Please print these instructions for your convenience, before proceeding to the Download and Installation of the InCharge Demo. If you are using Netscape Navigator as your Internet web browser, be sure to change to "black text" in your browser's 'page setup' before printing.

Follow These Instructions to Download and Install the InCharge System 3000, Version 4.0 Demo:

1. When you click on the red Download Demo link at the bottom of this page, a dialog window entitled "WinZip Self Extractor" will appear. Click on the "Setup" button. The download will proceed automatically.

2. A new dialog window will appear, presenting the Applied Integration InCharge Software License Agreement. Click "Yes" to continue.

3. A new dialog window will appear, presenting the "Readme File." Click on "Next" to continue.

4. A new dialog window will appear, entitled "Destination Folder." It informs you that it wants to create an ‘InCharge System' Folder on your computer in which to save your InCharge Demo. Click on "Next" and then on "Yes."

5. A new dialog window will appear, entitled "Setup Type." The word ‘All' is highlighted. Click on "Next."

6. A new dialog window will appear, entitled "Select Program Folder." This provides you with the opportunity to name the program that will appear in your "Programs" menu under your "Start" button functions. You can give it any name you wish, or leave it at the default name. When ready, click on "Next."

7. A new dialog window will appear, entitled "InCharge System Setup." It informs you that your installation is complete. Click on "OK."

8. On your desktop display, locate the new InCharge Viewer Demo icon. Double-click on it to launch it.

9. The InCharge System 3000 Viewer window appears. Locate the button labeled "Connect" in the left-side panel of the InCharge Viewer window, and click on it. This causes the InCharge System 3000 Demo to connect to the InCharge System 3000 Demo Server at Applied Integration Corporation in Tucson, Arizona.

10. If many other Demo users are simultaneously present, it will take the System a little while to get connected. The ‘Getting Connected' dialog window may appear, disappear, and re-appear several times while the System achieves your connection. Please wait patiently. When you are connected, you will see the live camera views appear in the viewing window. If the System is swamped with more Demo users than it can support, you will see a dialog window informing you that the Server has reached its capacity, and asking you to try again later.

11. In the lower center-left area of the InCharge Viewer window, all the currently available, active video cameras are listed. The cameras in this list which are highlighted in blue are the cameras whose views are displayed in the viewing window.

If it is night time in Tucson, Arizona, U.S.A., you will find many black camera views. Please visit us again when it is day time in Tucson, Arizona!

12. To change the camera(s) currently displayed, you can use your computer mouse to select the camera views you wish to see. You can select all, one, or any combination thereof. You can ‘click and drag' to select all, or select one at a time, or hold down the ‘Ctrl' key on your keyboard while selecting multiple desired cameras with left-clicks of the mouse. The cameras which you select will be displayed in the viewer window.

13. You can double-click on any displayed camera view, and it will become the only camera displayed, and will occupy the entire viewing window. Double-clicking again on that camera view returns you to the multi-camera view.

14. Notice the red outline of one of the camera views. The red outline means that camera is selected. You can click once on any camera's view to select it; you will see the red outline appear there. The selected camera can be viewed with the zoom feature. You can zoom in and zoom out of the selected camera's view by right-clicking and left-clicking with the mouse. The zoom target is the position of the cursor-arrow on your computer screen. Or, you can use the zoom keypad in the lower left corner of the InCharge Viewer window to zoom in and zoom out. When using the zoom keypad, use the direction-specifying buttons to the right of the zoom keypad to guide the target of your zooming.

15. Another feature of the selected camera (the view outlined in red) is the information provided regarding that camera in the lower center-right of the InCharge Viewer window. As you change the selected camera, notice that the camera information changes to reflect your selections.

16. For this software-only Demo version of the InCharge System 3000, notice that four of the function buttons in the left-side border area of the InCharge Viewer are unavailable. Of course for all purchased products, all the function-buttons work. However for this software-only Demo, we will omit those that are unavailable, and explore the remainder from top to bottom.

17. Save As Bitmap: Clicking on "Save As Bitmap" results in the appearance of a "Save Location" dialog window in which you may specify the location to save the displayed camera's image. The images which are present at the moment you click on "Save As Bitmap" are the images which will be saved. All of the camera views currently displayed in the viewing window will be saved; each camera will, in turn, present its own "Save Location" dialog window for you to specify the location in which to save the image. After you have specified the saving location, click on "Save" to save the image there as a bitmap. Or, if you decide not to save the image, click on "Cancel" and no image will be saved. When you are finished exploring "Save As Bitmap," you must click on the "Stream Live" button to return to the live streaming digital video.

18. Print Display: Clicking on "Print Display" results in the appearance of a "Print" dialog window, allowing you to specify the printer you wish to use. Click on the "Properties" button in the "Print" dialog window, and notice that you can choose to print either in portrait orientation or in landscape orientation. Printing in landscape orientation provides a larger version of the camera view printed in portrait orientation. Each displayed camera view will be printed, as of the moment you clicked on the "Print Display" button. Each camera view will occupy its own page, and it will be stamped with the camera number, the picture size in bytes, and the date and time the image was captured by the camera. The key idea to remember is that all of the currently-displayed camera views will be printed; if you don't want to print them all, then select just the camera(s) you want before clicking on the "Print Display" button. When you are done exploring the "Print Display" button, you must click on the "Stream Live" button to return to the live streaming digital video.

19. Logged Users: Clicking on the "Logged Users" button results in the appearance of a dialog window called "Users List." This window lists each currently-active Demo user either by their Username or by the generic name ‘guest' followed by a number. You have the ability to send an instant message to any other currently-logged-on user by double-clicking on their name in the "Users List" window. When you double-click on their name in the list, a "Send to [username] " window appears in which you can type your message. When you are finished creating your message, click on "Send" to send your message instantly to the other user, or click on "Cancel" if you don't want to send a message. The recipient of your message will immediately be presented with a dialog window displaying your message. They must click on "OK" to close that message window. When you are finished using the "Users List" window, click on "OK" to close it. Notice that the live digital video stream was not interrupted by this procedure.

20. Time Search: "Time Search" is your tool for playing back recorded video. Clicking on "Time Search" results in the appearance of a window entitled "Date Time Search." In this window you can specify a time period by start time and stop time. Highlight the numerals you wish to change, and enter your desired numerals; or use the up and down arrows on your keyboard to change the highlighted numerals. When you are satisfied with your changes, click on "OK."

A new dialog window then appears, asking you to wait while the System searches for the recorded video. As soon as the video is located, it will begin playing back behind the "Please Wait" window. All the currently-displayed camera views will play back simultaneously, assuming that video recorded from them exists for the time period you have specified. If you don't want to see all of the camera views, select just the view(s) you want before clicking on "Time Search." If the System can't find recorded video for the time period you have specified, that means it doesn't exist. Click again on "Time Search" and specify a different period of time before clicking "OK."

When you click on the "X" in the upper right corner of the "Please Wait" window, the video playback stream will pause and the "Please Wait" window will disappear. You can then use the right- and left-pointing arrows in the lower left-side area of the InCharge Viewer window to unpause the playback stream. The double-arrows will result in continuous playback, either backward (left-pointing) or forward (right-pointing). The single-arrows will result in playback one frame at a time, either backward (left-pointing) or forward (right-pointing). Click on any of these buttons to activate them and click them again to de-activate them.

When you have paused the playback stream on an image of interest to you, that is your opportunity to use the "Save As Bitmap" and/or "Print Display" buttons.

21. X Skip: Notice the function called "X Skip" in the lower left-side area of the InCharge Viewer window. You can use this feature to move through the playback stream more quickly. When you enter a numeral into the box below "X Skip," the playback stream will skip that many frames of video between displayed frames. For example, if you enter a '1' into "X Skip," the playback stream will display alternating frames of video, instead of each frame. Enter the numeral of your choice by using the spin-dial located below the word "X Skip." Then click on either the forward or the backward double-arrow button to begin your video playback.

When you are finished exploring the playback functions of the InCharge System 3000, you may click on the "Stream Live" button if you wish to return to the live streaming digital video.

22. When you're done viewing the Applied Integration Corporation live video views, click on the "Disconnect" button to close your network connection with the InCharge System 3000 Server. To close the program, click on the "X" in the upper right corner.

23. The InCharge System 3000 Demo and the Demo icon will remain available on your computer unless you intentionally delete it. If you want to remove the Demo program, do not delete the icons. Rather, run the "Uninstall" program which can be found in Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Please come back and visit Applied Integration Corporation's premises again!
