CONNECTING MOBILE CLIENTS TO A DX8100 SERIES HVR

Using a wired or wireless network connection, the DX8100 Mobile Client application can monitor live video from a number of geographically

dispersed HVRs. Figure160 shows a simplified wireless network connecting a pocket PC-compatible PDA device to a single DX8100 HVR.
