Each CIS maintains its own event logs, recording the operational status of all its cameras and its hardware. The SCS provides operator access to these event logs to enable maintenance and audit of the system.

The SCS also provides basic CD and DVD creation tools allowing video data to be exported to third parties.

Surveillance Control Stations enable operators to control all system functions and to view all live and recorded video. They also provide tools for camera control, downloading video, audio communication, map functions, and server configuration and maintenance.

The following example shows an operator’s view displaying map and camera views; many other display options are available.
