General Description
2 General Description
For Windows OS the functionality is available in the following editions: SecurOS Monitoring & Control Center,
SecurOS Datacenter, SecurOS Enterprise, SecurOS Premium, SecurOS Prof essional.
SecurOS System Dashboard Module is designed to control the performance of video cameras, monitor
the technical parameters of video transmission and collect the relevant statistics. The Module also
provides visualization of video cameras performance and generation of various reports.
Main features of the SecurOS System Dashboard are:

· Monitoring the performance of video cameras via the web application.
· Setting the values of the video stream properties, according to which the operability of the cameras
is determined.
· Recording camera operation statistics to the database.
· Recording remote system's camera operation statistics to the database.
Notes:
1. SecurOS System Dashboard version 11.3 or higher must be installed in the Remote system to collect
statistics of this Remote system cameras by the Monitoring center.
2. The statistics of the same camera in the Monitoring Center and the Remote system can be different,
because the SecurOS System Dashboard modules can have different technical specifications (camera
passport data) for this camera in the separate configurations.
3. If the time of Monitoring Center and Remote system is not synchronized and the difference is more
than one minute (time zone difference is ignored), the status information of the Remote system
cameras displayed in the Monitoring Center web application may not correspond to reality. However,
in this case, the collected statistics will be correct.
· Creating reports on the cameras operation during a specified period of time.

· Export of created reports in Microsoft Excel and HTML formats.
www.issivs.com

5.3.2.1 Time Spent by the Cameras in "Performs properly" Status

This graph presents the time spent by selected Cameras in the Performs properly status (see Figure 18).
To the right of the graph, total time spent by the Cameras in Performs properly status for the specified
time interval is indicated in numerical form. Hover the cursor over the column to display the exact
value (hours and minutes).
Figure 18. Time spent by the cameras in "Performs properly" status
5.3.2.1.1 Graph Scaling

Each graph displays its corresponding statistics for a specified time interval. The X-axis is divided into
parts, the value of which depends on the time interval. For example, if the specified time interval is 1
year, the X-axis will be split into 12 parts, each corresponding to one month.
Scaling the graph numerically reduces the time interval of the entire graph to a time interval of an
arbitrary interval. Each such interval is represented as separate graph column (see Figure 19). Scaling is
applied to the graph when clicking on its column.
Notes:
1. The scaling applies only to the selected graph and does not affect the report data, including when
exporting (see Exporting Report).
2. If the time interval of the graph is less than 24 hours, the graph can not be scaled.
3. The function of graph scaling is not provided for the graph Time Spent by the Cameras in
"Performs properly" Status as a Percentage of the Required Time.

The result of scaling applied to the graph above (see Figure 19) is shown in Figure 20.
Figure 20. Scaled graph "Time spent by the cameras in "Performs properly" status"
The graph can be scaled several times — until the maximum level of scaling is reached, depending on
the value of the report time interval. If scaling to the next level is not possible, clicking on the column
will display the corresponding tooltip. To return the graph to the previous scale level, click the
button in the upper left corner of the graph area.
5.3.2.1.2 Cameras Statistics Detailing

Except for generating reports with a single Camera selection, each graph displays only summary
statistics. To view the statistics for each individual Camera, click the Details by cameras button at
the top of the graph (see Figure 21).
Notes:
1. Detailed statistics are presented taking into account the Graph Scaling.
2. Detailed statistics do not affect the report data, also when exporting (see Exporting Report).
3. The feature of Cameras statistics detailing is not provided for the graph Time Spent by the Cameras
in "Performs properly" Status as a Percentage of the Required Time.

5.3.2.2 Time Spent by the Cameras in "Performs properly" Status as a Percentage of the
Required Time
This graph presents the time spent by selected Cameras in Performs properly status as a percentage of
the required time (see figure 24). Similar to other graphs, the X-axis of this graph is divided into time
intervals, each of which corresponds to a separate column. The maximum value for each column is
100%, and the minimum value is 0%. The value for each of the columns represents the percentage ratio
of the factual operating time of the Cameras with the status of Performs properly to the required, and
only the data corresponding to the columns time intervals are considered.
The total percentage for the specified time interval is given in the upper right corner of the graph area.
Hover the cursor over the column to display the exact value (percentage).

Notes:
1. The graph data are not correlated with the data of Time Spent by the Cameras in "Performs
properly" Status graph, because they represent only the percentages, not the absolute values.
2. The Graph Scaling and Cameras Statistics Detailing features are not available for this graph.

5.3.2.3 Time Spent by the Cameras in "Fault" Status

This graph presents the time spent by selected Cameras in the Fault status (see Figure 25). To the right of
the graph, total time spent by the Cameras in Fault status for the specified time interval is indicated in
numerical form. Hover the cursor over the column to display the exact value (hours and minutes).
