With the exponential growth of wireless and mobile capability, the potential for instant and direct access to your security network
via a mobile device has become reality. Welcome to 3xLOGIC's View Lite Smart Device application, a new solution to your mobile
video surveillance and management needs.
With 3xLOGIC's View Lite you can use your Apple iOS or Android OS device to view live streams of all cameras connected to your
3xLOGIC VIGIL Server(s). View Lite is designed to connect and view both IP and analog cameras from a configured VIGIL Server. With
a simple drag-and-drop interface, saved views and several different layout options, you can easily view up to 48 live cameras on
your mobile device.
To compliment this core functionality, features such as VIGIL Connect, still image exports, full PTZ control (on applicable cameras),
relays(DIOs), POS Search and full playback capability give View Lite a powerful feature set that far exceeds standard mobile video
management offerings.
The following section will outline the installation and basic usage of 3xLOGIC View Lite on your Apple iPhone or iPad device. 3xLOGIC View Lite is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4(4s), iPhone 5 (5s, 5c), iPod touch (3rd, 4th, 5th generation) and iPad(1,2,3,
Air, Mini.) Requires iOS 5.0 or later.
Note:The screenshots throughout this manual were taken with an iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 running iOS 7. Please note the iPad/
iPad mini and iPhone application are the same application, with only larger or smallers viewing areas depending on the device
