Video recording from the computer monitor is used to control the operator's actions. You can broadcast video from the computer monitor to Axxon One via the common protocols using the third-party software, for example:

1. Via the RTSP protocol using the VLC Media Player. 
2. Via the ONVIF protocol using the ScreenOnvif software, which can be purchased on the website http://screenonvif.com/en.
