How do I access our cameras from my laptop?

Download the Multisite Viewer (CMS) from Watchnet for either Windows or Mac. (pictured below)

Extract the ZIP archive, run the EXE file and install the program with all options checked.
If you are unable to do this, you will need to contact your company’s IT or support department to have it done.

Once finished, Open “WatchNET Multisite Manager”
You will be required to set a password for the server/application running on your computer.
Make sure to record this and your security questions.

Once the program opens, Click “Devices” tab, and “+ Add” button.

  1. Name it as you see fit.
  2. Select the method to add.

If you have a newer system, you can save it using P2P.
