DVR Users Setup & Permissions | Viewtron CCTV / HD-SDI DVRs

Viewtron CCTV Surveillance DVR

Viewtron surveillance DVRs allow the owner to setup multiple user groups each with specific permissions and settings. This heightens the level of security because it puts a limit on what each individual user can access when they are logged into the DVR. For example, you would be able to give the administrators access to everything while only allowing other users to access things like PTZ control and video playback.
