SwannView Link Software
Your NVR comes with powerful remote access and interface
software, called SwannView Link. You can setup and configure
almost all aspects of the NVR from the SwannView Link
interface.
The SwannView Link software will allow you to:
• view images from your NVR in real-time,
• playback recorded footage,
• copy footage to your local PC and
• adjust settings and configure the NVR.
In fact, the SwannView Link software is so powerful, you don’t
even need to connect a monitor to the NVR if there’s a computer
on the local network that you’re running SwannView Link on.
For quick and easy configuration of the NVR’s settings,
recording quality and schedule, we suggest using the remote
interface in SwannView Link.
How to install SwannView Link:
• Insert the included CD into your computer.
• Locate the file called SwannView Link and run this file.
• You may be asked by UAC (User Account Control) to allow
SwannView Link to “make changes” to your system. Select
Allow or Continue.
• You’ll see an installation wizard. Simply follow the prompts
to install the software.
• Once the SwannView Link software is installed, it should
automatically detect your NVR on your network.
