Introduction The Pelco Web Viewer provides quick access to video on the Endura® network without installing or running additional client software. From the Pelco Web Viewer, you can access up to 16 live video feeds, search for recorded video from cameras on the Endura network, and export recordings. This operations manual is designed to help users access the Pelco Web Viewer interface and view live video, search for recorded video, and export clips from the system manager.
SHARED RESOURCES Users connected to the Pelco Web Viewer share the system manager’s resources. Graphics at the bottom of each page within the Pelco Web Viewer provide relevant information about the resources available to the user. Operating at the upper limits of the Pelco Web Viewer may affect performance or prevent video viewing.
Logging On to the Pelco Web Viewer NOTES: • You can access the Pelco Web Viewer using Microsoft® Internet Explorer® versions 9 and later, Mozilla® Firefox® versions 8 and later, and Google Chrome™ versions 16 and later. • You may receive a security certificate warning when accessing the system manager from a computer on which you have not previously accessed the system manager. If this is the case, add an exception in your browser to allow unobstructed access to the system manager.
Viewing Live Video Click View Live Video to view video streams from up to 16 cameras simultaneously. NOTES: • Live video viewing is subject to the network bandwidth restrictions set by the administrator and the transcoding limitations of the hardware. Surpassing either limitation will prevent users from displaying the full 16 video streams. • It is recommended that you do not use your Web browser’s refresh button while viewing live video.
CLOSING VIDEO FEEDS Each open video feed consumes one of the System Manager’s 16 available streams. When you have finished viewing a stream, close it to make additional streams available for all users. Place the mouse cursor over a video pane and click the close icon to stop viewing a video stream. VIEWING SETTINGS Clicking Viewing Settings reveals additional settings for determining the behavior of live video viewing panes. • Camera Names: Select whether or not camera names appear in view panes.
