Below is the Center V2 and the Control Center.
Center V2 vs. Control Center
Center V2 – DVR connects to the Center V2 server; therefore, if connecting remotely, you would need to make sure ports are forwarded to point to the Center V2.
Center V2 records additional video into the Center V2 server, the videos are independent from the DVR
When Center V2 registers motion events, you may be able to double click on event to open up a template for documentation and timestamp
Center V2 is designed to support 500 DVRs and 800 channels of video, but in reality the maximum view at one time is only 42 channels on a dual monitor setup. When more than 42 channels are available in the Center V2, you will need to scroll to the next page to see more videos.
The Center V2 is best used when you know the percentage of concurrent camera going on motion detection at one time. For example, if you have 160 channels of video and only 20% of the camera concurrently having motion detection, you are actually using only 32 (160 x 20%) of the 42 channels able to be displayed.
Control Center – The Control Center connects to the DVR so the port forwarding is done on the DVR side.
Each Control Center Server may support up to 4 matrixes. Each matrix coordinates may offset up to 4 different monitors. If the video card and monitor supports high resolution, each matrix is able to display up to 96 channels, otherwise each matrix is only 64 channels. If 96 channels is used the maximum channel per Control Center Server is 384 channels at one time.
The way the channels are added to the matrix is through creating folder and adding cameras in to the folder. The way the camera is displayed in the matrix starts from the top left hand corner and makes a clockwise swirl towards the center.
The Control Center Server may use Remote Desktop or Remote DVR to connect to the DVR and make configuration changes.
There is not upper limit to the number of DVRs the Control Center can connect to only limit is at the matrix.
Control Center may also pull up the DVRs view log and remotely view recorded video of the DVR system. The Control Center does NOT make additional recording.
