7 Web Client Software
The Web Client Software gives full remote control of the DVR using a PC. Up to four remote
users can access and control the unit. Remote live viewing, search, playback, and system
configuration are provided. Remote control functions include pan, tilt, and zoom control of
cameras, and video archiving. An on-line status overview of the connected unit is also
provided.
To access a unit, a user must log on using the same User ID and Password used for local
access. The Web Client will follow the permissions of the user account, restricting the
functions available to each remote user; for example, the ability to archive video. See
