By utilizing Watcher and Remoteview, there are two ways to achieve that:: Suppose you have four PCs (A,B,C,D) at your four store locations, install Watcher on all four PCs, each attached with a webcam or an analog camera with a capture card. You have a single PC (X) used to remotely monitor all four locations. Suppose all 5 PCs are connected in LAN. 1. Turn all Watchers in broadcasting mode, (broadcast to local webserver). And then on your PC X, open 4 internet browsers, browse to PC A, B, C, D’s IP addresses using the 5 browsers, and you will be able to see all four locations. 2. Turn all Watchers in Listening mode. Now, in PC X, install RemoteView four times, run all four RemoteViews, with each connecting to one Watcher, and you will be able to see 4 real time streaming from 4 locations. Best of all, monitoring mode can be operated simulatneously with either broadcasting or listening. So while you are remote watching, Watchers are logging down video clips when there are motions.
