OK with your tips I figured it out. I was unsuccessful in accessing my DVR from my Macbook using safari. I tried it from a PM using IE and it loaded an actives control and ba bing I had access to all the admin controls I wanted.

Thanks for your direction!

Apologies - I will do some more trying. I had only used the Mac client or the mobile option (neither of which offered the same capabilities as the console)

Haven't connected to the DVR using a web browser.

Thanks for the guidance.

Thanks for your reply.

I do have remote access to the videos but what I'm trying to accomplish is "console access" so I can adjust settings that are only available from the monitor attached to the DVR. (Motion tuning, schedule, etc)

Thanks

I have just recently purchased my first Security camera system. Its a SWANN H.264 4-camera setup. My intended use will be at a remote location and would like the ability to manage the setup screens remotely. I have setup the ability to view the cameras from my iPhone and Mac and that works fine.

Since the physical DVR device will be a couple hours away from me most of the time I'd like to be able to manage the administration of the DVR.

I was thinking of something like VNC or RDP but my testing has failed

I'd welcome any ideas!

Thanks

Bill
