REMOTE SOFTWARE
13.1 FUSION REMOTE SOFTWARE OVERVIEW
The DVR unit was specifically designed to be fully operated and maintained remotely.
It connects using the standard TCP/IP protocol thorough connection types such as
DSL, Cable Modem, T1, ISDN, 56K Modem, LAN, and more. The Fusion Remote
software provides for viewing live video, searching through archived video, exporting
images and video clips; and provides virtually full Setup control.
Highlights:
• Search archived video
• View live video
• Export images and video clips
• Control relay outputs
• Setup administration
Basics:
The DVR can have up to 5 Simultaneous remote Connections. Each user can perform
functions on the DVR unit and will not affect the other users. The only exception to this
is accessing Setup. Only one user is allowed to access setup at any given time. The
Frames per Second passed to the Remote Client varies greatly depending on the
connection type and speed.
In order to log in to the DVR server, a user account must be made for the user.
This ensures that only authorized personnel are allowed to log in. In addition, each
user can be assigned different privileges that allow them or deny them access to
different functions. (See Section 5.9 – User Management.) For example, a user can be
denied Searching and Setup privileges and only granted access to view cameras 4, 8
and 16.
It is highly recommended that users not be granted Setup privileges
since this can pose a security risk. Only properly authorized
Administrators should have access to Setup.
The Remote software operates virtually the same way as the DVR itself.
Its appearance matches the DVR almost identically, however, there are a few minor
differences. Some search features are not available (such as the Index and Object
Searches) as well as some Setup options.
