View Your Security Cameras Live with Windows CMS Camera Software.

Introducing the Windows security camera software (Windows App) for Viewtron DVRs, NVRs, and network IP cameras. This software is sometimes referred to as NVMS (network video management software) or CMS camera software (central monitoring software). The software is called Viewtron VMS (video management system) 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. The Windows VMS (Video Management Software) 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.

Viewtron also includes an iPhone app, Android app, and MAC DVR viewer software. All of the apps and software are included for free with all Viewtron IP cameras and DVRs, and there are no monthly monitoring fees. You can watch video demos here.
