Allow/deny editing camera models

 

This button in the released position prohibits editing camera models. The ability to view and assign camera models remains.

 

Camera model filter

 

Show the Camera Model Filter panel. Using the panel, you can filter camera models in the Model of active camera list and in the Table of camera models according to the selected criteria.

If the filter is enabled, the icon on the button turns red .

Camera model card

 

Open the Camera model card box.

 

If the box is called from the Table of camera models, then the box dynamically displays the photo and the most important parameters of the camera model selected in the table (model name, camera type, key feature, sizes and resolution of the image sensor, lens focal lengths, view angles, distance of the built-in IR illumination, protection environment, supply voltage, manufacturer, vendor, cost).

Camera model

 

Assign

 

Assign model selected in the table to the active camera.

As a result of assignment, model parameters will be assigned to parameters of the active camera. Changing of some parameters of the active camera will be disabled or restricted according to model limits.

If model from the All models tab is assigned it will be copied to the Used models tab.

 

By clicking on the arrow to the right of the button, you can open a menu where you can choose whether to close the Table of Camera Models after assigning a model to the active camera.

 

If the checkbox Default values for empty parameters is checked, then when the model is assigned to the active camera, the camera parameters that are not assigned values in the model will be assigned default values. Otherwise, empty (in the model) parameters of the active camera will be left unchanged.

 

To assign one model to all selected cameras, use pop up menu of the Model of active camera combo box on the Tool bar of the Graphics window.By selecting a model from the Active Camera Model list on the Graphics Window Toolbar, you can also assign this model to the active camera without opening the Table of Camera Model .

 

+New (create new model)

 

The button is present on the All models tab only.

 

Create a new blank row for the new camera model. After clicking this button a new line will be added to the table. You can enter parameters of the new model to the line.

 

For specifying parameter, click the cell of table twice with an interval not less half of second. To turn the selected cell to edit state press Enter.

 

Depending on type of parameter, the cells may allow the selection from a list, enter into a simple or complex drop-down form.

 

When clicking on a cell with a photo, the Сamera model card window appears with an enlarged photo, and instead of a drop-down list, a menu appears allowing you to cut, copy, paste, delete, load from a file or save a photo to a file.

 

It is convenient to move the focus on the cells using the arrow keys. If you press the "down arrow" on the bottom line, a new line will be created.

 

It is possible to copy fragments into the table from Excel table. At that the number of cells and data types should coincide.

You can create modifications to the modifications, that is, the multi-level tree structure of camera models.

Modifications allow to take into account different versions of the same camera models with different parameters, as well as different modes and combinations of model settings.

 

You can turn independent models into modifications, and modifications into independent models. See Moving Columns and Rows.

 

Parameters in the new row can be edited.

Copy to All models

 

The button is present on the Used models tab only.

 

Copy selected model from the Used models tab to the All models tab. If such a model already exists on the All Models tab, it is proposed to overwrite it.

 

 

Data

Tools of the Data group operate the whole database of camera models, regardless of whether the data is visible or not.

 

Save

 

The button is present on the All models tab only.

 

Save model database to a file.

 

When filtering is enabled, filtered table records can be saved.

 

Possible formats:

* .cdz - VideoCAD internal format. This is a data file * .cdb and photos of camera models (if they exist) packed in a Zip archive;

* .cd2 - open text format. Data, table structure and photos of camera models recorded in one text file. Data saved in * .cd2 cannot be added to existing data, this format only supports full database replacement. The * .cd2 format stores not only data and photos, but also the table structure;

* .cvs - comma separated values. The default delimiter is ';' can be changed in the Options box;

* .txt - text file.

 

When selecting the * .cdb, *. Cvs, *. Txt formats, camera model photos are saved as graphic files in the save directory of the data file.

 

The preferred format for backup and creating your own database of camera models for distribution is * .cdz. If support of VideoCAD versions lower than 9.0 is required, then select * .cdb. The * .cvs and * .txt formats are offered for export, they cannot be opened in VideoCAD.

2. In the Table of Camera Models, duplicate the models you need.

3. Delete the entire database (click Delete).

 

       Update of the camera model database from cctvcad.com can be impossible for the following reasons:

 

1. Your computer does not have Internet access. Try to open any website. If nothing opens, contact your system administrator or ISP.

 

2. Try opening cctvcad.com in a browser.  If you can not open cctvcad.com in your browser, but other sites are available, then cctvcad.com is temporarily unavailable for technical reasons. Please wait and try connecting later.

 

3. Choose Main menu>Help>Check the latest version. If you can open cctvcad.com in your browser but a box with information about the latest version does not appear, then VideoCAD cannot connect to the Internet from your computer. In this case, contact your system administrator to allow this connection. You may need a password for the proxy server on your local network. See more: Internet.

 

4. More than a year has passed since the last purchase or paid upgrade of your license and the free support and upgrade period has ended. To continue accessing updates, you need to update your license.

Table

Tools of the Table group operate the visible table.

 

Export

 

Export table of camera models to any of the following formats: *.txt, *.csv, *.htm, *.rtf, *.xls, OLEXLS, *.xlsX, *.xml. File format can be chosen in Save as dialog box appeared. If OLEXLS is selected, MS Excel opens (if installed) into which the exported table is loaded.

 

You can export selected fragments using pop-up menu.

 

Import

 

Import table of models from formats: text and unicode text. The file format is selected in the open file dialog.

It is convenient to import data through the clipboard, by copying tables or table fragments from MS Excel and pasting camera models into the Table.

 

Print

       Views

 

View - is a set, width and order of visible columns.

In the table there are more than hundred parameters by which it is possible to describe the majority of security cameras existing at the moment of VideoCAD release. In real projects there is no necessity to use all parameters. At various times different parameters sets are necessary. You can hide unnecessary columns, place the rest columns in required order and save obtained view. After that at any moment you can restore the saved view (i.e. set and order of visible columns).

 

The list contains Default Views. By selecting the desired View, you can immediately get a set of parameters ready for a specific task. You can edit default views and create your own views based on them.

 

The views of the  Table of Camera Models are used to set the set, order and column widths for the Table of Camera Models in the PDF report.
