Viewing Snapshots
You can view live images from the cameras connected to the Video Gateway in the configuration utility, in the
Snapshot Viewer
. This means you can see what is happening on-site wherever you are, as long as you have access
to a computer that is connected to the internet – even if you do not have a client device with a SerVision client
application available. Video is not supported by this feature, but snapshots can be updated at frequent intervals so
that you can receive a continuous flow of images that allows you to clearly see on-site developments as they occur.
Snapshots are transmitted from the Video Gateway to the browser as JPG image files. You can specify the desired
image quality during the Snapshot session.

Snapshot Viewer
