Remote Monitoring Guide

OPERATION
Once you have selected the device you wish to monitor, you are able to perform most
operations on your mobile device that you can on the DVR itself or using either of the
computer-based remote monitoring options. The major exception are that you cannot
reconfigure your DVR using QC View and you can only record still images from your cameras
onto your mobile device, but not videos.
The Main menu gives you access to all of the functions of QC View. Touching the device’s
Return button - whether on screen, or on a keypad - while in one window will return you back
to this menu.
Initially, you will need to turn on each channel’s display individually from the Device List. You
can bring up the device list by tapping on its icon on the righ of the screen, or by double-
tapping in an empty video display. Additionally, you can create a group of cameras using the
Favorites option. Rearrange the layout by dragging a camera view to the desired area of the
screen. Double-tapping on a channel will bring it to single-screen view. Double-tapping again,
will return to the multi-channel display.
The camera feed with the green surround is the “active” channel and any actions performed
using the buttons on the left of the screen will affect that channel.
Real-time Monitor: This window is where you will view the feeds from your cameras.

The playback controls are self-explanatory.

simultaneously. Capture a still image using
the Snapshot icon at the bottom of the
screen.

Alarm Push: This window provides you a check list allowing you to indicate which cameras
will alert you based on motion detection, camera masking, or a local alarm triggered at the
DVR itself. When Alarm Push is activated, you will receive alerts on your mobile device even
when you’re not currently in the program. You can click on an alert and it will take you directly
to video playback of the incident that triggered the alert.
Favorites: You may configure one or more groups of channels that you to view together using
this button. It also allows you to select the desired group.
Local Files: Snapshots captured from the Real-time Monitor or from Playback are stored
here.
Config: PTZ camera configuration. Select a PTZ camera connected to your DVR for control
from your mobile device. The slider sets the rotational speed. You can use the directional
controls, or finger dragging on that camera’s video feed, to point the camera. Zoom in or out
using the controls or with your fingers.
Help: Opens the internal help documentation.
