10.8 Hardware Tab
The Hardware tab informs VIGIL Server of the specific hardware you may have installed. It also configures the auto-
mated time synchronization.
Max Allowed
PCI Band-
width
Restricts the amount of data the video capture card can push through the PCI bus.
Max Total IP
Camera FPS
Restricts the combined total frame rate for all network cameras. Lower the setting from default if the VIGIL Server
experiences performance issues when the Live Viewer is open.
Use VGA
Hardware
Acceleration
When enabled, software rendered Live Viewer (and IP cameras in hardware Live Viewer) will be rendered using Hard-
ware 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 Chan-
nel
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 Cap-
ture
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
Tem-
perature
Threshold
Set the maximum temperature for the VIGIL Server’s Hard Drives. If a Hard Drive exceeds this temperature, a warn-
ing 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.
Synchronize
Clock With
VIGIL Server can connect to a time server to synchronize the VIGIL Server 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 VIGIL Server system’s time is off by more than twelve hours, the time will not
be synchronized.
