3  Software on Your PC

The software package you install on your PC is called “PRO-Command Playback.”  This application allows you to connect your PC to a 
DVR by network or modem. The remote software is identical in most respects to the Playback Mode software running on the DVR (See 
Section 2.3). In addition to remotely viewing video and being able to perform all the same setup, Playback allows you to review video 
copied from the DVR via CD/DVD, USB, or remote download.

3.1  

Installing PRO-Command Playback

The CD included with this manual contains the full installation of the PRO-Command Playback software package. Install 
PRO-Command Playback on your PC to connect to your DVR(s). To complete installation* follow these simple steps:

1.  Insert CD into your PC.
2.  If the Auto play feature is disabled on your PC, perform this additional step:

a. 

Open CDROM from any computer, right click and select Run as administrator.

3.  At the main menu select “Install Playback Software.
4.  Follow the directions provided.

If you already have an earlier version of playback on your PC, you do not need to uninstall it. The installer will automatically update the 
software or you may just install the new version.

After completing installation the initial main menu will still be on the screen. From here you may choose to open this manual electroni-
cally or take advantage of any of the other extras found on the CD.

3.4    Network Communication

Network (TCP/IP) communication provides excellent fl exibility and potentially the highest communication speed. Using TCP/IP, mul-
tiple remote PCs may connect to the same DVR at the same time. With additional network hardware the DVR may be accessed outside 
your LAN via DSL, VPN, WAN, or open Internet. Contact your Network Administrator and/or ISP for support with these applications.
