1.2 Log-in
When the VMS software has been loaded completely the
log-in window appears.
In addition to logging in, the user has the opportunity to
select the language of their choice.
The available languages are: German, English, French,
Dutch, Danish, Swedish and Polish.
Select a language and enter your user name and password. Then click the Login button (key
symbol).
1.3 User interface
When the user interface for the ABUS VMS was designed, it was highly important that it
should be user-friendly and intuitive. This has resulted in an interface which can be operated
simply by left-clicking the mouse (clicking and dragging).
The advantage of this is that it can also be operated using a touch-screen.
Of course, alternative methods of operation are also integrated for more experienced users
(e.g. context menus).
The following pages describe how the software is used and configured, thus enabling work to
be carried out quickly and professionally.
1.3.1 Interface layout
All important functions can accessed quickly with the ABUS VMS interface. By using
sliders, the current view can be switched to cameras or hosts, for example. This allows the
way that the interface is displayed to be customised, even when several screens are used.
Starting from the top left, you will find a menu bar with buttons for logging out/exiting the
software as well as calling up the system configuration, data backup (export) and options
for technical support.
Furthermore, the system status indicator and current date and time are found on the top
edge of the screen.
The system status indicator is comprised of four symbols which reflect the current state of
the system.
