3-1 SCM Brief
The SCM is for repository planning and management . When HD NVR Manager is installed, SCM program will be installed at the same time. By the SCM, the user can effectively manage all storage devices installed in the NVR for video recording. Before using the HD NVR Manager, the administrator should plan all accessible repositories in advance . The basic storage unit of the HD NVR Manager is called ‘volume’. Every volume may manage one or more hard drive, maximally all installed hard drives. SCM program is composed of four parts:

4-3 Camera Tree & Map
In the display mode, t he left panel below the system tab is the camera & map tree panel. The panel has two tabs: the camera tree tab and the map tree.
4-3-1 Camera Tree
The camera tree shows the NVR and all channels that have been added to the system as well as the subsidiary DI/DO points. The channel represents the video image that can be played on the viewer, and there are five channel types - the general IP camera, the PTZ camera, high-definition camera, 180 degree IP Dome camera, and 360 degree IP Dome camera. Some specific channels equip with sub channel or digital I/O will be shown in the tree. By observing the channel icon in the tree, the user may easily distinguish from the status of all connecting devices. The user may also view the image by dragging a camera icon and dropping to the viewer as well as changing the value of the DO points. If the sub channel function has been activated, the camera tree will show the sub channel as a sub node of the channel in the tree. Retrieved partially from the original camera image, the sub channel can be regarded as an independent video image that allows the system to play and record, just like an ordinary camera image.

4-3-2 Map
The map tab shows the map tree , and all added maps are nodes of the map tree. Like the camera tree, the node can be dragged from the map tree and drop it on the viewer. A map is a HTML-based file. The map can embed the connecting channels and associated DI/DO points. From the map, the user can learn the geographic position of the connecting cameras or DI/DO points as well as the type and usage status of the devices. The user can drag the camera icon not only from the camera tree but also from the map, and he/she can drop it in a viewer to view the image. In addition, the system allows the user to control the DO points on the map directly, just like the way on the camera tree. Inherited from its HTML base, the map supports the hyperlink function. The user can directly click the hyperlink on the map, and the viewer will access to the linked object. For example, a hyperlink to the Google Map has been added to the map. When the user clicks the hyperlink, the viewer shows the associated content. When the system has communicated with many cameras and DI/DO points, multiple maps will helps the user to find the preferred device quickly. Also, the combination of the map and the tour function will effectively helps the user to monitor all critical images.

4-4 Patterns & Tour
The layout and pattern panel (abbr. pattern panel ) is at the right-hand side of the function panel. A layout is a set of blank viewer distribution. A pattern is a customized layout with 1 to 16 blank or playing viewers on the screen. From a pattern, the user may view different camera images simultaneously. By switching different patterns, the user may view all camera images in a short time. The pattern panel includes two tabs: select layout and tour list. The select layout provides the user with layout templates for selection. Currently, the system offers 12 layout templates. The tour list shows all customized patterns by the user. When more than two patterns are saved in the tour list, the tour function can be triggered.

4-5-8 Play a PTZ Camera
The PTZ camera is a camera with the rotation base that helps the camera to move in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal direction. The camera can also change the len s focus for a wider or closer image. There are three key features that the PTZ camera has: Panning – control the camera lens to move in horizontal direction Tilting – control the camera lens to move in vertical direction. Zooming – control the lens focus to enlarge or shrink the image.
Chapter 4 System Operation
HD NVR User Manual 4-39
4-5-8-1 Basic Operation – Pan, Tilt, & Zoom
The user can control all connecting PTZ cameras directly from the vi ewer and run all functions of the PTZ camera.
Pan and Tilt
The panning function of the PTZ camera enables the lens of the PTZ camera to move in the horizontal direction, and the maximum movement range can up to 360 degree. The tilting function of th e PTZ camera enables the lens of the PTZ camera to move in the vertical direction, and the maximum movement range can up to 180 degree. The combination of the panning and tilting functions allows the user to monitor almost the entire 3-dimension horizon. To control the PTZ camera from the viewer, see the following steps:
Figure 4-27 The Panning and tilting function of the PTZ camera
1. Refer to section 4-6 ‘Time Slider’to show the Time Slider and click the PTZ
mode.
TIP: Press the hot key ‘O’ to toggle the PTZ mode and the normal mode.
2. Move the mouse to the center of the viewer. Hold the left key of the mouse and
move the mouse to the preferred direction. As the mouse moves, a red arrow line appears, and the image in the viewer moves synchronically. The length of the arrow line is the moving distance of the mouse. When the mouse moves farther, the line becomes longer, and the lens of the PTZ camera moves faster. On the contrary, the lens of the PTZ camera moves slower. When the line lies in the horizon, the PTZ camera is panning; when the line stretches vertically, the PTZ camera is tilting. When the line is leaning, the PTZ camera runs the panning and tilting functions simultaneously.

Zoom in/out
The zooming function controls the lens focus of the PTZ camera. When the zoom in function is running, the image is enlarged and closer; when the zoom out function is running, the image is shrunk and farther. The ratio of the enlarged picture or shrunk picture depends on the lens of the PTZ camera. To manipulate the zoom in/out function of the PTZ camera, see the following ste ps:

4-5-9 Play a ROI
A ROI is the abbreviation of “region of interest”, and the ROI is often used in the image which comes from the mega pixel camera. When the image is playing, the ROI can be played in other viewer separately. The high image resolution of the mega pixel camera makes the ROI image more distinctly even though the im age has been partially enlarged. When the ROI is created, a yellow rectangle frame appears on the image area, representing the visible area of the ROI. When the ROI image is played on an independent viewer, the movement of the yellow rectangle in the original viewer will generate the change of the ROI image simultaneously. The ROI function allows the viewer to simulate the PTZ function in a non-mechanic camera.
