1.2 Applications This section describes the software components in the Smart-Vue
monitoring system.
1.2.1 Smart-Vue Client The Smart-Vue Client application was developed as a standalone
executable program. This executable can be used on all Microsoft
Windows® 32-bit operating system versions, Windows XP SP2 or higher,
Vista or 7 Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise, Windows Server 2003 and
2008. Smart-Vue Client can be installed to your computer using the
Smart-Vue installation CD-ROM. The application may also be:
• Run directly from a USB key
• Sent by e-mail to another user, who may copy and run software from
desired location on his or her hard drive (note: some antivirus
programs block e-mail containing executables).
• Executed from a server computer without having a local copy on your
PC
• Copied and pasted from a server computer to the desired location on
your own hard drive
As a standalone application, this application does not require the
presence of other installed files, such as DLLs, to operate.
1.2.2 Smart-Vue Control
Center
The Smart-Vue Control Center is an application that lets you interact
with the Smart-Vue Server and Alarm Management System (AMS)
applications on Window Vista
®
, Windows 7
®
, Windows Server 2008
®
.
These operating system version do not allow applications running as
system services to offer a graphical user interface. The Smart-Vue
Control Center solves this problem by:
• Stopping applications running as services (when requested).
• Restarting those applications as graphical Windows applications.
This feature is intended for advanced users only, for the purpose of
troubleshooting specific issues.
