Administration
For users without administrator rights, access to certain features in NetDVMS may in some
organizations have been restricted.
When this is the case, you will be asked to specify the administrator password in the Administrator
Login window in order to get access to the restricted features.
The Administrator Login window
You will only be asked to specify the administrator password when you open the
Administrator
application
, by selecting it from Windows' Start menu or by clicking the Administrator shortcut on the
desktop. This will only be the case when access to the Administrator application has been password-
protected.
Administrator Window
The Administrator window, the main window in the Administrator application, is used by the
surveillance system administrator for configuring NetDVMS upon installation or whenever configuration
adjustments are required, e.g. when adding new cameras to the system.
Access: You access the Administrator application by selecting it from Window's Start menu or
by clicking the Administrator desktop shortcut. Access to the Administrator application may be
password protected, in which case you will be asked to provide the administrator password in the
Administrator Login window
.
IMPORTANT: Changes you make in the Administrator application are not applied on your surveillance
system until you exit the Administrator application. This allows you to try out various settings before
making them take effect.
The Administrator window's Device Manager section provides an overview of devices on your
surveillance system; the window's buttons let you configure your system.
Device Manager Section
The Device Manager section—located in the middle of the Administrator window—lists all added
devices with attached cameras, microphones and speakers. The Device Manager section thus provides
you with an overview of your surveillance system.
