3.3.2 Creating database fields
Database fields are used to save information that has been added externally. For
example, this may be information from cash machines (ATM) or cash desk systems
(POS).
All fields required for the connection of a cash machine are created automatically using
the Create default fields button.
Other user-defined fields can also be created in addition to these fields, which enables the
processing and storage of all incoming data.
Use the New button to create further database fields. Finally, assign a name, ID, type and
string length (for “String” types only).
If the date or time is used as a type, then the data is saved automatically in the
appropriate format (hour/minute/second hhmmss or day/month/year ddmmyy). In contrast,
a string type can contain letters, figures or a combination of the two.
In order for the database fields to be filled with data, they must be linked in the Serial
Alarm Unit.
The data is saved as soon as a detector on the Serial Alarm Unit is linked to a recording
process.
3.3.3 Setting up the archives
Archives are used for saving image information (video data). In order to cover all
possibilities, the archives have different properties.
These properties are as follows:
Ring archive:
The ring archive is the most common archive type used. Using this archive, old image
data can be overwritten when required. For example, when the ring archive is completely
full, the oldest video data is automatically overwritten. This means that video data is saved
continuously without the need for user intervention.
