LIVE VIEW
Want to watch what’s happening right now? Live view lets you watch all of your cameras at the same time. So you can watch your front door, driveway, kitchen, backyard, entertainment room, and home office all at once, and all in HD resolution.

PLAYBACK VIEW
Need to see what happened in the past? Playback view lets you access and play previously recorded video clips. Pick any day from a calendar to view a timeline of recordings for that day. 

The playback controls let you play, pause, step forward and back, and adjust playback speed between super slow and very fast.

MULTIPLE CAMERA DISPLAY VIEWS
Both live and playback screens can display your choice of viewing modes—single camera view, four-camera view, and all cameras view.

MOTION ZONES
For more precise motion detection, and to reduce false alarms, you can specify up to 16 motion-detection zones within the frame—such as doors and windows.

ALERTS -- STAY AWARE ON THE GO
You can set up motion alerts to send text or images to your e-mail or mobile phone. You can even send alerts to more than one recipient.

DIGITAL PAN-TILT-ZOOM
You can focus in on certain areas within the viewing windows to see more detail or position the camera angle to where you need it.

AUTOMATIC Mac BACKUP
Worried about running out of space on your cameras? Don’t be. With Commander software installed, all the video on your cameras is backed up to your Mac when it is connected to your network. You can then review, archive, share or delete clips as needed. And since your cameras record only motion-triggered events by default, you can store months of audio and video.

POP-OUT WINDOWS
Pop-out one or more of your live camera windows to keep a watchful eye while being productive. The camera window(s) can remain on your desktop or a second screen, while the main application is minimized so you can focus on other things.

DESKTOP NOTIFICATIONS
Desktop notifications let you know whenever important events occur—like if motion in detected by one of your cameras—by displaying a pop-up message on you PC’s desktop. Messages include important information about the event as well as an image and an audible alert.
