# User interfaces and remote access

Pearl Nexus has several user interfaces:

- **Admin Panel**: A web-based user interface that's primarily used to perform system set up and administrative tasks for your Pearl Nexus. You can access the Admin Panel using an internet browser on a computer or tablet that's connected to the same local Ethernet network as your Pearl Nexus, or locally using a USB mouse, keyboard, and monitor connected directly to the Pearl Nexus.

- **Epiphan Live**: A web-based user interface that is primarily used for confidence monitoring, statistics, live switching, and recording control.

Start and stop recording/streaming, monitor video sources, view status and alerts, remote rescue troubleshooting and more over the Internet using Epiphan Edge.
