Web Client Software
The Web Client Software gives full remote control of the DVR 600 Series using a PC. Up to
four remote users can access and control the unit. Remote live viewing, search, playback, and
system configuration are provided. Remote control functions include pan, tilt, and zoom
control of cameras, and video archiving. An on-line status overview of the connected unit is
also provided.
To access a unit, a user must log on using the same User ID and Password used for local
access. The Web Client will follow the permissions of the user account, restricting the
functions available to each remote user; for example, the ability to archive video. See
Section 5 Operating instructions, page 29
for more details on User Levels.
