3.1 Accessing the Decoder Remotely
In most cases, it is recommended to perform the initial configurations, before the Decoder is
even mounted to its location, using local access. This is because of the limitation of the
Decoder to decode some video resolution and compression. If monitoring will be mainly done
on a local display, it is recommended to directly test and view the camera live view on the local
display to ensure the video stream properties are supported for local display. Note that streams
higher than 2 megapixels (MP) or encoder other than H.264 can be properly viewed on a
remote client (i.e. Web Client) but cannot be viewed on the local display. After the initial
configurations and installation, further management or advanced security settings may be
done through remote access by a client computer with web browser (supports Internet
Explorer only).

the Decoder. There are several ways to access the Decoder, options are:
From Windows, click Start > Computer > Network. Double-click on the Decoder model
to open the user interface on the web browser.
