To be able to remotely access the RP Series software, the user must first create an exception in the network's
firewall (also known as Port Forwarding).
1. Log into the router that the system is directly connected to and forward ports 80, 5100 and 5101 to the local IP
address of the system.
2. If there is a modem with an embedded firewall connected to the router, the ports will also have to be opened
in the modem and forwarded to the router's IP address or simply disable the firewall in the ISP provided modem.
Once these steps are complete, remote viewing of the system is now enabled.
*Contact your ISP to find out what your current public IP address is, or go to an IP Identifying page such as
www.whatismyip.com.
From a remote location there are 2 methods that can be used to log into the system, either use Internet Explorer
or use the RP Series Client Software.
1.
In Internet Explorer, type the public IP address into the address bar. This will bring up the RP Series login
page. The default username is admin with no password.
NOTE: To use Internet Explorer to view the camera video, Active X controls must be enabled
- In Internet Explorer, click on Tools, then Internet Options. Click on the Security tab then click the Custom
Level button. Scroll down the list of plugins and set ALL Active X controls to Enable or Prompt. Ensure none of
them are on Disabled.
1.
Install the RP Client Software (called NVR Client) onto a Windows based system that will be used to log
into the system. After the software has been installed, run the application.
2.
Click on Settings near the bottom then click the Add button in the settings window. Input the system's IP
address, username and password, then click OK.
The system will now be listed on the right hand side of the NVR Client Application. Click the connect button to
connect to the system.
