EMERGENCY AGENT OVERVIEW

The Emergency Agent software is a utility that streams video across a Local Area Network to a Client PC when an alarm is detected on the DVR. The video that streams across can be stopped, played forwards and backwards, in slow motion or real speed.

The utility is loaded at startup and placed in the taskbar. It constantly monitors for a signal from the DVR. When an alarm signal is detected the Emergency Agent Image Viewer window opens and starts playing the video from the camera associated to the alarm.

1.Enter Setup and confirm you are in the Camera Setup menu.

2.Select a camera and then associate sensor(s) to that camera using the Sensor Connection check boxes.

3.Click the Network Setup button and make sure that Disable Remote Control is cleared.

Note The Emergency Agent uses one port to transfer the data through (the Emergency Port). The port can be adjusted inside the Network Setting menu if necessary. It is recommended that the default setting should be used unless the port must be changed.
