SECTION 1: SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Local and Hosted-Enterprise Management
The DIGIOP ELEMENTS™ server can be managed either locally or managed by DIGIOP™. With a locally managed NVR or hDVR server,
the conguration settings are retained on the server. In a hosted enterprise environment, DIGIOP™ manages the servers and save
the server conguration settings at DIGIOP™. For hosted enterprise management, the NVR and hDVR servers must be accessible
through the Internet.
The selection of using either local or hosted enterprise management is made through the Enterprise Conguration Application in the
Windows Start menu.
1.1 DIGIOP™ Control and NVRs and hDVR
This document includes a user interface description of the DIGIOP™ Control admin portal. Locally, DIGIOP™ Control operates in one
of two modes: Kiosk mode for hDVRs, or Service mode for NVRs:
• Kiosk modes - Kiosk mode provides a local user interface and administration of the cameras and settings on the hDVR. It is
used to schedule recording modes, control PTZ cameras, create associations between sensors (alarm inputs) and control relays
(alarm outputs) with cameras, and see and hear video and audio. Kiosk mode allows remote access to the hDVR with DIGIOP™
Control for management of IP cameras. DIGIOP™ Connect provides a remote view of live and recorded video and data streams.
• Service mode - In Service Mode, the video and data software runs as a service on the server. DIGIOP Control is used to
manage IP cameras, user accounts and data streams, and create groups and tours for monitoring surveillance cameras and data.
DIGIOP™ Control can be used concurrently with DIGIOP™ Connect, which provides a remote view of live and recorded video and
data streams.
