-Eyecopia Remote Glossary-
To become better acquainted with the Eyecopia Remote program, it may help to understand some key terminology used within the program. Below, you will see a number of terms that are often used in this help system and in our support of this product. Please let us know if you need additional help understanding these concepts.
- Eyecopia server:
- The Eyecopia Remote program allows you to connect to other computers that are running the main Eyecopia program. The main Eyecopia program allows computers are connected to one or more camera devices and monitor them. We use the term Eyecopia server to differentiate between the computer using Eyecopia Remote and the computer with the actual Eyecopia monitoring system.
- Eyecopia events:
- Events are the video files, and associated information, that is created by an Eyecopia server when motion is detected by a monitored camera. Event notifications are images that contain textual information and images pulled from the event video and distributed to various contacts of an Eyecopia server through email, cellular device text messages, or popup notifications in Eyecopia Remote.
- DNS Service:
- This is an internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. This helps programs like Eyecopia Remote and Eyecopia communicate without having to deal with difficulties such as dynamic IP addresses. There are many companies that offer dynamic DNS services free of charge, such as www.DynDNS.org.
- Access Rights:
- Eyecopia owners always have the power to restrict a contact's access to their monitoring system. Access can be provided or restricted for email, cell, and Eyecopia Remote notifications. The Eyecopia application is very careful about protecting this type of access so that Eyecopia owners never have to worry about unwanted users viewing their personal system.
