Installing Smart Pss On A Macintosh; Using Smart Pss Log In; Adding A System To Pss - Q-See QC SERIES User Manual

INSTALLING SMART PSS ON A MACINTOSH

Smart PSS can be either installed from the included CD or downloaded from our support
site, Q-See.com/support. The download will be in the form of a .zip file which your computer
should automatically decompress. On the CD, it will be located in the following directory:
Software PSS - Viewer Program PSS for Mac. Simply drag and drop the application into
your Applications folder - or any other desired location - on your hard drive. You may wish to
create an "Alias" or shortcut on your desktop from the computers File menu or drag and drop
the program's icon to your Toolbar for easy access to the program.
4.2 USING SMART PSS
LOG IN
Upon launch, you will be asked to log in. Enter admin for both the user name and password.
You can (and should) change this to ensure your security. Instructions for changing your
password are included later in this section. The Admin account cannot be deleted.
IMPORTANT! Please keep in mind that this manual and other documentation
are freely available for download online. Therefore it is absolutely essential that
you should change the passwords on your system and any application used to
access it in order to maintain the integrity of your system.
Once you have logged in, you will see the
Device Management page. In the future,
once you have added systems to Smart
PSS, you'll be able to use the Home page to
manage them.
The Device Management page consists of
two tabs: Add Device and Group Manager.
The first is used to add DVRs, NVRs and IP
cameras to the Smart PSS program, while
the second tab allows you to organize them
into groups for your convenience.
You can switch between the two pages as
desired. The Device Management page
can be closed, and its icon removed from the
top of the Smart PSS program window by
clicking the 'X' in the upper right of the icon.
It can be re-opened by clicing on the Device
Management icon in the Home page.

If you are adding systems that are located on the same network as the computer, click on
Auto Add. Smart PSS will then search the network for any DVRs, NVRs or IP cameras that
are connected. Those that are found will be added to the list of systems that are available to
be added to Smart PSS. Select which systems to add using the check box to the left of that
device's name.
