13.1Remote Software Overview
The DVR unit was specifically designed to be fully operated and maintained remotely. It connects using the standard TCP/IP protocol thorough connection types such as DSL, Cable Mode, T1, ISDN, 56K Modem, LAN, and more. The Surveillix Remote software allows you to view live video, search through archived video, export images and video clips and have virtually full Setup control.
Highlights:

Setup administration
Basics:
The DVR can have up to 5 Simultaneous remote Connections. Each user can perform functions on the DVR unit and will not affect the other users. The only exception to this is accessing Setup. Only one user is allowed to access setup at any given time. The Frames per Second passed to the Remote Client varies greatly depending on the connection type and speed.
In order to log in to the DVR server, a user account must be made for the user.
This ensures that only authorized personnel are allowed to log in. In addition, each user can be assigned different privileges that allow them or deny them access to different functions. (See Section 5.9 – User Management.) For example, a user can be denied Searching and Setup privileges and only granted access to view cameras 4, 8 and 16.
It is highly recommended that users not be granted Setup privileges since this can pose a security risk. Only proper authorized Administrators should have access to Setup.
The Remote software operates virtually the same way as the DVR itself.
The appearance of it matches the DVR almost identically, however, there are a few minor differences. Some search features are not available (such as the Index and Object Searches) as well as some Setup options.
