DEVICE CONFIGURATION Search for and modify devices

• searching for and adding CCTV devices on the local network;
• manually adding devices from outside the local network via IP address or domain;
• the ability to create device groups for easier identification and management;
• editing added devices, easily moving them between groups;

ADVANCED CONFIGURATION Configuration of special devices

• identification of special cameras to unlock additional features;
• PTZ, enables camera control via the PTZ panel;
• FE, enables control of the ‘fisheye’ stream;
• LPR, activates the vehicle monitoring module based on camera functions for number plate recognition;
• Thermal, unlocks the ability to view footage from a thermal lens, enabling the reading of events from body temperature measurement cameras (HBTM);
• linking specialised cameras (and others) to recording devices, so that recognised events can be reviewed in the recordings;

ALARM RULES Define automatic responses

• the ability to utilise camera and recorder functionality to configure alarm responses;
• alarm sources: motion detection, camera obstruction, signal loss, smart alarms, alarm input, disk error or disk full;
• ‘Responses to alarm source’: display a live view, play back a channel’s recording, take a single photo or a series of photos from the channel, call up a preset on a PTZ camera, or activate an alarm output on the recorder or camera;
• multimedia responses in the form of custom graphics and sound, and email notifications;
• an unmissable alarm response window, with full functionality of the stream toolbar;
• each alarm rule has its own response window

ROUTES AND TASKS Organise routes into tasks

• can be launched automatically when a user logs in;
• full-screen task;
• refreshes ‘lost’ streams

PC-NVR Local recording settings

• stream retention;
• recording of the main and/or additional streams, along with events;
• recording schedule;
• scheduled single images or image sequences;
• schedule for downloading recordings from devices;
• protection of recordings against overwriting, with the option to copy to a USB drive and delete

REPORTS LPR reports and configuration

• generating reports from data collected via camera readings for number plate recognition and body temperature measurement;

ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT Manage users and their permissions

• creating, editing and deleting user accounts with features such as a password generator or a password preview (displayed as dots);
• defining access permissions for devices regarding live view, playback and downloading of recordings, as well as control of PTZ devices;
• defining permissions for individual application modules;
• defining permissions to copy and delete protected recordings and photos;
• creating templates that will populate the desired permissions with a single click when creating or editing an account;
• the ability to assign a task that will run when a user logs in;
• a ‘guard’ function, which allows monitoring of the system operator’s activities;

CLOUD Configure devices in the cloud

• the application enables the management of devices added to a BCS cloud account;
• the BCS P2P cloud is the ideal solution where network infrastructure and internet access are limited at the installation site

APP SETTINGS Change app settings

• settings relating to folders for recordings, photos and databases used by the app;
• default settings for app functions such as the visibility of channels when not logged in, drawing IVS rules on the camera feed, restoring the last view after closing the app, and displaying notifications;
• general settings for the PC-NVR module, such as the size of the recording folder and pre- and post-alarm times for recorded events;
• default parameter settings for vehicle monitoring, body temperature measurement and video intercom modules;
• import/export of application configurations;
• settings for ‘security guard’ operator control and report export;
• configuration of email accounts for sending reports and recipient accounts;

TOOLS PROGRAMME Launch the BCSConfig Tools programme

• search for devices on the local network;
• change IP addresses on devices, including for multiple devices simultaneously;
• change the P2P server on devices;
• a storage space calculator enabling the calculation of approximate time or capacity values for camera recordings;

STATION CONFIGURATION Linking stations to cameras

• creating a virtual workstation and assigning a camera to it;
• retrieving recordings from a specific workstation based on defined parameters such as date, time range and specific events;

Subtitles Configuring the display of subtitles on the video feed

• displaying captions on screen alongside the camera video stream;
• integrated POS support: Posnet, Forcom, Elzab, Novitus (integration with any caption source is possible);
• custom settings for position, style, size and font colour for the main text and 3 tabs of highlighted text;
