4.2 EMERGENCY AGENT
The Emergency Agent software is a utility that streams video across a Local Area Network to a Client PC, when an alarm is detected on the
NVR. The video that streams across can be stopped or played forwards and backwards in slow motion or real speed.
The utility is loaded at startup and placed in the taskbar. It constantly monitors for a signal from the NVR. When an alarm signal is detected, the
Emergency Agent Image Viewer window opens and starts playing the video from the camera associated to the alarm.
