Connecting to the Video Gateway
When the system is up and running, you can connect to it in order to access video and other data in a number of
ways:
Client applications: For full client features, such as video streaming, event monitoring, and PTZ camera
control, you must use one of the SerVision client applications. Applications that run on PCs and on certain
cellular telephone and PDA models are available. For additional information, see About Client Software,
page 6, and refer to the SerVision website (www.servision.net).
Configuration utility: The configuration utility can connect to the Video Gateway as a client in order to
display live images from cameras, retrieve event information from the system, and download recorded video
to a designated FTP server.
Once the system is installed and configured, you should test it by connecting to it from a PC that is on its local
network using the MultiClient client application, as explained in the next section. If this is successful, you can try
other methods of connecting: connecting from a remote network using any of the SerVision client applications
(please refer to the relevant manual for additional information), or connecting via the configuration utility (see
page 134).
Connecting Through the MultiClient
This section explains how to connect to the Video Gateway using the MultiClient from a PC that is either on the
same LAN as the Video Gateway or connected to the unit by an Ethernet cross cable. It is recommended that you do
this as soon as you have finished installing and configuring the system. If this is successful, you can then install the
MultiClient on a remote computer and connect to the Video Gateway via the internet. For complete information
about connecting to the MultiClient, locally or remotely, and using the MultiClient to view video, monitor events,
and control devices, see the MultiClient User Guide.
NOTE: If the MultiClient is not installed on the PC, see Installing the MultiClient, page 7.
To connect to the Video Gateway:
1. Open the MultiClient.
2. In the MultiClient, at the bottom of the Connection Panel, click the Search button.

The Find Gateway dialog box opens, and displays a list of all the SerVision systems connected to the
network.
Note: If a Microsoft Windows Security Alert dialog box is displayed, click Unblock.
