Intro
Introducing the Mac security camera software (Mac App) for Viewtron DVRs, NVRs, and network IP cameras. The software is called Viewtron VMS and it allows users to view their security cameras live, playback recorded video surveillance footage, control cameras, configure DVRs / NVRs, and perform many other functions over an IP network. This software is sometimes referred to as NVMS (network video management software) or CMS camera software (central monitoring software). The Macintosh app is able to connect to many DVRs, NVRs, and IP cameras at the same time. The software can display live video streams from
analog CCTV cameras, HD security cameras (AHD, HD-TVI, HD-CVI), and network IP cameras.
Users can access their security cameras on the local network where the DVR is located and also remotely over the Internet from anywhere in the world. Remote audio surveillance is also supported. Watch this video to see how easy it is to
setup the Mac software. You can also watch this video to see the Mac software connect to multiple security camera locations.

I watched on of your videos and saw where Mike clicks and drags the live security camera feeds into a grid layout. Is this done only once, or will I need to drag the cameras I want to see into the view every time?
This is a one time setup. You can save the view / camera layout when you are done with the set up. You can also set up more than one of those live camera view layouts and save them all as tabs in the Viewtron VMS software.
