Until recent times Webcam Viewer functionality has been limited to PC only. By utilising the capabilities of the AGP and Webcam Viewer applications we can now provide a significant amount of functionality on the optiPoint Series phones via the DSM or APM. The application also has a Web Administration feature, which allows the administrator to configure the list of webcam feeds which the users can select from.
