Navigate the CamViewer Application Interface
The entire program is split into three main tabs: Main View, Remote Setting, and System Config.
Main View
On the Main View screen, you can view the live feed from your cameras. From here you can adjust the layout of your channels, switch pages, digitally zoom in on your footage, take a manual snapshot or recording, switch between your mainstream and substream, and more.
Remote Setting
All of your recorder's system menus and preferences are located within the Remote Setting tab. This screen is split into six tabs: Channel, Record, Alarm, Network, Device, and System. To get an idea of what functions you can perform within each of the six tabs, reference the image below.
System Config
Within the System Configuration menu, you can set up how your computer works with the CamViewer program. Edit the file settings, file paths for your saved pictures and videos, and edit the sounds your computer makes during certain events.
