Remote Monitoring Using QT View for iPhone & iPad Setup and Users Guide for Mobile Remote Monitoring QT Series Security DVRs on Mobile Devices Using Apple’s iOS Operating System
The QT View software allows you to remotely monitor your QT-series DVR (see list below) using your mobile device and either a wireless or 3G/4G network. In addition to controlling your system, you will be able to alter its settings and review video records saved on its hard drive. CONNECTING TO YOUR DVR In order to monitor your system using your iPhone or iPad, you will need to install either the Q-See QT View app for smartphones or Q-See QT View HD app if you’re using a tablet.
If you will be connecting to your DVR on the same network, say from within the same building, enter the local IP address and this will be referred to as a Local Connection. The second connection will be for times when you are away from that network and will be connecting to a different network or using the 3G/4G function of your device.
Adding a Server A server is added in the same manner as in the Login screen. Simply tap on the white icon to open up the window to enter the information for the new connection including your name for this connection, the IP address (local or Internet) and your user name and password. OPERATION LIVE VIEW When you log in, QT View will open the Live View window which will show a single-channel feed from your DVR. Examples are shown below from QT View HD (left) and QT View (right).
When switching to multi-channel view, a pop-up window will allow you to select which cameras will be displayed. PTZ Tapping on the PTZ icon will open the PTZ Control window allowing you to control a PanTilt-Zoom camera connected to your DVR by touching the directional arrows. Adjust your camera’s focus, zoom and iris (light level) using the “+” and “-” buttons. There are three sliders which also provide camera control. On the iPhone, they appear when the arrow to the right of the PTZ controls is tapped.
SNAPSHOT RECORD Tapping the Snapshot icon will cause the program to take a still image of the currently displayed video feed and save it onto your device. You can take full-size images from any or all of the currently displayed video feeds. These images are not saved to the Photos folder on your device, but are available for viewing by selecting them from the Image menu located at the upper left of the application’s screen (circled, below).
Time Search This search mode differs in that it’ll show a 24-hour timeline for each channel with blocks indicating when a video record took place. To begin playback, simply select a channel and then tap on Play. Remote File Search This last search mode is best used when you have a channel set to constantly record but it also works if you know when an event occurred.
Schedule Settings This area is generally set up when you first configure your DVR, but you may find it necessary to change a recording schedule while you’re away from your DVR. INFORMATION The three windows available under the Information menu allow you to access information about your DVR, your network and which users are currently logged into your system The information displayed in these three windows cannot be altered. System shows your DVR’s name as well as the software and hardware configuration.
