Vista VK2 mobile solutions for the VIP2 range of cameras offer a powerful option for managing cameras and recorded footage via your mobile device. This provides you with the flexibility, usability and security to manage data from your CCTV system whenever and wherever is convenient to you. Supporting Apple Iphone and iPad, Vista mobile solutions allow you to control cameras, go to presets, set alarms and initiate tours, providing you with complete control of your cameras. The split screen function gives you the ability to view up to six cameras live, offering a great overview of the entire system or of user-defined groups of cameras. If there are intruders on site, the 2-way audio allows you to listen to their activity. This provides an excellent tool for police as criminals often unwittingly identify themselves or give vital details away, not realising that their conversations are being recorded. It also provides you with the means to communicate with the intruders, warning them that their activities are being monitored. Security of all digital information is essential, so to ensure unauthorised users cannot gain access to your footage, the Vista app has built-in password protection requiring the user to authenticate before video is displayed. For extra flexibility and management of data, you can also backup and import app settings, for example when a device is replaced or upgraded. KEY FEATURES: > SD Card Playback - Playback video stored directly on Vista VK2 cameras. > Live Streaming - Access real-time live video from Vista VK2 cameras. > Viewing Groups - View multiple cameras at one time > PTZ Support - Complete control of PTZ cameras. > Audio Support - Bidirectional audio *** Requires Vista VK2 Cameras ***
