Eyeline Video Surveillance System

Help v 2.06

On the main window of Eyeline the large window of the left side on the screen is called the Main Display. The small windows to the right are the camera preview windows. You can click on one of the small preview windows at any time and this windows will be displayed in the Main Display. Alternatively, you can hold Ctrl and press an arrow key to quickly change the selected camera.

This dialogue allows you to specify how the Main Display is updated and what is displayed there.

Automatically loop through cameras

If you select this Eyeline will automatically loop through all the cameras and display their images in the Main Display. They will automatically change periodically by the time you enter in Change display timer (seconds)

There are several modes for this changing:

  • Show all cameras - will loop through all cameras
  • Show cameras which are recording - will loop through all cameras that are recording
  • Show cameras detecting motion - will loop through all cameras detecting motion

Alert and display on motion

In this mode any camera that sees something moving (also called motion detection) will be selected as the main camera. By default it will only check every minute if motion is detected and change the camera accordingly. You may change this in the setting Motion Delay. If you set a value of zero (0) it will alert you every time it detects motion.

When the motion is detected, use the option Show program in foreground as an alert and show Eyeline to the foreground.

Manually select camera to display

In this mode the Main Display will never change. You can click on one of the small preview windows and that will become the Main Display.
