Endura products control the origination, transport, recording, and display of integrated, security-related audio and video.The advanced system management software provides access to all of Enduras operation and configuration features in one unified, user-friendly interface. The interface uses drag-and-drop operations, shortcut menus, and tooltips to enable the most direct, intuitive interactions. Sound, graphics, color, and on-screen messages provide helpful, ongoing feedback about user activity and system status. This interface allows users to view live video and audio, control cameras, record, search, playback, and export video. The software also allows users to perform administrative functions, such as configuring devices, setting up users, adjusting network settings, and creating recording schedules. Permissions to access these functions and all other system services can be configured to a fine level of detail. Users see only those devices and features to which they have been granted permission.The software offers a powerful scripting interface. With scripts, users can flexibly and easily automate many system functions in almost any combination. An enhanced search interface enables searches across multiple devices, time ranges, and event types. System logs can also be searched, printed, and exported. Video clips and snapshots can be exported to a USB flash memory device or to a DVDRW/CD-RW drive (if these are available on the host workstation).This manual describes how to operate version 2.0 or later of the advanced system management software to monitor live and recorded video, run scripts, and respond to alarms. The software configuration manual describes how to configure the software, create users and roles, and configure devices, scripts, and recording schedules.This manual is available electronically on the resource disc that accompanies the Endura Workstation. It is also available for download from the Pelco Web site. In addition to these manuals, the software provides online Help that is accessible from the interface Help menu. You can locate the topics you need without referring to either of the manuals.8 C4607M-C(2/13)Important NoticesLEGAL NOTICESOME PELCO EQUIPMENT CONTAINS, AND THE SOFTWARE ENABLES, AUDIO/VISUAL AND RECORDING CAPABILITIES, THE IMPROPER USE OF WHICH MAY SUBJECT YOU TO CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES.

Applicable laws regarding the use of such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require, among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are solely responsible for insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and personalty.LIVE VIDEO RATES AND RESOLUTIONTo deliver the highest quality picture to the most video panes at one time, the software uses the patent-pending EnduraView technology to adjust the display rates dynamically. The video display frame rates vary according to the number of video streams displayed on the screen, their resolution and recording frame rate, the source of the video (NET53xx series encoders or Endura digital video recorders), and the performance of the Endura system on which the software is running. For specific information about expected frame rates, consult the Endura Network Design Guide.When displaying up to four video streams, you can view video at the maximum images per second (ips) associated with your picture quality stream. If your stream is set to 4CIF-30 ips, it can display 30 ips. When displaying more than four video streams, the ips are distributed across the active video panes as needed. The currently selected channel streams at the highest rate for the picture quality setting; all other video panes stream I-frames at a rate of two to five ips. The video display resolution is determined through the systemwide picture quality setting on the System Configuration tab or the encoder-specific quality setting on the Devices tab. For more information on setting picture quality, refer to the software configuration manual.NOTE: The software displays both standard and high definition video streams. Some cameras can be configured to display either type of video stream. If you are trying to view video from a camera that has been reconfigured to display high definition video and the video does not display properly, consider exiting and restarting the software.SELECTING VIDEO TO DISPLAY The Navigation panel provides access to all cameras on the system. If there is a red slash mark across the icon, that camera has been online in the past but is not currently available for display. Camera view displays icons for all the cameras on your network.Figure 15. Navigation: Camera View Explorer view presents a list of cameras, which may be sorted alphanumerically (by camera name or number) or arranged hierarchically (by location or camera group). The hierarchical view is for display purposes only, to make it easier to navigate through large networks and locate individual cameras. You can also use a location or camera group to select multiple cameras at a time.Figure 16. Navigation: Explorer View22 C4607M-C(2/13)To select a camera to view:1.
