Camera viewing on the go! You have already made a great choice by choosing the quality and reliability of our equipment. Now you can expand the usability of your equipment even further by choosing our Mobile Phone and PDA viewing for your DVRs. This simple software solution will enable you to view your cameras from a smart phone or PDA from anywhere in the world and even control your PT or PTZ cameras!

DEMO MODE

While we are confident that this software will work with most Smart phones and PDAs on the market today, we cannot guarantee that this software will function with EVERY cell phone or PDA. We encourage you to install this software and fully configure it to determine if it will work adequately for you. When the software is installed but no license has been purchased, the software is functioning in DEMO mode. While in DEMO mode, there is a 30 second limitation for viewing cameras. After 30 seconds, you will need to restart the Mobile Server software by right-clicking the icon in the Windows system tray and selecting “Restart” to get another 30 seconds of viewing. Although DEMO mode is very restrictive, it should give you adequate functionality to determine if this software will work with your mobile device or PDA.

Again, thank you for choosing Mobile Viewer. We hope you have a great mobile viewing experience.
