monitoring page by the following two options:
1) NVR Search
Once you click “Connect” or double click the selected Server list, the
IE browser will pop up automatically.
2) Web browser (IE, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera)
Login to the system by entering its IP address in web browser.
Note: There are 2 methods to set network:
Obtain an IP address automatically (Failover Server Default)
Obtain an available dynamic IP address assigned by a DHCP
server. If this option is selected, the Failover Server will
automatically obtain an available dynamic IP address from the
DHCP server once it connects to the network.
Specify an IP address
If there is no DHCP server existing in network environments, the
static IP address will be given as 192.168.1.245. It should be
adaptable in most networking environment, and user can choose to
maintain the default IP address or change it in this page. However,
it’s recommended setting different IP address of the Failover Server
if there is more than one Failover Server in the same LAN.
