REMOTE SOFTWARE 
13.1  FUSION REMOTE SOFTWARE OVERVIEW 
  The DVR unit 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 Modem, T1, ISDN, 56K Modem, LAN, and more. The Fusion Remote 
software provides for viewing live video, searching through archived video, exporting 
images and video clips; and provides virtually full Setup control. 
 
Highlights:
 
 
•  Search archived video 
 
•  View live video 
 
•  Export images and video clips 
 
•  Control relay outputs 
 
• Setup administration 
 
 
 
Basics:
 
 
The DVR can have up to 5 Simultaneous remote Connections. Each user can perform 
functions on the DVR unit and will not affect the other users. The only exception to this 
is accessing Setup. Only one user is allowed to access setup at any given time. The 
Frames per Second passed to the Remote Client varies greatly depending on the 
connection type and speed. 
 
In order to log in to the DVR 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. (See Section 5.9 – User Management.)  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 DVR itself.  
Its appearance matches the DVR 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.
