AirLive CamPro Express
Why We Need CamPro Express
n most cases, users usually look for software to
manage their IP Camera system in the office or
I
building. They can easily find free or trial version
software in the internet. Even they can get
software from package of IP Camera. However,
these softwares from IP Camera makers usually
limit your applications and you have to pay
license fees to get full version of it. Can these
softwares meet your requirements? How are their
performances? Although they are easy to get,
but sometimes shut down or crashed because of
inexplicable reasons, do you still need them for
your system?
CamPro Express is the first package software in AirLive™. After development of nearly half year and
feedbacks from customers, AirLive™ launches CamPro Express to simplify your everyday tasks ofv
IPCam management. Once buying any type of AirLive IP Camera*, you will get a full version of CamPro
Express.
Reliability Is the Most Important
Software reliability is an important factor affecting system reliability. Some people have experienced
that they downloaded freeware or shareware in the internet, but are not satisfied with reliability.
Because those are free or trial version, no ones want to make extra efforts to maintain or debug them.
You must ever faced the similar situation that you wanted to playback the video recording to review
if something happened in your home when on vacation, but cause of software reliability, surveillance
system missed some frames. You will be very disappointed with your decision of buying IP Cameras.
However, the problem is not completely from IP Cameras, could be from that your software function
failed. Many of tragedies and chaos caused by software are endless. Therefore, reliability is the most
important.
We know that electronic and mechanical
parts may become "old" and worn out with
time and usage, but software will not rust or
wear-out during its life cycle. Software will
not change over time unless intentionally
changed or upgraded. AirLive R&D team
makes many efforts to test software
compatibility for better use of users.
According to ANSI91**, Software Reliability
is defined as “probability of failure-free
software operation for a specified period of time in a specified environment”. Based on this criterion, we
use 32 units of AirLive IP Camera and spend more than one week of period for testing. Moreover, there

are many conditions simulated, such as suddenly unplugging some of the IP Cameras or installing
them on different network environments. The test result is satisfying. While the complexity of software
is inversely related to software reliability, AirLive did their best to make balance between them. AirLive
can promise that CamPro Express is the best software solution for user when establishing one reliable
network surveillance system.
Client-Server Architecture
Client-Server structure is a distributed application which is popular in computer networking. The
well-known examples on the
internet are Web browsers and
Web servers, FTP servers and
FTP clients. There are some
advantages in Client-Server
architecture. In most case,
all data and calculating tasks

are stored and completing in
servers. Servers play a role of
centralized management and
control. It can help administrator
to better control access and
Monitor program
resources, to guarantee that
clients with permission can
access data. Besides, this type
of architecture can reduce
waste of resource. Clients do
not need advanced equipments;

administrators only take more
concern on maintenance of
server. Moreover, Internet makes Client-Server Architecture more and more popular. Regardless of time
or environment limitation, clients just use web browser to access the services via internet.

Friendly Graphical User Interface
CamPro Express is powerful, but is still ease of use. With
AirLive-specific rich graphical user interface, users can easily
configure to maintain your network surveillance system. Main
advantage of GUI is that users do not need learning how to
type commands on the keyboard. Well-designed graphic icons
can make easier for users to work with and use software.
After one-time learning, user will be quickly familiar with
configuration of software. CamPro Express is based on this
technology. Users do not have to follow manual, just install
the utility included in package of CD and then use. Users will
experience friendly and valuable software.

Moreover, CamPro Express also provides users with some useful functions. For example, E-Map is
very practical for purpose of construction of surveillance system on the floor even globally. Users upload
required map by their own will and ask system to auto search IP cameras in your network. Then, just
drag the icon of IP camera on the focused spot of map. The CamPro Express will save your setting. If
you wan to know where the single IP camera is, just click the icon in the left tree menu, the map will
show the location. Depending on the situation, administrators can make any software configuration on IP
cameras remotely. Thus they can maintain their surveillance system without obstacles.
