REMOTE SOFTWARE OVERVIEW
The recorder was specifically designed to be fully operated and maintained remotely. It connects using
the standard TCP/IP protocol thorough connection types such as DSL, Cable Mode, T1, ISDN, LAN,
and more. The OpenEye Remote software allows you to view live video, search through archived video,
export images and video clips and have virtually full Setup control. OpenEye Remote Software is
Microsoft® Windows XP®, Windows Vista®, and Windows 7® compatible.

Basics:
The recorder can have up to 5 simultaneous remote connections. Each user can perform functions on
the recorder and will not affect the other users. The only exceptions to this are accessing Setup and
controlling a PTZ camera. Only one user is allowed to access setup or control a PTZ camera at any
given time. The pictures per second passed to the Remote Client vary greatly depending on the
connection type and speed.
In order to log in to the recorder server, a user account must be made for the user. This ensures that
only authorized personnel are allowed to log in. In addition, each user can be assigned different
privileges that allow them or deny them access to different functions. For example: a user can be
denied Searching and Setup privileges and only granted access to view cameras 4, 8 and 16.
It is highly recommended that users not be granted Setup privileges since this can pose
a security risk. Only properly authorized Administrators should have access to Setup.
The Remote software operates virtually the same way as the recorder itself. The appearance of it
matches the recorder almost identically; however, there are a few minor differences. Some search
features are not available (such as the Index and Object Searches) as well as some Setup options.
