10.8 Hardware Tab
The Hardware tab informs VIGIL Server of the specific hardware you may have installed. It also configures the
automated time synchronization.
Max Allowed PCI
Bandwidth
Restricts the amount of data the video capture card can push through the PCI bus.
Max Total IP
Camera FPS
Use VGA
Hardware
Acceleration
Restricts the combined total frame rate for all network cameras. Lower the setting from default if
the DVR experiences performance issues when the Live Viewer is open.
When enabled, software rendered Live Viewer (and IP cameras in hardware Live Viewer) will be
rendered using Hardware Acceleration (YUV), when disabled they will be rendered using GDI.
Hardware CODEC
On PROSERIES systems, select the hardware CODEC to use, MPEG4 or H264. Changing the
Hardware CODEC requires a system reboot.
Skip Channel
On PROSERIES systems, enable Skip Channel to only use even numbered channels. This reduces
the number of inputs by half, allowing each input to reach maximum FPS and resolution.
Non Real Time
Capture
On PROSERIES HCI version cards, enable this option to enable recording at higher resolution then
352x240. Enabling this option will cause the feed to not record in real time.
Hard Drive
Temperature
Threshold
Set the maximum temperature for the VIGIL Server’s Hard Drives. If a Hard Drive exceeds this
temperature, a warning will be displayed and an entry placed in the Audit Log. The View button
will open a window to display Information about the Hard Drives in the system, including
Temperature, Model, Serial Number and Firmware version.
VIGIL Server can connect to a time server to synchronize the DVR time. When enabled, you can
choose to sync with either an NTP server or to another PC that can respond to a NET TIME
request. You must specify which NTP or NET TIME PC to synchronize with. If the DVR system’s
time is off by more than twelve hours, the time will not be synchronized.

take a few minutes to complete the request.
Opens the Windows Event Viewer. Select the System log and look for an
entry at the top of the list with the Source “W32Time”.
Note: The NTP test will not record an event in the Windows Event log if the
time is already correct.
Memory Warning
Threshold
This setting monitors the memory usage of the VIGIL Server process. Due to limitations in
Windows there is a limit on the amount of memory a single process can address. If the process
reaches the configured threshold, a warning will pop up indicating that the memory usage is high.
If this warning pops up please contact your system administrator or support department.

Open the AUX Device Settings window for configuring other attached devices such as DIO boards
and encoders.
