Typical Solstice NVR Video window

Step 11. Logging into of the NVR

If your computer is on the same local network (subnet) as your Solstice NVR, you can log into the NVR by

using the IP address of the NVR as the URL. In the example below, the IP address of the NVR is:

192.168.75.19.

If you are outside the local network, and the router of the LAN where your NVR is installed is reachable

from your computer, you can usually assign a port in the router that will forward a connection through to

(the local IP local address of) your NVR. In this conguration, the URL for your browser is in the form:

<router IP address> : <port>.

where <router IP address> is the IP address of the router of the LAN where the NVR is

installed, and <port> is the router port number assigned to the IP address on the NVR.

NOTE The port number cannot be 80 or any port used by other equipment on the LAN. For more

information, refer to the documentation for your router, or internet sources on “port forwarding”.

If the connection to the NVR is successful, a login window will open. Enter your Username and Password,

then click Log In. The default administrative Username and Password is admin and admin.

During the initialization process, a pop-up window similar to the follow might open. If so, click Run to

continue and open the Solstice NVR Video window.
