and you want to flag that section of video for easy retrieval at a later date.

5.14 CENTRAL USER MANAGEMENT (OPTIONAL) 
  The Fusion DVRs are capable of utilizing a Central User Management system. This 
option allows, from one location, the creation, deletion and management of  user 
accounts on multiple DVRs. This makes managing a large amount of DVRs easy and 
organized.  
The Central User Management program is run on a computer or DVR that is to be 
used as the ‘hub’. This computer (or DVR) acts as a broadcaster to send out updated 
information. The diagram below provides an overview of how the Central User 
Management functions.  
  User Accounts can be modified from any DVR as well as the Management Station. Any 
changes made on a DVR will be sent to the Management Station which in turn will 
broadcast the changes to all DVRs.
