Server and Client Components

There are two components in ST7501: LiveClient and Playback.

The Server provides a centralized management site for video recording. LiveClient is a client program for the user to login and modify the server's configuration, edit the server's recording storage, schedules and many other functions on the server; Playback is another client program for the user to login and browse the recorded video database and video clips related to specific events on the server.

Usage Scenario

The three components can be installed separately or combined together on the same host. You can just install the components you need on your local host. For example, you can only install ST7501 LiveClient on your local computer to monitor the live video from a remote ST7501 Server; or you can only install ST7501 Playback on another local computer to login to a remote server to review recorded videos.

For users that only manage a few cameras, we recommend installing the client and server components on the same computer. A host with all of the three components installed is recognized as a stand-alone site. All the functions can be simultaneously performed on one single site.
