This application provides two windows; one for live viewing and camera control, and one for
playback of recordings and exports.

The Configuration Manager application can be opened via an icon in the Live viewing and
Playback application. The Configuration Manager allows the user to configure the system
setup and to set the configuration settings for supported devices. (A wizard that helps with
the initial configuration of a system can be activated by clicking Configuration Wizard in the
Tools menu of the Configuration Manager.)

Client for first-time use.
