Product Overview
GateEye is a software program that operates via Ethernet to acquire image data from
network cameras and Yokogawa’s DX, MV, and CX series instruments, and distributes
those images to clients on the network. GateEye does not store image data. This
manual explains how GateEye acts as a client to acquire image data from networked
devices (cameras and Yokogawa DX, MV, and CX series instruments), and acts as
the server to distribute those images to other clients. GateEye allows you to enter
connection settings for downloading images from a server, and view connection settings,
image data client information, and server information. Settings for distributing images
must be entered on each individual client.
