PS Eye is an application for collecting and storing CDR and other data from PortStore units.
The program is available free of charge for collecting data from up to three devices, commercial version supports up to 64 data sources (IP addresses).

The goal of deploying a PortStore unit together with the PS Eye application is to transfer CMDR/CDR data from an IP or a serial port (RS-232) to text files, which are processed by another application.

Data from PortStore2 or PortStore4 units can be downloaded in different ways (TCP Client / Server, FTP, Email) and are stored to files for processing in other applications.
