(4) Capturing images by operations from a viewer terminal (including a PC)
What is a "viewer terminal"?
In this manual, a PC or tablet on which DS-L4 Viewer is installed is called a "viewer terminal".

network. To operate the DS-L4 from an external information terminal, the viewer application (DS-L4 Viewer) must be
installed on the terminal. You can download images from the DS-L4 to the viewer terminal.
