Examples of User-Accessible Features
•
NetGuard-EVS. With a regular Internet Explorer browser, users connect to the surveillance server
where they are presented with a welcome page. From the welcome page, users can download
NetGuard-EVS software and install it on their computers.
•
Language packs, which let users add additional language versions to their existing NetGuard-EVS.
Users download such language packs from the welcome page.
•
NetGuard. Users connect to welcome page and log in to NetGuard, which simply runs in a browser
without any need for software installation.
•
Various plugins. Downloading such plugins can be relevant for users if your organization uses add-
on products with the NetDVMS solution.
•
What Does the Welcome Page Look Like?
The welcome page is a simple web page with links to downloading or running various features. It is available in a number
of languages; users select their required language from a menu in the top right corner of the welcome page.
To view the welcome page, simply open an Internet Explorer browser (version 6.0 or later) and connect to the following
address:
http://[surveillance server IP address or hostname]
If the
Image Server
has been configured with a port number other than the default port 80, you must specify
the port number as well, separated from the IP address or hostname by a colon:
http://[surveillance server IP address or hostname]:[port number]
The content of the welcome page is managed through the Download Manager; therefore the welcome page will often look
different across organizations.
Initial Look
Immediately after you install NetDVMS, the welcome page will provide access to two features: A NetGuard-EVS and a
NetGuard in language versions matching the language version of your NetDVMS system. Examples:
•
If you have installed an English-language version of the NetDVMS software, the two access clients
will initially be in English.
•
If you have installed a Chinese-language version of NetDVMS, the two access clients will initially be
in Chinese.
