Login / Logout 

Login using the same accounts setup in the DVR. The authority is also the 

same as setup in the DVR.   

One preset account “admin” and up to two other accounts can access a DVR 

at the same time. Nevertheless, if the “admin” account is currently accessing 

the unit’s OSD setup menu via front panel of the unit, then the “admin” 

account at the remote monitoring site cannot change the settings at the same 

time. The “admin” account of the DVR has priority.   

The following steps demonstrate procedures to view video from remote unit: 

x

  Start the remote monitoring software by entering the IP Address of the 

DVR in the Address bar of the browser. Alternatively, click on the Favorite 

entry for the unit (if the IP address of the unit has been set). 

x

  Enter the Username and password. The login username and password 

can be saved to ease future login. The default username and password is 

admin

 /

 1234

.

x

  Click <OK> to login to the DVR. The process may take a few seconds.   

x

  If the connection is made successfully, the main window will display live 

video of the attached cameras. 

If the IE browser is closed, the remote system is logout and disconnected 

from the DVR at the same time.
