Installing the MultiClient 33
Installing the MultiClient
The MultiClient application is a PC-based client application that works in conjunction with
the MVG 400. It enables you to access your system through the LAN or remotely, so that you
can monitor events in real-time, view and download recorded video streams, and control the
cameras and other devices connected to the system.
Before you can use the MultiClient for these purposes, you must configure the MVG 400 so
that it can interact with the devices connected to it and can be accessed remotely by a client.
Configuration is performed using a browser-based configuration utility, as described below
(see Configuring the MVG 400, page 36).
The simplest way to open the configuration utility is through a MultiClient running on a PC
that is on the same LAN as the MVG 400 (see Before You Begin, page 36). Thus, before you
begin configuring the MVG 400, you should install the MultiClient on the computer that you
will use for the configuration tasks.
After the unit is configured, you can check the installation and configuration using the
MultiClient you installed on the PC (see Connecting to the MVG 400, page 146). If this is
successful, you can then install the MultiClient on a remote computer and connect to the
MVG 400 via the internet.
NOTE: This chapter explains how to get started using the MultiClient, with the
MultiClient running on a PC that is on the same LAN as the MVG 400, so that
you can configure the system and make sure it is working properly. For complete
information about connecting to the MultiClient, locally or remotely, and using the
MultiClient to view video, monitor events, and control devices, see the MultiClient
User Guide.

To install the MultiClient application on the PC:
1. Download the latest version of the MultiClient installation program from the SerVision
website (http://www.servision.net
). The installation file is called Setup-
MultiClient-SV-x.x.x.x.exe
(The software version number appears in place of
“
x.x.x.x”.)
2. Double-click the installation file. The setup program starts.
Note: If a Microsoft Windows
Security Warning dialog box is displayed, click Run.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions. The installation program consists of two installation
wizards, one for the MultiClient itself and the other for the GPS map system
(MapWinGIS). When the MultiClient installation program finishes, the MapWinGIS
installation program opens automatically.
Note: If your system does not include mobile gateways with GPS capabilities, you do
not have to install the GPS map system package.
When the installation is completed, a MultiClient application icon is placed on your desktop.
