Director
The DSD™ Director is a Microsoft Windows application used to configure and manage the DSD™ system. It provides the end-user with a sophisticated user-interface to easily manage the complex operations of DSD™. The Director application can run from any number of end-user computers concurrently.
 
Agent
The DSD™ Agent is a Microsoft Windows service that coordinates the Director; it requests DVR data from the Probe, analyses the results, and stores the processed data in the database. The DSD™ Agent service is installed on a single computer called the DSD™ Host.
 
Probe Agent
The DSD™ Probe Agent is a Microsoft Windows service that communicates with a DVR and collects data about its operating status. It also evaluates the quality of the images captured by the DVR's surveillance cameras.  The Probe Agent is installed on a single computer called a Probe. Multiple Probes may be required, working as a group, to accelerate the retrieval of data from thousands of DVRs.
 
DVR Interface Plug-In
The DSD™ DVR Interface Plug-In is a software driver that permits a Probe to communicate with many DVR brands.  Each brand of DVR requires a unique Plug-In. A single Probe computer is equipped with at least one Plug-In. A Probe may be equipped with multiple Plug-Ins so it can communicate with many brands of DVRs.
 
Database
