8 Operating modes
There are three operating modes:
z Display mode
z Playback mode
z Configuration mode
8.1 Display mode
After starting SISTORE MX, you will be in display mode. From here, after
successful login to the system, it is possible to access the configuration and
playback modes, insofar as you have the appropriate user authorisation to do so.
“Display mode” is intended for operating or surveillance staff while the system is in
operation. The cameras and all incoming events are displayed and recorded here.
It is also used for flexible live surveillance of all cameras.
8.2 Playback mode
The playback and/or revision of recordings is carried out in this mode. It is based
on an extremely high performance database and allows fast and easy tracking of
received alarms and their respective video sequences with all relevant additional
information. It is also possible to save important pictures in currently used formats
or even whole video sequences as “evidence“. Access to the “playback mode” is
only possible with the “Playback“ user authorisation.
8.3 Configuration mode
All system settings are defined in this mode (please refer to the Configuration
Manual). The opportunity exists to issue user authorisations (see Section
11 User
rights ). The configuration of the system and the “display mode” as well as the
definition of recording modes can be defined here. As recording modes can be
chosen:
z long-time recording with or without motion detection
z event-triggered recording with pre-alarm history and alarm memory.
This ensures that the system can be flexibly adapted to cover the widest possible
range of applications. Access to the “configuration mode” is restricted to users with
the “Configuration“ authorisation.
