VMX300 provides control and monitoring of CCTV equipment in a client-to-server configuration. VMX300-E provides control and monitoring of
CCTV equipment in the following configurations: client-to-server; multiple clients-to-server; client-to-multiple servers; or server-to-server.
Each VMX300(-E) system must have at least one workstation with server software. Workstations with server software always include client
software and, therefore, are called client/server workstations. A VMX300 system can have only one client/server workstation. A VMX300-E
system can have multiple client/server workstations.
Each VMX300(-E) system must have at least one workstation with client software. This can be the client/server workstation, described above, or
you can add a separate workstation with only client software to the system. Each VMX300(-E) system can have multiple client workstations in
addition to the client/server workstation.
Your system administrator configures your system using the VMX300(-E) server software, and then launches the VMX300(-E) server into “run”
mode. A system operator uses the VMX300(-E) client software to view and control the area under surveillance. The operator can connect to the
VMX300(-E) system from the client/server workstation, or from a separate client workstation. With the VMX300-E version, an operator could also
connect from another client/server workstation.
