5 Using the Configuration
Tool
The Configuration Tool is a software application that
makes the installation and configuration of a unit faster
and easier. The Configuration Tool runs on a PC that is
connected to the DVR via an Ethernet network
connection. Although all settings can also be configured
with the on-screen display menu of the DVR itself, the
Configuration Tool offers a very user-friendly
alternative. Refer to the Remote Viewer user manual for
more information on the PC software.
