 PRO Command

PART II

SOFTWARE

The software on your DVR includes all of the features in the remote playback software application you install on your PC. There are only 
a few diff erences. The most signifi cant diff erence is with the live monitor and live status modes which are only available locally on the 
DVR itself. Unless otherwise noted all playback software features apply to local operation as well as remote playback.

PART II is designed to help you identify and understand the purpose and function of software features at an overview level. It does not 
provide the degree of depth found in the DVR/playback help fi le.
