Click the reverse playback button and the video will play in reverse in the display window
Video Save and Backup
There are 2 ways of backing up data from the Veo17. The first method is accomplished
through the Search function. In most of the Search methods including Normal, Event, and
Tag Searches it is possible to create custom video clips and back them up to an external
USB storage device. A backup can not be made from within a Smart search. If something
is found through a Smart search that requires back up make note of the channel and date
and time and find the data through a Normal search to back it up.
Before you begin ensure there is a USB storage device connected to the USB port on the
back panel of the Veo17 machine. To back the files up utilize the toolbar in the lower left
of the screen. This toolbar is the same toolbar that contains the tools described under the
Tag Search section. Follow the steps for Search described above, Select the channel and
date and time. While performing a “Normal” search it is possible to back up clips from
one or more channels simultaneously.
Click the “Reverse” button will make the video play in reverse. The double arrows in
either direction will make the video speed up or slowdown just like when the video
is playing normally.
Click the “slower” button until the speed changes to Single Frame. Clicking the
pause button will advance the video one frame at a time.
Line Crossing Detection. Draw a line by clicking on the display screen for the end
points of the desired line. A pink line will be drawn on the screen.
Intrusion Detection. Click once for each corner of a quadrilateral to create a region
for intrusion Detection. Only one region can be set.
Motion Detection. Click and drag to remove areas of the screen from the detection
zone. The area of the screen covered in red grid patter will be the detection zone.
Clicking the red box will set the motion detection to full screen.
Once the video has been found a clip can be made and saved to an external
device. Use the Scissors icon to begin the clip. Either watch the clip until the end
of the desired event is located or use the “Ahead 30s” button or, drag the yellow
vertical line to the end point of the video and click the scissor icon a second time
to complete the clip.
Click the save button and the Backup window will open. The clip created in the
previous step will be in the list displaying the channel it came from, the Start and
End time of the clip and the size of the file.

NAT:
Universal Plug and Play can permit the device to seamlessly discover the presence of
other network devices on the he network and establish functional network services for
data sharing, and communications. You can use the UPnP function to enable the fast
connection of the device tot he WAN via a router without port Mapping.
Before you begin it is necessary to enable the UPnP function of the router to which the
Veo17 is connected. When the network working mode of the device is set as multi-
address, the Default Route of the device should be in the same network segment as that
of the LAN IP address of the router.
• Enable UPnP: Click to Enable the UPnP.
• Mapping Type: There are two options Auto or Manual.
• Option 1 Auto: With Auto Selected the Port Mapping items are read-only, and the
external ports are set by the router automatically. Click apply button to save the
settings. Click the refresh button to get the latest status of the port mapping.
• Option 2 Manual: With Manual selected as the Mapping Type the external port
Settings dialog box can be opened by clicking the Edit button in order to configure the
external port number for the server port, http port and RTSP port respectively.
• Note: The default port number can be left as the default or changed according to actual
requirements. External Port indicates the port Number for port mapping in the router.
The value of the RTSP port number should be 554 or between 1024 and 65535, while
the value of the other ports should be between 1 and 65535 and the values must be
different from each other. If multiple devices are configured for UPnP settings under
the same router, the value of the port number for each device will need to be unique.
• Click Apply button to save the settings.
Advanced:

maximum number of cameras through the network. A multicast address spans the
Class-D IP range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. It is recommended to use an IP
address ranger from 239.252.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. When adding a device to the
Client Management System software, the multicast address must be the same as the
device’s multicast IP.
• RTSP Port: The RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is a network control protocol
designed for use in the entertainment and communications systems to control
streaming media servers. Enter the RTSP port in the text field. The default port is 554
