To login to the web interface of your recorder, you would need a computer. There are 2 ways to login.
1. Connect your computer to the LAN port of your recorder or to the same network as the recorder. Make sure that your computer's IP address is in the same range as your recorder.
Changing the IP address of a Windows Computer
- Open Settings.
- Select Network & Internet.
- Select Status, then Change Adapter Options.
-
Right-click the network adapter you want to change the IP address for, and select Properties.
- Select the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) item.
- Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address in the same range as the device you are trying to access. (E.g when trying to access 192.168.1.108 use a IP address in the 192.168.1.x range.) Note: This cannot be the same as the device you are trying to connect to or any other device on the same network. Save your changes on both windows.
- Type the IP address of the device you are trying to access into the address bar of your web browser.
- Once finished configuring the device, change the adapter settings back to normal by following steps 1-6 and clicking Obtain an IP address automatically.
