  Frequently Asked Questions
 
 Questions about the daily uses
 

           When I monitor the webcams in 3 Camera horizontal style, the view flash frequently, how could I do?

 

First, please click the webcam robot main window to make it the top window and get the focus of the operating system.

Second, please check the task bar or the system tray of the operating system, and make sure that no unnecessary programs are running.

In most cases, if the programs hidden (or minimized) in the task bar are running, they may repaint the whole screen regularly. As a result, the webcam robot will be forced to repaint and it will flash.

For example, if you use the windows explorer to browse your files and minimize it to the task bar, then, the webcam robot will flash frequently because the windows explorer repaints the screen in the several seconds.

         

          When I monitor four webcams from the web browser, the first and the second webcams could refresh automatically, but the third and the forth webcams cannot refresh on time?        

 

Sometimes, it is the network problems. Sometimes, it is our webcam robot service is slow. Sometimes, it is because your web browser do not get the system focus. As a result, the operation system do not allocate enough resources to the web browser.

Resolution:

Step 1 Click your web browser, and make it the top window of the operation system so it could get the system focus.

Step 2  After step1, the problem cannot be solved. then close all other running software as many as possible. So your web browser could get more system resources.

Step 3 After step2, the situation cannot be better, then check whether your network speed is usual. If your network speed is very slow at this time, then please monitor after some time.

Step 4 Only monitor the webcam which is the most important. For example, only enable to monitor 1 or 2 webcams from the web browser. The more webcams you monitor, the slower the data transfer.

Step 5. If you register our software no more than 30 days, then we encourage you to refund and to look for other better software.

 

          Is your remote monitoring safety?

 

At this time, our remote monitoring is only simple protection. Only require the username and password.

That means, if some one intends to share your remote monitoring, it will be not difficult to do it.

Then, how to avoid this situation? Just remote monitoring, when it is necessary. For example, for the individual webcam,  you could indict when to enable the remote monitoring of web browser, and when to disable it, just from the camera setting scheduler tab. For all webcams, from the remote monitoring setting dialog, you could set the remote monitoring of web browser only in the indicted period.

For email and Ftp upload alerts, you could indict the work hour from the fire tab of camera setting.

        

          Why do we need to use XVID video codec?

 

For high quality and smaller size of the video files when you record the video.

If you select other video codec to record video from the webcam robot, you may obviously realize the quality of the video is poor. Because the webcam robot inserts less frames every second than several other webcam surveillance software.  However, the XVID video codec is good at doing with the situation. Although the frame number is less, the video is highly qualified.

         

         Could I attach the new webcam while the webcam robot is running?

        

The webcam robot can recognize the new webcams automatically when starting. However, it cannot recognize the new attached webcam after it has already started.

So, please attach all your webcam before starting the webcam robot. Or, if you already start the webcam robot, you need to exit and restart again.
