5. Click Apply.
Note If no additional user accounts have been created the administrator account will be the only
account that can connect to the recorder remotely.

Connecting to a Recorder Using Web Viewer
1. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer.
2. Enter the IP address of the recorder into the Address Bar.
3. When attempting this for the first time on a workstation a prompt will ask you to accept an ActiveX
installation. Select Yes.

download ActiveX components then you will need to adjust the browser security settings. One
way to do this is to add the IP address of the recorder to the trusted sites list inside Internet
Explorer® settings. Contact the System administrator for additional help with adjusting
Internet Explorer settings.
