for use in various security applications. Furthermore, this easy-to-use surveillance software 
provides users with a wide array of features, including Multiple-Channel playback, high 
resolution monitoring, and live view.

The DCS-250 is a comprehensive surveillance system designed to centrally manage up to 
32 network cameras, while displaying real-time status information. Map Mode allows you to 
create maps based on camera location and orientation, and the Device Tree lists all the cameras 
connected to the interface for easy viewing. Additional features such as patrol, rotate, zoom, 
and focus provide users with optimal control over their video surveillance.

The D-ViewCam Plus offers scheduled, motion, and manual recording options to meet specific 
user demands. Recorded files can be searched according to video type or selected within the 
user interface for playback, editing, or AVI /ASF file conversion.

Event Action provides enhanced surveillance and security by detecting events from smoke 
detectors, magnetic door sensors, emergency buttons, cameras, card readers, or other I/O 
devices. Connect any of these devices to the I/O connector of a compatible D-Link network 
camera so that, when an event triggers a device, a notification is immediately sent to the 
D-ViewCam Plus software. The D-ViewCam Plus then notifies you either by e-mail or an audio 
alert.
