How to use Watcher -
Settings Manual
Listening Settings
Used together with another
software from Digi-Watcher, the RemoteView, you can
connect to Watcher software at home and take a
look at what's happening there. The Listening function
in the Capture mode
enables your home PC to be in a ready state to
accept the request sent from the RemoteView
software. The following settings define how the
connection should be established.
There are two modes of
connection: TCP/IP
connection and Modem-to-Modem direct
Connection.
For TCP/IP connection, the
RemoteView must use your home PC's IP address
or hostname to connect. Therefore, it is
essential to get the IP address of the home PC
(How can I know
what's my home PC's IP address? ), or its
hostname (How can I
obtain a permanent hostname of my home PC in
the case of dynamic IP?)
A new feature from Version
1.35 onwards enables you to set the listening
port of Watcher. This is useful when multiple
watchers are running on the same PC and
RemoteView can connect to anyone of them by
specifying the respective port number. However,
if you are not using the multiple installation
of Watcher, please leave the port number to be
5003.
Please remember that if your
Watcher is running behind a firewall, and you
want a TCP/IP connection, please make
sure your firewall opens the listening
ports.
Note that if you have XP default firewall on, it might ask you to
whether block or unblock Watcher software, please click on unblock, because
Watcher needs to listen on TCP/IP port for incoming RemoteView connection.
Please refer here for more details on
how RemoteView is used to receive the video
from Watcher.
You can
also set password for RemoteView to connect to
Watcher. This is to prevent other people using
their RemoteView to connect to your
Watcher. This option can
be found in the Settings dialog.
