About Endura
The Endura
™
system is a total system solution for network-based video security. Endura products control the origination, transport, recording, and
display of integrated, security-related audio and video.
The WS5000 advanced system software provides access to all of Endura’s operation and configuration features in one unified, user-friendly
interface. The interface uses drag-and-drop operations, shortcut menus, and tooltips to enable the most direct, intuitive interactions. Sound,
graphics, color, and on-screen messages provide helpful, ongoing feedback about user activity and system status. This interface allows users to
view live video and audio, control cameras, record, search, playback, and export video. The WS5000 software also allows users to perform
administrative functions, such as configuring devices, setting up users, adjusting network settings, and creating recording schedules.
Permissions to access these functions and all other system services can be configured to a fine level of detail. Users see only those devices and
features to which they have been granted permission.
The WS5000 software offers a powerful scripting interface. With scripts, users can flexibly and easily automate many system functions in almost
any combination. An enhanced search interface enables searches across multiple devices, time ranges, and event types. System logs can also be
searched, printed, and exported. Video clips and snapshots can be exported to a USB flash memory device or to a DVD±RW/CD-RW drive
(if these are available on the host workstation).
In addition to this operation manual, the WS5000 provides an HTML Help Viewer, accessible from the interface Help menu. The viewer allows
users to locate the topics they need without referring to a printed manual.
