Overview

Chapter 1: Overview
MobileView Navigator User Manual 3
MobileView Navigator consists of 6 panels and several major dialogs as listed
above. Panels are resizable by dragging the vertical left or right splitter bars.
Arrow icons next to panel names signify the ability to hide/unhide the panel. This
provides custom application layout styles depending on the activities that you
want to perform.
The Vehicle Selector panel is the central administration area in the software and
allows you to quickly search and access any device or camera in your system.
The Vehicle Selector panel features double-click or drag n’ drop capability to
view cameras or devices as a whole. By right-clicking on any object in the
Vehicle Selector panel, you will be exposed to a number of operations that can
be performed on the object. These include health diagnostics, device
configuration, disk analysis, properties, search, firmware uploads, and more.
This panel is permission-based, so if you do not have rights to perform certain
actions, you will not see the options.
The Video Display panel allows you to view both live and recorded video from
any video source in the system to verify and act on the content. It contains live or
previous recorded videos that can be launched from the Search, Vehicle
Selector, or Disk Analysis panels.
Users have several tile layouts to choose from when arranging the video
sources. Standard tile layouts include 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, and 5×5. We also
support a Custom Tile Layout with 1 large tile and 7 smaller surrounding tiles for
additional flexibility. Double-clicking in any single tile will bring that video to full
screen. Double-clicking the video again will restore the video to the previous tile
layout.
The Timeline toolbar allows you to manage video once it is loaded in the Video
Display panel. The Timeline toolbar features a toolbar, a timeline, playback
controls, and stream switching capabilities.
The Timeline toolbar allows you to select all video tiles in the viewer, zoom in and
out on the timeline, center the timeline, perform a Go To search, and put video in
live or playback. The Snapshot button allows you to take a snapshot of the
current play time of a selected video tile and send it to the Hard Drive for export.
The Video button allows you to send a desired video segment (of the time range
you specified with the green and red indicators) to the Collector for export.
The Disk Analysis panel allows users to seek for video at specific points in time.
Double-clicking anywhere on the timeline will automatically playback the selected
video at that specific date and time. Use the current live/playback cursor
(appears as a blue seek triangle icon) to seek and play the video anywhere along
the timeline. Use the green and red triangle icons to mark the beginning and end
of a desired video segment. Use the playback controls beneath the timeline to
further manipulate playback video.

The Search Parameters panel alows users to perform both simple and
advanced searches using various parameters. Filter parameters include Alarm,
Event, Start Time, End Time, and Cameras. Searches can also run from the
Search History and Search Device commands.
Search results are diplayed in the Search Results panel. User can double click
on the Start time column link from search results to view the video in video panel
starting from that time. If playback video is currently playing, all the cameras will
seek to the new time. If video is not playing, application will open streams for all
cameras at the alarm time.
User can also export the video from search results by performing right clicking on
any of the search results and select export video.

SQLite Copyright
All of the deliverable code in SQLite has been
dedicated to the public domain by the authors. All
code authors, and representatives of the companies
they work for, have signed affidavits dedicating their
contributions to the public domain and originals of
those signed affidavits are stored in a firesafe at the
main offices of Hwaci. Anyone is free to copy,
modify, publish, use, compile, sell, or distribute the
original SQLite code, either in source code form or
as a compiled binary, for any purpose, commercial
or non-commercial, and by any means.
The previous paragraph applies to the deliverable
code in SQLite - those parts of the SQLite library that you actually bundle and
ship with a larger application. Portions of the documentation and some code
used as part of the build process might fall under other licenses. The details here
are unclear. We do not worry about the licensing of the documentatio n and build
code so much because none of these things are part of the core deliverable
SQLite library.
All of the deliverable code in SQLite has been written from scratch. No code has
been taken from other projects or from the open internet. Every line of code can
be traced back to its original author, and all of those authors have public domain
dedications on file. So the SQLite code base is clean and is uncontaminated with
licensed code from other projects.
SQLite is in the
Public Domain
