1 Overview

The remote software gives you full control of multiple Bosch Security Systems DVR4C digital video recorders via a PC. Remote live viewing, search, playback and system configuration are available. The software consists of three programs: Live Viewer, Playback Viewer, and Configuration Tool. By installing the DVR4C remote software on a Windows PC you can monitor real-time and recorded images via a LAN, a WAN, a telephone line (with limited functionality*) or the Internet. To manage multiple DVR4Cs easily, the DVR4C remote software supports camera lists and group modes. An Archive Player is also provided so that archived video recordings can be viewed without requiring the remote software to be installed.
