System configuration and operation is carried out via a series of web pages using a browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer. HTML editing software can be used to customise these pages if required.

Alarms can be generated by either physically wired inputs or VMD alarm events from any camera. These recorded events can then be protected on disk to prevent accidental erasure.

NetVu ObserVer is a Windows based software package which allows the user to view live or recorded images from any NetVu Connected unit on the network. Control of telemetry cameras is also available along with quick access to the alarm database. This powerful database offers the user a step by step video history of recorded alarm events and, if required, incidents can be selected and downloaded for storage on a PC or any LAN/WAN destination. Full central monitoring functions are also included. NetVu ObserVer is shipped with every NetVu Connected video server.
