To access the Web interface from a remote computer, start the Internet browser and type the
IP address or the domain name of the GV-Recording Server in the Location/Address field. If
the default HTTP port has been changed, type a colon and the port number after the IP
address, for example, Http://192.168.3.199:81/. After the login page appears, follow steps 6
to 8 to log in the Web interface.
Note:
1. To enable the updating of images in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your
browser to allow ActiveX Controls and perform a one-time installation of GeoVision's
ActiveX component onto your computer.
2. If the GV-Recording Server is installed behind a firewall or router, you may need to
open these default ports: HTTP port 80, server connection port (Active connection port)
11000 and Passive connection port 50000, remote playback (Remote ViewLog) port
5552.
3. The Command port is used for running the recording server. By default, 11 ports are
reserved, ranging from 20000 to 200010, for the program use. If other program is using
the default ports, you may need to change the Command port value.
