Mobile Remote Monitoring Using QS View for iOS and Android Setup and Users Guide for Mobile Remote Monitoring QS Series Security DVRs on the iPhone and iPad as well as Android devices.
ENABLING MOBILE SURVEILLANCE USING QS VIEW You can access your DVR from your Apple or Android smartphone or tablet. Search for Q-See in the iTunes Store or Android market to download this free mobile app. The same application will operate on both phone or tablet. Be certain to select the QS Series version to ensure compatibility with your system. QS View software operates identically on both Android and Apple iOS phones and tablets. The instructions below cover both platforms.
You will need to add your DVR to the Device List in order to connect. Tap on the Device icon to open the Device List. Once you’ve added your DVR to the list, you can tap on it to connect to it. PICTURE 3 To add a DVR to your list, tap the + (iOS) or Add (Android) button in the upper right corner. While in Live View, you may switch between Devices by tapping the Select button in the upper right corner. This will cause a list of your available DVRs to pop up allowing you to choose which system to access.
LIVE VIEW In portrait mode a series of controls will appear under the video. QS View will open in nine-channel multi-display mode by default. Any “extra” channels beyond what your DVR actually has will show up black while any channels that your DVR has but without a camera connected will display “Video Loss”. Spreading your fingers on the screen will change the display mode to four- and then singlechannel display mode. A pinching action will increase the number of channels being displayed.
Recording Video Device You are able to record live video locally to your device by tapping on the Record button. These videos can be accessed and played back using the Playback function described later. Tapping the Record button a second time ends the recording. You can switch between DVRs using either the Select button at the top of the screen or the Device button at the bottom left. This latter button will display the number of available systems next to its icon.
PLAYBACK Along with viewing live feeds from your system, the playback feature is the other major function of QS View. This function only operates in portrait mode. Only a single video may be played back at a time. Selecting Playback brings up a window showing your options. You can play back video recorded on the DVR (remote) or local video which was recorded onto your device by tapping on the Record button in Live View.
SETTINGS The Settings menu allows you to make certain changes to your DVR remotely. The options listed in this menu mirror those on the DVR itself but aren’t nearly as complete. You cannot access all of the funtions and options available on the DVR, including PTZ configuration, but you are able to change the recording schedule, set up alarm responses and so on.
