Pre-Requirements In order to successfully install and use the integrated system, the following pre-requirements must be verified prior to installation: 1. An installed DSX system exists on the network and is running a version that supports ViconNet (Win-DSX or DSX-SQL and higher). 2. Existing DVR license from DSX either on the database or using a USB key on the client PC. 3. An installed ViconNet system exists on the network running ViconNet ver The PC used as the DSX workstation (client PC) and that will be used for the video integration complies with ViconNet minimum requirements (see latest ViconNet specification V113 for complete details): a.
