Eyecopia 2.0 Help System
-Eyecopia's Archive Viewer-
To see events you have previously archived, open Eyecopia's Archive Viewer by going to Start Menu > All Programs > Eyecopia > Archive Viewer.
When prompted, locate the archive location on your system (typically on a CD or DVD drive). You may now view all archived events in the state they were in when archived. You have access to notes and you may search just like on the Monitor page, but you may not make any new changes to the archive at this point.
Share your Eyecopia archives with others
You may find that you want to share an archive with friends, family or even the authorities. These individuals will need to have the Eyecopia application installed on their computer. Although the Eyecopia program is a time-limited trial program, the Archive Viewer will remain fully- featured and accessible indefinitely. This is a free component of the Eyecopia product suite! Your friends and family can view your archive by opening the Archive Viewer (Start Menu > All Programs > Eyecopia > Archive Viewer ) and identifying the location of the archive you shared with them, usually through CD, DVD, or removable drive.
The Archive Viewer works just like the Monitor page in the main Eyecopia program, but without the ability to modify any of the information. For those of you viewing a shared archive who have not had experience with Eyecopia, the following brief description will be helpful.
The Event Inbox will display a summary of information about the event displayed in list form. When an event is selected in the Event Inbox, the event video and other information is displayed in the Event View area underneath the Event Inbox. The Event Inbox displays four columns of information:
- Camera: This identifies the name of the camera which detected motion
- Activity Start: This identifies the starting time of the motion event
- Activity Elapsed Time: This identifies the length of time the event lasted
- Categories: If an event is marked with category tag(s), the category icon will be displayed here
You can filter the list of events that are displayed in the Event Inbox by using Categories and/or Time Filters. You can select category buttons that represent events you would like to view. As you select category buttons, the Event Inbox will filter all events and only show those that match the categories highlighted. If you want to restrict the search to a certain period of time, you may use the Time Filters in combination with the categories.
