For Remote Control, authorized personnel will be supplied a Windows program called VmView, that easily installs on all versions of Windows. VmView was expressly written to manage multiple camera systems running the VM95 software. Username and password protection is easily setup so that access to the cameras can be controlled. The interface is easy to understand in just a few minutes, one can connect to a camera station and watch live video. VmView starts up in ‘View’ mode, which does not interrupt the Web Cam operation. If the authorized user needs to, he/she can enter ‘Full Control Mode’ and perform the required monitoring. As mentioned above, during the Full Control Mode, Web Cam mode is halted temporarily, but resumes as soon as the remote user logs off or goes inactive. One can easily ‘View’ many different camera stations at the same time, each camera having its own window. With a single mouse click, a remote user can open up multiple camera stations, watching all of them at the same time, and not break any of them out of their Web Cam Mode.

A useful feature built into VmView, and not available in browser based camera control programs, is the automatic record capability. All images that a remote user receives are (if enabled) automatically saved on his/her computer in standard JPEG format. These recorded images can be played back, studied and printed at a later time when needed.

24/7 Security Monitoring

VM95 can be programmed to record the video images continuously, 24 hours a day, at rates up to 2 images per second. These video images are recorded completely independently of VM95 and even when a remote user takes full control, the system continues recording, providing an accurate documentation of all activity carried out by the camera station. Accessing the video images is done though the VmView program. The intuitive interface allows one to quickly jump to anytime in the past 5 days and start watching the video. Different playback rates are available to make the search more efficient

User Interface for Authorized Remote Control

VmView is the name of the Windows application that allows remote users on the Internet to connect to the camera station and do one of three things:

1.) Passively watch the camera station
2.) Take Full Control of the camera station
3.) Look through the video archives of the camera station
