Before You Use

Surveillance devices may be prohibited by law in your country. Though VisualServer is not only a high performance surveillance system but also a networked video server, ensure that the operation of such devices are legal before installing this unit for surveillance.

It is important to carefully check the contents with the "Package Contents" section after opening the package. Understanding the physical description can prevent damage caused by abnormal usage and reduce most problems during installation.

Basically VisualServer is a network device and should be easy to use for those who already have basic network knowledge. If there is a system error and it does not recover easily due to erroneous configuration, check the section "Auxiliary buttons" to restore factory default settings and run installation again.

VisualServer has been designed for various environments and can be used to build various applications for general security or demonstration purposes. For standard applications, read "System configuration" to understand all functions. To make the best usage of VisualServer, review "Advanced functions" to get creative ideas. To those professional developers, "URL Commands of VisualServer" will be a very helpful reference.

Those paragraphs preceding by should be fully understood and cautioned. Ignoring the warnings

may result in serious hazards.
