Introduction

Introduction

The DVR Utility Software provides a network-based remote monitoring system by connecting your computer(s) with digital video recorders (DVRs). The DVR Utility Software, which includes an extensive range of features that take full advantage of leading-edge technologies and network functions, is able to satisfy various monitoring needs including the demand for ease of use and extendability.

bFeatures of the DVR Utility Software

•By simply installing DVR Utility Software on your computer(s), you can create a remote monitoring system that connects the computer(s) with DVRs via an IP network.

•A single network can contain up to eight computers connected with up to 4000 DVRs.

•From each networked computer, you can control networked DVRs using functions for monitoring, recording, playing back video as well as configuring the DVRs themselves.

•You can monitor video streamed from networked DVRs using a viewing pane that can be switched among three different layouts: single-view, four-view, and multi-view (4x4).

•All the functions of the DVR Utility Software can be operated via a simple graphical user interface that even novice users will find easy to use.

•The DVR Utility Software supports four levels of user access. When a user logs in, the DVR Utility Software enforces the user access level associated with the user’s password, thus effectively protecting the system from unauthorized access.
