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.
