DigiGuard CLIENT

______________________________________________________

INSTALLATION

The DigiGuard PCI Client software does not require any hardware installation.  Since the
software installation is similar to the server software installation, please refer to the
Software Installation section.

Starting DigiGuard PCI Client

1. Click once on the Start button.
2. Click on Programs.
3. Choose DigiGuard PCI Client
4. Click on DigiGuard PCI Client

Similar to the Server software, the Client software starts up with most of the tool bars
disabled.   However, the leftmost button is NOT depressed.  This button is the Connect
button. The following sections explain how you can fully utilize your Client-Server system
for remote video monitoring and recording purposes.
