RVS4000 Overview RSV4000 Remote Video Server is a set-top device used to transmit real-time digital video data through the Internet.

Using Microsoft® Internet Explorer or Netscape web browsers, video can be viewed over the Internet by entering the IP address assigned to the RVS4000 unit. Once connected, you may log in to the unit to view video on your local PC.

There are two modes of operation: User mode and Administrator mode.

• User mode allows you to select any of the 4 video channels to view and choose how the video displays on your computer.

• Administrator mode allows for all of the functions provided by user mode, but also permits changing configuration settings for the RVS4000 unit, responding to alarms, and controlling domes across the Internet.

The RVS4000 administrator will determine which mode you should use to access the unit.

Note: You must have the Java applications installed on your computer to use the administrator functions. These are found on the software CD included with the RVS4000 unit.
