If you are installing the DX4500/DX4600 in a network environment, you must configure the DVR network settings to use the following:
• Client software application: Allows you to log on to, operate, and administer up to sixteen DX4500/DX4600 server systems
simultaneously from a remote location. the DX4500/DX4600 server supports a total five simultaneous connections when using the client
and Web client applications. For more information about the remote client software application, refer to the DX4500/DX4600 Client
Operation and Programming manual.
• Web client applications: Allows you to view live video and operate pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) features of cameras attached to a DX4500/
DX4600. You can remotely monitor up to 16 cameras from the DX4500/DX4600. The DX4500/DX4600 supports a total five simultaneous
connections when using the client and Web client applications.
• Network Time Protocol (NTP): Allows you to use a public or private time server.
• Software update over the network: Allows you to update the server software over the network.
• Mail notification: Sends e-mail notification if an event occurs. For example, if an alarm or motion is detected, you will receive a
notification that the administrator level password has been changed and so forth.
• Emergency Agent: Installed as part of the Client application, this application works with DX4500/DX4600 servers. If a server unit detects
an event (alarm, motion, disk full, administrator password change, and so forth), an event message is sent to the Emergency Agent. The
message displays for 5 seconds in the lower-right area of the remote client PC screen.
