AutoVu Handbook 5.1 SR2 - Genetec

About this guide
This guide provides you with a complete source of information about how to install and
configure an AutoVu system.
You'll still need to refer to the Security Center Administrator Guide from time to time. For
example, this guide does not explain how to manage partitions or databases, since these
topics are also required for the other Security Center products (video and access control).
This guide assumes you are familiar with Security Center 5.1 systems.
