Samsung has introduced an upgraded version of its license free NET-i Viewer centralised management software.
NET-i Viewer enables the centralised monitoring, control and administration of Samsung DVRs and iPOLiS network devices, even when the client has multiple sites and is using a mix of analogue and IP equipment.
The latest version of NET-i Viewer, v1.26, has a graphical user interface. It incorporates eMapping and offers multi-monitor support, letting operators choose simultaneously to display 16 channels on a single screen or 32 channels spread over up to four screens.
NET-i Viewer’s event monitoring function notifies operators if there is an alarm event or video loss by generating a yellow signal, whilst bi-directional audio support allows communication between the monitored site and the control room.
Calendar and event search functions are among the options available to retrieve and view recorded video.
The software can display live or recorded video which has been compressed in H.264, MPEG-4, or MJPEG formats and it supports various video resolution including megapixel (1M, 2M, 3M), 4CIF, Half D1, VGA and CIF. A back-up function allows recorded video to be transferred to CD or DVD, or to external storage devices such as USB or NAS.
NET-i Viewer is supplied free with all the manufacturer’s network devices and DVRs. Existing devices will automatically self-upgrade to v1.26 when connected to the company’s upgrade server.
