CMS Question

[peskypete 0]

Is this program the only way to access the DVR settings from another computer on a network?

I would like to change things like ptz presets, motion detection settings etc. from a different computer on my network.

I tried running the 'CentreV2' (CMS) program, but couldn't get it to work.

Reading the manual suggests I would need a dongle anyway?

Can someone confirm this?

Thanks

Pete

 

Wow - talking to myself a lot!

I got CentreV2 finally running - needed to enable it from the host duh!

Trying to see if I can change the settings, now that I can access the video

 

 

Nah. Can't access the controls for resetting PTZ presets or motion detection.

Anyone know if it's possible to adjust these 'offsite' please?

Control center comes with a remote dvr that mimics the main dvr user interface almost exactly.

 

Or you could remote desktop in and control the settings that way if you want.

Thanks for the reply.

 

How do I go about setting that up?

I have "Control Center" running on the host (I guess it installs that and puts it in startup when the main system is installed).

 

Do I need to install "Control Center" on the Client?

Or is the control done through "CentreV2"

 

I would like to 'mimic' the host view, so I'm assuming that this is better than using 'Remote Desktop'.

Thanks!

Oh - I just read the CMS maual and it says I need to install the Control Center from the CMS CD. Well, I have one DVD disk that doesn't have that on it.

My choices are:

GeoVision Main System, RemoteView, IP Multicast, CentreV2, Backup & Restore, LocalIDDNS, Authentication Server, Dybanic DNS, Remote Playback Client, & PDA Viewer.

But no Conrol Centre.

Am I missing a disk??

Control center is a seperate purchase from geovision, it comes with a dongle that needs to be plugged into the pc or laptop you are running the control center software on.

It has a few parts to it, you get a 'remote dvr' which I have already mentioned, a remote viewlog (again its the same really as the one on the main dvr) and a geovision optimised remote desktop, plus a camera viewer/matrix for viewing multiple cams, or single cams.

 

I use the matrix and remote viewlog/remote dvr quite a lot as I connect using a laptop to the main dvr.

Well, after a lot of research (yes, I found out just before your reply that CC is a seperate add-on package), I realized that I don't have 'Remote Desktop' avail for WinXP for Home. It's only avail. on the Professional copy.

So I ended up using UltraVNC which works great.

Thanks.
