This is the main Surveillance King console.
As you can see it lists the monitors and their states and also details
various other information such as alarm counts. I've had to scale this
a bit to get it to fit which has messed it up a bit, you can click on
the image to view it full size. There are several things you can click
on in this view.

Clicking on the 'montage' link takes
you to this page which shows all active monitors and their current
state. There's a mixture of camera types in this view, both pure video
and network, colour and black and white

This image shows a 'live' feed from
one of the monitors. Under the live images are lists of some previous
events for event

The monitor in the previous shot
happened to be using a controllable Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) camera. So
instead of the event listing you can instead display a panel to control
the camera as in this image.

Going back to the console view, you might recal
there we various counts of alarms generated over various periods.
Clicking on these counts allows you to view the detals of the alarms in
one of two formats.

The first format is the timeline view show here

The alternative events view is a
general list, optionally with thumbnails as show here. This is usually
better for low bandwidth connectiosn whereas the timeline view works
best for high bandwidth connections, e.g. when you are viewing from the
same network as your Surveillance King box.

Whenever you view the events in a
list like this you will also see another small window pop up. This is
the filter window which allows you to customise or select which events
you see, or load previously saved filters and save filters to
automatically delete, archive or email events etc.

Whichever event list view you choose
(and you can always flip between them), you can review or get more
detail about an event by clicking on it to bring up the window shown
here. This event is about one third of the way through replay which you
can tell by the progress bar just under the image. You can also click
on this to navigate to certain locations in events.

This event has been caused by my cat wandering across the frame.

Replaying the event is good for
getting an idea of what was going on. However it is often useful to be
able to inspect certain frames more closely. Clicking on the 'Stills'
link takes you to this view, where you can view the individual frames
that make up an event. Frames that triggered the alarm, via motion
detection, are highlighted by a red border.

As I mentioned in the previous
image, there are various options you can use to control Surveillance King. In
fact there are lots! Here is a shot of the Options dialog which is
accessible from the Console view. There are several tabs that group the
options into categories. Clicking on the ? by an option will give you
help.

One of the keys to using Surveillance King successfully is the concept of
zones. Zones are areas within an image that you can define for the
purposes of motion detection, or even ignoring motion. Form the Console
view you can click on the Zones column to get this summary view of the
zones for a monitor. The zones are displayed on the image and also
listed below. They are colour coded depending on their purpose.
