BERGHOCH for PC

Running BERGHOCH on a PC lets you monitor your HD DVR system from your desk with a stable connection and full keyboard access, rather than juggling your phone between tasks. BERGHOCH connects your smartphone to your HD DVR video surveillance system via cloud link: no router configuration needed. Scan the QR code from your recorder, and you're connected. On a larger screen with consistent power and internet, you gain uninterrupted live streaming and support for review saved footage without draining mobile data or battery.

Moving BERGHOCH from your phone to a PC reshapes how you interact with your HD DVR system. A desktop setup keeps the app running continuously in one place, with no background-process drain and the space to keep it open alongside other windows.

How a PC Session with BERGHOCH Unfolds

Getting started is straightforward on any computer. Follow these steps:

1. Obtain the QR code from your HD DVR recorder at home.
2. Open BERGHOCH for Windows PC and scan the code using your device camera or enter the connection details manually.
3. Establish your cloud connection: the server bridges your home DVR and your PC, storing no video data.
4. Access the live stream of your camera system on the main screen.
5. Review saved files directly from your HD DVR if you're at home on the same network.
6. Adjust substream settings (D1 to CIF, bitrate to 7 Mbit) if upload speeds at home fall below 2 Mbit.

Internet Requirements and Setup Reality

BERGHOCH depends on connection quality, not complexity. At home, your HD DVR needs a minimum 2 Mbit upload speed via DSL, cable, or LTE: most internet-speed test sites report download rates, so verify upload separately. A PC installation lets you leave BERGHOCH signed in on one stable machine, avoiding repeated login friction on mobile. On the go, a 3G or LTE connection works, though slower speeds mean fewer frames display in the live stream. The app respects your data: the cloud server exists only to route the connection between your recorder and your device, not to archive video.

Desktop Advantages for Surveillance Monitoring

A computer offers persistence that a phone cannot match. You can leave BERGHOCH open in a window throughout your workday, checking live feeds or historical footage without switching apps or managing battery drain. Install BERGHOCH on PC if you need to monitor multiple cameras at once or hold a session open for hours. The larger display makes scanning multiple camera feeds easier, and a wired internet connection at your desk eliminates the upload-speed guesswork of mobile networks. Disable background-mode settings in your Android app manager to prevent unnecessary power use if you run BERGHOCH on a PC connected to a continuous power source.
