HOME PAGE

All of Smart PSS’ functions are accessed through its main window which is referred to as the

Home Page. The functions are divided into three areas; Basic, Extension and Setting.

The ﬁrst area, Basic, is where you’ll ﬁnd the live viewing, search and playback, and alarm

events functions which are the most commonly used. Extensions contains features and

operations not found on your system and Setting allows you to make changes to your DVR or

NVR as if you were at the machine. Clicking any one of the icons will open up a new window

within Smart PSS. You will be able to move between windows by clicking on its icon at the

top of the window. Hovering the mouse over the icon will reveal an X which can be clicked

upon to close that window. Only the Home Page window cannot be exited in that manner.

PREVIEW

Viewing live video from your connected devices takes place in the Preview window.
