Party Software Statement
The ViconNet software runs on a specially compiled version of Windows XP Embedded that contains only
specific modules necessary for the application. Any alteration of this configuration or file structure is forbidden
unless approved in advance by a Vicon Technical Support representative.
The Installation of any unapproved 3rd party software on any of the Kollector units is not allowed. Such
installation of these devices can impede its real-time performance and cause the system to become unstable.
Vicon Industries Inc. will not assume any liability for the loss of service, operation, or performance resulting
from such installation and this action will void the warranty.
Software Version Compatibility
It is important to verify that the entire ViconNet network is using compatible versions of ViconNet software.
When incompatible versions are used, there will be trouble with video display, storage and remote control of
recorders. The ViconNet software version can be found at the top of the Main Screen in the software.
When setting up a ViconNet network, it is advised to use the same or similar versions of ViconNet software. A
backup version of the ViconNet application is included on CD with each recorder and can be used to upgrade
existing units when adding onto a system.
