SOFTWARE
The table below lists the versions of the Windows operating system that are compatible with
CMS along with any updates and which version of DirectX you will need to be running.
2.1 INSTALLING CMS
CMS can be installed by clicking on the
Install CMS Software button on the CD
included with your DVR, or by clicking on the
file Setup.exe in the CMS folder.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS GETTING STARTED
HARDWARE
The following shows the minimum hardware requirements necessary to ensure a stable
operating experience depending on the number of channels being monitored simultaneously
with CIF resolution and real-time 30 frames per second speed. Up to 64 channels can be
viewed simultaneously, at a slower frame-rate. The actual number of channels that can be
monitored – along with their speed – is dependent upon bandwidth, the nature of your internet
connection (both at your location and the location of each DVR), and the capabilities of your
computer’s video card.
Operating System Comments
Windows XP SP2 or later DirectX 9.0c or later
Windows 2000 SP4, DirectX 9.0c or later
Windows Vista DirectX 10.0c or later
Windows 7 DirectX 10.0c or later

INTERNET CONNECTION SPEEDS
The minimum speed on the internet connection is 1Mbps download and 1Mbps upload for 4
and 8 channels, and 2Mbps download and upload for 16 channels. This applies to the Internet
connections both at the DVR and the computer you are monitoring from. If you are monitoring
multiple DVRs, your computer’s bandwidth needs will increase proportionately if you wish
to monitor a large number of channels simultaneously. You can check the speed of your
connection at both ends by going www.SpeedTest.net from both a computer attached to the
same router as the DVR as well as the remote computer which you will be using.
COMPATIBLE NETWORK SECURITY SYSTEMS
The following Q-See products can be accessed and controlled using CMS. They must be
set up and properly configured for remote monitoring before attempting to access them with
CMS.
QT4 SERIES – Includes: QT426, QT428, QT446, QT454, QT474 and QT4332.
QT5 SERIES – Includes: QT504, QT518, QT526, QT528, QT536 and QT5116.
This list was complete at the time of its writing but any new QT-series DVR purchased after the
revision date noted at the bottom of page 3 will be compatible with the latest version of CMS.
IMPORTANT! Turn off any anti-virus software currently running on your
computer before beginning installation to avoid software conflicts.
If launching the installer from the CD, an
information window will pop up. Click OK to
continue.
The Setup window will open advising you
to close all other programs. Click on Next to
proceed.
The next window will allow you to select
where to install the CMS Control Center
application. By default, it will install in the
Program Files folder on your computer, but
you may click on Browse to choose another
destination. Click on Next to proceed.
