_Accessing the Connect DVR Web Interface

To access the Connect DVR web interface:

1. Open a web browser and enter the Connect DVR appliance's assigned IP address. For example, if the IP Address is 10.5.1.4, enter a URL of  https://10.5.1.4.

2. When a browser accesses the website, it requests a security certificate to confirm that the site is trusted. The Connect DVR appliance ships with a self-signed SSL certificate key set which works with any configured server hostname. However, web browsers do not consider self-signed certificates to be trusted, because they are not signed by a Certificate Authority. Consequently, when accessing the website with a self-signed certificate, users see a security warning and are prompted for authorization as shown below. Responses may vary depending upon the browser used.

   

    
   
   

   Important

   Before proceeding or adding an exception for the site, check with your administrator on the correct response.

3. Log in using one of the credentials provided in the Important Notice document.
