Using IP Surveillance Software
Launcher
Launcher is a controller program that allows users to invoke Monitor or Playback quickly.
System Tray Icon
The Launcher icon reflects current state of IP surveillance. The
icon in the system
tray signifies that the IP surveillance Software is currently active on the system.
Security for Launcher
When Launcher starts, there is no need to undergo a username/password check. But
when users want to click on the icon of Launcher on system tray, Launcher will pop up
a username/password dialog the first time for menu popup or when Launcher is locked.
If a user fails to pass the authentication check, no menu will show up. If a user fails 3
consecutive tries he/she will be locked out for a period of 60 seconds.
After passing authentication, users will be able to use all
functions. If users want to
leave the computer, it is possible to lock the Launcher for security reason. When Launcher
is locked, the user will need to pass authentication again to see the popup menu.
Below is the login window:
