recorders and the cameras compatible with this software.
By using this software on a personal computer (hereinafter PC) via a network, it is possible to display live images of
the cameras connected to the recorder, to play images stored on the recorder, and to download image files to the
hard disk drive of the PC. It is also possible to operate this software using an optional system controller when it is
connected to the PC.
Software configuration
This software consists of the following 3 applications:
Setup software: The settings required to run the operation software can be configured and managed with
this software.
Operation software: Displaying live images, playback, downloading, searching for images stored on the

Service software: Reception of Panasonic alarm protocol and auto deletion of the operation log will be car-
ried out by this software.
This is the resident application (in the system tray). Once the PC is turned on, the service
software runs in the background of the PC.
