Image recording
z The term „STORNO“ will trigger an alarm (configurable). Key words that
generate an alarm can be configured.
z There is a separate "Cash box" recording mode for configuration of the
recording parameters (analogue to „Motion“, „Alarm“, „Holdup“, etc.). „Cash box“
mode has higher priority than "Motion" but lower priority than "Alarm". All typical
parameters can be set for the "Cash box" recording mode.
z The "cash box" recording action will be started following the transmission of a
key word (e.g. „CANCEL“), or when a data record is received from a cash box
and the associated camera is not currently in long-time or motion recording
mode.
Search
z Definition of a time period for the search; open-beginning and open-ended
search is possible.
z Entry of search criteria in the form of freely definable text (sub-string search). It
is possible to enter 2 search words, separated by comma. Only entries that
contain both sub strings will be displayed.
z The search can also be cash box-related, i.e. as an additional filter criterion
besides a time period and a substring you can specify the cash box whose data
is required. You can either select "all" or specify a single cash box.
z All search results will be displayed in a table. Time, camera, associated text
(same as CDM search)
z Playback will be started from the selected table entry (time), plus a preset lead
time and a preset follow-up time (e.g. 10 sec each). At the end of the follow-up
time, the sequence associated with the next table entry will be played including
the lead time. The table entry that is currently being played is always highlighted.
z It is not possible to perform a search using an alarm ID.
z It is not necessary to play the images of several cameras simultaneously.
Image display
Any data that was saved in relation to an image can be displayed either within the
image or underneath it.
Export
z Export of an individual image as jpg or bmp together with the associated cash
box data to a text file (ASCII) under the same file name, and with the file ending
.txt
z Images can be printed with text underneath the image
z Export of AVI files: The player must be suited for the application, i.e. it must be
capable of reading the exported cash box data and playing back the images with
the associated data. This function still needs to be defined precisely. There are
two possible ways: a) The cash box data are written to a separate data track of
the AVI file (in the same manner as audio data). Alternatively: b) In addition to
the AVI file, there will be a text or database file containing the cash box data as
well as a reference to the images in the AVI file. In both cases, the player must
be capable of evaluating the additional information and displaying the images
correctly with the associated data.
