Good morning everyone. Mike from CCTV Camera Pros here.
Today I'm going to give you an overview of the remote web browser access for Viewtron Security
Camera Systems. I'm going to be using the Chrome web browser on my MacBook and the access works
the same for our Viewtron BNC security camera DVRs, as well as the network IP camera NVRs.
Here's the Chrome web browser on my Mac laptop, and I entered in the IP address
of the NVR. And then I'm going to enter in the user ID and password and click log in.
Initially when you log in you're brought to the single camera live view,
and our camera number one happens to be of our front door. If you want to switch from camera
to camera you could just click on the camera list over here on the left. This camera happens to be a
PTZ camera so I'm going to use the pan tilt zoom controls over here to zoom in down the street.
And I measured that, actually when I zoom all the way in here this right turn
sign over here, that sign is 560 feet away from where this PTZ camera is mounted,
so just a side note, 25x zoom auto tracking PTZ is pretty awesome.
So I'm going to zoom back out and pan over a little bit before I move on to the other cameras.
This is one of our AI bullet cameras and this side pane over here where we're doing the pan tilt zoom
controls is now set to target detection. That will show when a human was detected in the intrusion
zone that we have set up out front there. And when you pull up these events from that target
detection zone you could easily jump to the video playback of that event, as you could see here.
And when I'm done I'll just go back to the live display and go through the rest of the cameras.
And you can also view these in full screen mode. So I'm going to go back
to the pan tilt zoom camera and switch to full screen so you can get rid of all of the
menus and everything, and just have the video go full screen by clicking on that icon down there.
Next, I'm going to show you the four camera view. So if you want to switch out one of these
cameras because the Chrome web browser view is limited to four cameras as is Firefox and Safari,
so if you want to switch one of the cameras, click on the camera view that you want to switch out,
then click on the name of the camera that you want in that position from the menu on the left.
Click on this icon and switch to the full screen video view.
You could double click on any of these cameras while in the four screen view to switch to the
single camera mode and then double click again to go back out to the four camera grid view.
And to get out of the full screen I just pressed the escape key.
And then next I'll show you here is where you could do video playback,
this is one of the ways you could do video playback. You select the cameras
that you want to search using this timeline scrubber. When you click that search button
there's the timeline right there and you can select any time on it and the video
playback will jump to that time and start the playback. And just like the live view you could
double click on any of the cameras in the four camera view to which to the single camera view.
So next I'm going to show you another way to play back a recorded video. This is
using the intelligent analytics, which is just for the AI camera, so just for
our IP based artificial intelligence cameras. Here I'm just going to search
for any camera that had an intrusion alert today from basically the human detection
entering in a zone that we have labeled as an intrusion zone. And you can click on any of those
thumbnails and then click the playback button if you want to jump to the recording of that event.
And when you're done you can just close that out and then exit.
So one more thing while we're in here. One of the cameras we have in the back is a license plate
recognition camera, so I'm going to search for all of the license plate recognition
events that occurred today, just on that LPR camera specifically, none of the other cameras
can do LPR. So here's all the plates that were detected today. And again, I can click on these
three dots to pull up that event. You could see the license plate was properly detected,
and then you can click the playback button to see the actual video as being done here.
And when I'm done I can close that and exit out.
And then last here's all the settings. This functional panel is all of the
DVR's configuration settings. And one of the nice things about the web browser access is
all of the settings on the DVR are available, so if you need to change some type of configuration
remotely, or if you're an installer and you help clients manage their systems,
this is really handy to remotely manage your customers DVRs for them if they
need help with setup. We do it with our tech support on behalf of customers all the time.
And then when I'm done here I'll just switch back to the live display mode.
I hope this overview has been helpful. Again, that was the remote web browser access
for Viewtron video surveillance systems. And specifically I was accessing a Viewtron IP camera
NVR that we have installed here at the office. Now that was through the Chrome web browser,
but I want to mention that it works the same in Firefox and Safari. It's slightly different
in Internet Explorer, you can have more than four cameras on a screen in Internet Explorer.
