CCTV Desktop Widget - Hikvision

Easy channel switching

When viewing a DVR with multiple cameras you can set the widget to switch channels automatically and define how long it stays on a channel, you can even set which channels to include. If you don’t need the widget to cycle through the channels you can still manually switch to the next channel at any time by simply double clicking the window.

Talkback to site

The handy talkback feature allows you to talk into a microphone connected to the PC and out of a loud speaker connected to the DVR such as the VoiceOFF. Perfect for unmanned areas to welcome visitors or as a tool for managers, supervisors or security staff.

Remote viewing

As well as being able to view cameras from a DVR on the same network as a PC, you can also view cameras from a DVR remotely over the internet. Great for keeping an eye on another site or your home when you’re at work.

Lock it down

By right clicking the window you can choose to show or hide the frame around the window. With the frame showing you can resize and reposition the window as you need. When you hide the frame this locks the window so you can go about your work without accidentally grabbing the widget.
