Operating the Software

VIAAS software is quick and easy to operate. It will automatically load and launch when you click the LOGIN button at the upper right of the www.viaas.com web page. If you have logged in before, click SERVICE in the same place.

Most of VIAAS is about finding events in the past, but NOW mode shows you what is happening right now. If you want to keep track of what is going on, just log in - NOW is the default mode. You can get back to NOW mode anytime by clicking the NOW button in the upper left. And don't worry, everything you see is archived so you can access it again later.

VIAAS is based on IntelEvents™ which is a video segment and one or more images of the important events in the video segment. For example, if somebody walks through your lobby, an IntelEvent is created on the camera with video from before the person walked in to when they walk out. The IntelEvent also has a snapshot of the person when they are in the center of your lobby. In VIAAS, you will find see the snapshot when you move the playhead to that point in time.

The VIAAS interface fast for navigating IntelEvents. The default DashView, shows you the IntelEvents in a timeline on the lower portion of the screen and video control for each camera in the upper portion. There is a vertical line in the timeline with a knob at the top called the playhead. The playhead indicates the time being displayed in the camera controls. By clicking on the timeline or dragging the playhead, you change the images displayed in the camera controls.

The camera controls display the closest snapshot in time to the playhead. If you click on the image, you the video player appears and plays the video. As you roll over the control, a control tab appears, letting you adjust SETTINGS, go to thumbnail view, GO LIVE for a live video stream, or turn the camera off if you want to stop recording for a while..

That is about all you need to know to start using VIAAS.
