NetVision Stations are assigned to groups. Stations with trouble conditions such as malfunctioning
cameras will indicate on the SiteWatch client PC. For example, a guard observing the condition can
notify a technical representative to attend and correct the fault.
• SiteWatch is comprised of 3 programs running at the same time on 3 different PCs using their IP
addresses over the Internet, a Network or Dial-up connection.
• SiteWatch NetVision: A service application running on the capture station that provides its status.
• SiteWatch Server: A service application running on a server that all capture stations communicate
their status to. This server stores this information and all sites configuration in a database.
• SiteWatch Client: This is the client PC that retrieves all the status information from the server and
displays it. It can also be installed on the server PC.

There can be a maximum combination of 2000 NetVision Capture Stations or SiteWatch Clients. 200
can be in active open sessions with the SiteWatch server at one time.
