_20110530 )
section.
Note: The Label text length must be less then 31 Characters including spaces.
5.
Add the files you wish to put onto the CD/DVD to the right window by highlighting the file on the left and pressing
the insert
button. Repeat this step for all the files you wish to include on the disc.
Tip: you can Shift-Click to select a group files at once.
If the files you wish to include on the disc are not in the default folder for downloads you can click on the
Browse button to locate them.
6.
Click the Check button to check there is enough space on the disc
7.
When burning has been completed a notification window will appear.
The CD/DVD that is created contains the video files you requested and a player for playing the footage back on Windows
based PC. The disc is designed to automatically run the player upon insertion.
Note: The autoplay feature only works if the PC has autoplay enabled.
To manually start player navigate to CD/DVD drive and double click Autorun.bat
Click on Download by time to start your download. A progress bar will appear at the

Using Playback Efficiently

We tried to make Freedom Playback as simple and flexible as possible. The most efficient way to use Playback depends on
a number of factors, these may include ;
Whether you are connecting to the DVR/encoder off-site ( WAN )= Substream

or connecting locally ( LAN )=mainstream.
Whether you KNOW the approximate time range you are looking for, ( i.e. between 6PM -12AM )
or you THINK it happened on 4th or the 5th , which will affect how long it takes to search for footage..
Scenario .
I want to review footage from today.
