Note: The TFTP server application must be

running in the background of the server for

the snapshot feature to work.

− Taking a Snapshot:

To take a snapshot, first press 4, and then

press F1 on a keyboard. The system

automatically assigns a file name to the

snapshot and saves it in .JPG format to the

location defined in the TFTP server.

The file name is in the form:

KBx–CAMz–cameratitle–yy-mm-dd(hhmmss),

where x is a number designating the

keyboard, and z is a number designating the

camera. The date can be alternately

configured as dd-mm-yy or mm-dd-yy. The

time is hhmmss, where hh is hours, mm is

minutes, and ss is seconds. If the cameratitle

is not configured, this part of the file name will

not be displayed.

You can choose the video standard, video

mode, image quality (in %) and server

parameters for the system.

○ Video Standard – Choose either PAL or

NTSC.

○ Video Mode – Choose one of the

following: CIF, 2 CIF Progressive, QCIF,

HalfDI Progressive, HalfD1 Interlaced,

4CIF, Full D1, VGA, SIF, or 2SIF.

○ Image Quality – Choose from 1% to

100%.

○ Server 1 – Enter the IP address of the first

PC running a server where the snapshot

image will be saved.

○ Server 2 – Enter the IP address of the

second PC running a server where the

snapshot image will be saved. (Backup

server if first server is not available).

○ Server 3 – Enter the IP address of the

third PC running a server where the

snapshot image will be saved. (Backup

server if first two servers are not available)

Note: Although the snapshot image is

simultaneously saved to all three servers, it

is only accessed from the currently

available server.

○ Monitor Output – Choose the monitor to

display the video to be captured in

snapshot mode. Choose from 1 to 256.

− Viewing a Snapshot:

To view a snapshot, open Windows Explorer

on the PC containing the TFTP server, locate

the TFTP root directory, and then double-click

on the filename of the image you want to

view.
