Audio-visual files can be recalled by a variety of query options, including date and time,
alarm events, camera ID, or DVR ID. Live video and audio playback options are available
from the Alarm Monitor, Real Time List, and Real Time Map.
The DVR system communicates with the P2000 server via a TCP/IP connection. The
communication is provided by the P2000 CCTV Server, a software component that is
selected and installed alongside the P2000 installation. Additionally, the DVR feature can
be configured with a CCTV Switch for added control of the CCTV cameras and monitors.
For more information on CCTV refer to the P2000 Software User Manual.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
Do not install third party vendor's workstation or server software on the P2000 server. In
addition, it is highly recommended that you do not install the third party DVR client software
and the P2000 workstation software on the same machine.

To operate the DVR feature in P2000, both the P2000 server and P2000 workstation require
