Q: What are options for storage on external (remote) devices?
A: We have the capability to support RAID devices over a LAN.
Raid levels 0,1 and 5 are supported.
RAID Level 0 is like DAT Tape, You lose a tape (or a Hard drive) and you lose all the data. It
offers High-speed access and no fault tolerance.
RAID level 1 offers slow/med access and 100% copy of data.
RAID level 5 stores multiple copies of the same data across many hard drives. It offers slow/med
access and you can lose up to 1 HDD and not lose any video.
Q: The titling in my LMSW display changes back and forth from Green to yellow, why?
A: This color change can be interpreted 2 ways..
First, the text is green when there is no activity in the scene being viewed and yellow when there
is motion. Secondly, since the KOL does not record if there is no motion (dependant on the
sensitivity setting) the yellow can be indicative of the fact that the camera is being recording to the
hard drive at that time. Green indicates that video from that camera is not presently being stored
on the hard drive.
Q: Can I use this the programming for Internet connection there is the option for selecting DHCP?
A: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP
addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a
different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's
IP address can even change while it is still connected. We do not support this option
because the LMSW requires a static (unchanging) IP address to maintain security of the
transmitted video.
Q: Can I use this the programming for Internet connection there is the option for selecting DNS?
A: DNS (Domain Name Service), is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP
addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The
Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name,
therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address.
While the KOL products do support DNS, it is not typically used in a LAN configuration.
