Release Notes
Digital Sentry 4.2 and DS ControlPoint 1.6 Release
Integral Digital Sentry® DS ControlPoint is designed for Windows® XP Professional or
Windows Vista® running on Intel® or compatible processors. Microsoft® no longer
supports Windows 2000; therefore, DS ControlPoint is no longer supported by Pelco on
the Windows 2000 platform.
For information about installing and using DS ControlPoint software, refer to the
Digital Sentry ControlPoint Operation manual or the ControlPoint online Help. A printable
PDF version of the manual is included on the resource disc.
