Introduction
The DVR Utility Software provides a network-based remote monitoring system by connecting your
computer(s) with digital video recorders (DVRs). The DVR Utility Software, which includes an
extensive range of features that take full advantage of leading-edge technologies and network
functions, is able to satisfy various monitoring needs including the demand for ease of use and
extendability.
b Features of the DVR Utility Software
By simply installing DVR Utility Software on
your computer(s), you can create a remote
monitoring system that connects the
computer(s) with DVRs via an IP network.
A single network can contain up to eight
computers connected with up to 4000
DVRs.
From each networked computer, you can
control networked DVRs using functions for
monitoring, recording, playing back video
as well as configuring the DVRs
themselves.
You can monitor video streamed from
networked DVRs using a viewing pane that
can be switched among three different
layouts: single-view, four-view, and
multi-view (4x4).
All the functions of the DVR Utility Software
can be operated via a simple graphical user
interface that even novice users will find
easy to use.
The DVR Utility Software supports four
levels of user access. When a user logs in,
the DVR Utility Software enforces the user
access level associated with the user’s
password, thus effectively protecting the
system from unauthorized access.
