MODULAR DESIGN
VisionTech 2000 Transmitter is available with many different features and capabilities.
The differences are intended to suit particular applications and customer needs. Most of the
differences depend on the software modules that have been installed on the transmitter.
This manual covers a VisionTech 2000 Transmitter system with all of its modules
enabled. If there is feature in this document that you are interested in, the features are listed in
the VisionTech program group, you can access the relevant part number in the Start Menu under
VisionTech\HME Modules Registration. If a module has been enabled on your system, it will be
listed as “Active”. If not, it will have a part number. Contact your dealer or vendor for pricing
and availability. Not all of the features listed will be available at the time of this publication.
With a full-featured version you can:
•Automatically accept a call from a PC running VisionTech 2000 Receiver Software
and transmit digital video over a Modem-to-Modem, LAN, WAN or Direct Cable
Connection.
•Control the camera views. View Touring allows you to automatically switch through
groups of cameras for hands free monitoring.
•Control Pan Tilt Zoom cameras.
•Respond to alarm triggers and trigger outputs to open doors or gates, turn on and off
lights and more.
•Automatically call a PC when an alarm trips and display a picture on its desktop of
what happened.
•Accept connections from as many as 255 receivers simultaneously.
•Record only when the video image has changed with HME’s hardware-based Video
Motion Detection.
•Record cameras regardless of what is on the screen. Previous VisionTech titles could
only record what was on the screen.
•Record video to a remote location or locally with Record On Demand.

1. ACCESS RIGHTS
The Access Rights module protects the system setup configuration. Users will not be
able to enter areas of setup that may cause configuration errors and bring the system down.
Since exiting the program stops recording, operators can be denied exit rights.
Groups and Users
Entries made to Access Rights are sorted by Groups and Users. There can be up to 256
group entries and 256 users within each group. Access rights are granted or denied to each
group. Each user then shares the same rights within the group they belong to.

Adding Groups
The system has one default group entry
and one default user entry. The Supervisor
group has access to all levels. The default
group should not be removed since doing so
would lockout all users from the system. The
default user can be edited to fit the profile of
the environment it is placed in. To add a
group, click the Group of Access Rights tab on
the Access Rights dialog. Click on the Add
Group button. Once the entry is in place, the
name field is selected to accept the name of the
newly added group. All of the Assigned
Rights are locked as indicated by the padlock
icon next to the feature name.
Click the padlock icon next to the features you want to enable for this group. The icon
will change to a check mark.
All of the entries under List of
Features pertain to entering
VisionTech 2000 Setup except
for Exit Right.
