7	Web Client Software
	The Web Client Software gives full remote control of the DVR 400 Series using a PC. Up to
	four remote users can access and control the unit. Remote live viewing, search, playback, and
	system configuration are provided. Remote control functions include pan, tilt, and zoom
	control of cameras, and video archiving. An on-line status overview of the connected unit is
	also provided.
	To access a unit, a user must log on using the same User ID and Password used for local
	access. The Web Client will follow the permissions of the user account, restricting the
	functions available to each remote user; for example, the ability to archive video. See
	Section 5 Operating instructions, page 28 chapter for more details on User Levels.
7.1	Getting started
	To use the Web Client, the unit and the PC must be able to connect via a TCP/IP network
	connection. Follow the instructions in Section 6.5 Network, page 66 to ensure the unit can be
	reached on the Network.
