REMOTE VIEWER  SOFTWARE

5.1

Introduction to Remote Viewer Software

The

Remote Viewer

software allows you to view recorded and live video from the 

System4

Server on any remote

computer via a network or regular phone line. The remote computer does not need to have the 

System4

Server

software or any special hardware installed. All it needs is a connection to the 

System4

Server box and the 

Remote

Viewer

software. 

Remote Viewer

software downloads live and recorded video segments from the server so that you

can view and even save them on the remote PC.

NOTE:

DO NOT change the remote server name without following the procedures in the 

Change Machine

Name On Network

folder of the 

Start Menu

. Failure to do so will result in corruption of the database and cause

the system to malfunction.

The 

System4

Server comes completely configured with the 

Remote Viewer

software already installed. However, to use

the remote access, you must complete the following steps:

•

Connect the remote PC

. You must obtain the IP addresses for both the remote PC and the 

System4

Server, then

set up the remote PC for networking. If the server is on a local network, the system administrator or Internet
service provider (ISP) can assign IP addresses. It is possible to dial directly into the 

System4

Server.

•

Install the software

. While the 

Remote Viewer

software is already installed on the 

System4

Server, you must load

it onto the remote PC. To do this, insert the 

System4

Server CD and double click on the 

Autorun.exe

icon, then

select 

System4

Remote

(if the CD does not auto run, manually run 

SETUP.EXE

from the 

Remote Viewer

folder

on the 

System4

Server CD).

NOTE:

If you are unfamiliar with computer networking, it is recommended that you let a trained information

systems (IS) manager connect and configure the remote PC and server.

Connecting the Remote PC and Server

The procedure for configuring a remote PC depends on the desired type of connection. You can either dial directly
into the server through a modem, or connect over a network. You must first install a modem or a 100 BaseT ethernet
card into the remote PC by following the manufacturer's instructions. After that, you must physically connect the

System4

Server to the network or phone lines (the 

System4

Server PC is supplied with a 100 BaseT ethernet card, but

not a modem). Then, you can proceed with the following configuration steps on the remote PC:

1. Install Dial-up Networking (for direct dial only).

2. Install TCP/IP.

3. Obtain IP addresses and connect to the server.

Consult with your IS manager for exact instructions based on the operating system used on the remote PC.

Installing and Running the Software

The 

Remote Viewer

software is automatically included in the 

System4

Server installation. To install the 

Remote

Viewer

software on the remote PC, insert the 

System4

Server CD and choose 

Remote Viewer

when presented with

an installation option (if the disk doesn't auto run, manually run 

SETUP.EXE

from the 

Remote Viewer

folder on the

System4

Server CD).
