| Free
PC software for playing back your footage.
With digital
DVR's it is very easy to connect to a local area network,
or the Internet, so that PCs on the network can access live
and recorded images directly from the DVR itself.
When you subscribe
to one of our systems we will give you access to our FREE
PC software downloads to enable you to do this.
There are
three methods of viewing playback images from the DVR365.
Two are software we will give you access to with the unit
and the other is by using the internet.
They are:

Self Installed
Client Software.

This free software package
supplied with the unit, should be installed on every PC that you
wish to use with the DVR365. Once installed, simply ensure the “IP”
address of the DVR is correctly set up in the software. The software
is then configured with a user name and password so that only authorised
users can access the DVR and control it according to their status
- “admin”, “user” or “guest”.
This software client has numerous
features for playing back recorded files, downloading files, setting
up the DVR remotely and more..
By using this software on
a PC, you can “hide” the DVR365 anywhere in the building
and only physically access the unit when absolutely necessary. All
other features can be carried out from a networked PC.
You can of course have several DVR365
units on a network and connect to any of them from any networked
PC. This means, for example, that you could use one DVR for internal
cameras and another for externals cameras. This has the major advantage
that you can enjoy the DVR365’s unrivalled internal storage
of 8 Hard Drives for 8 cameras, ie, one hard drive per camera.

Stand-alone PC playback
software.
This special software has
been developed so that a video file/clip can be taken from the DVR
and put onto a CD or similar so it can then be played back on a
stand-alone PC elsewhere.
The video files produced by the DVR
are a modified mpeg compression and are specially encrypted so normal
mpeg software cannot read or access them. To play the video on a
standalone PC, you must have this software. This is the software
that would be used to playback video footage in a court or similar
environment. Alternatively you may use this software to view your
footage at home.

The DVR365 has an excellent feature where you can connect
to it using Internet Explorer. You simply enter the IP address
of the DVR365 and the two will start to communicate with each
other.
Internet Explorer then automatically
downloads some program files from the DVR and your PC is
set up to monitor live or recorded images directly from
the unit. This method of connection is very simple and has
other similar features to the self-installed client software.
