User Management; User Accounts And Passwords - Q-See QT SERIES User Manual

Commercial ISPs provide their customers with dynamic addresses (IP numbers). These numbers can
change from time to time depending upon your service provider. When they do, you will lose the ability to
remotely access your DVR from your mobile phone or other out-of-network device. To prevent this from
happening, we recommend using a Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS). This will give you a domain
name that can be linked to your IP address and will automatically – and invisibly – forward remote
connections to your network when the IP address changes.
Q-See offers DDNS for free at MyQ-See.com. Create a domain name, user name and password before
proceeding. DynDNS.com also offers a similar free service. This is covered in-depth in the Remote
Monitoring Guide.
Select the box in the DDNS field to enable DDNS.
You will then enter the user name, domain name
and password you created into the appropriate
fields. You can also select the interval in days at
which the DDNS checks to see whether your IP
address has changed. Intervals range from every
30 minutes to once a day.
You can now access the DVR remotely by inputting that domain name into the web browser.

USER ACCOUNTS AND PASSWORDS

You can set up accounts for each individual user and grant them control of select parts of the
surveillance system. An administrator account is already created on the DVR. Additional accounts can be
created for users but only one administrator account is allowed.
To add a user select the Add button and the ADD USER window will open. It will have two tabs;
General and Authority
General Tab
Input the name, password and select the
type of user – normal or advance.
If you only want this user to be able to access
the DVR from a specific computer on the
network then select the Binding PC MAC
Address option and then enter the MAC
address of that computer.
Authority Tab
In this tab you can give this user access to all
or part of the system and its functions.
Setup button – Modify user's name, type, binding PC Mac address and etc. With the
exception of changing the password, the Admin account may not be modified.
Delete button –Remove a user from the system
Change Password button – Modify a user's password. The admin password may be
changed. The default is 123456.
To change a password, simply click on the button and enter the current password in the
pop-up window, along with the desired new password in the New Password and Confirm
Password fields before clicking OK to save and Exit to close the window.
