If the DVR Server records too often, raise the sensitivity level.

The Web Client plugin for Internet Explorer is sometimes detected as a threat. Here is what is really happening: The Web Client plugin (TCVideo.exe) is an ActiveX control that installs locally on the Client PC and sends/receives data with a remote server (the DVR Server). This behavior is sometimes flagged as a threat in some anti-virus applications.

This is an issue with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 browser not correctly translating ActiveX controls and must be fixed by Microsoft. Downgrade to IE6/7.
