Video Recording
The Storage Server slows down or it 
takes longer to perform various 
configuration changes, such as 
registering cameras or recording 
schedules from the Viewer (for Windows 
Vista).
Make sure that less than ten cameras are registered on each Storage Server.
If the Storage Server is running Windows Vista, use Windows Server 2008 
instead.
Live video is no longer displayed from 
any camera (for Windows Vista).
Make sure that less than ten cameras are connected to one Viewer.
If you are using the layout sequence feature, set the interval to 20 seconds or 
longer.
If the Storage Server is running Windows Vista, use Windows Server 2008 
instead.
When the layout sequence feature is 
used, the video windows suddenly go 
blank and the video from the cameras 
can no longer be displayed.
When you use the layout sequence feature to switch quickly to a layout where 
there are a large number of video windows, the communication resources of 
the system may become insufficient. Reduce the number of cameras in a 
layout, or make the display interval for the layout sequence longer.
The Viewer slows down.
The performance of the Viewer depends largely on the specification of your 
CPU and graphics card. When the Viewer seems to slow down, try to reduce 
the number of cameras in the Viewer or decrease the frame rate.
If the video size or quality setting for the cameras is high, the large amount of 
video data may cause processing to take longer. Try adjusting the video quality 
and video size settings on the camera.
Problem
Solution
Nothing happens when I click any of the 
playback controls.
Move the playhead off of the [Live] position.
You must select a video window before you can play back video. In addition, 
the previous frame and next frame buttons (P. 110) and the [Extract] button 
(P. 112) are enabled only when one video window is selected.
Problem
Solution
I tried to save a recording, but an error 
message is displayed telling me that no 
video can be found in the selected 
timeline segment.
Make sure that a recorded video is included in the selected portion of the 
timeline (P. 109).
Problem
Solution
The Record Now feature cannot be 
used.
Make sure that the camera is not disabled on the [Advanced] tab in the camera 
properties. If the camera is disabled, click [Enable Camera] (P. 49).
The amount of Storage Server disk 
space usage is much higher than the 
calculated level (P. 67) and free disk 
space is low.
When the video size or quality setting of the camera is high, the amount of data 
per frame is large. In addition, if you are using anti-virus software, the software 
records communication between the Storage Servers and the cameras and the 
size of that log may reach several gigabytes. Change the anti-virus software 
settings to exclude the Storage Servers from the target list.
