SCS OVERVIEW
SCS software is Network DVR Management Software; a powerful utility that allows 100 or more DVR units to be controlled using one
computer. This software allows you to view live video, search saved video, edit and configure setup on each DVR, and import maps
of buildings and other locations.
The SCS software was specifically designed as an enterprise software solution.
CAUTION: SCS and Emergency Agent are not compatible to run on the same PC. If you have Emergency Agent installed on this PC,
you must uninstall it before installing SCS. SCS will perform the same alarm notification as Emergency Agent.
