With the introduction of the NetVu Console, this all changes, a new era of CCTV is born. The NetVu Console ensures multiple DVR systems can seamlessly be linked to a single point of control with only an Ethernet network connection.
The NetVu Console includes a unique colour-coded, soft key menu structure and on-screen Graphical User Interface (GUI). Context sensitive, the menu structure always represents the area of the menu the user is in, allowing them to quickly select the options and settings they need without having to trawl through menu pages and options.
With no need for a telemetry keyboard, users are able to utilise Pan & Tilt control of a Dedicated Micros Oracle Dome simply by clicking an area of the monitor. The camera will instantly respond, positioning the selected area in the middle of the screen, ideal for tracking movement through a scene.
