NetGuard
NetGuard provides users with access to the surveillance system. NetGuard does not offer nearly as many features as
NetGuard-EVS. The main benefit of NetGuard is that it is accessed through a browser and run directly from the
surveillance system server. This eliminates the need for installing any client
software on the user's computer.
Tip:
