About Dialog |
Provides all information about the System - including the currently installed version of the software, external libraries used, GPU information, connected servers, and support information. |
|
Advanced |
via ONVIF Provides all information about the System - including the currently installed version of the software, external libraries used, GPU information, connected servers, and support information. |
| Advanced PTZ Control |
Advanced PTZ is supported only on specific devices which have been calibrated by the EZ Pro dev team, but offers low-latency PTZ and draw-to-zoom controls. Advanced PTZ is only supported on specific devices as it requires custom integration and device mapping. |
| Advanced Video Export |
Users with "Can export video" rights can export video by highlighting a specific segment of time on the Flex Timeline and choosing either "Export Highlighted Area" for a single camera export, or "Export Multi-Video" for exporting multiple video streams concurrently . When exporting a single video (aka "Export Highlighted Area" users can choose the folder to export to, the filename, the format (.avi or .mkv), and whether or not to include a Timestamp. Multi-video export allows users to choose the folder to export to, the filename, and whether or not to make the file Read-only (i.e. cannot be used to export video clips). Multi-video exports are exported as a .nov file - which is a self-contained executable. The export feature also takes a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-if-what-you-get) approach. For example, if a user executes an export on a dewarped Fisheye camera stream the exported video will also be dewarped. |

Video Wall requires a single license for every two (2) monitors and one (1) concurrent user. Users can also push their entire screen to the video wall, or enter "Control Video Wall" mode to control what is being displayed on a remote monitor in real-time. |
| Viewing Cell | The Viewing Grid is comprised of Viewing Cells - each of which can display a single Resource (e.g. an IP camera, RTSP stream, HTTP stream) from the Resource Panel. Viewing Cells have shortcut icons for the following features: Info, Rotate, Snapshot, Smart Motion Search, PTZ, Fisheye Dewarping, Zoom Windows, and Image Enhancement. |
| Viewing Grid | The Viewing Grid is the central area in a Layout which displays videos or images pulled from the Resource Panel. The Viewing Grid can show a maximum of 32 resources on a 32 bit OS and 64 resources on a 64 bit OS. Each resource being viewed can be stretched to accommodate any number of cells and once a Layout has been configured it can be saved for later recall. The Viewing Cells on a Viewing Grid can be set to a variety of aspect ratios, including 4:3, 16:9, 1:1, 9:16, and 3:4. Spacing among items being viewed can be reduced using a mouse scroll wheel or manually selected from a choice of none, small, medium, or large. The Viewing Grid is adaptive and will size according to the Panels being displayed, as well as display Hi-Res or Low-Res streams from connected IP cameras. The Viewing Grid can be adaptive (Auto) or force streams to display in Hi-Res or Low-Res mode. The Viewing Grid can be zoomed as a whole using the Mouse + Keyboard. |

The Web Client mimics the design of the Desktop Client - with a Resource Panel on the left side, the Navigation Panel on the top, and the Timeline on the Bottom. Unlike the Desktop Client users can only view a single camera at a time in the Web Client - and can choose the resolution being streamed from the camera to increase or decrease responsiveness. With Edge based devices (ARM CPU's) the Web Client allows users to switch between Auto, Hi, and Low resolutions. For Servers running on Intel or AMD processors the Web Client will transcode the stream to provide multiple resolutions - including 1080p, 720p, 640p, 320p, and 240p streams. |
