UNV-Link

UNV-Link: A Mobile Manager for UNV Video Security Systems

UNV-Link is the official mobile application for remotely accessing and managing video surveillance systems built with Uniview (UNV) products. This application is designed for business and property owners who require real-time oversight of their premises from anywhere. Users would want UNV-Link to monitor live camera feeds, review recorded footage, and receive instant security alerts directly on their smartphone, ensuring constant connectivity to their security infrastructure. The app transforms a mobile device into a powerful monitoring station.

Live View and Multi-Screen Monitoring

Users begin by launching the UNV-Link app and logging into their account. The primary action is to select a connected device from their list to instantly stream live video. Users can perform actions like viewing a single camera feed in full screen or monitoring multiple camera streams simultaneously on a grid. The workflow is straightforward: tap a device, then tap a channel to view. This function provides immediate visual access to supervised locations, allowing for real-time situational awareness directly through UNV-Link.

Playback of Recorded Video

To review past events, users navigate to the playback section within UNV-Link. They select the desired device and camera channel, then use an on-screen timeline to pinpoint the exact date and time for investigation. Users perform actions like dragging a slider and tapping play to begin viewing archived footage. This utility is critical for incident verification and gathering evidence, as all recorded video stored on the connected NVR is accessible remotely through the UNV-Link application on their mobile device.

Receiving and Managing Push Notifications

This feature requires users to first enable alert permissions within the UNV-Link application settings. When a connected surveillance camera detects motion or another configured event, UNV-Link sends an instant push notification to the user's phone. The user performs the action of tapping the alert, which then opens the app to display a snapshot or linked video clip of the triggering event. This allows for immediate assessment of potential security incidents, making UNV-Link a proactive monitoring tool.

Two-Way Audio Communication

For devices with speaker support, users can utilize the two-way audio function in UNV-Link. While viewing a live feed, the user taps the microphone icon to activate the feature. They then perform the action of speaking directly into their phone’s microphone; their voice is broadcast in real-time through the speaker on the connected camera device. This is used for remote communication, such as issuing a verbal warning or providing instructions, adding an interactive layer to the UNV-Link security platform.

Device Management and Settings

Users can configure their security system directly from the app. This involves selecting a device within UNV-Link to access its settings menu. From here, users perform actions like adjusting motion detection zones, modifying recording schedules, or updating system parameters. The workflow enables centralized control over system behavior without requiring physical presence at the NVR, ensuring that the surveillance operation can be finely tuned and maintained remotely through the UNV-Link interface.

Cloud Service Integration

For users subscribed to a cloud storage plan, UNV-Link serves as the access portal. Users navigate to the cloud service section to review footage that has been uploaded and stored remotely. The process involves selecting dates and events to stream video from the cloud, ensuring that recorded evidence is preserved off-site and remains accessible even if local equipment is compromised. This integration provides a crucial backup and enhances data security, all managed within the UNV-Link ecosystem.
