Connecting to a DVR Using Web Viewer
1.Open Microsoft Internet Explorer.
2.Enter the IP address of the DVR into the Address Bar.
3.When attempting this for the first time on a computer a window will open and you will be asked to accept an Active X installation. Select Yes to this.
NOTE:If you receive a message saying Internet Explorer® security settings do not allow you to download Active X components then you will need to adjust the browser security settings. One way to do this is to add the IP address of the DVR to the trusted sites list inside Internet Explorer® settings. Contact the System administrator for additional help with adjusting Internet Explorer® settings.
