Using the Multi-Camera Viewer & Recorder Utility

After the Multi-Camera Viewer & Recorder Utility has been installed, the Multi-Camera Viewer & Recorder Utility icon will be displayed in two locations, one on your desktop and one in the system tray of your desktop’s taskbar.

NOTE: This Multi-Camera Viewer & Recorder Utility is backward-compatible with the Wireless-B Internet Video Camera, so you can use this Utility to control Wireless-G and Wireless-B Internet Video Cameras on your network.

There are two ways to open the Multi-Camera Viewer & Recorder Utility:

Right-click the icon in the system tray, and then click Main Program. You will see the Utility’s main screen.

It is divided into three sections, Camera Status, Camera functions, and viewing windows for Channels 1-8 of the Utility. (To view different windows, use the scroll bar on the right.)

Camera functions include finding or deleting Cameras, changing Camera settings, scheduling recordings, accessing saved files, and configuring the motion detection settings.

To configure the Utility settings, click the Utility Settings button. To get help information, click the ? button in the upper right-hand corner. To minimize the Utility, click the – button in the upper right-hand corner. To exit the Utility, click the X button in the upper right-hand corner.
