Chapter 4: iGuardware
iGuardware is a collection of two utility programs: iGuard Utility and iGuardview. You
can use the iGuard Utility to quickly setup multiple iGuard units and you can use
iGuardview to monitor multiple cameras, and maybe most importantly to perform
motion tracking (V2.5 and above only). If you have a DHCP server on the network, the
iGuard will obtain an IP address automatically, and you can enter this IP address in IE
to launch the web manager (Chapter 5).
