1. Forward
Previously, camera manipulation and data storing/searching were possible only on the DVR
installed computer. This meant that a person must physically present in front of the specific
computer for even minor administration such as checking the current status of the system.
This has become a big hassle for those who must overlook many DVR systems. To
overcome these difficulties, Talon Net has been introduced.
With Talon Net, you can now enjoy all the functions of a Talon system anytime, any remote
location by connecting to the main server computer over modem, LAN, or Internet. The
functions include checking the system status, searching the stored data, and even changing
the user settings and the recording schedule.
The ability to be able to perform total control from any place any time is what Talon Net
makes by introducing Network Security Program for the next generation.
