Viewing CCTV Cameras from Multiple DVRs and Locations

The iDVR-E and iDVR-RT16 series surveillance DVRs support the ability to centrally view CCTV cameras connected to separate DVRs using the EMS (enterprise management software) that is included. This software is extremely useful for business owners that need an enterprise surveillance system consisting of multiple locations. Users can also combine viewing security cameras at their home(s) with cameras at one or more business. Please note that the EMS software is designed for Windows based PCs. The iDVR has a Mac software client, but it is limited to connect to one DVR at a time.

Multiple DVR Surveillance System Network Diagram

The below diagram illustrates a network diagram of three iDVR-E16 CCTV DVRs on the same network being monitored by a laptop computer that is also on the same network as the DVRs using the EMS software. Although this diagram shows the DVRs and computer on the same network, the EMS software also works when some or all of the DVRs are on different networks / locations, and the PC is also at a remote location.
