Web Client Software

The Web Client software (loaded on a PC) gives full remote control of the DIVAR over the web.
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/
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 Log,
page 108 for more details on User Levels.
