Pane 1
Displays the program state like Ready. Occasionally displays a sever errors.

Pane 2
Shows error codes. If the full error can not be seen or there are multiple errors check the error log file c:\program files\site monitor\SiteMonErr.txt for a history of errors and status.

Pane 3
Displays what mode the Video Monitoring Software program is in. "Desk" means it is running in local mode Desk Mode, not Web Mode. Desk, appears for Local Video Mode, and Local Monitor Mode. Pane 3 displays "Web" when in Web Mode which is for remote access.

Pane 4
ARMED means if  any sound or email alarms are enabled and if they are triggered then the alarm will be issued. If capture is enable, and motion is detected it will be recorded. DISARMED means that if any alarm happens it will not be issued. If any is motion detected it will not be recorded. ARMING means the alarms and capture will be activated after the preset time delay

Pane 5
Shows how many frames have been motion detected and saved to file since the program was started.

Pane 6
Displays the number of errors that have occurred since the program started.

Note:

It can take a second or two for the correct status to be displayed, depending on how busy the program is.

Pane 2, will show last error that occurred. It may remain displayed while the program then runs on to do other things without error, yet still displaying the last old error.
